I loved Isekai but I feel like they have oversaturated that genre. I feel like every new anime is a Isekai excited to see the winter anime and what comes of that.
Great video, will try to watch your number one.
I don't blame you about your #1 because mine is boukyaku battery ⚾️
No one watched the elusive samurai?
Time for the yearly weeb cringe review
Yeah! The all guys mixer anime was one of my favorites this season and Tonari no Yokai was my favorite of the year. Love hearing someone who appreciates my under-loved faves
I totally understand not giving dandaran the #1 spot. It's a fun time in a lot of ways, just like Spy X Family, but also like Spy X Family, it's not my #1 in all things and it didnt hit me as hard or personally as, for example, Yokai did
It amazes me just how many people believe that the Catholic Church considered heliocentricity to be some sort of heresy when it bankrolled many of the astronomers who considered it to be true. There was no binding teaching on the matter at all. The Pope's family personally funded Galileo. There is so much evidence against this myth.
The wrong way to use healing magic isnt anywhere on your list which make me a bit upset but im not here to cause a stink about it just wanted to voice my opinion
If I absolutely cannot stand FLCL, will I enjoy Dandadan?
This video had a ton of personality and I really appreciate that. It might even be enough to finally push me to watch Frieren. Would I still put DanDaDan as My (not objective but subjective) number 1? Probably. But I also wasn't interested in any of the top three GR mentioned. Though Orb would be really cool if the realism of the story [religion/cults holding back the human civilization] wasn't too real and super depressing for me to handle.
As an Old Fart, Dandadan's Ultraman and tokusatsu callbacks really resonated with me. For those who don't know, the 1966 Ultraman series was shown in the after-school slot in many US towns and cities from 1966 until the mid 1970's. I grew up on it and various "man in rubber suit" monster movies (tokusatsu)*.
Maybe I will try to go back to and finish Kaiju No. 8, but I found the segments where the main character gets insecure and acts like a child really, really annoying. That is the kind of element that I found funny when I was much younger but now just wince when it happens.
* One of my favorite terms for tokusatsu is "Suit-imation". You know, like "animation", but with characters in rubber suits.
Where is isura my favourite anime of the year
As a re zero fanboy I just wanted to say I watched this after avoiding being poisoned by looking at the comments and your take on season 3 is just funny in a good way 😅 yes, people complain about "waifu wars" but it's so obvious your jokes there are well intentioned and not writing the show off!!! So I appreciate that tbh. Serious takes on re zero are done to death after all so who wouldn't appreciate a rem joke other than who is rem? 😭😭😭
ANYWAY! Please know that Rem is a pivotal part of EVERY re zero arc, despite what people say. Subaru's entire character arc here is because of the grief over her, in all pf season 3 this will be the case.
The problem is when people cynically try to guess the author's motivations. Tappei wrote arcs 1-4 very quickly and audience reception definitely didn't motivate Rem's coma. He also didn't demote her to a side character.
Okay slightly spoilery but I'll try to be completely vague about it so you can't predict any of it: I love Rem's character and how she's handled. In arc 3 you see Emilia confront Subaru's putting her on a pedestal, but Rem never does that, she only goes up in Subaru's eyes. So when she's gone from everyone's memories and in a coma, Subaru's idealised version of her essentially canot be challenged. Although she called him her hero, she's more like one than he is because noone can fact check or get to understand her outside of his perspective. So what do you think will happen when she wakes up? I'm not really spoiling because everyone assumes she will and that's THE goal of Subaru in Emilia camp right now(which kind of takes over from any royal selection stuff since Subaru is obviously obsessed with getting Rem back).
Do you think this will end happily? What about Emilia's future trial where she sees a Rem she can't remember holding Subaru's hand. She says she believes prayers are meant for asking for forgiveness. Why is she talking about forgiveness in such an ominous way? Rem's future arc is being set up right now, so if you're a Rem fan, forget about romance and focus on her character because it's foreshadowing her getting more focus.
Always appreciate you including non binary people in your outros btw! 💖💖💖 I respect you a lot just for that.
What your number one slot was going to be was throwing me for a loop until the honorable mention. And I really do agree with you about anime that are technically better anime than this one existing. But that number one also had a premise and concept that I really had an interest in, and that was enough for it to separate it from the rest of the pack.
Here’s to 2024 🎉
Imagine feeling like you need to call yourself a "contrarian" for having and expressing totally reasonable opinions and preferences about– checks notes— anime of all things. Fun video dude :3 I was thinking about checking out Dungeon People and might make a point of it now before Winter anime pick up.
Sometimes, it's not the shows that you don't like that get to you. It's the ones you don't understand.
I gave the first episode of Delicious in Dungeon a positive review, but acknowledged that I wasn't going to watch episode 2 as it was absolutely not the show for me. I wanted to beat the leads over the head with a hammer. The show may have stakes, but I felt that the first episode had an obnoxious lack of urgency given its premise, and instead turned into a cooking show… for entirely imaginary foods.
Even knowing what happens later, I can't wrap my head around the show's appeal. I wish I understood it, but I don't.
Dungeon Meshi’s anime adapted just about half the manga, I think season 2 will be able to do it really well, great story
The hugest of curve balls this year! I though Orb would be number 1
4:30–5:13 is honestly FACTS I GOTTA STEAL THIS! lmao. Dandadan is good but lets not go SO FAR we start sayin blasphemy to the goats lol. I'm SO GLAD u mention orb cu like nobody is talkin bout it & it jus surprises me the further it goes & I've loved it since prob ep 1 but I'll say more like ep 2-3 to be safe lol. I think when/if I get to bartender I'll do the old 1 like u suggest thx for the help on that. I am now surprisingly interested in dungeon ppl thx ig….
Dungeon people definitely was one of my top for 2024
Top of my list are dandadan, one piece fan letter, and dungeon meshi
I've heard a lot of good reviews for orb.. I'm yet to watch it. However, I haven't really heard anything about Dungeon people before. So excited to see it
Not me thinking solo leveling was number one ….I AM SHOCK !
Im so disappointed about oshi no ko..
It's "its master" right?
