MODERATORS
Got lazy:
Oshi no Ko - More suspense, more drama, more good music. It is building up towards a big climax, and I can't wait to see it.
'Tis Time for "Torture", Princess - It's more of the same as season 1, but somehow I found this season funnier and more enjoyable. Maybe its pacing improved? Whatever the case, it is still a very cute and wholesome slice-of-life. The characters are very relatable too but in a comedic way.
Frieren - With the shorter episode count and having just episodic stories, this season is clearly just an intermission, the calm before the storm, the bridge to the next big arc. Even so, it still delivered with the direction, the soundtracks and just the rest of the production in general. I particularly enjoyed the light bits of humour.
The Demon King's Daughter is Too Kind!! - This is my most anticipated anime of the season and I am glad to say that it has met my expectations. Its production value may not be on par with the greats, but it captured the essence of the source material and that's what truly matter for an adaptation IMO. They know how to exemplify Dou's cuteness and kindness, providing the perfect healing each week.
Gnosia - Plenty of loose ends just like Beastars IMO, but I still enjoyed the journey. Very fun, and the closest to a whodunnit in anime. (Perhaps I watched too little anime.)
You and I are Polar Opposites - It is always refreshing to see a non-braindead couple, even if it is a standard romcom. Standard romances / romcoms tend to fall off and become boring to me, because it's always the same story. What this anime did though - just like the rest of the greats in this season - is to develop the rest of the cast. Now there's way more interactions, keeping things fresh.
Hell's Paradise - After all the build-up in season 1, we are starting to get to the meat in season 2. There are still more reveals (or at least there should be, otherwise plotlines would be unresolved) to come, so it should be staying interesting.
Watanare Next Shine - Everyone probably saw the ending coming a mile away. Nevertheless, I am still satisfied how this arc ends; in fact, there can be more ๐ This has to be the spiciest yuri harem, the first and only of its kind that I've watched, and I am looking forward to more.
Tamon's B-Side - Quite a fun watch. Without going into spoiler territory, I like the tropes here.
Love Through A Prism - Standard shoujo romcom. In a meta of villainesses, vanilla shoujo has looped around to being refreshing.
My Hero Academia: Vigilantes - More development of side characters in this season compared to the first, which is the recipe for greatness it seems.
