What I'm Watching, Winter 2023 Anime Season

New Stuff:

Ars no Kyojuu (Giant Beasts of Ars) - A show with a concept of "let's use waifu powers to kill raid bosses" didn't need this much worldbuilding effort. I am very interested in how this goes.

Benriya Saitou-san, Isekai ni Iku (Handyman Saitou in Another World) - Comfy no-plot isekai don't have the best performance with me, but this one is endearing enough that maybe it will break through.

Koori Zokusei Danshi to Cool na Douryou Joshi (The Ice Guy and His Cool Female Colleague) - It's Wotakoi meets Interviews with Monster Girls. I like both of those things, and I'm liking this too. Very slow, and both protagonists are perfect cupcakes. Sometimes that's all you need.

Ningen Fushin no Boukensha-tachi ga Sekai wo Sukuu you desu (Ningen Fushin: Adventurers Who Don't Believe in Humanity Will Save the World) - I usually can't deal with the "what if this genre but being realistic means things suck" shows. Somehow this one didn't set off my cringe detectors yet. It might not make it through the whole season, but I'm in for now.

Otonari no Tenshi-sama ni Itsunomanika Dame Ningen ni Sareteita Ken (The Angel Next Door Spoils Me Rotten) - Ah yes, a fusion of the "perfect girlfriend you will never have" and "perfect school idol is actually a normal and sometimes sarcastic person" microgenres. Maybe it will get exasperating, but for now let's do it.

Revenger - Who knows, maybe some dark over the top samurai violence will keep my list for the season from being oops all comedy.

Rougo ni Sonaete Isekai de 8-manmai no Kinka wo Tamemasu (Saving 80,000 Gold in Another World for My Retirement) - Yes we get it, the only way anyone today will save up for retirement is going to a literal fantasy world. This one is superficially far on the light and fluffy side, but it's also openly wearing a black armband of unexpressed grief and I'm wondering where they're going with that.

Rougo ni Sonaete Isekai de 8-manmai no Kinka wo Tamemasu (The Magical Revolution of the Reincarnated Princess and the Genius Young Lady) - Is this lesbian V for Vendetta? Is this Utena with less incest? Is this no-boys-allowed magical Dr. Stone? I don't know, but I'm here for it. A possible show of the season dark horse.

Tomo-chan wa Onnanoko! (Tomo-chan Is a Girl!) - Will some teenagers figure out their feelings? How will this love directed graph resolve? Spin the wheel of twists - the main girl is a tomboy! Yeah this show is for me personally, probably. This is the frontrunner for show of the season.

Tsundere Akuyaku Reijou Liselotte to Jikkyou no Endou-kun to Kaisetsu no Kobayashi-san (Endo and Kobayashi Live! The Latest on Tsundere Villainess Lieselotte) - The Villainess genre is definitely going to be overloaded soon (it's been popular in the non-moving pictures space for some time). However it ain't yet, and this twist on the genre is wild. Another potential show of the season candidate.

Sequels:

Itai no wa Iya nano de Bougyoryoku ni Kyokufuri Shitai to Omoimasu. 2 (BOFURI: I Don't Want to Get Hurt, so I'll Max Out My Defense. Season 2) - Bofuri is one of the great comfy/funny power fantasy shows. Obviously I'm back for more.

Maou Gakuin no Futekigousha: Shijou Saikyou no Maou no Shiso, Tensei shite Shison-tachi no Gakkou e Kayou II (The Misfit of Demon King Academy II) - Misfit is one of the great awesome/funny power fantasy shows. Obviously I'm back for more of this too.

Carryovers:

Boku no Hero Academia 6th Season - it's HeroAca, by now you're either watching it or you're not.

Kage no Jitsuryokusha ni Naritakute! (The Eminence in Shadow) - Sorry Bofuri and Misfit - this one might be THE best takedown of the isekai/power fantasy genre. I'm going to have some things to say about this when it's done.

Urusei Yatsura (2022) - This modern take on one of the ancestors of every romcom shenanigans series today is a jolly good time.

Hall of Shame (things I already dropped after one episode):

Buddy Daddies - This is going to be the easy winner for people who are in it for comedy and feels, but I don't think I'll be able to deal with the kid. Sorry, I'm sure it's good, it's just not for me.

Dog Show - I'm not going to link it and you shouldn't look for it. I watched one episode to see how bad it is and it turns out to be softcore hentai with something that is definitely not my fetish.

Kaiko sareta Ankoku Heishi (30-dai) no Slow na Second Life (Chillin' in My 30s after Getting Fired from the Demon King's Army) - It's just so mid, and panty shots we don't get to see and grotesquely oversized anime tiddy can't make up for that.

Spy Kyoushitsu (Spy Classroom) - How can we take spy vs spy mind games and make them mindbogglingly boring? I don't know why you asked to do that but you did. Congrats. Skip.

Trigun Stampede - I don't need Trigun again but bad. Pass.

Manga the Week of 3/23/22

SEAN: As we head towards the second half of March, what brand new titles get our attention?

Airship has a lot of new print titles. We get Arifureta: From Commonplace to World’s Strongest ZERO 5, The Haunted Bookstore – Gateway to a Parallel Universe 2, The Saint’s Magic Power is Omnipotent 6, and The Strange Adventure of a Broke Mercenary 4.

ASH: Another reminder to self to move The Haunted Bookstore up on my reading list.

SEAN: There’s also early digital releases for My Status as an Assassin Obviously Exceeds the Hero’s 4 and Reborn as a Space Mercenary: I Woke Up Piloting the Strongest Starship! 4.

Denpa Books has a 3rd volume of Heavenly Delusion.

ASH: Glad to see! I’ve been liking this series.

SEAN: Ghost Ship has a debut this week with GUNBURED × SISTERS. It’s a Sunday GX series, and if you want a ecchi vampire yuri-tinged action series, this is certainly one of them.

Also from Ghost Ship: SUPER HXEROS 6.

From J-Novel Club, we see Altina the Sword Princess 13, Chillin’ in Another World with Level 2 Super Cheat Powers 4, Cooking with Wild Game 16, the 2nd manga volume of Full Clearing Another World under a Goddess with Zero Believers, Guide to the Perfect Otaku Girlfriend: Roomies and Romance 5 (the final volume), and Reincarnated as the Piggy Duke: This Time I’m Gonna Tell Her How I Feel! 5.

ASH: That’s a fair bit.

SEAN: Kodansha has a double dose of Attack on Titan in print next week, with Omnibus 4-6 and Omnibus 7-9. There’s also Blue Period 6, Fire Force 26, I’m Standing on a Million Lives 12, and Living-Room Matsunaga-san 10.

Two digital debuts. Getting Closer to You (Natsume-senpai ni Semarareru Hibi) is a new shoujo series from the creator of Four Kisses, in Secret, and it runs in Dessert Blue, the spinoff of Dessert for Miles Davis fans. A girl who loves muscles thinks she’s found her ideal man… but he’s going to make her manage the basketball team first.

MICHELLE: I think this is their second series about a girl who loves muscles!

ANNA: Some girls do love muscles.

SEAN: Also shoujo, from Betsufure, is I’ll Be with Them Again Today (Kyou mo, Karera no Otonari de), about a girl, Nao, whose next-door neighbors are now two brothers – one hot and friendly, the other unapproachable and scary. And now they’re going to school with her too! Nao-chan pinch!

Also digital: Back When You Called Us Devils 11 (the final volume), DAYS 28, Harem Marriage 15, ONIMAI: I’m Now Your Sister! 5, and That’s My Atypical Girl 4.

KUMA books has a debut, The Song of Yoru & Asa (Yoru to Asa no Uta). This oneshot BL title ran in Takeshobo’s Qpa, and features a band whose vocalist seems to be, well, a bit of a jerk. If you like your BL dark, this may be for you.

MICHELLE: Depends on how dark, but maybe!

ASH: I honestly never thought we would see Harada’s work licensed in English (at least in print). It can be pretty dark, but I’ve been hoping for something to be released for years.

ANNA: Interesting.

MELINDA: Oh, hmmmm… this is a strong maybe for me.

SEAN: Seven Seas has the 5th and final Blue Giant omnibus (maybe that’s why I made the Miles Davis joke earlier), The Country Without Humans 2, Magical Girl Spec-Ops Asuka 13, and MARS RED 2.

MICHELLE: One of these days I’ll actually read Blue Giant.

ASH: I need to catch up, but have largely enjoyed it so far!

ANNA: Me too, I have the first volume somewhere in my house.

SEAN: Square Enix gives us a 7th volume of The Strongest Sage with the Weakest Crest.

Tentai Books once again flummoxed me with a last minute scheduling. Already released digitally as you read this is the light novel I Kissed My Girlfriend’s Little Sister (Kanojo no Imouto to Kiss wo shita). Just your typical guy dating a girl and then the girl’s identical twin who was living with the other parent moves in story.

Tokyopop’s debut is Dekoboko Bittersweet Days, the sequel to Dekoboko Sugar Days. It sounds less sweet, and it ran in Gentosha’s LOVE xxx BOYS Pixiv. It’s also complete in one volume.

MICHELLE: I enjoyed This Wonderful Season with You by the same mangaka, so I’m looking forward to this one.

ANNA: Tokyopop is still not going to trick me.

MELINDA: Same. I realize it’s a one-shot, but even so…

SEAN: Tokyopop also has the 2nd volume of Double.

Yen On has some new light novels. We get Durarara!! SH 3, Strike the Blood 20, Wolf & Parchment: New Theory Spice & Wolf 6, and The World’s Strongest Rearguard: Labyrinth Country’s Novice Seeker 6.

Lastly, there’s a pile from Yen Press, including four debuts. Bungo Stray Dogs: Wan! is a Young Ace Up title that is essentially Ten Little Bungo Stray Dogs. (Scramble Wars Stray Dogs?) Anyway, they’re chibis.

ASH: Goodness!

SEAN: Catch These Hands! (Watashi no Kobushi wo Uketomete!) is a yuri title from Young Ace Up. A former delinquent trying to straighten up now that she’s an adult runs into her old rival… who wants a fight! And if the rival wins… a date!

ASH: Okay, I’m intrigued.

ANNA: It sounds cute.

MELINDA: Oh, it really does!

SEAN: Minami Nanami Wants to Shine (Nanami Minami wa Kagayakitai) is a spinoff of light novel Bottom Tier Character Tomozaki focusing on our favorite runner-up. It runs in Sunday GX.

Run on Your New Legs (Atarashii Ashi de Kakenukero) is a Big Comic Spirits title about a soccer player whose career ends with the loss of his leg. But with a new prosthetic leg, can he become a paralympics track star?

MICHELLE: REAL but soccer!

ASH: Oooooh!

ANNA: Cool. Will be checking this out for sure.

SEAN: There’s also Breasts Are My Favorite Things in the World! 5, The Eminence in Shadow 3, I’m a Behemoth, an S-Ranked Monster, but Mistaken for a Cat, I Live as an Elf Girl’s Pet 4, Interspecies Reviewers Comic Anthology 2, Lust Geass 5, Mint Chocolate 5, Monster Wrestling: Interspecies Combat Girls 4 (the final volume), Smokin’ Parade 9, The Splendid Work of a Monster Maid 2, Sword Art Online: Project Alicization 4, Woof Woof Story: I Told You to Turn Me Into a Pampered Pooch, Not Fenrir! 3, The World’s Finest Assassin Gets Reincarnated in Another World as an Aristocrat 2.

ASH: That’s a fair bit, too.

SEAN: That last part exhausted me to type out. What about you?

Red Ink | Meizen | Trial 1.1 | re: alibi time

A new pencil in hand, she leans on her podium as she takes notes in her notebook as each person speaks up to what they’ve learned. For a moment, she spares at glance to look up at a certain someone across from her. A brief moment of sympathy crosses her before she turns back to the book, grip on the pencil tightening. Were it not for the laws of this time limit…

“I was in the room earl- no, some hours ago. Just wanted to be useful and get a nice layout of the place so we didn’t end up makin’ a bunch of big dishes but run outta space. Got really busy cooking that I didn’t realize I lost my pencil somewhere, so I just retraced my steps. Otonari-san and Pham-san were present by the time I arrived.”

She crosses her arms now, giving a stern look over the rest of the class.

“I don’t think its Pham. Like, sure, I didn’t get to see what happened before cause I was crawling ‘round to look for my pencil, but those two seemed fine when I arrived? I just… heard these weird sounds coming all of a sudden? Sounded really squishy.. Then next thing I know, I hear the chandelier fall and its all dark and I finally crawl out to see Otonari just dead -”

“Look, some of you guys are clearly better myth busters than I am. Does a tanuki …make squishy, squelching sounds when they transform or is there something else that we’re dealing with?”

Monthly Listening: November 2017

My attempt to use this month as some last-minute catch-up period of whatever I missed earlier on the year has gone... Not all that well. Instead I’m playing catch up with new releases, especially from the J-pop and K-pop sphere of music. November has surprisingly been an impressive time for new albums! That said, it looks as though I’ve been amazed more by albums not from this year.

「Suncatcher®」商標登録しました！セラピストになって11年、講座を開発してから7年。沢山の人に応援も心配もしていただき、Colour Lotusで商標とったほうがいいんじゃない？「Dewサンキャッチャー・カラーセラピー」など講座名で取ったほうがいいんじゃない？などアドバイスいただいていましたが、昨年からやはり「とるならこれしかない！！」という思いで申請し、6月にとうとう取得することができました。申請にはcotobox社長の五味和泰 (Kazuyasu Gomi)さんにお力をお借りしました。お世話になりありがとうございます。五味さんには、以前ラジオにもご出演いただき、商標に関するお話しなども伺っております。良かったらお聴きください。https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LKXg6etaFZM インテリアとして世間に多く広まっている「サンキャッチャー」ですが、2017年6月に商標を取得することが出来ました。インテリアのサンキャッチャーという認識が広く一般的に広まっているため、一度却下されましたし、初めから取得するのが難しいと考えられていましたが、cotobox株式会社社長の五味和泰 (Kazuyasu Gomi)に色々相談に乗っていただき、申請を繰り返した結果、半年ほどかけてやっと取得することが出来ました。インテリアのサンキャッチャーは、とても素敵。だけど、元々持ち歩くために作られていないものが殆どなので、家に置きっぱなしになっていると思います。私は「光を反射することで邪気払いにもなるのですから、持ち歩けたらいいのではないか？」と考えるようになりました。そしてサンキャッチャーを「ジュエリー」として身に着けることで、自分自身の内面にある光を輝かせてくれることに気づき、装飾品としてのサンキャッチャーを提案すべく特許庁に申請したのです。そしてこの度、念願叶って身に着ける装飾品としての分野全てにおいて、商標を取得することができました。これにより、サンキャッチャー・ジュエリーを制作している私の生徒さんも、安心してご活動いただくことができます。今年からスタートした30day Jewelry Color Programという講座も、既に1期生が30名ほど誕生しており、活躍しています。全国でサンキャッチャー・ジュエリーを身に着け沢山の方の心が美しい光を放ちますように。＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿ Colour Lotusオリジナルの光のアクセサリーについて「Suncatcher® Jewelry」サンキャッチャー・ジュエリーは、光輝くクリスタルガラスをジュエリーとして身に着けることで、邪気を払い、内面の輝きを引き出す、そんなインスピレーションを受け取り、生み出されました。ガラスは一見「人工物」という見え方がすると思いますが、ガラスの成分は土から、光りを放つために必要な亜鉛は植物から採れるのです。そして加工するための息吹は人が注ぐスピリット。だから、サンキャッチャー・ジュエリーは身に着けるその人を光り輝かせることが出来るのです。ぜひ多くの人に手に取っていただき今よりもっと輝いてほしい。それがColour Lotusの願いです。 Colour Lotusホームページ Colour-lotus.jimdo.com ＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿「展示会のお知らせ」商標登録を記念して各地で展示会を開催します。ぜひお越しください。・開催中～9/15まで（平日15時まで・土日休み）蒲田　蓮沼キッチンさん『蓮の花展』ロータスにちなんだサンキャッチャーを展示中 http://hasunuma-kitchen.com/ ・8/10-11　2日間（20時頃まで）原宿・表参道からすぐcoconaniさんにて Suncatcher®Jewelry＆Interior作品展示 http://coconani.space/access/ ・9/6-20　heal energy～浄化と癒し、光のメッセージ～元町・中華街駅米ぬか酵素ホリスティックサロンｰほのかｰさんにて「浄化」「再生」「優しさ」「未来（光）」など、ほのからしいメッセージを新作のサンキャッチャーに込めます。 9/7、9/14の2日間はサロンにいます。カラーセラピーをワンコインで体験できますよ♪ https://www.enzyme-spa.com/ ・11/9-11　熊本応援企画 otonariさんにて　サンキャッチャー展示会＆WS 3日目の11日は、サンキャッチャーづくりを体験できるWSを開催します。熊本の生徒様と一緒に作品を展示予定です。 https://www.facebook.com/otonari2013/ ・11/26-12/17（平日15時まで・土日休み）蒲田　蓮沼キッチンさん　サンキャッチャー展示11/26にはオープニングパーティを開催予定です。 http://hasunuma-kitchen.com/ ・12/17　癒しイベントKAKEHASHI 原宿・北参道からすぐ　So-spaceにて作品展示会も同時に開催する癒しイベント。

The Angel Next Door Spoils Me Rotten and Actual Nice Guys

Otonari no Tenshi-sama ni Itsunomanika Dame Ningen ni Sareteita Ken (The Angel Next Door Spoils Me Rotten, henceforth "Angel Next Door") is the latest entry in the Impossibly Perfect Girlfriend microgenre (see Shikimori's Not Just a Cutie for another of the type). Mahiru Shiina, the titular Angel, is unapproachably beautiful, outwardly flawless, universally popular and very, very alone. The formula says male protagonist Amane Fujimiya is a nice guy who will, by virtue of being nice, turn this alone girl into a not alone girl because she is with him.

So, let's get to that. When Amane finds Mahiru sitting out in the rain with tears in her eyes, he pulls his first nice guy move, the most basic - he loans her his umbrella. This results in him being exposed to the extremely hazardous Japanese rain, which as expected gives him a cold. They turn out to be neighbors, so she takes care of him, and finds out he lives and eats like a slob. Her concern for his health leads to her sharing her leftovers with him and demanding to be allowed to clean his apartment.

From here they develop a relationship where Mahiru cooks for them both (using his equipment and sharing food costs) and generally helps him keep his space in order. He in turn is... very appreciative. It's not exactly an even trade, as Amane is well aware, but Mahiru increasingly insists that he does more for her than he knows. All along they are both very clear that this is a platonic relationship. Literally every other character looks at this and finds it baffling, and for good reason. Before the halfway point of the series Amane and Mahiru are doing things like pushing each other's bangs aside and getting lost in each other's eyes.

"Nice Guys"

It is common for the protagonist of romcom and romcom-adjacent anime to be a misunderstood or under-appreciated nice guy. It's unfortunately almost as common for him to be a "nice guy" but actually a huge asshole to everyone around him, especially prospective love interests. Sometimes he will have some informed core or offscreen history of not being an asshole. At best he will be superficially nice, handing out thoughtless compliments or sharing lunchboxes in a way that inspires more jealousy that appreciation.

In lesser shows, this serves to justify why he has an increasingly inflated harem of extremely thirsty busty bombshells. In better examples of the type he really does have those rough edges sanded down, or even experiences backlash for his behavior and learns a thing or two. Nonetheless, they give the impression that it's ok to be unknowingly cruel to others as long as you get better before Christmas, and doing that will get you a girlfriend before the end of the school year. I'm willing to forgive these sometimes (my Saekano review is exhibit A) but there is a fundamental wrongness to that premise.

A Different Setup

Amane is not unpopular for any particular reason, but rather because he doesn't stand out and doesn't have any ambition to do so. His big flaw is his lifestyle. He lives alone in what can only be described as squalor. He exclusively eats convenience store or fast food. He leaves his apartment full of scattered laundry, stacked up trash and recyclables, and generally just doesn't keep the place clean.

It's not quite clear why Amane lives this way. He has a very supportive family, who care about him and wish him only the best. At first we can only infer a certain lack of self-regard. We do eventually get some measure of explanation for why he lives apart from his loving family, and the show allows us to make the connection to his emotional state on our own. In any case, I appreciate the combination of having an actual reason for the main guy to Be Like That and not just spelling it out up front.

Relationship Goals?

The romcom formula demands a Bro character who knows the main guy isn't just a sadsack no one should talk to. Itsuki Akazawa fills the slot, with a twist - unlike the vast majority of his ilk, he's in a long-term relationship of his own, fully predating the events of the show and not subsidiary to it. He and his girlfriend, Chitose Shirakawa, are very publicly together, not so much as to be all PDA all the time but still very much in couple mode. Their relationship serves as a sort of foil to Amane and Mahiru's.

When it comes to Chitose and Itsuki, everything is open book. They're together loud and proud, they compliment and tease each other and so on. By contrast, Amane and Mahiru keep everything under wraps. They continue to not interact at school, since any hint of closeness would subject them to considerable unwanted attention. In private, Amane is vocally grateful, but he stomps non-platonic feelings down as flat as he can. Likewise, Mahiru is increasingly open about her respect for Amane, but she always avoids giving specifics about why. This doubly self imposed restraint is the central pillar of the show, and it ties into what makes Amane special.

Actual Nice Guys

Amane has all the standard issue nice guy features, but he has unusual ones that I want to highlight. In everything he does, he seeks to understand what the other person actually wants. Giving someone an umbrella is easy - who likes getting rained on? What's not easy is having someone reject your compliments and respond by learning what kind of compliments they actually want. It's vanishingly rare in real life for someone to genuinely appreciate someone's hard work over their inherent skill, let alone in fiction. Amane even goes so far as to stand up for Mahiru when others make the same mistakes he did. Don't call her "Angel". Don't treat her like an inherently perfect artifact. Approach her as a person, with her own needs and desires.

He is also deeply respectful of Mahiru's boundaries. She doesn't want anyone to know that they have any connection to each other, and he agrees absolutely. This is something he does with active effort, not just passive compliance. When he is carrying her home with an injury, he first makes sure to bring her clothes to disguise herself. She is also explicitly disinterested in any sort of romantic relationship. When he does start to recognize budding feelings for her, he suppresses them from developing further because accepting them would just lead to temptation to go places where she isn't planning to go. Obviously what they each want changes as the show goes on, but this starting position really establishes that Amane is not simply planning to take maximum advantage of the charity of others.

The thing that makes Amane special is he understands that kindness is not unilateral. It's not "I will help you, even though this will also inconvenience you in some way". This even extends to how he gives compliments. He approaches from the perspective of how to fit into the other person's life, with full regard for their boundaries. He recognizes when people help him and openly expresses his appreciation. There are entire shows about learning those lessons (looking at you Oregairu). When it comes to defining what an actual nice person looks like, I can't think of much else that does it better, regardless of medium.

Conclusion

Score: 8/10. Angel Next Door is well constructed, evenly paced, and funny when it wants to be. More importantly, it provides actionable examples of how to be good to other people. While this is not exactly a "something to say" anime, I appreciate the position it takes on what actual as opposed to performative kindness looks like.

Recommendation: Impossibly Perfect Girlfriend shows have a very specific target audience. If you're not into the fantasy of being a high school guy who lucks into a relationship (however irregular) with a girl who is just super into doing everything to make you happy, you know that and this is not for you. After all, it still makes that last imperfect assumption that being a nice guy is sufficient to have a magical girlfriend fall into your lap. If you are into that or at least don't mind it, do give this show a shot. If nothing else, it's a good comfy time.

Comparisons

Amane and Mahiru's relationship in Angel Next Door shares some notable features of the central relationship in Toradora! In that case, it's the male protagonist Ryuuji who takes care of female protagonist Taiga, in all the same ways - cooking, cleaning, medical care, and emotional support in the face of family problems. This along with Ryuuji's gentle nature and care for his mother are what establish the nice guy part of his misunderstood nice guy characterization. It also has the advantage of mitigating the stereotypical gender roles problem Angel Next Door can't avoid. In another difference, Toradora! has a better-justified "how do they not see it" in their respective crushes on other characters, which only fully fall apart in the third act and clear the way for them to see their true feelings clearly. In Angel Next Door, Amane's active efforts to reject his feelings out of respect for Mahiru's boundaries end up reinforcing his nice guy status, at the cost of making the lack of progress less plausible. Toradora! works better overall, but I appreciate a show with such similarities carving out space of its own.

Working!! also makes use of relationships as foils rather than just characters. It goes all in with three foil pairs. The big difference between it and Angel Next Door is what sorts of foils Working!! uses. In each case, the relationships are mostly similar with the highlights on the small differences. The foil relationships in Angel Next Door are very different, with the focus being on the small similarities. No better/worse here, I just found the two ways of approaching the same technique to be interesting.

Saekano is one of the shows that starts with the guy being shitty to people and needing to learn to treat people the way they want to be treated. This makes his development more dramatic, but whether you consider it more satisfying is up to whether you can connect to him from the beginning. Personally I find the additional theme of artistic fulfillment makes Saekano a more well-rounded show, despite the "why does anyone like him (at first)" factor. Nonetheless, I acknowledge that even to the end, Tomoya could learn a thing or two from Amane.

Final Thoughts

Angel Next Door got to me in a very personal way. I have had very similar habits to Amane's lifestyle at the beginning of the show, so I found him more relatable than I might have otherwise. Separately I had a relationship that started similarly to the one in the show. We were sharing food and taking care of each other emotionally and medically before ever dating. Even our respective family circumstances had certain superficial similarities to those in the show. Alas, things ended poorly. Watching Angel Next Door, I couldn't help but think about what might have been, and what things were like when they were good.

Spring 2023 Anime Wrapup

Original Post:

This sure was a season. I finished 14 full-length series, plus some OVAs and carryovers. Undisputed show of the season Oshi no Ko and underrated hit Dead Mount Death Play lead the pack, but there's a range of other content between hate-watchable and actually good as well.

New Stuff:

Oshi no Ko (My Star) - Holy shit. I don't want to say much to avoid spoilers, but it was a 10/10 candidate from episode one and still might end up there on rewatch. For now 9/10, you MUST watch this. There will be a post forthcoming when I process it for a while.

Isekai de Cheat Skill wo Te ni Shita Ore wa, Genjitsu Sekai wo mo Musou Suru: Level Up wa Jinsei wo Kaeta (I Got a Cheat Skill in Another World and Became Unrivaled in The Real World, Too) - They put the entire power fantasy in the title for your convenience. It's not a great message that all you need to do to become popular is inherit a bunch of money and literally magically change your entire body, but here we are. The power fantasy is truly stratospheric - for example, he accidentally seduces a model and is proposed to by a princess in the space of one episode. The "animation" (or lack thereof) doesn't give the at best mediocre plot the support it needs, alas. A very generous 6/10.

Jigokuraku (Hell's Paradise) - Samurai Suicide Squad with a hearty helping of EDGE and a surprising amount of heart. The action was good, even though it sometimes felt like they ran out of time to make things truly excellent. 8/10.

Kanojo ga Koushaku-tei ni Itta Riyuu (The Reason Why Raeliana Ended up at the Duke's Mansion) - Another villainess anime, this time with the twist being that she becomes a villainess on purpose in order to save her own life. Most of the time the plot foreknowledge twist was used to undermine typical shoujo tropes rather than heighten them. Between that and the nothing ending, I found it oddly muted. 7/10.

Kimi wa Houkago Insomnia (Insomniacs After School) - I didn't finish this yet, because I don't think I'm ready for the emotional punches it's setting up. Not dropped, just not done.

Skip to Loafer (Skip and Loafer) - A country-girl-in-the-big-city shoujo story, in which our protagonist good-natures her way through a whole stable of stock high school antagonists. I like that given only twelve episodes to work with they didn't speedrun to parts where relationships happen, and instead let the story take its time. This is the first time since Hyouka I've really liked something with this sort of sedate pace. Looking forward to more! 8/10.

Tengoku Daimakyou (Heavenly Delusion) - A trip through the post-apocalypse featuring spooky monsters, bioethics failures, and a mix of hope and despair at how people face life after the end. Worth a watch, but be aware there's some extreme content. 8/10

Yamada-kun to Lv999 no Koi wo Suru (Loving Yamada at Lv999) - Shoujo for gamers! Unlike Raeliana above this shoujo with a twist did it for me. For personal reasons I appreciated the respect paid to online relationships. Convincing characters and relationships plus distinct and consistent art make this a very honorable 8/10.

Otonari ni Ginga (A Galaxy Next Door) - A guy touches an alien princess funny and they're married now. Yes, another one. This time, she's his manga assistant. Very light and fluffy, despite the subtheme of family alienation. 7/10, though at the high end for myself.

Dead Mount Death Play - Reverse Isekai! With a name like that you'd expect some serious edge, and there is some. Surprisingly though the themes are very wholesome. This was the biggest surprise of the season. I didn't watch it in the first round of shows, but when I looked at it out of curiosity it blew me away. 9/10, you should really watch this.

Tonikaku Kawaii - This is a sequel, but I hadn't watched the previous season, so it's new to me. I added it later in the season mostly out of curiosity. It turned out to be another entry in the impossibly perfect significant other microgenre, like The Angel Next Door Spoils Me Rotten. As with Angel Next Door, the point is that you should be an actual good person. This time it's about the rewards of getting married as soon as possible, and here are step-by-step instructions. There's a subtle-but-not-subtle supernatural undercurrent that becomes increasingly obvious in season 2, as well. 7/10.

Sequels:

Birdie Wing: Golf Girls' Story Season 2 - What can you say about a show that introduces multiple dangerous forbidden techniques in the middle of a tournament arc... of golf? Anyway here's lesbians doing more wacky special moves. If you're into weird sports anime you're sure to be into this. 8/10.

Dr. Stone: New World - There was a lot more yadda yadda this time, so it fell a bit flat. The less they show Senku's work coming up with things the more they feel like instant win buttons instead of things they worked for. I had hoped the cast size constraint in the second half of the season would have let them go back to spending time on inventions, but alas no. 7/10.

Kimetsu no Yaiba: Katanakaji no Sato-hen (Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Swordsmith Village Arc) - Yep, it was more Demon Slayer. I'm pleased that Demon Slayer has mostly maintained its quality, in contrast with My Hero Academia which fell off a bit in the middle there. 8/10.

Kidou Senshi Gundam: Suisei no Majo Season 2 (Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury Season 2) - The robots (and lesbians) are cool, but I don't see how it's possible to miss the "war (and unfettered capitalism) is bad" message. It's also a new take on Revolutionary Girl Utena, which I've been meaning to re-watch and write about for some time. No excuse now, I suppose. 8/10.

Uma Musume: Pretty Derby - Road to the Top - I forgot to put this on the first list because it's a four episode ONA that hadn't started airing yet. As one of the weird sports anime I actually enjoy, of course I was up for even just a small arc of it. 8/10.

Carryovers:

Kubo-san wa Mob wo Yurusanai (Kubo Won't Let Me Be Invisible) - Finally a bulli anime I can enjoy, thanks to it not actually being bulli for very long. In the end this was a sort of nothing-in-particular show, falling somewhere in the fuzzy area around impossibly perfect SO and teasing anime. As expected it's almost all frosting and no cake, but I did enjoy my time with it. 7/10.

Itai no wa Iya nano de Bougyoryoku ni Kyokufuri Shitai to Omoimasu. 2 (BOFURI: I Don't Want to Get Hurt, so I'll Max Out My Defense. Season 2) - This fell off a bit, and I think I know why. It suffered from the same thing as later Dog Days seasons, where it used its expansive cast by shuffling who hangs out with who. This provides less novelty than the original concept of "what will they get up to now" did, and it also necessarily slows things to a crawl as we need to see more perspectives on every event as a result. Still, the characters remain fun and the game is as busted as ever. 7/10.

Dropped:

Kaminaki Sekai no Kamisama Katsudou - Garbage. A fetish fest with godawful CGI. Rancid vibes. You'll never know where it's going. You may have trouble looking away. I did eventually, though. Dropped at episode 10. 6/10.

Isekai One Turn Kill Neesan: Ane Douhan no Isekai Seikatsu Hajimemashita (My One-Hit Kill Sister) - Lots of Rule D edging. The quality isn't the most consistent, the tropes are basic, and little of value is to be found here. When it's good, it's actually kinda good. Unfortunately it got boring. Dropped at episode 10. 6/10.

Edomae Elf (Otaku Elf) - Elf in real world! Wooo! A nice comfy show. Not much happens, but it's cute enough. Got boring in the end though. Dropped at episode 10. 7/10.

My Home Hero - It's hard to think of anything recently that used tension and suspense to this degree. That said, the every-episode cliffhangers eventually got exhausting and turned me off and I stopped keeping up. 7/10 not for me.
