Fall 2024 didn't bring me personally many shows to watch so my recap is a short one
DanDaDan - 10/10
Just a ridiculous show that delivered the massive hype this show came with. Every character was amazing, but Momo Ayase instantly became one of my favorite characters of all-time. Shion Wakayama delivered back-to-back perfect VA performances with Momo this season and Lemon in Makeine last season. Out of the 12 episodes we get 11 absolutely crazy episodes and then one episodes that just crushes your soul. I was just silent for like 15 minutes staring at a black screen and the first words that came out of my mouth were that it was one of the best episodes of TV I've ever seen. Just heartbreaking but also such and beatiful episode. I hadn't heard of Science SARU before, but they did a great job with the animation and clearly they had so much fun working with this. Yet another studio showing how overrated MAPPA is.
I've never seen this bad of a cliffhanger between season or cours but luckily we only have wait for 6 months.
Blue Box - 7,5/10
I'll give this a halftime review as the show will continue on for 13 more episodes.
Started watching this as I saw some early hype for the show and there wasn't much else to watch. Maybe the hype got to my head, but I found the show really slow and boring. Maybe it was the combination of romance and sports anime, but I found the romance part lacking and I don't care for sports animes. I found both of our MCs kinda meh especially compared to the side characters which seemed much more interesting. Not really much else to say about it. I think I'll stick with the show though as there isn't too much to watch next season, but we'll see.
I've been rewatching/introducing animes to my GF so I don't have much time to watch many of the new ones. I could give Orb a chance if I'm bored over the Christmas break. I watched a few episodes of Ranma 1/2 since I remember reading few chapters of the manga when I was like 10 years old, but the I had zero memory of the show and the show didn't hook me after couple episodes.
Winter 2025 has few interesting shows of course lead by the Apothecary Diaries. I'm sure I'll get a headache though rolling my eyes for all the Solo Levelling fans telling me how it's "THE PEAK", just like with season 1. This time I don't think I'll bother with the show though, but we'll see.
