Tried to put off posting on my laggy tab but alas when you can't open your phone after the power button AND the volume button broke, it gets to a point😞

The Red Ranger Becomes an Adventurer in Another World (Crunchyroll)

And that’s it! A lot of great shows this season!

Will’s Anime Watchlist for Fall 2024

Holy smokes, there’s a lot of great stuff coming out this season. Here’s my intial watchlist.

New shows for the season:

Uzumaki (Toonami/Max) (Been waiting on this one for a LONG time. About three or four years I think? First episode was pretty good. Excited to see the rest.)

DanDaDan (Crunchyroll/Hulu/Netflix) (Most anticipated show of the season. I saw the first three episodes in theaters. They were incredible. Anime of the year contender.)

Blue Box (Netflix) (Another highly anticipated show. Also potential anime of the year contender. It or DanDaDan could take best romance.)

Magilumiere (Amazon Prime Video) (I really like the source material but I’m a little worried the anime won’t be as good seeing as their hasn’t been a lot of ads for it, much like what happened with Red Cat Ramen/Ramen Akaneko. Will still watch it.)

Okay, now for returning series. There are a lot.

Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War Part 3: The Conflict (Hulu) (LET’S FUCKING GOOOOOO!!! Very excited because a) we’re about to see my favorite Bankai (Kyoraku’s) and b) the talks about additional scenes like an extension of Ichigo’s second fight with Yhwach as well new Ichihime and Renruki scenes has me pumped.)

Blue Lock Season 2 (Crunchyroll) (Hyped for this to come back. I’ve heard the next couple of arcs are pretty great. Still need to see Episode: Nagi.)

Shangri-La Frontier Season 2 (Crunchyroll) (I always love when there’s a video game anime that is just about people playing video games and there’s no life threating stakes. Might need to start the manga for this one.)

Ron Kamonohashi’s Forbidded Deductions Season 2 (Crunchyroll) (Started reading the manga for this one partway into season one last year and am now caught up. Excited to see the anime’s take on the next couple of arcs.)

Beastars: Final Season Part 1 (Netflix) (It sucks that we’re getting this in parts and this part won’t be out till Christmas. But I’ll still enjoy it.)

Shows I might check out:

Toilet Bound Hanako-kun Season 2 (Crunchyroll) (Saw the first season when it came out and enjoyed it. I know a spin-off came out sonce then but I need to see if it’s required watching. May need to rewatch season one because I barely remember it.)

Dragon Ball Daima (Crunchyroll) (I’m not the biggest Dragon Ball fan but I do love the vibes of the OG series and this has a lot of those. Plus, Akira Toriyama was heavily involved before his untimely passing. May he rest in peace. Might also check out Sandland on Hulu.)

Dubs I’m rewatching: currently making my way through Undead Unluck. After that, either Frieren or Mashle.

Anyway, that’s it for my list! I’ll add more if I find any other shows that intrigue me. 😁

causally gets into a new anime

Sunday Anime Line Up!

Man, catching up on posts is hard but i did it! I honestly don't know who is actually reading these or waiting for them, but I like to think they are helpful for some one to discover an anime to check out.😅

Sentai Red Isekai de Boukensha ni Naru

We got an actual full Kizuna Five episode like with the opening and everything! It made me so nostalgic for my OG Power Rangers! Also the fact that Bond Killer didn't give up until the 13th time was priceless!😂

Kisaki Kyouiku kara Nigetai Watashi

This felt like a filler ep for some reason that I could put my finger on. Not like there is some deep plot or arc to this series but yeah...🤔

Shangri-La Frontier 2nd season

Even during a real life meeting Sunraku still didn't show his face!🤣

Jibaku Shounen Hanako-kun 2

This episode was emotionally painful but I think that both Nene and Kou are on the same page and ready to go back to the real world and do what's best for Hanako and Mitsuba-kun but I will be sad to see them go back to being passed on.😣

Sunday Anime Line Up!

New Week and new ideas to move forward. Not gonna say much here cause this is about the anime first and foremost, but I'll have a few midnight rambles tonight for sure! Well as long as a remember to post and not fall down the YT rabbit hole.😅

Sentai Red Isekai de Boukensha ni Naru

Oh man Yu Gi Oh got a power rangers form too? Yes! The collab we never knew we needed!😂

Kisaki Kyouiku kara Nigetai Watashi

This ep was a roller coaster for me no cap. I was pissed when I realized what happened first ep was all a set up by Clarke-sama but now it might be all on the brother pulling the strings? Still by the end of the ep it seems like Clarke-sama might have figured out that you can't force a relationship even if it is arranged. That fact that the ep ended with him saying if Leticia wants to gave me a lot more hope and this is why i did not drop this one even when it was irking me.😉

Shangri-La Frontier 2nd season

All together again...almost but what is Reishi doing? 🤔

Jibaku Shounen Hanako-kun 2

what did I say? The ep was too light hearted last week and this week the hammer came down hard! The funny thing is I asked my daughter if her dad, who passed away when she was 10 of epilepsy, was the focal point of the fictional world like Hanako-kun was could she do what she needed to do to get back to the real world and she didn't bat an eyelid before she said..."Absolutely cause I know that isn't my real dad simply cause he would be healthy and able to achieve all his dreams. I can't decide if that was too cold or not.😣

Sunday Anime Line Up!

Finally feeling better after the pain I caused to myself since before the weekend. It is cold and raining like crazy outside after it snowed like 3 in. yesterday so it was the perfect time to catch up on all my missing anime from the last few days.😁

Now since i had to catch up on three days worth I won't try and catch up on my posts by putting up double the amount so later on this week I'm just going to mention this weeks and last weeks ep to make it easier.🧐

Sentai Red Isekai de Boukensha ni Naru

So the last 2 ep we have fully met the person that took over the Magical Scepter and honestly i don't like her at all. Like I do understand Togashi and how they should try and work together but man it would be like pulling teeth for me personally.😖 Now to a more important part, the emergency gem stone. Why would you make it happen with just your name? That moment was just so perfect!😂

Kisaki Kyouiku kara Nigetai Watashi

Okay so this is weeks ep was kinds of cute. I was worried that the Prince was pullin' shenanigans but it turned out to be something completely different and also W for the Queen for the map! Take that Prince Pain in the Ass.😉

Shangri-La Frontier 2nd season

I am loving this Pirate High Seas Arc for sure! Like i thought it was over after we sort of beat the Lycagon but nah gettin' right back into it and man the fish people, the mermaids, the kraken! Give me more!😈

Jibaku Shounen Hanako-kun 2

Okay last episode was too light hearted so i knew something was gonna happen and for sure it did, but I was so on the fence cause the idea of both apparitions being alive just made he tear up so much. I want it to be so true, but I know it isn't possible. 😣

Sunday Anime Line Up!

Sunday I am usually exhausted from working the weekend so I am glad that these anime don't take much brain work to enjoy.🤭

Sentai Red Isekai de Boukensha ni Naru

Every episode of this anime makes me so happy that I decided to give it a try. My stomach hurts from laughing so hard at the antics of Togashi as he sincerely believes in everything that is spews about bonds and relationships.😂

Kisaki Kyouiku kara Nigetai Watashi

I don't know why I keep watching this one. I mean seriously I don't. I think its going to get better but then it doesn't.🙄

Shangri-La Frontier 2nd season

I love that friend's of Sunraku from other games are coming over to Shangri La Frontier and being shocked at hoe his character looks. Oh and I love the fact that he still can't wear armor...well not longer than 6 to 9 seconds. Nice Lycogon.😈

Jibaku Shounen Hanako-kun 2

I'm kind of scared cause this was clearly a filler ep which means something serious is going to be happening for sure with Nene impending situation. 😣
