Welcome to the weekly Anime of the Week Discussion Thread! Each week, we're here to discuss various older anime series. Today we are discussing…

https://preview.redd.it/s53zswd9wlfg1.png?width=1024&format=png&auto=webp&s=8720dc2df730f1e862782c8bbfc58e5fea2f77f9

Calamities are plaguing the land of Earthsea and dragons have been seen fighting above the clouds—something which has never happened before. Sparrowhawk, a powerful Archmage, sets out to uncover the mystery behind these concerning events and meets Prince Arren along the way. Arren is the fugitive heir to the Kingdom of Enlad and a seemingly quiet and distressed lad. Wandering aimlessly in an attempt to escape the dark presence haunting him, he decides to tag along Sparrowhawk on his journey.

However, their arrival in the seaside settlement of Hort Town is met with unexpected trouble—Lord Cob, a powerful evil wizard obsessed with eternal life, stands in their way. Forced to confront him, the pair joins forces with Tenar—an old friend of Sparrowhawk—and Therru, the ill-fated orphan girl she took in. But the enemy's cunning hobby of manipulating emotions may just prove to be catastrophic for the young prince.

Set in a magical world, Ged Senki goes beyond the classical battle between the forces of good and evil, as it explores the inner battles of the heart.

We have our two finalists!

Coming from the left is your Winter Semi-Finalist Shisui from The Apothecary Diaries!

Coming from the right is your Fall Champion, Reze from Chainsaw Man!

This is the first annual salt final in which both are girls premiere in a sequel and both would make history to become the first girl to premiere in a sequel and win the annual salt.

Only one seasonal semi-finalist (Chika Fujiwara) has entered the annual salt final. Would Shisui break the curse and unite with her best friend Maomao to enter the fall of fame for the annual salt and make the apothecary diaries the first series to win two annual salts?

Reversing the momentum tremendously in the semi-final to beat “Bocchi the witch” to reach the final, Reze has taken revenge for the Chainsaw Man series for the unforgettable loss to the pink Bocchi, Would she finish her revenge story to become the first girl ever to get an annual win who premieres in a movie and make Chainsaw Man become the first series to not win the annual salt with its first season but make a comeback with its sequel?

But only one could lift r/anime ’s scepter and trophy for the title of best girl of 2025… (or maybe both if somehow the stars mysteriously align again!)

The final battle draws near, making your choice with your vote!
