Important reminder I want to start with: Despite it containing the word "harem" in the title, "pseudo harem/giji harem" is just a 2 person romance. In fact, if you were frightened off the series because of that title, you are probably exactly the audience this is for, because I don't think I have read another romcom that spends less time on anything besides the relationship between the two main characters. If you want a romcom that doesn't get distracted by sidecharacters or alternate love interests, this is exactly for you.

Another anime season and another season where I'm watching too many anime. (Mainly due to all the god damn romcoms! By my count I'm watching 9 of them!) I always tell myself I'm going to watch less anime and every time I'm interested in too many anime and watch too much anime. No gaming for me for the next three month again lol. Anyways, as normal in order of popularity on MAL, these are the anime I'm planning to watch this season:

  1. Oshi no Ko S2 (More Oshi No Ko hype! The first season was amazing so of course I'm going to watch S2!)
  2. Tower of God S2 (I enjoyed S1 a lot fuck Rachel so of course I'm going to watch S2! Apparently we're changing MC's so that'll be interesting. Not the only sequel this season where that's going to happen too.)
  3. Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian (The big romcom airing this season in a season full of them so of course I'm going to watch it! IIRC I read the first couple of chapters of the manga adaptation when it first came out. Not that I remember anything lol.)
  4. Isekai Suicide Squad (Already watched the first 3 episodes of this so I'll just say it's been a lot of fun so far even if the animation can be a bit... weird at times.)
  5. Days with My Stepsister (...What? Apparently this is actually quite good although it's quite a slow burn from what I hear. And I do love stepsister romances of both the SFW and NSFW variety hehe.)
  6. Our Last Crusade S2 (I watched and enjoyed S1 so of course I'm going to watch S2. Even if it was the worst of Silver Link.'s 2020 anime run. Aliceliese is just too much fun!)
  7. My Deer Friend Nokotan (Shikanoko Nokonoko Koshitantan Shikanoko Nokonoko Koshitantan Shikanoko Nokonoko Koshitantan Shikanoko Nokonoko Koshitantan Shikanoko Nokonoko Koshitantan Shikanok-)
  8. Nier:Automata Ver1.1a P2 (I adore the game and P1 was quite a good adaptation so of course I'm going to watch the anime version of the climax of the story! Can't wait to see anime only's reactions too hehe.)
  9. Isekai Shikkaku (...I'll be completely honest the only reason I'm watching this is that I love the catgirls design. Well, that, and because people seemed hyped for this.)
  10. Pseudo Harem (I read the first 26 chapters of this and it's cute as shit so of course I'm going to watch it! It should be a complete one season adaptation too just like with Tomo-Chan.)
  11. Strongest Magician in the Demon Lord's Army Was a Human (Already watched the first episode and while I know some didn't like it I quite enjoyed it! Also, it has a scary girl demon lord which everyone knows is absolutely peak.)
  12. 2.5 Dimensional Seduction (Another anime where I read the start of the source material. A little sad they're toning down the ecchi but all I've heard is that it's very good and sexy cosplay is still sexy cosplay!)
  13. Café Terrace and Its Goddesses S2 (S1 was a lot of fun and of course I'm going to want to see more of best girl Akane!)
  14. Wistoria: Wand and Sword (It's from the author of Danmachi so I'm interested in it. The PV's are what really sold me though. It looks gorgeous.)
  15. Failure Frame (...Okay I'll admit that the only reason I'm watching this is the "Female MMO armor" design of the elf girl. Literally the least you could cover and have it still be considering a full outfit lol. My trash for this season, basically.)
  16. Too Many Losing Heroines! (Apparently the girls in this are... unique on top of a bit of an interesting premise so of course I'm going to watch it! It also looks gorgeous as well. It's A-1 after all.)
  17. Magical Girl and the Evil Lieutenant (Archnemeses falling in love and being cute as shit?! Yes please! The PV's also looked gorgeous as well. Which makes sense considering this is obviously a passion project considering what happened with the source material.)
  18. My Wife Has No Emotion (Already watched the first episode and while the first half of the episode was a bit awkward the second half was great. I also just like the premise as well.)
  19. Love Is Indivisible by Twins (If this doesn't have a Shimaidon ending then the author doesn't understand the assignment. Apparently going to be filled with drama so this'll be my melodramatic romcom for the season.)
  20. The Elusive Samurai (Relatively less known Japanese history with gorgeous animation by Cloverworks? Yes please! The source material is apparently pretty great as well even if no one in the West reads it due to said less known history.)
  21. Bye Bye, Earth (Only human in a world filled with anthropomorphic animal with the MC being a girl with a big sword? yes please!)
  22. Plus-Sized Elf (I'll be completely honest this ain't my fetish in the slightest but it is an ecchi and a comedy so I'll watch it. Probably the anime closest to a drop though if it doesn't jibe with me.)
  23. VTuber Legend (I adore VTuber and this looks like it'll be very unhinged so I'm looking forward to it! My other unhinged comedy for the season alongside Shikanoko Nokonoko Koshitantan Shikanoko Nokonoko Koshitanta- No! Stop it! No more brainrot!)
  24. A Nobody's Way Up to an Exploration Hero (My other potential trash anime for the season. The girl knights design is quite cute too. Apparently not half bad as well? Idk. We'll see!)
  25. Shy S2 (I quite liked S1 and I can't wait to see more of Shy and her lesbian harem friends and comrades. Absolutely zero implication here! Nope!)
  26. Sengoku Youko (I didn't really like this right away but quite enjoyed it by the end of S1. The other anime that's changing MC with it's S2 so that'll be interesting.)
  27. Slime S3 (While it had a very mediocre and boring start to S3 I've quite enjoyed it since we got out of the endless boing meetings in that damn room. Especially considering the directing is much better now. Quite like the Slime Diaries spin-off.)
  28. Spice and Wolf 2024 (I've quite enjoyed watching this for the first time so of course I'm going to continue watching it! Holo is a great waifu and I can see why she's so popular now.)
  29. Mission: Yozakura Family (Another series that I took a bit to warm up to. I'm enjoying it quite a bit now though so of course I'm going to continue watching it!)
  30. Monogatari Series: Off & Monster Season (Mono-fucking-gatari is back baby! I can't wait for this! Easily the thing I'm most hyped for for obvious reasons! It's Monogatari after all!)

Yeah you read that right. 30 anime. ...It was originally going to be 34 but I cut down a bit because that's just too much. If you're curious the ones I cut are: Why Does Nobody Remember Me in This World? (mainly because the PV's didn't look that good. Saving Wistoria from the axe along with that one's PV's making me want to keep it), Quality Assurance in Another World, Dungeon People and Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin. The only one I can see me picking back up is the last one if someone can convince me and it's on an opportune day.

At least an hour lol. I started it not long after the thread went live.

u/BigFishCheeseJul 02 '24

I feel you lmao, I also came into this season thinking I'm definitely not watching as much as I did before but then turns out I'm going to watch 26 anime from the season. I really wish they were spread out better, most are weekend + Thursday for me.

Put some 2/5 isekai on there. I consider 1/5 unwatchable for me.

u/kalirionhttps://myanimelist.net/profile/kalinimeJul 02 '24

Most new isekai I end up dropping, so 1/5 expectation seems right. Sure some might be 2/5, but I don't know which ones those are. 1/5 still the safe bet.

2

u/The_Milky_way-Jul 02 '24

Same haha

1

u/PsyduckisnotaduckJul 02 '24

yo but No Longer Allowed in Another World is going to be good entirely because the protagonist is basically Osamu Dazai. now THAT is a wild gimmick I can appreciate. terminally depressed author having to put up with isekai bullshit when all he wants to do is unalive himself. genius.

1

u/kalirionhttps://myanimelist.net/profile/kalinimeJul 02 '24

Unfortunately, a premise alone is not enough to make something good. Will wait to see the execution (assuming it airs on CR).

1

u/UsernamenottaJul 03 '24

Hmmm, might be interesting. You mean Osamu Dazai the author or Osamu Dazai from Bungou Stray Dogs?

1

u/orangehateJul 03 '24

Seeing "unalive" used in a post that neither appears to be from a bot nor for some tiktok text to speech bs is depressing.

u/new_interest_herehttps://myanimelist.net/profile/The_W3za_ManJul 01 '24

1. Oshi No Ko season 2. It's actually been almost a year since I've watched the first season and I loved the shit out of it, so I'm absolutely excited for it more than anything.

2 & 3. Probably Narenare and Mayonaka Punch. Not only do they just look like fun shows, but they're originals, which I usually don't tend to watch as they air, so that's mostly why I excited.

4. Funnily enough, The Café Terrace And It's Goddesses season 2. I watched season 1 a bit ago because I saw there was season 2 coming out and I figured I should check out the first one to see if its worth anything. And yeah it's standard harem stuff, but it's actually really enjoyable for one and I need to see more.

5. Shikonoko nokonoko koshitantan...

And 6. Plus-Size Elf, because fuck it, I am so down for chubby girl ecchi.

2

u/Contrenhttps://myanimelist.net/profile/NiakJul 02 '24

but they're originals

Not just originals, they're PA Works originals.

3

u/Impossible_Map_4895https://anilist.co/user/SweetsamiJul 01 '24

Not too much I'm excited about but hopefully there will be some pleasant surprises.

Sequels I'll be watching:- Nier Automata S2- Oshi no Ko S2- Sengoku Youko S2- Kimi ni Todoke S3

New shows I'll definitely watch:- Dahlia in Bloom- Senpai is an Otokonoko- Elusive Samurai- Atri

New shows I'll try out:- Dungeon People- Quality Assurance in Another World- Sakuna: Rice and Ruin- How to be Ordinary- No Longer Allowed in Another World- Suicide Squad Isekai- Alya Hides Her Feelings in Russian- My Wife Has No Emotion- Delicos Nursery- Days With My Stepsister

3

u/SRHandlehttps://myanimelist.net/profile/FenrirOdinsBaneJul 01 '24

Look like it will be a decent season.

The one's I'm most looking forward to (other than continuations from this season):

  • Nier
  • Monogatari
  • Oshi no Ko
  • Tower of God
  • Sengoku Youko

There's about a dozen isekia this season, hopefully some of it will be good. Naze Boke had a pretty good manga and I liked the first season of Our Last Crusade.

There's three CGDCT this season: Nokotan, Alya, and Narenare -Cheer for You!-. That's going to be nice. Giji Harem was a really cute and sweet romance. Surprised it got an anime.

There's a lot of stuff I haven't really heard of, but could be good based on the description, particularly, Dungeon People, Tasuuketsu, VTuber, Atri, and Makeine.

It's been a long time since I finished Code Geass and Bakemonogatari. Should I rewatch these? Do I have time to rewatch these?

2

u/Shimmering-Skymyanimelist.net/profile/Shimmering-SkyJul 01 '24

The current Code Geass show is specifically a sequel to the movies rather than the TV series, so if you don't have time to rewatch a 50-episode show, you just need to watch the three recap movies & Lelouch of the Re;surrection.

4

u/Bill_MurrieJul 01 '24

Most of the season looks like IPs I know nothing about, which romance or romance-adjacent ones should I look out for?

9

u/Durinthalhttps://anilist.co/user/DurinthalJul 01 '24edited Jul 01 '24

I tossed most things with a romance tag on my plan to watch list to at least give a shot.

The only non-sequel one I'm familiar with is Dahlia in Bloom (Madougushi Dahlia wa Utsumukanai) which is a personal favorite light novel with a slow-burn romance that's a little along the lines of Snow White with the Red Hair, so I can only hope the anime is good.

5

u/scot911https://myanimelist.net/profile/scot911Jul 02 '24edited Jul 03 '24

Honestly there's a lot of romcoms this season. Just from my own count there are at least 10. From the big headliner romance in "Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian" to webmanga darlings like "Pseudo Harem" to romcoms no one thought would ever be adapted due to the mangaka dying early into its run like "Magical Girl and the Evil Lieutenant". Edit: Literally the only thing that's missing from this season is a Shoujo romance for girls to enjoy unless "Senpai is an Otokonoko" counts.

1

u/zairanerhttps://myanimelist.net/profile/zairanerJul 02 '24

If you are in any way ok with watching a fluff romcom, I heavily recommend "pseudo harem".

If you are looking for a good ecchi/wish fullfillment harem show, give 2.5 seduction a try!

6

u/AmethystItalianmyanimelist.net/profile/AmethystItalianJul 01 '24

Can't say too much is jumping out from me from this season, at the very least I'll still have Spice and Wolf though.

6

u/SometimesMainSupporthttps://myanimelist.net/profile/RRSTRRSTJul 01 '24

Oof, she's lost hope in Dahlia before it debuts.

6

u/AmethystItalianmyanimelist.net/profile/AmethystItalianJul 01 '24

It's my AotS pick but after that and Harem there's a big drop

5

u/zairanerhttps://myanimelist.net/profile/zairanerJul 02 '24

Let me guess, you only plan to try out 27 shows this season?

6

u/AmethystItalianmyanimelist.net/profile/AmethystItalianJul 02 '24

Think it's around 25 but we'll see with 6 carryovers already making it feel like a lot

4

u/zairanerhttps://myanimelist.net/profile/zairanerJul 02 '24

Girl...the 15 or so shows I'll try this season (sequels included) are already record for me.

2

u/AmethystItalianmyanimelist.net/profile/AmethystItalianJul 02 '24

Usually I start at ~35 and try to get down to 30 if possible.

5

u/AbyssalFlame02Jul 01 '24

I just noticed, they’re doing Kimi ni todoke S3??

literally back from the dead!

edit: fuck Imma pray before I sleep for Skip Beat S2

2

u/Infodump_IbisJul 01 '24

I said yes to (9): Chibi Godzilla Raids Again 2nd Season, Plus-Sized Elf, Pseudo Harem, Himitsu no AiPri, Red Cat Ramen, Senpai is an Otokonoko, My Deer Friend Nokotan, Terminator Zero and Wonderful Precure!

Btw, Red Cat Ramen is Ani-One confirmed so there will be (potentially shoddy) official English subs available somewhere but India being absent is rather curious (if I'm not mistaken all the other Ani-One Indian absences are on Crunchyroll for Indian Subcontinent which impli... I am mistaken on at least 2 counts).

My ratings were five threes and one of each other number. I might have overshot putting Precure as the 4 because Precure Summers can be a quality dip due to resources diverted to the movie. Deer was the 5, AiPri the 2 and Terminator the 1.

I'll probably watch "Oshi no Ko" Season 2 after season (that's how I did season 1). There's maybe/got to catch up first on pile is (13+): 2.5 Dimensional Seduction, ATRI: My Dear Moments, My Hero Academia Season 7, Code Geass: Rozé of the Recapture, Karasu wa Aruji wo Erabanai (YATAGARASU: The Raven Does Not Choose Its Master), Chi's Sweet Summer Vacation, Mayonaka Punch, Narenare -Cheer for You!- (after I said yes to Jellyfish and stalled on ep 1 I need to be real...), Pokémon Horizons: The Series., Shinkalion: Change the World, T.P BON Season 2 (maybe not, S1 didn't even make PTW-tier in my post-spring list), Sakuna: Of Rice And Ruin, VTuber Legend: How I Went Viral after Forgetting to Turn Off My Stream and some of Anime Movies/ONAs/OVAs/Specials (doubt many will be out + Eng subbed in Summer).

2

u/zairanerhttps://myanimelist.net/profile/zairanerJul 02 '24edited Jul 02 '24

Excitement ranking

  1. Oshi no ko s2: Should fairerwise been #3, but now I watched the pre-screening and jsut couldn't keep down my hype. this is going to be so much fun.
  2. Pseudo Harem: The greatest fluffromcom is upon us! And while "fluff romances" aren't always nexessarily a good thing (since, they are kind boring often), this one is so good that I have no problem recommending to anybody liking romcoms
  3. nokotan: aots
  4. 2.5 Dimensional Seduction: Name a more iconic duo than anime and creating unrealistic expactions on how easy it is to get an entire group of beautiful, popular girls to want to be your friend, share your hobbies/want to find out about without being judging and even cosplay for you while not minding your perveted natura as a friendless, obsessed female weeb... But on a serious note, that this series basically does the ultimate wish fullfillment for both of the main characters just makes the entire thing so much more enjoyable
  5. Mayonaka punch: [Premise spoilers]vampire youtuber original? Must try.
  6. Sengoku youko s2: s1 had an icnredible finale, and now s2 continues in super interesting way, and manga readers hyping this part up even more.
  7. The Magical Girl and the Evil Lieutenant Used to Be Archenemies: An obvious passion project from studio bones, to honor the mangaka who died before she could finish the series. Also one hell of an insane voice cast. The source material has ...problematic aspects, which makes me rather curious how it is adapted.
  8. Senpai wa otonoko
  9. Narenare -Cheer for You!:
  10. Makeine: Too Many Losing Heroines!

2

u/mr_beanozhttps://myanimelist.net/profile/splitshockerJul 02 '24

Not a big list for me - here goes:

  1. Kinnikuman
  2. Sakuna
  3. Mayonaka Punch
  4. VTuber Legend
  5. Plus Sized Elf
  6. Grendizer U
  7. Pseudo Harem
  8. Suicide Squad
  9. Nokotan
  10. Too Many Losing Heroines
  11. Cheer For You
  12. Red Cat Ramen

Using an incognito tab worked without problem, though I'd like to not have to do that if possible.

u/NebrestoJul 02 '24

Looking like a pretty weak season for me. Not particularly excited for anything new, only carryovers. Well, I won't be home for most of the season anyway, so good timing I guess

1

u/Accomplished-Toe9956Jul 03 '24

gotta watch dedede demons

u/NebrestoJul 03 '24

Maybe? I don't know anything about that show

2

u/bandannadannhttps://myanimelist.net/profile/BandanaaJul 02 '24

Wistoria: Wand and Sword and The Elusive Samurai are definitely my most anticipated shows this season, but I'm also looking forward to the two Doga Kobo shows

2

u/bobisaliveRedditJul 02 '24

Just saying: Losing Heroines is being slept on. The animation is great, the characters seem likeable, and the light novel reviews are decent. It seems like a nice romcom without any significant weaknesses.

2

u/Dodo_GalaxyJul 02 '24

Looking forward to:

  • Kimi ni todoke season 3
  • The magical girl and the evil lieutenant
  • Tasogare outfocus
  • Dahlia in bloom

u/Penguinfox24Jul 02 '24

I see 25 non sequel animes that caught my eye.

2

u/DandoloFTWJul 02 '24

Already Watching:

  1. Spice and Wolf - Loved the original and loving the reboot so far

  2. Slime Isekai - Not my all-time favorite show, but it's a pretty chill watch week to week.

  3. Yatagarasu - One of the big surprises from last season. Really interesting plot and good worldbuilding. It's probably closer to Game of Thrones than it is to Apothecary Diaries, though. So I'd recommend it more to fans of the former han the latter.

  4. Whisper Me a Love Song - I've personally enjoyed this a lot. I've seen complaints about the adaption, so I might check out the source material at some point.

  5. My Wife has no Emotions- Interesting first episode. This could go in several different directions, and I'm pretty interested in seeing where it goes.

Plan to watch:

  1. My Deer Friend Nokotan - No idea what to expect, but I'm definitely curious

  2. Tower of God - Season 1 was good enough to keep watching this. I've heard that was mostly a prolog, and the story takes off from here.

  3. Tasuketsu Fate of the Majority - I'm a sucker for psychological battle anime, so there is a good chance I like this even if it's objectively not the best show.

  4. Magical Girl and Evil Lieutenant - Looks interesting, and since it's shorter episodes, it's not much of a time commitment.

  5. Alya- I love romance shows and have only heard good things about this one.

  6. Oshi No Ko- Loved season 1, so I'm very glad to have more of this.

  7. Love is Indivisible by Twins - Cautiously optimistic.

  8. Twilight Out of Focus - Will give this a shot. It's probably the show I have the lowest confidence in, though.

  9. Days with My Stepsister - I'm hoping this is a better version of My Stepmom's Daughter is my Ex, which I liked well enough but felt like had untapped potential.

  10. Cafe Terrace- Season 1 was really fun. I'm not expecting this to be as good as Quints, but it has a similar energy.

  11. Giji Harem- Excited, everything I've heard leads be to believe this is a show I'll enjoy quite a bit.

  12. Senpai is an Otokonoko- I haven't heard much about this one, but it seems worth giving a try.

  13. Dead Dead Demons - Haven't started this yet, but I've seen enough positive opinions posted here to give it a try and get caught up.

  14. 2.5 Dimensional Seduction - I'm not sure if this'll just be Dress up Darling Lite or if it will go in its own direction. It definitely looks worth giving it a shot, though.

  15. Dungeon People- I'm not sure what caught my interest here, but something about it makes me want to check it out.

  16. Suicide Squad Isekai- I might just binge watch this down the road instead. A rare anime that will be on MAX, which means I can download and watch during my commute.

  17. Dahlia in Bloom - I've seen this compared to Snow White with Red Hair. That makes this worth a watch for me.

  18. Shoshimin - It's hard to find mystery shows, and I've this has the same writer as Hyouka.

  19. Too many Losing Heroines - The premise sounds good... but I've been fooled before by these more meta rom-coms. Crossing my fingers, this is not the next "Rom Com where the Childhood Friend won't Lose."

  20. Atri - This caught my attention, I get the feeling it will be an emotional show. So, hopefully, it's done well.

  21. Monogatari - It's in my all-time top 20, so it's a no-brainer.

  22. Kimi Ni Todoke - It's in my top 10 and is my second favorite romance show of all-time. One of the very rare times I've actually read the manga and the section this season will likely adapt is actually my favorite part.

  23. Terminator Zero - This is more of a maybe than the rest of this list. But nothing interesting has really come out of this franchise in decades, I'm a bit curious if this can breathe new life into it.

My previous record was 26 shows, set this current season, so if I end up watching all of these, it'll be my new record for the busiest season.

It's a strange situation where the two strongest anime of last season are continuing in to the next one. We had Pokémon/Frieren/Apothecary do it but I found Shinkalion to be more enjoyable than the latter two. That aside, this season looks to have real promise. So many cool concepts I'm looking forward to exploring.

Managed to squeeze Giji Harem in.

u/Some_Trash852Jul 01 '24

Meshi did this too

u/Mitsuyan_https://anilist.co/user/mitsuyanJul 01 '24

Indeed - Pokémon/Meshi/Yatsura the last two seasons were all up there. We are spoiled for good anime

I'll be there every week :

  • Monogatari Series : Off & Monster Season

I'll be there at least the first couple weeks...

...and then either continue or catch up at the end of the season if I had a good first impression :

  • Mayonaka Punch
  • Na Nare Hana Nare
  • The Elusive Samurai
  • Dungeon no Naka no Hito

u/Akame_xohttps://anilist.co/user/AkamexoJul 01 '24

Seems like back to back slow seasons for me. The only things I’m really interested in so far are Elusive Samurai and Tower of God S2. Hopefully there’s a few hidden gems that surprise me

u/MapoTofuManhttps://myanimelist.net/profile/BaronBrixiusJul 01 '24

Let the Summer Romcomageddon begin, it's been a while since I was this excited about a Summer season.

AOTS potential :

  • Losing Heroines
  • Senpai wa Otokonokonokonokokoshitantan
  • Atri (highest 10/10 potential, Plastic Memories x Jukki Hanada? Sign me up)

Will watch, high expectations :

  • Pseudo Harem (note to everyone not familiar with the manga : this is not an actual harem show, it's a regular romcom with only 1 MC and 1 FMC. Lots of fluff and top-tier character chemistry and near-zero drama from what I remember)
  • Brazil
  • Russia
  • Tower of God S2
  • Sengoku Youko S2
  • Oshi no Ko S2
  • Shy S2
  • Nokotan
  • Gimai Seikatsu

Will watch, medium expectations :

  • Isekai Suicide Squad (technically already started, pretty fun so far)
  • Shoushimin Series
  • Love is Indivisible by Twins
  • Dahlia
  • Goddess Cafe Terrace S2
  • Mayonaka Punch
  • Sakuna
  • Dungeon People

Will try only if first episode reception is very good, no expectations :

  • Mahoaku
  • Why Does Nobody Remember My World?
  • Elusive Samurai (not sure what to think about this, looks nice but manga has one of the lowest scores I've ever seen for a big title, does it go downhill later?)
  • Parry isekai
  • The blue kids isekai
  • Tasuuketsu
  • Bye Bye, Earth
  • Wistoria

So about 20 shows + the 1-2 that will make it from the bottom group. Not the most packed season but the first 3 alone already make it a good one for me (assuming Atri is that good).

2

u/HolyEmpireOfAtuaJul 02 '24

For reference, the Elusive Samurai has had a relatively low score for its entire run, it has had a steady decline in manga sales too.

That being said, its reception is still far better in Japan than in the West and it’s written by Yusei Matsura(? - think that’s his name, who wrote Assassination Classroom.

One reason for its low score is the heavy focus on Japanese history which makes it a little difficult for Westerners inc. myself to understand, but it’s still a great read imo - I’d recommend it.

1

u/BigFishCheeseJul 02 '24

If they manage to adapt Atri well it has huge potential for anime of the season

3

u/Emi_IbarazakiiiJul 01 '24

Gonna check out about 843 shows as usual;

My hype list (rated 4 or better):

  • Oshi No Ko (5/5). This show not being 5/5 for me would be the surprise of the season.
  • Spice&Wolf (5/5).
  • Deer (5/5).This is my least confident 5/5. I really want it to be, and all the trailers are encouraging, but as someone who doesn't watch a lot of gag anime I can't be sure just yet!
  • Suicide Squad Isekai (4/5). The anime: 4/5. Harley: 5/5. (Given I already watched some episodes I guess it's less of a prediction than the others).
  • Fable (4/5) ("")
  • Alya hides her feelings in Russian (4/5). If it's a one-note gimmick it'll be closer to 4, but if there's more/the side characters are great it may rise up to 5.
  • Tassuketsu (4/5). I so wanted to give it 5/5 because that's my type of premise, but these shows are always shit for some inexplicable reason, so I'll try to be cautiously optimistic, so I'm less disappointed when it turns out to be a 2/5.
  • Too many losing heroines (4/5)
  • 2.5D dimensional seduction (4/5)
  • Robot wife (4/5)
  • Dungeon people (4/5)
  • Chubby elf (4/5)
  • Pseudo harem (4/5)
  • Koi Wa Fugato (4/5)

2

u/Jeganthahttps://myanimelist.net/profile/JeganthaJul 01 '24

Definitely watching the following shows:

  • SHY S2
  • VTuber Legend
  • Na Nare Hana Nare
  • Mayonaka Punch
  • Deer

Loved SHY's first season so I'm expecting the second one to be good as well.
Even though I never watch VTubers, I'm still gonna watch VTuber legend because there can never be enough yuri anime.
In a similar vein the PV's from Nanare has me hoping they will have something beyond subtext as well. You never know with originals of course.. (looking at you, Jellyfish)
Mayonaka seems like a fun CGDCT anime so why not.
Deer.

u/BigFishCheeseJul 02 '24

Love seeing fellow SHY enjoyers!

u/actionfirst1Jul 02 '24

Each season I think it would be wise to watch fewer anime this time around and each season I end up ignoring that idea because I love anime. Here's what I'm planning on so far but not 100% settled on these:

-Oshi no Ko Season 2

-Alya Sometimes Hides her Feelings in Russian

-2.5 Dimensional Seduction

-Mayonnaise Punch

-Atri: My Dear Moments

-Days with My Stepsister

-Too Many Losing Heroines

-Failure Frame

-My Deer Friend Nokotan

-Nier Automata ver1.1a Cour 2

-The Elusive Samurai

-No Longer Allowed in Another World

-Plus-Sized Elf

-Pseudo Harem

-Shoshimin: How to Become Ordinary

-Suicide Squad Isekai

-Why Does Nobody Remember me in this World?

-Tower of God Season 2

-The Cafe Terrace and its Goddesses Season 2

-Wistoria:Wand and Sword

And, continuing from the Spring:

-Spice and Wolf: Merchant Meets the Wise Wolf

-Mission: Yozakura Family

That's 22, but last season was 23 so it'll be doable lol

u/Heda-of-Aincradhttps://myanimelist.net/profile/Heda-of-AincradJul 02 '24

I won't be following any shows weekly, so everything I voted for is stuff I'm definitely watching or likely to watch after the season (or year) is over. A few highlights:

  • Oshi no Ko season 2 is the one I'm most hyped for, by far.
  • Following that, I've read great things about Dahlia in Bloom, so I'm looking forward to it. Also a fan of PA Works shows, and I'm hoping to check out at least two of the three.
  • A lot of romcoms this season, and the ones that caught my interest the most at this point are Pseudo Harem and Alya.
  • Dungeon People, by virtue of being on HiDive, might actually be one of the first shows on this list that I watch when I resubscribe for Oshi no Ko this fall.

2

u/Express-Discussion65https://myanimelist.net/profile/ChakeolJul 02 '24

Deer friend nokotan just seems like so much fun. Definitely looking forward to watching it! Also looking forward to tog s2, giji harem (read the manga and loved it), the Russian anime, and the hyouka anime

2

u/Usodearu007https://myanimelist.net/profile/Doc101Jul 02 '24

the ones im most looking forward to :

- Oshi no ko (6/5)

- alya-san (5/5)

- gimai seikatsu (5/5)

- atri (5/5)

- monogatari offseason (5/5) (if it was monster season it would have been a 6/5)

- pseudo harem (4.5/5)

- losing heroines (4/5)

- Shoushimin Series (4/5)

- wistoria (4/5)

- Shikanoko Nokonoko Koshitantan (4/5)

- isekai shikkaku (4/5)

- failure frame (4/5)

u/Calwingsx3https://anilist.co/user/CalwingsJul 01 '24

Second season in a row that's packed with like 18 different shows I'm interested in, which is a hell of a lot for me. Hopefully I don't end up dropping more than half of them like I did last season though.

1

u/sfisher923https://myanimelist.net/profile/sfisher923Jul 01 '24

Not watching much this season with 8-9 Shows but one is already on a fine line for being dropped before it even begins

  • Yosabi Gurashi - Having a bad feeling about Region Locking issues in the USA like Girl Band Cry but I'll just wait a few days (The weekend after the 5th) and see

1

u/manquistadorJul 01 '24

Very little interest in this season. ONK, Suicide Squad, and Code Geass are the only things that I will plan on watching. Maybe there will be a some decent trashy shows that rise up. Fairly disappointing year for me so far. Winter was good, but Spring and Summer lacking things that appeal to me.

1

u/Glum-Lynx-8751Jul 02 '24

I'm mostly interested in Atri: My Dear Moments, Giji Haram, Suicide Squad Isekai, Mayonaka Punch, Shikanoko Nokonoko Koshitantan🦌🦌🦌, and Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian. Atri is being made by studio Troyca, and I'm a fan of their early works. The trailer has me intrigued. I wouldn't be surprised if it's anime of the season. As for Suicide Squad, I've already watched the first few episodes on Hulu, and so I'm going continuing that. Holy shit, did anyone notice that PA Works is doing three shows this season? Anyways, there's a few more shows I'm keeping my eye on.

1

u/ThatFireGuy0Jul 02 '24

Honestly I'm not seeing much this season. I'm pretty disappointed

Tower of God is promising given the first season, and Board Room Mania Slime is still airing and hopefully will be decent.... But I'm mostly looking forward to fall when there is so much good stuff

Though im still holding out hope for a last minute Bleach announcement. It was supposed to be this year some time

1

u/cppn02Jul 04 '24

Tower of God is promising given the first season

Was very hyped for this based on the source material and reviews from people who saw the early screening. Bit more wary now having watched the first 10 minutes of S02E01. Especially with best girl getting a VA change.

1

u/cheesecakegoodJul 02 '24

Alya has a gorgeous manga and a not-stupid MC, so that's a yes. Romance options always a bit of a toss-up, might try Pseudo Harem or My Wife Has No Emotion because I liked Vivy, though different shows for sure.

Isekai trash reporting in: Failure Frame is one I've read some of, a little bit of an Arifureta start where he has basically only status-effect and DoT spells and gets looked down on. Parry Everything seems stupid in a good way and thus my trash pick.

Will also be continuing with Nier S2 (good despite hype-killer break, fan of the game), Oshi No Ko S2 (great start, unique show), Spice and Wolf (great re-adaptation)

1

u/assyl_Jul 02 '24

Hello where can I watch the last movie of demon slayer that aired before the latest season ? Do I need to watch it or is it just a recap ?

1

u/Chaotic-warpJul 03 '24edited Jul 03 '24

This season seems pretty weak in terms of new content to me, at least compared to Winter and Spring. Still, I'm looking forward to Monogatari, Shy S2, Oshi no Ko and Shikanoko Nokonoko Koshitantan. Alya, Atri, Dahlia, Pseudo harem, Evil Lieutenant and Mayonaka punch also seem interesting, and I'm going to continue watching what I have already started.

1

u/Lain-JJul 03 '24

I realize I'm mostly looking forward to new seasons. Oshi no ko, monogatari, sengoko youko, tower of god, and most the leftover two cour shows are pretty good. Raven does not choose its master is very underwatched. NieR:Automata p2 probably my most anticipated. P1 really felt reminiscent of psychological and atmospheric mystery that feels like a lost art, but onto the new anime.

The Elusive Samurai - Clover Works seems like they are putting in a lot of effort here.

SHOSHIMIN: How to Become Ordinary - Its from the author of Hyouka, but without kyoto-ani I'm not completely sold but I'm definitely giving it a shot

My Wife Has No Emotion - I'm 100% for comfy slice of life shows that include living with a dragon/kitsune/robot

No Longer Allowed In Another World - Feel like this is going to be overlooked at trash isekai from the trailers and premise I think they have something.

Shikanoko Nokonoko Koshitantan - I don't think anyone is going to want to miss out on brainrot

u/Accomplished-Toe9956Jul 03 '24

i dont see dedede demons being talked about enough on here, first 5 episodes were insanely good, hoping people catch on this season

1

u/brokengolemJul 04 '24

Red Cat Ramen is a great manga! I have high hopes for the anime.

u/KayDasiJul 04 '24

I hope there is a season of Yamada-kun to lvlv 999, I will pray for it

u/AwaySpellhttps://anilist.co/user/awayspellJul 02 '24

Certain watches:

  • The Magical Girl and The Evil Lieutenant Used to Be Archenemies: Studio Bones + it looks adorable and shoujo-esque.
  • The Elusive Samurai: Studio Cloverworks + the creator of Assassination Classroom. It'll look gorgeous and the story will be okay at worst.
  • Quality Assurance in Another World: Someone I know really likes the manga.
  • Senpai is an Otokonoko: Queer romance + josei.
  • Code Geass: Rozé of the Recapture: Never thought I'd have any interest in this franchise again after disliking R2 and the movie, but spoilers from the theatrical screenings have me intrigued. It's like a repackaging of the things I liked about Code Geass with more of the things I disliked trimmed.
  • NieR S2: Sequel.
  • Kimi ni Todoke S3: Sequel.
  • Tower of God S2: Sequel.

Particularly curious about:

  • Grendizer U: Pros: It's by Fukuda (Gundam SEED) and Ookouchi (Gundam Witch from Mercury and Code Geass). Cons: It's by Fukuda (Gundam SEED) and Ookouchi (Gundam Witch from Mercury and Code Geass).
  • Red Cat Ramen: There's cats! And ramen!
  • Delico's Nursery: According to the synopsis hot vampire dads and some murders are involved.

Plus a few more that I have decent hopes I'll like. It's looking pretty alright for a summer season.

u/Quiddity131https://myanimelist.net/profile/Quiddity131Jul 02 '24

I'll be watching five shows this season, which is my most ever, although one of them isn't starting until August. In order of how much I'm looking forward to them/how high my expectations are:

  1. Nier Automata v1.1 season 2
  2. Monogatari Offseason/Monster season
  3. Oshi no Ko season 2
  4. Code Geass Roze of the Recapture
  5. Kimi ni Todoke season 3

I believe Ichiro Okouchi has a new mecha anime coming out too? So I may have to make it six.

Nier Automata is one of the best video games of all time and now we'll be entering the second half of the storyline which is where it went from "pretty good" territory to "among the all time great" territory. I do still wonder how they are going to handle several of the biggest and most impactful things of the game though which were really relying upon being in the video game medium.

After going through the entire Monogatari franchise in 2021 (and rewatching them all in 2023) this will be my first time following it week to week as episodes come out! Quite hyped.

I read the entirety of the Oshi no Ko manga a few months back (well as far as had been released at the time) so similar to Nier it will be a rare instance where I'll be following an adaption knowing the original story.

Can't say I have the highest hopes for the Code Geass revival given the first episode resetting the status quo so much to how it was in the original show, but will continue to give it a go for a while.

Kimi ni Todoke season 2 was horrendously bad most of the way, up there among the most frustrating anime I have ever watched for the vast majority of that season and if they pull the same over reliance on horrifically bad tropes again I am not sticking around this time. Season 3 is on a short leash.
