What is everyone's most-enjoyed show so far this season? [Summer 2024]
Wondering what people (that are still active here) are enjoying most this Summer 2024 in the anime world!
Personally, I've easily burned through new episodes of Pseudo-Harem thanks to the main female lead's charisma and range, as well as the slow burn of Days with my Step-Sister's mature take on the 'my parent married your parent and now we're related!' genre that's fetishized in a lot of anime.
So, anime-watchers of lemmy.ml, what has your attention currently?
I fell in love with Spice and Wolf. I can't explain it but for me it has the same comfort vibe as Frieren.
I unfortunately am not able to watch current shows as they air, but the latest one I saw was Kaiju No. 8 which I believe came out earlier this year. It was pretty good, and I hope they do season 2 soon.
even if its an unpopular opinion: slime season 3. It's a transition season with a lot of meeting and not a lot of action but it's ok because they are preparing for season 4 and the meetings are pleasant to watch.
I wish I could be in meetings that productive and pleasant ;_;
For me it's Makeine and NieR Automata
I absolutely love the animation quality of Makeine
Yeah what's with that? It's genuinely taken a back by the little details they put ( hair twirling didn't remember who, Komari leg swing when she sit at the table ). I tried watching other series they did but not one have the same treatments ( or maybe I just don't interested in the series)
I love slice of life / silly comedy with romance here and there. When I watch this it's giving me Seitokai Yakuindomo vibe but with better animation and interaction. Good stuff.
Same. Giri Harem and Alya-san are also pretty good
I suppose Nokotan wins by default for me. Everything else I've watched feels like slow parts of things I've already read the manga for.
It's fun, the songs are good, and I don't have to work too hard to get the puns.
It took me like four episodes to realize
spoiler
"notsu" is an anagram of "tsuno"
I should clarify... I myself do not get the puns, moreso they are quickly searchable, unlike things like puns about kanji or cultural references.
If you're able to figure them out on your own, you're well ahead of me! 😁
Dead dead demons is cool, of course new Demon slayer eps, Spy X Family, Alya sometimes hides her feelings in Russian.
I've been enjoying The Elusive Samurai for the last month or so. It's pretty great.
I think it technically counts as Spring, but Dead Dead Demons Dededede Destruction has me enraptured.
But if we're talking about Summer alone, hands down, Dungeon People.
Enjoyed Darling in the Franxx last month, but the second season was a bit disappointing. Just now discovering Jujutsu Kaisen, and that’s a lot of fun!
Alya-san and nokotan! :D
As we are certified trash people, Shikanoko Nokonoko Koshitantan. It's absolutely stupid but we love it.
We've been watching a lot of "comfort" shows this season. As others have mentioned, Slime S3 is like the comfort anime of board room meetings - lots of exposition, but it is moving things along and these characters have all been well established already so it's like hanging out with friends.
Laid-back Camp S3 was decidedly light on "Camp" but really brought its "Laid-back" game.
Dead Dead Demon's Dededede Destruction is a weird mix of Satoshi Kon, Mamoru Oshii, and slice-of-life that we're totally into. It also reminds us a bit of last year's amazing Heavenly Delusion (when is that getting another season!?)
Just started the most recent Demon Slayer arc, looks good so far, and the new Netflix season of Kimi ni Todoke, which is excellent even if we keep forgetting each episode is an hour long.
I got back into one piece and watched from thriller bark to dress Rosa and my god is it the best thing ever!
Most discussions are happening on the other instance that you can find on join-lemmy.org under art.
I have been enjoying Dungeon people and Oshi no ko S2
Oshi no Ko S2 has been satisfying so far. This has been a really bleh season of anime overall for me. Heavy fan service and/or a step away from outright hentai will keep me from watching something and this summer has felt like a lot of fetishy stuff. And since most shows revolve around teens I just can't watch that stuff.
