- We all know that Popular = Best right? Well, what if we could determine the "Most Popular" anime of this season (and therefore the "Best" anime) by using numbers?

Top 10 non-sequels this season by the list
1. Solo Levelling
2. Wrong way to use healing magic
3. Delicious in dungeon
4. 7th time loop
5. Sign of affection
6. Gushing
7. Chained solider
8. Instant death ability
9. Unwanted undead adventurer
10. Level 99 villainess
2,3,6,7 are the ones I am watching. Maybe I should look at 10 as well, but I have a lot to catch up on.
Lets go Unwanted Undead soldier!
I'm pretty happy with that. Only one I'm not watching is sign of affection.
Don't watch 6, 7 and 8. Probably because not on crunchyroll. The other 7 are fun.
@@robpaul7544 6 and 7 are by far the best new shows this season, what are you talking about?
16:14 I want to admit that I do sail in the high sea for most of my anime watching EXCEPT those which appear on netflix, so this is fascinating
Very cool to see you’re using numbers to determine it’s K-On!!
i watched 6 minutes and he still haven't said anything about which anime is popular
K-On!! is the all-time best.
K-ON! really is the best anime of all time. My personal favorite is Sound of the Sky, but I acknowledge it's K-ON!.
Hidden gems will always fall through the cracks. Especially when they don't get as popular as the big names.
Also it might be just hidden Jems for you like if you like a game and they made an anime. And a lot of people don’t follow the game, like Arknights, I don’t know if it’s a hidden gem, I am bout to go watch it lol it’s on my list tho.
tbh kinda the definition of a hidden gem
@@boylettuce1458 That it is. But they're always a joy to find when they hit your sweet spot.
Sound of the Sky and Blood+
@@ianrandolph6436i havent heard of that first one but i have seen blood+ and it wasnt for me
I thought I was done with traditional isekai, but Wrong Way to use Healing Magic is very charming and has interesting characters. It isn't groundbreaking, but it is like anime comfort food.
I'm happy that Urusei Yatsura continues to have high production values and banger OPs and EDs despite not seeming to be that popular. Bravern is really a tragedy though. It's fully executing the fantasy of "What if a Super Robot showed up in a Real Robot?" setting perfectly.
With Bravern, I honestly think that it isn't popular because of exactly what it is... Most Super Robot fans probably don't want that kind of series, myself included... And Super Robot series are already a niche market... So the people it is aimed at, just don't seem to care for it. It likely has nothing to do with the quality, but the concept being perfectly executed is just not what we want.
I mean, you look back at something like Daiguard... Tried to be kind of realistic at the start, but eventually fully committed to being a Super Robot show. That kind of worked... But we don't want to see our supposed protagonist with PTSD and being tortured. Plus the fact they are using the term "Brave" in the series name, kind of suggests it might be related somehow to the "Braves" series of shows... When it is clearly not.
I'm with you on the Urusei Yatsura train. Good old fashioned anime junk food.
@ver Thing is Bravern is doing very well in Japan atm, the show aiming toward the 30+ JP Mecha fans and it works beyond they expected. But since its not even pick up by any EN streaming platform and came late to the Crunchyroll with ep1&2 release I can see they didn't put the EN demographic into consideration to begin with.
To be fair most people, myself included, wouldn't expect to get hooked by a show with a MC robot with a serious case of chunibyo.
The Fire Hunter mentioned!!! Such an amazing show!
Yeah it does have top tier story and writing... Buuut what it's missing is a good animation. In fact the animation is just bad. It kind of reminds me of the very old Berserk anime where half the anime was just still images. Anyways that's it's biggest flaw and why people just aren't interested.
I haven't enjoyed it since early in the first season. The animation is some of the worst I've ever seen and the general production values just aren't there. While the story is conceptually interesting I feel it is told in a very slow and dull manner with too many different factions and the like to keep me engaged.
@@InfinityDude88The best way to enjoy The Fire Hunter is to treat the show as a living storybook and less like a traditional anime. The actual art in The Fire Hunter is beautiful and I never mind that much when they choose to use vividly illustrated pieces of art to communicate key moments in the story. The issue is mainly found in the animation itself, which is serviceable when there is little actual motion on screen, but quite poor when it tries to animate any action to the point where I'd rather see a detailed art page depicting the action, than the action itself. It doesn't change the fact that the actual story is one of the best this decade and the world is certainly one of the most interesting I've come across recently.
Fire Hunter apreciation 🎉
Fire hunter is one of the best shows of the year! And the unusual animation IMO only makes it better!
Yeah, I have no idea why Bang Brave Bang Bravern is that low, either. It’s an awesome series and I love it.
It''s because it's a mecha, a genre that isn't very popular here in the west. Being a super robo doesn't really help in that regard either.
It takes a truly special show for people to give these genres a chance. Magical Girls has Madoka and the mecha genre already has Gurren Lagann.
@@Slice_of_Cake yeah, I get it, though considering how much this series evokes some of the bombast of Gurren Lagann, I was expecting it to get more traction. Guess not.
The Wrong Way To Use Healing Magic is a great show from what I've been experiencing so far. As someone that really dislikes isekais, that show wasn't something I was expecting to have a good time with.
Simply put, it's a genuine isekai that isn't afraid of playing its plot, character and tropes straight with the watcher.
Episode 1 SCREAMED shield hero, you were on the edge of your seat: when is the king gonna become a asshat, when is the hero's ability going to be useless (but secretly OP), when are the other isekaied heros going to turn into pricks and useless buffoons, when is the protagonist going to be exiled, when is slavery going to be introduced...
Except none of that happens? Everyone is just nice, the ability of the protagonist is valued because someone else already thought of a way to make it OP (duh they literally live in this world you think you're going to teach them anything?), the side characters are amazingly fun to hang with. Rose is obviously the highlight as a step on me mommy muscle mommy, the student council president is an adorable dork living the wish fulfillement, the vice president is a great stand up guy who absolutely cares and the classic hero of justice (seigi no mikata) who is angry on everyone else's behalf and want things to be right (you can almost hear the monologue in his head). The king and his court are all supportive and nice people. And the guys at rose's -internement camp- i mean healing station are a bunch a funny muscle head with whom the protagonist butts head much to our amusement.
The main character himself is also interesting in how he develops through his training and his interaction with th other character give him a ton of personality.
Where is the edgyness, horny wish fulfilment nonsense we're used to with isekai????
This is the most 6/10 isekai of i've ever seen it ain't no masterpiece (or at least not from what i can see) but it's just GOOD. The fact it doesn't subvert your expectations competly subverted my expectations. I swear i was having shield hero flashback during the second half of the 1st episode but it didn't happen.
This show deserves more respect, even if it's not the greatest story ever told we need more isekai like that instead of edgy harem nonsense.
same lmao iskai is one of my least favorite genres and yet here i am enjoying this series
@@pougetguillaume4632yes to all of these, when I first started the series I wa waiting for the other shoe to fall... but it never did, imagimg having a series where nobody is secretly an ahole and nobody is/becomes an edgelord and don't get me wrong I wnjoyed Emminence in the Shadow because how much it embraced the cringe bit Wrong way to use Healing Magic is a breath of fresh air among isekai edgelords
Thank you for distributing the data. It was fun to analyze it with you.
It'd be interesting to compare this to the viewing figures in Japan, i.e. the only metric that actually matters if you want to know if something is actually going to get that concluding season or just be dropped in the 'and now buy the manga' waste-bin. (Ok, franchise tie-ins and Japanese blu-ray sales too but really what the west watches hardly makes a ripple.)
But this is a great list of 'what to watch' for those of us who live on a social island far removed from other anime fans... * sigh *
I've heard this is why we are getting the movies inbetween seasons because it makes more money then the seasons in the west and can subsidies the cost sink of each season
Brave Bang Bravern is fantastic.
Is it is it. I am bout to go watch other gundum I only have seen 1 & half, and I need to watch that show again other half of that gundum it was good. 😂
P.S. I am talking about the witch from mercury
Hokkaido Girls is actually quite mild. They haven't even had an onsen episode!🤣
Yeah, that makes sense. I do agree on the assessment on the Netflix thing, as it is the most popular streaming service still.
I really wish you would've made this a bit more visual than just the list of names
I watched the first 2 episodes of Solo leveling and went to read the webtoon/manhua. Binge read it before the 3rd episode came out and after watching the 3rd episode i dropped it as from the pace it went nowhere. Gave it another try with ep7 the Hell Gate episode, but at the end it didn't entice me to come back, exactly for the reason that in 12 episodes it will end at a stupid point. Not sure jow to spoiler it, but he'll most likely just save his "friends" from getting killed.
People glamouring this anime is just like with Demon Slayer (it had the same effect on me, watched the first season and then binged the manga, didn't watch s2). And considering the pace it will be the next MHA, with 3 to 4 seasons, if the popularity keeps up, but don't see that happening after hell "Arise" from the darkness.
Just like me, but I read it right after the first episode. The show just can't hold a candle to the manwa.
I’m often the same. I started watching like 3 anime’s this year, got annoyed waiting for episodes and read the manga. Now I haven’t watched any of the new episodes 🤷♀️
I dropped it after episode 4. I read 1 chapter of the manwha and yes that is a much better read than watch. I feel like they have to cut so much out from the manwha that it ends up being a really mediocre adaptation that even cuts out all the worldbuilding and character dev. Like WTF else is there that even matters in the story other than the Protagonist. Its complete opposite of Frieren which has a very rich world and has so many interesting characters that are unique and are presented in a very memorable way
Also doing a recap episode in less than 8 weeks tells me its not an anime worth caring about. Embarrasing
@@Boomdizzle99 They are actually doing a recap episode? I understand getting good quality animations takes time, but a recap episode? Yeah the anime isn't worth it.
@@StormCrusher94one of the key people (IIRC the lead voice actor) got covid so they had to delay it.
It's also fascinating that dungeon meshi has an incredibly vibrant social media community right now, but a lot of it might not be tagged in a way that the social media dataset looks for, or that data might not have been weighted as heavily as viewcount data
I think I would have preferred to see the rankings per metric individually instead of in aggregate.
Because aggregate has the weird biases noted here due to the lack of available data
This list highlights an interesting problem that faces streaming companies. Obviously it’s important to have flagship shows with wide appeal to bring in said large audiences, but it’s equally important to have niche shows that brings in new untapped audiences as well. Shows that drive subscribers are actually more important than shows the drive views. Obviously we don’t have the data, but I’d be interested to see how the list changed based on which shows had the most first time viewers, or which shows had the most unique subscribers. IE people that only ranked that show but not the more popular ones.
FYI, Netflix did release watch numbers for their catalog a few months ago.
Yes, in case anyone is wondering Netflix does post there streaming views.
Has anyone seen this show called ninja kamui on HBO max? I thought I was tripping because it made it to like #7 on the daily popular ranking on max and I have never heard of this thing. Apparently it's a new show from sunghoo park
Hokkaido gals was a cute manga I think it's fair for it to be popular. It's at least 10%better written romance than all the other romances like Nagatoro, quentuplets, and Usaki. With how starved for romance I am this is easily up there overall
Worth mentioning that this is pretty exclusive to English speaking/western sites. It's my understanding that Urusei Yatsura is doing very well in Japan but it being licensed by Hidive has tanked its chance of success here
Freiren is number one this season but Apothecary Diaries is a strong second
Urusei Yatsura,Sasaki and Peeps and Weakest Tamer below median hurts me so much 😂😂😂
The great cleric was chill and watch protag level up. The wrong way to use healing magic actually has solid writing and has rising action to keep me engaged.
crazy how Hokkaido Gals continues to get dragged by anitubers as ecchi trash when it literally had like 20 seconds of "fanservice" total in 8 episodes
I know, that annoys me as well. They are judging a book by its cover way too harshly. The show is heartwarming not horny.
The show is wholesome and pretty tame as well. I'm convinced half of these AniTubers barely watch these shows
Our guy pirates the data from pirate 🏴☠️ sites. You sir are a legend
This is a really interesting way of trying to determine popularity! I imagine it was a ton of work
15:50 Can confirm I contribute to Dungeon Meshi's view count without a netflix sub.
Great video, I appreciate this kind of analysis and explanation of the data. I wonder how / if targeted demographic effects where they are most likely to make their impressions.
This is the first season in a while where I'm just not watching anything, so it's kinda interesting seeing what most people are enjoying among a bunch of stuff that I had no immediate interest in trying. I ponder how much I should consider this data if I choose to try something from this season. heh.
Loved this video!!! I hope this’ll become a seasonal thing! ✨
Unlikely unless this data is compiled again, and Arkada isn't going to do that.
Scott Steiner: THE NUMBERS DON'T LIE AND THEY SPELL DISASTER FOR YOU AT SACRIFICE!
CAUSE I’M A GENETIC FREAK AND I’M NOT NORMAL
Omg, I loved the fire hunter. Also, I was definitely surprised that cardfight was even lower than pref. Chiba and yamishibai which were my guesses for the bottom of popularity
This hurts to see Sasaki and Peeps so low on this list, especially after keeping up with it week to week. I'm not surprised that a certain show is at No. 1, but I don't have any interest currently to watch it. But who knows? That may change. I usually try to avoid popular shows until they're done airing because they get ruined for me by the Internet unfortunately. I wonder if others here feel the same?
Anyway, this was a great video and fun to see presented, Arkada! I loved seeing what others collectively think about shows.
The only shows I’m watching this season are:
1: Solo Leveling
6: The Wrong Way to use Healing Magic
23: Bucchigiri (should be higher)
27: Sasaki and Peeps
My personal ranking of pure enjoyment not quality is:
The Wrong Way to use Healing Magic
Bucchigiri
Solo Leveling
Sasaki and Peeps
I cut down the number of shows I watch as they air, mostly because I want to dive into my backlog. Maybe I'll watch shows from a specific decade during specific months, since eventually that will wrap around to the 2020s, and I'll watch the shows I missed.
Weakest tamer below median? Here it is, my first comment on this channel, this series is seriously underrated and a hidden gem, go watch it
This was amazing! I think it would be cool if you did this for every anime season going forward.
I can confirm I sail the high seas and also have a netflix account
Frieren stans are just refreshing wikipedia non stop now
I was very surprised to see Sasaki and peeps that far down... Not really any big surprises beyond that.
Personally I quite like Gekkai Elise. Not quite as much as 7th time loop but close. I do have some affinity with the medical profession, though, and it gets that part down quite well imo.
As for Delicious in Dungeon, I tend to avoid series that are even more about cooking than most anime are anyway, so I might be a bit biased against that show, but generally speaking there is something to be said for the convenience of getting all your seasonal anime in one place EVEN IF you have a Netflix or CR subscription on the side.
And Healing Magic being so far up as it is, might (Can't be sure without all the data) might have something to do with people confusing it with Redo of a Healer from a few seasons ago, which was bad but also quite popular?
I love Villian’s Day Off so much i can’t believe it was that low
Great video and amazing research!
Another thing to mention is that some anime air on RUclips for free (for some regions like South Asia)
yup muse asia
Uh-oh. Fans are def gonna make you do this ranking every season now. lol
Admittedly a good number of these I haven't heard of but that's probably because I don't get much time to watch a show so rather stick to the ones I know I'll like.
I just don’t have hi dive 😂
I've been a fan of yours since 2013
When I saw Weakest Tamer on MAL I sure was surprised. Low member count, a score not worth writing home about... why. Like I won't say it's great, but it might be one of the most interesting shows I am watching from this season. I don't really get why it's so underappreciated.
The title sounding like a generic isekai does not help it at all but it's the anime (excluding Dangers in my Heart, Frieren and A Sign of Affection) that I've been looking forward to the most each week
Because episode 3 is so depressing that I turned it off before it could destroy my hearth.
It's because kids these days don't know how to do field mice math without their cell phone handy.
I really wish that Tristan was still doing his weekly reviews like last year. If only for the sole reason of busting his stones about "Hokkaido Gals", which has been consistently in the Top Ten all season on AniTrendz, which was the site he used last year. Those of us who delighted in teasing him last year about "Ice Guy" know what I'm talking about. While "Hokkaido Gals" did have some fanservice moments like the one he highlighted, they have toned it down since that first episode. I've read many chapters in the manga, so I was really looking forward to it.
The reactions to Ice Guy always made me think of that scene from Ratatouille.
"Did you say popular?"
"Yes, sir."
"I haven't reviewed The Ice Guy and His Cool Female Colleague in years. My last review condemned it to the bargain bin. I said 'it makes no sense for a romance between adults to be a slow burn instead of just asking each other out after five minutes.' How could it be... popular?"
Smash cut to all the josei fans finally getting food and gushing about it
Piracy heavily impacts the online popularity of an anime. Tbh I remember when I was watching Re:Zero on a fairly new piracy website and I saw that the view count beeide season 1 was 8,367 - which i thought was pretty surprising. What I didnt notice was the "k" beside the seven, which meant 8.3 million views which is crazy. Season 2 also had 7.7 million views. That was all just on one site which isn't even that popular.
Also I think I disagree with your statement that sequels are more popular than the original. From my experience that's almost never been the case.
I know this hasn't happened in a few years, but it'd be really cool if you did the review week of awesome again
Don't feel bad Arcada more than half of the shows I am watching this season were below that median line as well
12:31 wait Madoka Magica but mechs so I guess we’ve gone full circle from Bokurano.
Also slightly tangential since you brought it up as a mech show taken in the direction of realism, I would like to recommend the comedic example of a realistic mech show, the all too underrated mech series Dai Guard.
That macbook repair guy said an interesting thing about sailing the high seas, the quality/experience is better... If you download in 4.5Mbps you get 4.5Mbps, so long as you are willing to wait more than 30 minutes to let it download. I watched all my shows while flying and didn't have to pay for inflight data. What subscriptions should I pay for, can you do a video recommending sites that deserve my $$$ in 2024(asking for a friend with scurvy.)
Is ninja Kamui counted in this?
I haven't seen anything from the current season. I'm usually 1-2 seasons behind. I just can't keep up with all of the series I want to watch and I have a problem with watching only once a week. I tend to watch anime in the morning with my breakfast. I watch 1-2 episodes per day, depending on the time I have before work. This way I finish a series in a week or two and don't have time to forget half of it before the end
Boss can you please do a review on Blue Eyed Samurai
I watch a LOT of anime and I still haven't heard of half the titles on this list 😅
I watch most of the list, but yeah some are like... where is that even from lol
I'm sure that appearance of Subaru from Re:Zero in Snack Basue threw it at least a few places up the ranking.
I won't have you put the hates on Hokkaido girls, it's NOT just Fan Service, it's just (So far) a nice little story who happens to have a couple of characters with overly large breasts, as is fat too common these days.
6:18 not getting into a should or shouldn’t argument, but just going to say it is further made a common inevitability when a number of very popular shows don’t have legal options (looking at Fullmetal Alchemist 2003) and that’s not even getting into the more obscure anime that don’t have legal options, so some shows would be impossible to even try to account for without illegal streaming (though those won’t be shows that are airing this season, just thought that point needed to be mentioned given how accessibility of certain shows is becoming a problem, and to point it out for lists doing a more broad analysis than just this season)
Non-current anime also often has a physical release or did at one point. The person who picked up the old FMA 03 DVDs at Value Village won't be counted in streaming metrics when they talk about the show they just watched on social media.
The wrong way to use healing magic is actually a pretty good show.
Also The dangers in my heart is slowly becoming one of the best if not the best romcom ever made.
Ha ha, Sod's Law about "Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic"... better get watching it, it's pretty cool.
Good to see Unwanted Undead Adventurer above the median line 💪
I've been loving weakest tamer, I saw the name of it and was like this sounds like it's gonna be a sleeper hit
I don't like _Solo Leveling._ It just doesn't feel unique enough as a power fantasy show that is sort of an isekai and sort of not. _Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic_ is super interesting because the way the magic works is sort of based on contact. So the show treats and trains the healer to be super fast and athletic because he has to be able to get to as many people as possible in the quickest amount of time.
Yep, Solo Leveling is just mediocre rehashing of common tropes.
I'm not sure the Netflix thing makes as much sense as you think, because I feel that people that watch anime are as likely to have a Crunchyroll subscription, which would nullify the described effect. I could see such an effect happening when something really popular runs on a subscription service that has a small userbase, which leads to a lot of people sailing the high seas (or like when Netflix did the stupid hold back of shows until all episodes were ready).
I also, completely sign the doctor Elise critique, the show seemed interesting and something I should like, but it got heavily overshadowed by 7th time loop and even wrong way to use healing magic that it was just dropped by oversaturation of the type of show and just being the worst one.
i think in this particular video most of my opinions are the exact opposite of yours regarding which shows i liked. i can’t imagine watching sasaki and peeps over wrong way to use healing magic. but i don’t mean that in a bad way, just thought it was an interesting metric. I fell asleep 3 times trying to watch frierun lol it’s so incredibly boring to me after the first episode but you’re sayin it’s AOTY. I appreciate how well said everything was. Really liked this video man!
I don’t think it sucks that you are watching shows that a lot of other people aren't. Because the most popular shows don't need you to talk about them. The less popular ones you talk about get people interested in things they missed.
Only one show I am following was below that median line. So idk, seems like the data has good taste to me.
Because he asked I’ll say that yes I’m a pirate, yes I have a Netflix, yes I am watching delicious in dungeon on Netflix, same with ninja kamui on max
the only anime i have actually seen an ad for is solo leveling, on webtoon ! so i think that could also be a factor in it's clickability!
Would you say your data is USA-centric?
As one of the 3 people who watch Pon no Michi, I unironically watch it for the mahjong (and kaiji references)
I follow a bunch of light novels over at J-Novel Club. One time I decided to do a quick estimate of the popularity of the current series. I wasn't interested in spending lots of time, so I just looked at the Amazon ranking of the most recent volume. And at the time I did this, the #1 was (drum roll):
My Quiet Blacksmith Life in Another World
This was an LN I had dropped after about half a volume, not because it was bad (with one exception), but because it was totally lacking in good. It was just 100% "meh".
The badness exception: swords are *not* made by pouring molten metal into a mold. How come I, who has minimal interest in blacksmithing, knows more about it that someone who chose to write a series of novels with blacksmithing at their core?
I am aware that my ranking metric (Amazon ranking) is quite flawed. Most notably there is a strong recency bias, so volumes released within a couple of weeks before I collected my data would be inflated.
Objection! Hokkaido Gals is not all about the fanservice, latest episode didn't have any. I like it because it's cute and light-hearted and the interaction between the characters is mostly sincere and feels down-to-earth, I don't care it's practically a commercial for Hokkaido 😁
You need to distinguish "best" from "my personal favorite"; "my personal favorite" is about you, but "best" is about the subject, based on objective (although debatable) criteria regarding the subject. People can have sensible disagreement about whether X is good, or good enough, anime; but they cannot disagree about what their favorite anime is; if you say your favorite is X and I say my favorite is Y... we're not disagreeing!
Why did this video not show up in my notifications?
Glad to see there are other people still watching Fire Hunter! It's such an interesting story and a wonderful mixture of Fantasy and Sci-fi, with plenty of genuinely likeable characters. The animation is definitely a pity, but you'd hope the rest could captivate and more than make up for that lacking
I actually like the animation style, guess I am weird.
Please make a video on 'Grimgar of Fantasy and Ash' Anime
If the site that won't be mentioned is the one I think it is, it actually tracks how many people have bookmarked a particular series.
#1 with rare exception is One Piece.
I...kind of like Snack Basue :D
I thought you where trying to pic kof all time at first and was super confused
Come on! The wrong way to use healing magic has been a very delightful surprise on so many levels. Of course not as good as 7th time loop, or Sign of Affection - but it has bother me that so few people that I follow watch or talk about the show. A very good execution on some common tropes with just enought twist here and there to not make it completely tropey.
On the other hand... I really don't vibe with Solo Levelling... I read a lot of the manhwa and it seemed awesome, but the adaptation has been... meh; every time someone older starts talking politics or economics I just skip ahead.
Nice video GR
Sengoku Youko being so low is such a tragedy. It's probably one of the better shows of the season.
Yeah... poor Sakugan.....
What shows have English dubs and where are they on the list?
Obviously im gonna click the video seeing sung jin woo in the thumbnail
Probably due to how you got your data, it is more oriented to being popular on the west?
Please don’t disregard Hokkaido gals as mainly a fanservice show. Yes it has some of it, but it’s mainly cute/wholesome. The art is surprisingly good and the songs are 🔥 it’s a well produced show! And just like the manga, it highlights different aspects of Hokkaido in each episode, which is insightful to anyone studying Japan/Japanese. The opening song also uses Hokkaido dialect, etc.
that data is cherry picked to all hell. for starters it covers only english speakers.
Ah yes, because clearly an English language youtube channel should be covering Hindi dubs.
@@logansmall5148 Not exactly, but I think it's a huge disservice when the original poster (Miles) pointed this out but Arkada didn't, more so considering Japan and China being one of the largest markets for anime.
Frieren is so good man, i need my weekly wholesome elf grandma fix
Good for you. I think anytime Frieren is on screen it’s boring
ARKADAAAA IVE MISSED YOUUU
I don't understand why the 2nd half of a two cour anime is treated differently when the cours are split. Who cares if they are consecutive?
The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic is my pleasant surprise of the season. It feels like such a friendly isekai compared to most other examples from the last few years. When you have a group of people get isekai'd, usually the MC will become a lone wolf and not interact with the other people in the group a la Arifureta. However, in Healing Magic the friendship between the three main characters feels so real, and the MC has positivity without slipping into naivety.
It's been okay so far. I would've preferred if the trio were friends beforehand. It looked liked the day they got teleported was the first time they spoke to each other. The girl wanted to stay there way too quickly. It feels like most isekai miss the point besides Jobless Reincarnation.
I wouldn't use Arifureta as an example... I mean he wasn't hanging out with the "main group" because one of them tried to murder him after all...
I wonder how arkada would react to the popularity of the 100 girlfriends show
I started watching The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic because it had a high view count on a pirate site and I wanted to see what the fuss was about.
It’s mid, so I’m just as confused as you are.
