Is it just me, or is it weird that this season has adaptations from at least 2 manga that have slowed to a crawl? I get that most anime are just advertisements for manga, but why bother when the manga is barely putting out new chapters?

Which two?

Said no one: "Yay! Another CARDFIGHT!! Series!"

Also, why are they making a 2nd season of Tskukimichi? Someone just had to continue (finish?) the extremely low effort story‽

I wrote elsewhere about my thoughts on Tsukimichi season 2. I am a big fan of the source material and agree that the first season was alright at best. I think part of it is that the first parts of the story are probably its weakest, but then the anime was a very mediocre adaptation. So, it was a mediocre adaptation of not great parts of the story which added up to a very generic feeling isekai.

For the second season (which I was surprised to see happen tbh), there is a new studio and they announced it will be 2 cours. So, I am hoping that better source material combined with a renewed investment in the production will add up to a better season of anime this time around. We will see!

At the end of the day though, if the first season didn't connect with you at all, season 2 probably won't either.

If anyone hasn't tried Mashlee yet, give it a go! Hilarious! Try the first episode, and you'll assuredly know if it's for you or not

Shows for Winter 2024 on my radar, that I am interested in watching:

Classroom of the Elite: first two seasons were fun, looking forward to season 3
Bottom-tier Character Tomozaki: first season was OK, I'm interested in where the story will go
Mato Seihei no Slave: I vaguely recall someone saying there was something good about the source material
MASHLE: first season was OK, I'm not very interested in S2, I might binge it when the season is complete
Blue Exorcist: oh, another season. It's been a while. I remember liking the first season and being confused at the start of the second season (it's about 6 years between each season, so maybe I just forgot some important details. From a S2 MAL review: "the season does not follow the end of season 1. Episodes 18-25 were not canon and accordingly, they do not exist in season 2", I didn't know this, so maybe that was my problem)
The Dangers in My Heart: first season was fantastic, excited for the second season
A Sign of Affection: the source material is rated highly on MAL, I'll give it a shot
Banished from the Hero's Party: First season was OK
TSUKIMICHI: I liked the first season, looking forward to the second season
The Foolish Angel Dances with the Devil: I saw the PV, I'll give it a shot
Cherry Magic!: The source material is rated well on MAL, I'll give it a shot
The Witch and the Beast: The source material is rated well on MAL, I'll give a shot
The Weakest Tamer Began a Journey to Pick Up Trash: WILDCARD, I dunno, it sounds like absolute trash from the title, but I think I'll give it a shot anyways
