"The Rising of the Shield Hero" Season 5 Announced with Teaser Visual, PV

Reply in thread

The latter seasons are nowhere as enjoyable as season one. After season one revenge arc the story becomes uninteresting. The second season start is famous for its bad CGI tortoise and I can't even remember what happened in that arc. Season 3 and 4 introduce new characters, places and power systems and have potential to be good and interesting but plagued with boring character dialogues, unexplained power systems and new places don't get explored. The worst of all, Naofumi getting a big Harem and that gets in the story.

That said Season 3 is better than Season 4 and way better than 2 but not as interesting and good as Season 1.

Tokidoki Bosotto Russiago de Dereru Tonari no Alya-san • Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian - Episode 1 discussion

This wasn't on my list to watch but saw a post praising the chemistry of the main casts that led me check this out.

I have seen a handful of school romance-comedy anime where popular girl falling for an average boy. Almost in all those stories, the boy character is like edgy or super loner type. It is refreshing to see the boy is having a banter with the lead female cast in this one. Love that fun and friendly chemistry of the main casts.

Animation is also really good for my school romance-comedy anime series standard.

Anime General Discussion Thread, Favorite Winter Season OP/ED Edition [2026, Week 05]

You and I are Polar Opposites opening is my favourite of this season. Amazing different visuals usage and animation done by the same person who also did How To Become Ordinary opening. The music is catchy and fits the happy high school setting.

I didn't quite like Frieren ending at first as it was too much jarring for me. But after reading it is all hand-drawn on paper with color pencils, can't help appreciate the effort put in. As previous season, Milet vocal really fits the tone of Frieren ending.

New "Ghost in the Shell" Anime Announced with Teaser Visual, PV

This is exiting. I love the original movie and other installments. Base on PV, they are gonna adapt the original manga for this. From what I have seen from a small portion of the interview with the original director, the manga goes more complex than the anime. And Science SARU adapting, surprised it is not Production IG. Really looking forward to this. Hope this also brings that feeling of futuristic but not so-futuristic sci-fi world that the original movie brought with it.

For now, I will go and finish GITS:Arise.
