Previous Thread

At this point in time, the Winter seasonal shows have either wrapped up or are airing their finale this week. So, I wanted to hear your thoughts on shows you watched this season. Shows you liked, disliked, were surprised by, disappointed by? Let those opinions rip!

Like always, this thread can also be used for general discussions, recommendations, and questions. So, if you haven't been watching any seasonal shows, but instead want to talk about the finer points of Fushigi Yuugi, that is fine too.

As always, remember to be mindful of spoilers. If you want to know more about how to handle spoilers in this community, check the guide here (also linked in the sidebar).

Watched quite a few show this season. The two that stood out for me is, not surprisingly, Frieren and Apothecary Diaries.

I am not Frieren source reader, so I didn't know what to expect, but everyone was hyping about it. That made me watch it and it didn't disappoint. I have never gave a show 10 in MAL but after last episode of Frieren, I gave my first 10/10 score. Also I heard about really good things about Apothecary Diaries and went in blind. The thing I like about Apothecary Diaries is, the lead female character. The story is not that unique if you have seen a handful of historical Korean or Chinese Drama but still it is interesting to see how MC solve the disputes. Love the chibi character moments in this.

Another anime I want to talk is Solo Leveling. I read the manhwa and it has really good art and it works really good for vertical scroll reading. I didn't think it would translate well for animation. But Studio A1 did their best in animation and the music by Swano made me hype for the MC fights. Also really love the anime added development for side characters.

Ishura is an anime that is best watched after finish airing. The first four or five episodes are new characters introduction but after that the wait really paid off. Jumped on Ninja Kamui hype train mid season, decent revenge story with good fights. Really had high hopes for Metallic Rouge, but didn't meet my expectations.

Banished from Hero Party s2 more focuses on new hero but the main MC couple also has their moments too. I don't know why I like this series, maybe because its chilly story and MC couple moments.

Metallic Rouge...didn't meet my expectations

You and me both. For a project meant to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Bones (the studio), this isn't really shining the best light on them. It had good elements (the OST in particular was pretty good imo), but it was just completely let down by a nigh-incomprehensible plot.

Yes, OST is good. I still had some hope for this even after midway. For me, it just got worse. It feels like the story doesn't know where to go so they just glue random events together. It is definitely let-down anime for Studio Bones 25th Anniversary.
