What anime are you watching this season? (Fall 2023)
-
I watched waaaay too much anime last season, and honestly I don't know if I learned my lesson; I only went down from 15 to 12, but I think the quality of the shows this season is significantly higher (copium). Here it goes, don't judge me:
Definitely watching
-
Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 (2nd cour): The Summer cour was outstanding and I'm looking forward to seeing how this arc ends; mfers even had me playing Fortnite in 2023.
-
Rurouni Kenshin/Samurai X Remake (2nd cour): The first cour didn't blow me away, but it was a really good adaptation and it's been enjoyable enough not to drop it.
-
The Eminence in Shadow Season 2: I binged Season 1 last month and was very impressed; very much looking forward to this one.
-
Spy x Family Season 2: One of my favorite shows last year, very cute and entertaining, and genuinely has a very compelling plot.
-
Shield Hero Season 3: Season 2 didn't hit as hard as the first one, but it's still a high quality show with some of the better worldbuilding among isekai in the last couple of years.
-
Doctor Stone: New World Part 2: Really looking forward to this one because Part 1 felt like 75% setup for this coming season.
Probably watching
-
Shangri-la Frontier: I love VRRPG isekaindas (?) because SAO was one my gateways into the medium, and this one looks awesome!
-
Under Ninja: Dark horse pick for this season for me; I try to add to my list anything that remotely sounds appealing when it's not an isekai, and high school ninja with seemingly high quality animation checked enough boxes.
-
Goblin Slayer Season 2: I'm halfway through Season 1, and while it's okay, I'd heard so much about it when it was coming out that my expectations were a lot higher. Depending on how I feel when I finish it, I'll decide whether to watch it or not.
Maybe watching
- The Demon Sword Master of Excalibur Academy, Tearmoon Empire, A Returner's Magic Should Be Special: I love trash isekai. However, if there's a trope that might be even higher in my list, it's people going back in time/reincarnating and using their knowledge to be awesome in this second go. I must not be the only one since these three shows are coming out. When I go through the synopses of the shows coming out in a season, sometimes it feels like ChatGPT spits out paragraphs for a show that I know will suck, but that I'll watch every episode of; and these line up with that. Maybe I'll be strong and won't start them. But who are we kidding?
Let me know what your anime season will look like! Any new shows that pique your interest? Any old ones? I've been feeling tempted more and more by One Piece, but I'm not there yet lol

@Mariano The Uzumaki anime is FINALLY dropping - I don’t think there’s a solid release date yet, but before the end of the year. And there’s a new trailer!!! I’m so geeked ahhhhhhhh
Other than that I don’t really have anything in particular I’m watching at the moment, but I’m going to Youmacon (anime convention) in November and we’ll see if anything catches me eye.
And I have no idea when the new Berserk anime is releasing but the teaser looked pretty decent! I’ve been burned before by Berserk anime so hopefully this one is better.
