Since Fall season has started, I would want to give the lineup towards the stuff that I am watching recently.
(Will be listing them for now the stuff that are already out)
Flip Flappers - Pretty great from the art and animation, towards the music department. The story has to yet develop and the chemistry between the two main protagonists are quite entertaining for me. I just hope they can focus on the two girls and doesn’t really turn into a disappointment, and as expected from 3herz, some pretty nice artstyle but they have some loads of talented animators, so I wanna see how it will go in terms of the sakuga fest.
Gakuen Handsome - Probably the worst I have seen from the season and well, coming from a person that loves some Fujoshi fanservice (last one I had was last season’s Servamp), as this is not appealing towards me as a watcher, and the way they draw and try to make it funny is pretty abysmal. Heck, the males looks like ugly faced triangles for me, so I would wanna suggest to skip this personally.
Hibike Euphonium 2nd Season - Funny enough I was not going to watch the second season after a while, but because I made a promise towards a friend of mine previously, I decided to check it out. For an hour long episode it was quite fine, although the pacing didn’t worked well in its favor (since it is rather slow as hell), and of course I do like it more than the first season in all honesty.
Keijo!!! - The ecchi series of the seasons. What is a season without one? Obviously this one is kinda fun and a pass the time spree show, its nothing amazing but the boob and butts shots and slams are pretty enjoyable, and the characters are pretty likeable for me. I’ll stick with it on weekly basis.
Mahou Shoujo Ikusei Keikaku - Another Mahou Shoujo series which funny enough, from Danganronpa 3 (which was rather serious in fact) it went to complete moeness mahou shoujo… thats a… pretty weird transition there. But aside from that, nothing really particularly hyped around, but it is quite interesting in terms of the story introduction for a first episode. Opening is pretty good and the Ending is quite fire. Not gonna lie I do have the feeling this is more of a Mix between Future Diary and Madoka Magica.
Nanbaka - Gintama’s director does it again with the stuff it added for me, I think it’s more safe to say that for the first episode, truly enjoyed it. Pretty colorful, bright lighty, as well with some interesting and likeable cast of characters. I’m hoping it still keeps the rather enjoyable tone which it keeps its fun side.
Shuumatsu no Izetta - Probably one of my favorites due to the Historical aspect of it, as well with some pretty interesting premise of it. I do hope at least for this one they give more details about the two characters and how they know each other. This reminds me of Junketsu no Maria in a way in all honesty, it brings vibes to it.
Soushin Shoujo Matoi - White Fox’s first original anime, and as an first original, so far its pretty decent. Its artstyle is rather wacky which reminds me a bit for Kiznaiver, and it actually suits the tone and vibe of the series overall for my end. I do think it won’t be that unique but if it does go to a different direction, I can’t honestly wait for it. But we’ll see.
Touken Ranbu: Hanamaru - As a person who has played the games, this was pure fanservice for the fans in my eyes. The characters and the comedy were solid, same with the animation (having few talented animators in the first episode which, not gonna lie, they just made it look good), the Opening is probably the highlight of the series in my personal opinion.
Yuri on Ice - Probably my most favorite so far, and its everything I wanted it to be and more. Great animation, music, solid artstyle, some pretty likeable cast so far, and at the same time the OP is the one that stands out visual wise for my end.
So far the season isn’t really bad, I just hope they stay with the quality consistency.
