And we’re back with round two! You can learn a bit more about our system in part 1, but for now lets jump right in!

u/Lilyapd – Must Watch
It’s easy to say that Akane-Banashi was going to be a stand-out of the season when you have the benefit of having read the manga, and when it comes to an art-form like Rakugo it’s just as easy to say that having animation, music, and voice acting should automatically elevate any story that focuses on it. So when the show does achieve all that it feels a little unfair that I’m saying something so obvious. But the show did do all that.
As a hotly anticipated Shounen Jump adaptation, Akane-Banashi blasts off with aplomb. With all of the charm of these opening episodes dependent on Akane’s likeability, there’s a decent amount of pressure to showcase why she’s so compelling and the picture painted of a bold, brash, hot-head with pep in her step and conviction in her heart is immediately captivating. The archetypal shounen hero with a lot to learn and a lot to bring to the table competing for revenge and honor.
The animation quality is about average mixing in a lot of exaggerated facial expressions. When it comes to the Rakugo performances themselves, there’s more care taken to show the emotions in the performer’s face with a particular focus on the eyes. Through that considered care, it feels like the series is trying its best to let the animation serve the voice acting rather than the other way around which makes for a show that’s very easy to sink into and do its thing for 20 minutes.

Yeah, this is Shonen.
The hot-blooded main character, the somewhat contrived setup, the constant flashbacks, the even more constant explaining of what other characters are doing – Akane-banashi is, for better or for worse, unapologetic shonen.
So as long as you don't hate Shonen – go for it! Sure, Akane-banashi is not a serious drama about the survival of japanese comedic theater and its endurance through time like Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu, nor is it a show full of ordinary dialogue so that viewers can fully enjoy how cute the girls are social commentary of then-current Japanese society, like Joshiraku. However, as long as you don't expect these things, but accept from the get-go that you will get Shonen, you will have a blast.
Akane as a protagonist is amazingly easy to root for, the side cast are all likeable as well, the production values are great and you do learn about Rakugo as an art form!
If there is one criticism I have so far is that the show has yet to take advantage of being set in the modern age. So far, all performers have done classic Rakugo stories, and while that is nice, the Joshiraku Drama CDs had great, modern versions/parodies of classic stories like 2-Dmu and Time-Leap Soda, and it’d be fascinating to see the creative process of characters coming up with their own Rakugo stories. Then again, maybe this isn’t a thing I should have ever expected – but it’s not like Akane-banashi has much to criticize. Show’s good!

u/DrJWilson – Must Watch
Agents of the Four Seasons, much like modern day Japan, is an eclectic smattering of both old and new. On one hand, the show’s traditional elements are evident. Character designs evoke the elegant dress of the Edo period, kimonos and katanas abound. However, you’ll also see, say, business suits, or… helicopters. This juxtaposition and reckoning of the value of ritual as opposed to modern day trappings is something I find uniquely compelling.
Baked into the premise is another interesting question—how do you contend with the weight of responsibility? From what we’ve seen thus far, there’s been an unsettling feeling of sacrifice. The titular “Agents of the Four Seasons” did not choose their miraculous talents, but nonetheless are born as cogs in the system. Watching this show is witnessing how that fact affects their philosophies and relationships. At the end of the day, this is a character study, and the characters presented so far offer a lot in terms of exploring the weight of expectation from a variety of perspectives.
Obviously such a character-focused show depends on the strength of its cast, and to that I say—have you seen Hinagiku? Surely someone so adorable deserves your time. Her mysterious past (and the trauma that comes with it), combined with her gentle nature, deliver a nuanced performance that is gratifying to watch. The same goes for her loyal retainer, Sakura, as well as the other agents dealing with their own particular circumstances. The result? A meditative show balancing beautiful introspective moments viscerally interrupted with violent reality.
u/Lilyapd – Watch it
I’m very tempted to leave this at ‘you should at least watch the first episode to see the splendiferous sequence of spring’s return’, but as impressive and emotional as that sequence is I’m inclined to believe there’s as much going on under the hood as there is over it. The unique modern fantasy setting is immediately captivating, the idea of bureaucratising the seasons carries with it a sort of mundane horror that the series is very much aware of and seems to be playing towards.
In all that there’s a great many emotions imbued into these opening episodes, the spring characters wearing those emotions openly and the winter ones holding them tight creates a great contrast as we anticipate their inevitable meeting. This wonderful package is then wrapped up in a bow of gorgeous animation, one that is able to give the big moments the needed gravitas while also giving great detail to the smaller ones.
It’s difficult to say with certainty if this first arc will blossom fully, and the third episode felt a little rushed in exploring the Summer Agent’s deal, but I do have a good amount of faith in the series we’ve gotten so far. Watch it if it sounds even a little bit interesting to you, though you should at least watch the first episode to see the splendiferous sequence of spring’s return.

u/Taiboss – Consider it
"Are they lovers?"
"Worse, they're fucking stupid."
If the premise as written in summaries makes you think you'll get that early part of Kaguya-sama with the mind games back – sorry, no. While that is a thing within the first episode, it is abandoned even quicker than in Kaguya-sama and neither Yukiya nor Miku are genius chessmasters. No, this is a down-to-earth childhood friend romcom.
The thing is, there's something refreshingly realistic in childhood friend romances like this one – it is not all about the romance. The two main characters are generally close and genuinely comfortable with each other. They trust each other. They know each other! Not everything has to be about "Are they in love with me?!?!" All of that means they feel a lot less embarrassment when interacting with each other and there's not a lot of cring- Well. There’s a bit of cringe, but the sincere kind of cringe.
These are two teenagers hopelessly in love with each other that aren't quite convinced the other person seriously reciprocates. A classic set-up, but both are likeable, there are no love triangles (let alone harems) involved, and it's just really cute all around. A must watch for romcom lovers, though others should think twice.
u/Protractror – Consider It
The rules of the titular love game are simple. If either party blushes when the other says “I love you”, then they lose. But this is one of those rules like travelling in the NBA where the refs are never going to call it. These two dweebs won't stop blushing! If they actually followed the rules this show would have ended before their first commercial break.
It left a bad taste in my mouth to set up a contrived premise and history between our two leads and seemingly not care about following it at all. And if I had ranked this show after one episode it would have been an easy drop. But this show isn’t really about the game, the game is just a vehicle to show the feelings of the lovers. They’re deeply in love, flustered at all times, and so overwhelmed they don’t realize how silly it all is. When you look past the odd framing, you’re left with a romance that has a bit of charm to it.
Love Game also does a great job at selling that the leads are a real childhood friend duo. They have chemistry, they have history, and they have the problematic tendency of making me feel like a dinosaur as their childhood selves are gaming on a nintendo switch. I really don’t care who wins this dumb game they are playing, but I wish them the best.

u/Taiboss – Watch it
If you ever wanted a girl to sing a duet with Nikola Tesla, here’s your show!
Ghost Concert, to me, is one of the shows that showcases anime’s greatest strength – sincerity. It is a bit of a silly and convoluted premise, isn’t it? In a near future where singing gets you killed by an omnipresent AI, a young girl channels the ghost of and is friends with Cleopetra and through her, Caesar and Marcus Antonius (I guess they formed a throuple in the afterlife?), in order to pacify ghosts of famous people from history. Being the only person able to do that makes her an asset for an organization trying to… protect the afterlife from being exploited and destroy the anti-music AI at the same time? Not quite clear yet. Anyway, on paper it shouldn’t work (much like how Petals of Reincarnation does not work), and if you read the episode threads, it didn’t for quite a few people.
But somehow it does for me. The likeable characters, the good music and the, as mentioned, sincere approach just wanna make me keep watching. Story-wise, the show’s exposition and character introduction so far have been efficient and largely organic. It makes me have faith that there is a plan, and that the creators will find a way to tie together all parts properly, eventually. I’m optimistic.
So yeah, definitely give this one a try, especially if you liked Symphogear and Fate Illya. Don’t write it off purely on the premise.
u/MSchukles – Consider It/ Drop It
Imagine you're fighting Nikola Tesla. Or maybe Cleopatra. What do you think your finishing move would be? If you said, "A duet about their life and aspirations neatly packed in a 1 minute MV,” then this here is the anime for you. Ghost Concert has a lot of problems, but false advertising isn't one of them. There are ghosts and there are concerts. There is also a seemingly omnipresent AI, a society where music not created by said AI could get you killed, shadowy organizations recruiting magical girls and atrocious parking laws. Therefore, it is a show not without ideas.
But how much is too much? A rushed plot, a hand-wavy approach to its power systems, whiplash from genre changes, and dull characters strive to bring this show down to something less than the sum of its parts. One ends each episode with a sense of how much better it could've been. Not to say it doesn't have its positives, though. Great scores, good animation, and an intriguing plot make you want to look forward to the next episode.
Whether it's because of a morbid curiosity of how much they are gonna mess this up or the enthusiasm to see how well they're gonna stick the landing, you definitely want to give this show a five-episode chance.

u/ValkyrieCain9 – Watch it
You can never fault a story for doing exactly what it says on the box and this anime does just that. Go for it, Nakamura-kun is a fun, lighthearted and colourful high-school romcom with all your typical tropes seen in the context of a BL. But like with all rom-com/slice-of-life stories, the strengths lie in the characters, and here that is with Nakamura. His endearing, slightly awkward nature carries the show as you quickly find yourself rooting for him, as the title suggests. What is particularly sweet is that most of his romantic efforts are aimed at trying to simply form a friendship with his crush Hirose, something which no matter the gender will always be relatable. Alongside this is the 80s-inspired art style and city-pop ED soundtrack which gives the show a dreamy, nostalgic feel.
u/Protractror – Consider it
I want to like Go for It, Nakamura-kun so much more than I actually do. On paper, it’s everything I’m looking for. A stylistic throwback to works like Rumiko Takahashi’s romcoms with a focus on BL makes for wonderful nostalgia that still brings something new to the table. And when you can live in that premise, particularly in its stellar OP and EDs, it really shines. But sadly, after you come up with an idea, you do still have to make the show.
Nakamura struggles with both its comedy and romance. I enjoyed how blunt Nakamura was, referring to himself as a “shy, gay kid”. However, his romance with the dreamy Hirose leaves much to be desired. They have no chemistry, they barely know each other, and Nakamura mostly just comes up with hare-brained schemes to try and talk to him. It’s the type of shallow romance a better show would present as flawed, but played straight.
Comedically it fares slightly better, but its visual similarity to Takahashi’s stronger works does it no favors. I can’t help but find Nakamura’s class, and the world as a whole, rather bland. Still, if you’re looking for something like Urusei Yatsura this might be the closest looking show in the past 2 years since the reboot finished. Well, other than the still ongoing Ranma reboot. Or maybe the currently airing Mao… at what point is nostalgia the wrong word and Nakamura is just a part of the zeitgeist? Either way, I can’t entirely discount the show. It might not be as funny or charming as its peers, but I do get the feeling that it will shine the more it leans into what makes it special.

u/LittleIslander – Consider It
The best thing The Ramparts of Ice has going for it is its introverted protagonist, Hikawa Koyuki. Depictions of her trauma can feel hamfisted, to be sure. But she works really well in a comedic role, constantly trying to decipher whatever social situation she finds herself in. Her quainter scenes of self-reflection can be quite earnest, and it’s not hard to find effective smaller moments of characterization. The contrast of the cold and intimidating person people see and the awkward, laid-back personality shown in her inner monologue makes for an obvious premise, and the moments that bring out her smile are heartwarming. I could see Koyun as the lead of a great show.
Unfortunately, the show appears to think it’s a strong four-man ensemble. Miki has a fun dynamic with Koyun but shows little desire to escape from the cookie-cutter best-friend mold and has done little to explore the potential of her setup beyond being an intermediary for Minato’s plot. Yota has it even worse, and has thusfar offered nothing but a generically friendly personality. That leaves Minato to carry the weight, but he tries to be both a mysterious outsider that puts us on edge through Koyun’s eyes and a sympathetic, layered character we follow through his own perspective and fails to interest as either.
While The Ramparts of Ice should be an easy slam dunk off the heels of Polar Opposites and in a season lacking dramatic romance competition, it may leave even romance fans asking where exactly four episodes of screentime went.
u/voidembracedwitch – Drop It
The Ramparts of Ice left me (frustratingly in line with its title) rather cold. The setup for a teen drama / romance centered around protagonist Hikawa's tendency to socially distance herself from her peers—usually only glaring at them when they try to approach her—as a result of being bullied in middle school has potential. However, the moment to moment execution isn't one I could warm up to.
The OP feels like a perfect metaphor for the production as a whole; it has charming introductions for the cast, yet the last quarter leading up to the title card completely flatlines with a limp, uninspired montage to reach 90 seconds of footage. Ramparts has ambitions visually, but are held back by it constantly running out of juice. Take, for example, the usage of simplified chibi designs: there are some creative applications, but just as often their presence adds little to scenes other than to interrupt their rhythm, and their appeal wears thin quickly as a result.
Similarly frustrating are the dark void spaces used for introspection. On the positive side, striking use of close-ups in these voids can help humanize the cast more. In contrast, the visual metaphors—the series' namesake that are Hikawa's ice barriers as well as co-lead Minato's locks, keys and chains—are downright garish uses of CG that shatter any sense of immersion. Where all of Ramparts' obvious shortcomings leave me is in a spot where I can't in good conscience recommend it.

u/voidembracedwitch – Consider It
In fairness to Deamons of the Shadow Realm, it has quite a bit going for it. Its character designs with their unmissable similarities to the last time studio Bones was in charge of adapting a Hiromu Arakawa action manga—that little known show called Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood—are undeniably charming, as are the personalities attached to them. And the story's setup promising to explore complicated, messy familial circumstances surrounding twins Yuru and Asa as well as larger mysteries to be unearthed about the isolated mountain village they grew up in undeniably has potential.
However, beyond the intriguing premiere, I'm noticeably less sold on the overall package since then. The next two episodes that force Yuru, the older brother, to become the new master of two deamons (spirits, monsters, etc able to form bonds with people) and leave his hometown meanwhile were less than enthralling. They mainly focus on Yuru's culture shock in places where his combative attitude and experience hunting wildlife aren't all that useful as well as lighthearted comedic banter with his companions. Slower parts and downtime have their place, but what was on display here didn't feel particularly inspired and, worse, the change in scenery made shortcomings in backgrounds and compositing of 3DCG elements much more noticeable. Sorry for staying vague—I don't want to ruin anyone's blind experience here.
Deamons is fine enough to watch, but in the 4 episodes I watched at the time of writing it has yet to carve out a strong niche in the seasonal roster. Unless you really want another Bones battle shounen besides Marriagetoxin, you can probably do better.
u/WaterDarkE – Consider It
Having watched the first three episodes, I would say I am not that impressed as I feel rather bored. Maybe it's just me, but I don’t find the premise to be that gripping even if some parts do seem somewhat interesting. The whole prophesied twins destined to destroy the world and the siblings going to be at odds with each other feels generic even with paired supernatural beings added to the mix. The pacing is going at a solid pace, but is on the slow end which may be a deterrent for some prospective watchers. At the very least, the visuals hold up as it's animated by Bones and retain the mangaka’s signature style.
Besides my gripes, what does somewhat interest me is why the main character and his sister were separated at a young age, enough that the main character is left behind in a village that protects him and his parents and his sister escape to the outside world. This background will most likely be revealed at some point. But besides the underlying mystery, the current human cast isn’t too memorable and the overall hook to get watchers interested isn’t that gripping. You may be better off watching something else for a better use of your time.

u/SiLeNTxTrYH4Rd – Drop It
Mistress Kanan sets itself up with a recycled premise from other rom-coms of someone who thinks very highly of themself, and in this case, has the power to back it up, being brought down to reality when confronted with even the most micro amounts of romance in their life. There really isn't too much that the show does to set itself apart from other romances, aside from how much it leans into the ecchi side of the spectrum with its devilishly fun character designs, and that's exactly why you shouldn't watch the show. It really boils down to the demon queen becoming domesticated, and devolves into generic fanservice slop, with endless exaggerations that are voiced by Aoi Koga, which can either be a massive draw or a big deterrence.
Kanan is the type of show where, if you enjoy the main character, you will find it to be tolerable, but otherwise there is so little left for a viewer to latch onto. The main guy sorta stands out against a sea of nothingburger male romance protagonists as one that is very much in love with the protagonist and isn't afraid to let that be known, but as a character, he doesn't really have any depth. This is also the same for the other main character, thus far being Ami, Kanan's maid, who does a good job at stoking the flames of their relationship to her amusement, but doesn't offer anything for herself.
u/cheezemansam – Consider It
The demon princess Kanan sets out into the human world to “devour” an unwitting human male. She fails immediately because the human male in question is, to use the parlance of our species, ‘down to clown’. His ambient degeneracy isn’t very interesting though, Kanan is the star; he is just the trampoline for her to bounce off of. Good news though, Kanan-sama is voiced by Aoi Koga, and she voiced Kaguya. Do you like Kaguya’s voice? If you liked her there, you will like her here.
What is the appeal of this show? The aesthetic-affective phenomenon wherein a character's appeal is generated by the delta between two opposing registers of personality. Smug and flustered. Cold and warm. Composed and absolutely, comprehensively, molecularly unraveled. Gap moe. Do you like it when cute, otherwise smug girls erotically squeal with embarrassment at the thought of an indirect kiss? That is this show. You will like this.
In one of the early scenes Kanan’s busty tanned-skinned elf maid assertively pushes her onto the couch before “educating” her on a human mating ritual, tenderly nibbling on her ear. Do you want to hear the specific moment where she becomes, functionally, a small wet animal on a piece of furniture? Hell yea! Who doesn’t want that?
Should you watch it? Read the previous paragraph again. That ten second sequence justifies the entire production budget. If you have read this far and you are not already surreptitiously opening a second browser tab, then I cannot help you. I am a critic, not a missionary.

u/tehoncomingstorm97 – Do Not Watch
Coming into this season, I planned to give this a go as the premise seemed to be somewhat intriguing – but all my interest in the show stops right there after two eps for this SYWI. Many people have noted accurately by now that there are so many holes in the story presentation that it’s difficult to piece together a purpose which is worthwhile to meet the premise. Not unlike the protagonist's “thief” ability and the unending character name drops, the show’s preaching of identifying innate talents has stolen names from the past in an attempt to sound cool or give itself significance of its own, and ended up having nothing to speak for itself.
The failure of a story, let alone even building a setting for that story to take place in, is further betrayed by blocky character animation and designs, with a hideous colour palette to match. There is no cohesive design goal in place with any content here, and it makes way for an eyesore. Another offender in the production is the inability for scene direction to allow for any tension to be maintained at all, with conflicts resolving near-instantly with the occasional “cinematic” framing added for ineffectual punch.
This show might not be powerpoint-levels of animation, but I certainly have watched powerpoints with more character and energy.
u/AniMayor – Watch It
If you’re an enjoyer of “so bad it’s good” anime then you have got to check this out! It hits that perfect combination of being so edgy, so incompetently structured, so awkward looking, yet taking itself so seriously that it is a non-stop laughfest.
It’s basically an extra edgy Fate/ rip-off that does away with the master/servant thing in favour of characters using the “Talents” of their ancestors directly. But don’t expect any sort of logic or nuance to that – it’s the <<you’re descended from a clockmaker, so you can summon magic hurricanes>> sort of anime logic here. Likewise, the main character is a hilarious rendition of a classic angsty and delusional teenage boy whose only emotion is edge, and there’s even a shoddy attempt at replicating the visual style of Monogatari to laugh at.
My favourite part is how the whole show revolves around characters that have to slice their own necks with a knife to activate their superpowers but even though that’s the signature visual element of the show they can’t bring themselves to depict it with any sort of gore, and the magical red petals effect that it leaves is always just the same basic GIF blatantly layered on top of the character animation.
Make no mistake, this is not a “turn your brain off anime”. This is one you actively watch and dissect, the better to notice every shoddy detail and every terrible writing choice, so you can have a wonderful time laughing uproariously at them.

u/SSjjlex – Consider It
Remember With You and the Rain from a couple seasons back? The Tanuki Dog in that was such a riot but really helped blend the Comedy with the Slice of Life of that anime. How about Kinoko Inu from a couple more seasons before that? That Mushroom Pup was a bit more chaotic but helped serve a similar purpose and whilst being equally as cute to watch. Coincidentally, both of these little creatures had the gift of literacy, that is, the ability to quickly pull up signs to communicate their thoughts and desires in short snippets of text. It's just a bit unfortunate that they could never talk to us directly.
Now what if we did give them the gift of speech? Aaaaand also happened to make them a 6 foot tall bipedal Russian "bird" that speaks with a strange accent and a high-pitched squeal that may or not make your ears shrivel up and fall off? What you get is Kujima, what I can only describe as an anomalous horror from the abyss.
Appearances and voice aside, I think this is a pretty apt comparison to make. Like its more traditional predecessors, Kujima is all about how a new addition to the family can really breathe new life to an otherwise quiet and uninteresting household. From bringing old friends together to dragging a struggling student out of their shell. Kujima is simply what you get when you give these chaotic creatures a voice. They're honest and enthusiastic, eager to bring the family together to share their latest discovery. They're a bit chaotic and upfront, always speaking their mind (and sometimes Russian curses) with no filter. They're a little dumb, not knowing simple manners. But they're also curious and willing to learn about how to be a better part of this brand new family of theirs.
If you're willing to overlook…. whatever the hell Kujima is… what you'll get is a really sweet SOL about a strange creature bringing families together as it slowly learns what it means to be a part of one.
u/AnimeStuck – Watch It
Ponsuka strikes the balance between fresh and formulaic nicely as it plays with many classic anime high school romcom tropes while providing its own unique flair to them. While we are still establishing the characters in these first three episodes, the show has not skimped on characterizing its cast beyond their base traits. This, so far, has given sufficient opportunity for meaningful development alongside its moment-to-moment comedy.
The show grounds much of its comedy in the audience’s familiarity with its tropes. It could easily get stale if it fails to vary things enough, but so far it’s been rather dynamic in the way it executes on its character-driven comedy. Its jokes, like its characters, cannot simply be reduced to singular aspects devoid of nuance, allowing the show at least for now to stay entertaining. A key part of this is the audio-visual presentation. The tendency towards exaggeration matches well to the style of animation and color design,with the show leaning into its visual presentation to give moments proper weight.
I do think that some aspects of the scenario writing cause the show to feel unnatural at times. Characters are occasionally included in ways which feel forced. The show’s focus on giving the expanded cast enough time in these early episodes to show us who they are has also heavily detracted from time spent on our main couple. The first episode still remains the show’s strongest, and if the show doesn’t pivot back to some degree, it could suffer for it. Nonetheless, what we’ve gotten so far is promising, making it easy to recommend.
Alright, that’s finally all of them. What’s the best show we missed, and why is it Ribdiculous Reincarnation?
Just to get a bit meta for a minute as the organizer, I wanted to comment on two things. First off, I loved all the discussion on the last post. We’re always listening so definitely expect some tweaks to our rating system so what our scale says aligns closer with what we’re rating for next time.
Secondly, and this is solely on me, I got blinded by how many shows we could pick up that I didn’t put enough emphasis on covering all our bases for genres. I said it last time, but I will be pushing again to try and add more coverage when it comes to fantasy, isekai etc in the next post.
And of course, a big thanks to all of our writers and proofreaders who contributed to this project. You all rock, never change.
