    this season is awesome and as far as consistency goes it's better than the previous one

    I know we had stuff like aot and jjk but this szn got more gems

    tokyo revengers is my fav so far

    and to anyone wondering about shaman king's pacing...it's necessary to get through some world-building/characters introduced early for it to develop later on

    They explain how it’s a sport in the anime

    The anime is structured like a sports / slice of life anime where the arcs revolve around karuta competitions, training for them and the relationships between the group members

    I love the characters in this, the karuta matches are surprisingly intense and get you invested, and every thing is nice from art to animation to music

    this sounds like a less depressing 3-gatsu no Lion, might actually peep it

    oh yeah if we talking similarities, Ran is basically Killua lmfao. and you right tbh, and Kurapika def the best protag in that show

    there's a reoccuring theory online that killua is supposed to be the next hxh character to die

    not that we'll ever find out

    i feel like this season just has much more potential than last season. lmao last season i could’ve told you which shows were gunna be worth watching before they even aired

    this season seemingly has lowkey and sleeper hits all over though, guess we’ll have to wait and see how many shows stay consistent to the end

    ya know i can see that. it would be a good move imo and surprising enough since they built his character up to be so strong.

    I wanna wait tbh until this seasons over because during the first few weeks I also thought last season was an all timer because I was so high on shows like HoriMiya, WEP, Re Zero S2P2 before I soured in varying degrees on all of them near the end. Still thought Mushoku Tensei, AOT, and JJK were all great and that AOT season is an all timer but yeah last season, while definitely one of the best in a while, wasn't the home run "best season in years" that I thought it was at the start

    so right now this season is looking crazy, but I can see myself souring on some of these shows as it goes on.

    I think what made all of us think it'd be an all timer was AOT's ''final'' season

    If we had 20+ episodes of aot and the last episode of wep and not have to put up with re zero's decline in quality last season would be awesome

    horimiya, JJK, WEP were all 10/10s so I'm happy things turned out the way they did

    yeah i mostly agree with this though I soured really hard on HoriMiya with how much it just rushed through the manga. Just made me get less and less interested in the characters as it went on. Felt like I didn't know any of them tbh.

    WEP is p good but yeah I also started to not feel so sure about the direction its going in. I will have to see that final movie to really decide how I feel about it as a show. The ending just kinda felt muddled tbh.

    I know @LOVE said this before but just 40 pages of text from togashi on how hxh ends will be enough to satisfy me at this point

    cause think about it if you have the storyline any outsider can come in and draw based on that

    the anime is p damn sus at times with how its framing and tryna give us fan service over a teenage girl

    but the story so far has felt p sincere and presented the MC as someone who definitely isnt predatory (unlike that other anime this season about a grown man tryna hit on a teenager)

    unfortunately japan doesnt get the same treatment with entertainment holywood does

    we gotta give these guys a break and hand it to em when they do stuff beyond their capabilities

    I honestly think the only reason Shaman King's pacing bothers me is because I watched the original and they spent more time on the exposition, but at the same time I guess since it's a reboot they don't wanna spend so much remaking the beginning from the 2000s adaptation

    I watched the original too when I was younger on TV

    character introductions were like 3-4 eps each but the ending was a clusterfuck and I think that's what this reboot is trying to avoid

    This season is absolutely stacked so far. Of course, some shows will probably fall off, but the field is OVERALL stronger than last season IMO.

    Last season had some standouts, like AOT, WEP, RE:ZERO, ect but this season is solid mostly all around.

    Thought it had a pretty strong start and then it started to just feel like a battle anime for a while. And then they started to move it along in the 2nd half with more world building and the story but tbh even that stuff kinda just felt shaky.

    Still liked the show but yeah it kinda loses steam before just feeling like it’s throwing s*** on the wall to see what sticks with its second half

    WEP has been one of my favorites in a while. I’m excited to peep the new special and I’m honestly open to any ending it gives unless it’s just absolutely stupid lol

    Last season was great, I think it's somewhat even, kept 9 shows last season and the quality at the top was phenomenal with Mushoku tensei, jjk, wonder, and re zero I guess

    Only show from this season I feel matches up quality wise is vivy

    Currently got 11 shows in the watch list, but probably dropping 2 of em

    damn man what 9 did you like? i only watched AOT, Dr. Stone, WEP, Reincarnated as a Slime, and Re:Zero, of which i was only a bit disappointed with Dr Stone.

    oh and i’d love to see Beastars s2 if it ever legally releases in the US lmfao
