i usually try to order these by "how excited was i on days new episodes released" but honestly i was extremely excited for all of them so here's just an attempt at a regular "rankings of what i liked most" order. i dont tend to hate-watch animes so even the lowest thing on this list is a very high register on the enjoyment meter
- gundam witch from mercury
like. yeah. this was inevitable. i dont really have much more to say than what i did in this post. i think the second half was a lot stronger than the first half
- oshi no ko
i'd already read the manga so there were no surprises for the story but the quality of the animation and voice acting and music was so high it felt like i was experiencing it for the first time. i don't think it's necessarily better or worse than the manga but it manages to stand successfully on its own which is a big achievement (kinda like kaguya does)
- skip and loafer
everyone needs to watch this. a warm blanket of a show about how it's actually good to be weird because all of your friends are weird too and have their own things going on and it's nice to just hang out with each other. im immediately reading the manga. i would die for nao-chan.
- tengoku daimakyo / heavenly delusion (honestly not sure why they didnt go with the localized name for the show but whatever)
this probably would've been my #2 show of the season but i think it's ending suffered a bit too much from manga-adaptation-itis. it's still an all-timer though. the second "lets see if these crazy kids make it in this fucked up world" show this season. and man....this show has got some GENDER in it. gender situations off the charts. im also immediately getting into the manga because i love the characters so much.
- birdie wing
it's birdie wing! i liked it. it's fun watching girls play golf extremely wrongly but i dont think this half of the season was anything special compared to the first so it's pretty low on my list cause it didnt surprise me really
- my love story with yamada-kun at lv999
just a pretty fun rom-com. nothing complicated. i really enjoyed watching it but im not gonna be trying to pitch this one to anyone else really tbh
