MODERATORS
I heard good things about that one. However, if I remember correctly, it was only licensed partway through the season after my watch schedule was mostly filled up.
Mostly I have no clue as to what will be good, so aside from what others have posted:
Kinnikuman - Because Production I.G. should be good. Then again, Boukyaku Battery...
The Fable S2 - Because apparently I'm the only person in this /c/ who watched this.
Kengan Ashura S2, Part 2 whenever that shows up mid season in August ?!?
Already mentioned:
Oshi No Ko S2 - Heck yeah!!!
Tower Of God S2 - Rahelu must die a slow painful death...
Plus sized Elf
So, I have seen several people now in this community mention Tower of God. It is a show I had completely skipped over back when it aired, but since people here are looking forward to it, I decided to try to get caught up real quick before the next season starts so I can join in the discussions. I am working my way through right now and will probably be done before next week's general thread, so I am going to save my detailed thoughts for that thread but...it has really made me look forward to the discussion threads next season to try to make sense of a lot of things that are not explained. It has been very gripping so far though, with a knack for ending episodes exactly when you want to see more.
If you think the anime is good, it captured the essence of the source webtoon really well.
Meta update:
I was able to automate the wiki updates like I had hoped. I was having a real hard time with the bash scripting needed and making no progress. So, I instead decided to just put it all in a python script. Got it all fixed up in no time after that. If you run into any issues, please let me know.
Can't say I'm a fan of the ads on that page 😬
I think they use some third party ad partner (maybe Google AdSense, idk), so I don't know how much control they might have over that. I just loaded it up on my phone and it was ads for Alzheimer's medicine (tell me you are from the US without saying so). For what its worth, I hadn't really loaded up the page on mobile before, so I didn't even realize there were ads (there aren't any on desktop, even without an ad blocker).
It's the same ad of horse penis next to a girls face between each item of the list 🤣
Probably only for me on account of all the horse porn I search for.
Will continue Spice and Wolf and start Senpai is an Otokonoko
Definitely will be watching these
- Oshi no Ko season 2
- Tower of God season 2
- Nier season 2
- Suicide Squad
- My Deer Friend Nokotan
- Wistoria: Wand and Sword (not sure about this one)
Maybe
- Makeine Too Many Losing Heroines
- Narenare Cheer for You!
- MAYONAKA PUNCH
- Fairy Tail 100 Years Quest
I am the most excited for Tower of God season 2 of this list. This is where the story gets really interesting and exciting. Also hyping to see a certain character moment.
Thanks to you telling to check out "My Deer Friend Nokotan" trailer video in a post, I checked it out and now it is now one of my awaiting show.
These shows have been enabled.
Planning to watch
My Wife Has No Emotion - The manga is great
My Deer Friend Nokotan - There's a lot of hype around it, and it seems weird enough
Senpai Is An Otokonoko
Looks like trash
Pretty much any of the generic isekai / harem / battle shonen shows
These shows have been enabled.
Whenever I made a thread about a new visual or PV for Senpai is an Otokonoko, I would think back to Misaki-kun. Such a perfect panel.

Mushoku Tensei making big gains this week as some dramatic things happen. One of the side effects of running the bot that creates all the episode discussions is that I see all the top level replies in the discussion threads. I need to monitor them to allow users to request screenshots to be the lead image for the thread. However, it means that when something really big happens in a show, it is essentially impossible for me to avoid spoilers. It doesn't really bother me, but it is something that I hadn't really thought about before doing this.
Personally, I have a number of series that I am looking forward to this summer season.
Definitely Watching
- Oshi no Ko Season 2 - really looking forward to this one
- Pseudo Harem - One of my favorite manga of all time. This should be a complete adaptation. Don't sleep on this one.
- My Deer Friend Nokotan - shikanoko nokonoko koshitantan
- My Wife Has No Emotion - Another great manga.
Will try to give a shot (time permitting)
- Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian - heard good things about this manga for a while, but just haven't checked it out yet
- Love Is Indivisible by Twins - just recently started this manga and it is a whole big ball of drama
- Too Many Losing Heroines! - seems like an interesting premise
- Dahlia in Bloom - the LN comes recommended by NineSwords, so I have high hopes
Will see what the reception is like before committing
- Quality Assurance in Another World - could be an interesting take or absolutely average
- Dungeon People - CGDCT where they are laborers in a dungeon
- VTuber Legend - will wait to see if the humor is well received here
- Plus-Sized Elf - this one is coming in an uncensored variety on HIDIVE for all you out there with very specific sensibilities
On a meta note, I continue to make updates on the bot. Most recently I added functionality so that you can see all the shows that the bot is currently tracking:
- See the page of tracked shows here (also linked in the sidebar)
The development roadmap in the near future is full of things to make my life easier. The big goal with this work right now is to automate updating the wiki pages when episode threads are created.
In case you didn't know, I have been maintaining an index of all the show discussion threads, organized by season. You can find the index page here and the current spring 2024 season page here.
So far, this has been an entirely manual process. Basically, once a day, I would go through all the posts made by the bot and add them to the wiki page. This is a lot of copy/pasting and it is quite difficult to do when I might be traveling, stuck on mobile, or otherwise disconnected. So, the goal with automating this is to enable it to keep up to date if I am otherwise indisposed for a period of time.
I have the basic functionality implemented, but I am still working on some edge cases, ease of use functions, and all the bash scripting around it to make the magic happen. I am hoping to get all that squared away over the next week and have the wiki pages fully automated for the summer season.
