What Current Anime Are You Watching Version v4.0

[Stampeed Valkyrie]

going through my list from Winter 2025 we have some more wrapups..

ReZero S3..    Mixed on this one,  only 16 episodes long and the hiatus between episodes 58 and 59 really threw me off.    I enjoyed it,  but it was not as good as previous seasons.  And though as I am being told otherwise I think much content was cut from this arc.   I realize this is one of the shorter of the ReZero arcs there is some very lore related filler that I think was skipped or glossed over.   I really should give S3 a rewatch as I am told that some of my issues were in S3.    This is an example of knowing the LNs and WNs comes back and bites you in the a$$ when you start getting all the adaptations jumbled together..    *cough* utawarerumono *cough*

Nihon e Youkoso Elf-san -  I enjoyed this series,  kind of a reverse isekai and was a very pleasant watch.   Episode 12 kinda leaves the impression that this will be a 1 cour anime... which is sad as this was superior to pretty much all but maybe ReZero for Winter 2025.    And other series of much lesser merit are getting a 2nd season.     They never even got into the dungeon they discovered and plenty of content for a S2.     We can only hope for S2.

 

Also discovered that Quintuplets got some TV specials that I was unaware of..  so gave them a go.

Go-toubun no Hanayome 1st TV Specials..  2 episodes takes place during the last 6 months of High School, and prior to the Movie.   This one fills in some of the gaps about the plot and specifically the Quintuplet he chose..

Go-toubun no Hanayome * 2nd TV Specials..  2 episodes that take place AFTER the movie.   Covers a Honeymoon Trip with all the Quintuplets to Hawaii.   IMO the weaker of the 2 specials and abit of letdown because he and  *his choice* are married at this point and its still like High School.    Just doesn't feel like a natural progression with the 2nd episode throwing any progress away by wasting it on a silly plot.   Each of the quintuplets impersonate Nino to help an english speaking young girl hookup with a Japanese classmate with JP VAs acting in english poorly.     That 2nd episode was painful TBH.

I agree 100% about Elf.  I am a book reader so I know there is plenty more.

Solo Leveling season 2: GIVE ME SEASON 3 TODAY!  I didn't read the source material and I avoided spoilers all season long.  Season 2 was a delight, start to finish.  And that opening theme song is a banger.

Was with my  father & we recently saw almost all the CG Saint Seiya on Netflix (final 2 left) & was shocked that Shun was now a woman as both the original manga &anime Shun is a man. However i will admit the dub cast is much better than the edited DIC dub that barley anyone remembers & is lost media. i know its not this season as someone who rarely watches modern anime anything within in the past decade is current to me.
