I honestly feel like Mashle is kinda being misunderstood. Like, it's clearly trying to be a silly comedy/parody of fantasy and shonen stuff, so of course it's going to use the most generic magic world and just call it straight up Magic World.

[@jackmanleblanc2518]

He went into a comedy expecting a shounen so of course he ended up getting disappointed. I guess that happens when you're an anime reviewer and have to keep up with so many every season.

[@antonisauren8998]

It's obvoius HP parody and I laughed hard watching Malfoy wannabe squashed into dirt. It might be show of one joke, but it still keeps up after three or so episodes.

[@Goleon]

@@jackmanleblanc2518 - No no. He was expecting an action shonen. Shonen in whole has various categories with the top five being drama, sports, action, romance and comedy. The last one is Shonen Jump’s bread and butter which is why SpyxFamily has been doing very well in Japan and is why One Piece is so big because yes it does have action but it also has a lot of comedy which is the biggest draw. Same reason why DB is still a major thing over there as it usually has a high focus on the comedy aspect. Plus when you think on it this is also why MHA as well as Naruto, Demon Slayer and JJK have dominated as both also incorporate a lot of comedic moments. However because six of the series mentioned do have a decent amount of action in it, it’s led to most people here in the US to have the misconception that shonen is just action, when in truth it’s not. What proves this most is a couple popular series known as Death Note and Promised Neverland which is from Shonen Jump and categorize as shonen despite both not being anything like the other shonen series I mentioned. So yeah the more you know everyone.

[@captainnerd6452]

Insomniacs and Otaku Elf are my two main shows this season, I've read a lot of the manga for both and the quirky humor of Elf gets me, as well as the ongoing bits of Edo history that get brought in. Also I have spent a lot of time in the neighborhood near where the story is set, so seeing familiar sights is a plus. Insomniacs is just a nice relaxing rom-com, the protagonists are adorable, along with supporting characters who actually support, and the thing that draws them together being insomnia making them night owls is something I've dealt with before. Also they get involved with astronomy and astrophotography which are hobbies I've dabbled in. All in all, this show has definite Yuru Camp vibes along with a nice little romance.

[@foofustherabbit]

Kudos for talking about "My Clueless First Friend", as several "I have watched EVERY spring 2023 anime" videos don't even mention it. Even more kudos for putting it on the "keep" list. After the first episode, it only gets better, with episode 4 as its current highlight. If they keep adapting the manga in the same manner, there will be some more highlights to be expected later in the season, as this story has some unexpected depth to it, while still remaining lighthearted in nature. Sleeper gem series, imo.

Dead mount death play is one of those mystery show that take some time for it to start running.

Right now it still is setting up the character so please watch it till they introduce Solitaire at least as it get really good when he is among the cast(also it a bit like Narita other story where there multiple plot point is happening everywhere with each character has their own pov and goal but this one put more imphasis on the Main character, Corpse god).

[@Logoslab2]

I hope you'll keep up with The Dangers in My Heart. As someone who has read a fair amount of rom-com stories in recent years, this stands out as my favorite by quite a margin. The anime is a bit awkward as an adaptation, but it still manages to convey the main elements of the story quite well. The romance is on a similar level to Love is War - though more rom than com - with the cute and serious relationship development that you might see in a show like Mysterious Girlfriend X - far surpassing other enjoyable well known romcoms of recent times, such as Uzaki, Nagatoro, and Komi.

Heavenly Delusion (Tengoku Daimayo) with the mystery and post-apocalypse setting has been great so far. I hope you cover it.

[@Urgnu]

It's definitely the best new show this season for me (with Oshi no Ko a close second, and many others not that far behind). The mystery is fantastic and the depths the mystery goes to is wonderful. And it's great at pacing. It presents a mystery, it gives you just enough clues so you might figure it out but still makes the revelation surprising even if you figured out the gist of it, and it might solve some of the mysteries just one or two episodes later, but through solving that mystery will just give you more mysteries. And it adds such a human element to everything and carefully doses the humour to make it feel incredibly real. So far it is probably one of the most engaging shows I've ever watched.

Reaching the end and realizing you missed Sacrificial Princess was... odd. I think it's got a "Keep?" from me for now. Magical Destroyers is something I *want* to give a chance. I saw a joke that made me start thinking it's a metaphor for how sites like Niconico, and conventions like Comiket have resulted in harsher pressures from society to keep your involvement in otaku culture to your private life. My Home Hero reaches a point with a satisfying enough conclusion that I'm not worried about the show's ending. Of course, it keeps going, and does so naturally, but it wouldn't feel out of place to stop there. I also feel like calling Insomniacs "Call of the Night - vampires" isn't really fair. I think it's closer to "March Comes in Like a Lion - Shogi" or "Your Lie in April, but with insomnia and astrophotography instead of trauma and music" Which still sets a pretty high bar for comparison.

[@animusswtor4822]

Personal top picks for this season are 1. Heavenly Delusion - haven't seen a post-apocalyptic mystery, or mystery in general, this good in a long time. Made me binge the manga, and seeing all the hints is both incredibly satisfying but also hurts way too much. Definitely secured itself a spot in my favorites for both anime and manga, the anime even more because of how well it's being adapted. 2. Skip and Loafer - It is just genuinely such a fun watch, and Tomoyo Kurosawa as the voice of the main character makes everything 100 times better than it already is. 3. Oshi no Ko - if you had told me episode 1 (minus the set-up for the revenge at the end) was all we were getting and it was a tragic 90 minute story of a familial bond, I would've been perfectly satisfied and willing to almost give a perfect score for it. With this, I still have to worry about if the show manages to follow up on the insane premiere, which fortunately so far it has. 4. Sacrificial Princess and the King of Beasts (you, uhm, kinda did not mention this AT ALL xD) - both figuratively and literally just wholesome fluff, and the adaptation is also quite nice so far. Given that the manga has 90-ish chapters and the anime is set for 24 episodes, we could theoretically have a chance to see the full story adapted, who knows. It's not anythign special, but I quite like it, and Kana Hanazawa as Sariphi - who is already cute af in the first place - is just an unfair casting choice for my heart. Before the season started my most anticipated anime, not only for this season but actually for 2023 as a whole, was "Insomniacs After School" because the manga is one of my absolute favorites. It lives entirely off of 2 things: The back and forth banter between the characters, and the atmosphere the night scenes - or even some of the normal scenes - give out, and so far the anime sadly hasn't managed to properly convey ANY of it in a way that'd do the presentation of said scenes in the manga justice. Right now, the only thing I can rave about for it is the OST which is genuinely quite amazing and probably my personal favorite of the season, yet it means almost nothing if all the other aspects of the show that I am so fond of in the source are just not present. Give it 4-5 episodes and if you don't get pulled in by the anime, PLEASE do yourself a favor and read the manga for it. It sits at 108 chapters right now and it is a fascinatingly phenomenal read. Seeing it being described as "romcom" or hearing the characters are "not as engaging as the ones in Call of the Night" actually f'ing hurts.

[@alfocrack0355]

Let me disagree on insomniac, I think it improves the manga in various scenes. Yeah the pacing is not the best but the extra scenes added to episode 1 were really good, especially the finale. Also it looks gorgeous and the art is practically 1:1 but that's just my opinion.

[@antonisauren8998]

Insomniacs were real letdown after ep1. Like whole premise of wandering at night is gone and it becomes almost generic club show. Plus day become longer and sun is rising when I'm down to watch it. :P

[@TheFourthWinchester]

Stop spoiling.

[@raec5426]

​@Antoni Sauren What said the premise was wondering at night? It doesn't have that in the show synopsis as it literally mentions astronomy club observatory in the show synopsis itself... Sounds you were like making comparison too much to Call of the Night to have an expectation that wasn't even promised as the premise to begin with. lol

[@lokasocba]

@@raec5426 TBH, the first episode kind of implies it is going to be that way. In the second episode you can already see it will not.

[@Goleon]

Uh Arkada. Hate to break it to you but anything called shonen doesn’t mean it’s an action series. Shonen has a bunch of sub genres that the various series it gets are categorize into. The biggest of this which is the bread and butter of the magazine Mashle comes from aka Shonen Jump is comedy. THAT is why Mashle is so popular and is why most shonen shows are too including the many action ones (Demon Slayer, JJK, Naruto, MHA) because they incorporate comedy into them or they’re a comedy that incorporates action ala DB, One Piece, SpyxFamily. Mashle is part of that latter half too btw. Oh and I’m going to leave this tidbit for you to think on. Death Note and Promised Neverland were serialized in Shonen Jump and both are categorized as shonen as a result even though both series aren’t like all the others I have mentioned here.

[@thatjames4156]

God bless your soul. Don't force yourself to watch all of them. People still have housechores, family, friends and work as well.

[@redheadmedia7901]

So when i watch anime thats always about someone who drops something because of someone else i always think of that scene in My Hero Academia where Deku yells at Todoroki. So hearing Blue Orchestra and how its about a guy that stops playing violin cause his dad sucks the first thing i thought of was Deku yelling: "IT'S YOURS! YOUR VIOLIN NOT HIS!'

[@daniellewilliamson4215]

Run for the Money is essentially a toy commercial anime lmao. The band the characters wear on their wrists is the Vital Bracelet. Why running? Because the VB is baby's first fitness tracker band.

[@ChristianVonCarmian40kVtuber]

I love how you said "muscles"

[@yugoxgc]

Ngl... Rather surprised with you dropping Mashle. I mean its literally " Black Clover parody of Harry Potter but the MC is Saitama" & Honestly I'm sold. No shade on Black Clover but I appreciate that's not a " MC doesn't have any superpower/magic... oh wait he does". Sure the Saitama lvl of strength & speed is basically an OP superpower. But its not magic (or anti magic in world of magic). Plus idk man maybe my sense of humor is basic but Mash is damn funny to me 🤣

[@shyguy5473]

I am obsessed with the OP for Oshi no ko. It's just so good. The show itself is so well directed. I can't believe I would ever watch an "idol" show but here we are. The closest I got to watch an idol show was Vivy flourite eye's song. I think this would have been my favourite of the year had it not been for Vinland Saga S2 still going strong. Also Magical destroyers gave me vibes of Rumble Garandoll so I will definitely watch it. The 1st episode was amazing.

[@KhanMann66]

I love how Oshi no Ko doesn’t skirt around the dirty side of the entertainment industry. Many idol show only glamorizes the fame.

[@superpancake4872]

Slight correction, The Dangers in my Heart is not a Highschool series, its a Middleschool series, main character is 13.

[@mariokarter13]

All you need to know about KamiKatsu is that in the fourth episode they take real footage of a real person, slap an anime filter on it, then draw one of the character's heads on the body. They deepfaked an anime.

[@kaxxxxx]

that was hilarious xD

[@dylanfoltz8559]

It's actually better than described: the spoken line over that scene is something like 'this is so much easier than doing it by hand'.

[@ralpheid905]

Could you make a list at the end of the video that puts every anime in its “watch category “? It would be useful after a 50+ minutes video.

[@jotana_ch]

Can I recomend one? X&Y is a mystery anime with escape rooms. I will not say anything more about the story as for spoiler reasons. It is a chinese anime (forgot the name of those) and I have not met a single person who watched it. It is definetly worth checking out.

[@AskAScreenwriter]

Isn't that harem show (Café Terrace) basically 'Love Hina' in reverse?

[@JBPVFL]

Dead mount death play has been one of my favorite shows this season. Never even heard of it but I have been looking forward to it and hells paradise the most weekly of the new stuff

[@fakesmile172]

It only has 3 episodes out so far, who knows what will happen

[@vanilla_milkshake]

the actual show is like that lol, have you watched past ep 1? It has more style than most of the rest of the shows combined.

[@jessip8654]

@@vanilla_milkshake Sure but the show is all style and no substance. It's all frosting and no cake. If it came out that the whole show was written by an AI bot fed a bunch of mid-2000's anime scripts I wouldn't be shocked at all.

@@jessip8654 lol it's anime dude, style IS the substance 🤣

[@tsuki_4366]

@@vanilla_milkshake It has style but it doesn't really compare to the OP at all. It still looks like an average glossy modern digital anime most of the time.

TBF to the guy in A Galaxy Next Door, Japanese housing is not near as bonkers and overpriced as Canadian housing is. I doubt he's making more thank $2k a month renting out those rooms. You can actually still find studio apartments around Tokyo for $500 a month so long as you're not picky about the neighborhood.

[@murderman8578]

The Animation not Hitting

[@GenerationZ313]

Honestly, I didn't find it difficult to believe that he would still be poor after renting. I mean, you still have to pay property taxes and on the income from tenants, not to mention landlords may get a bad tenant who completely trash the place or don't play their rent on time among many other issues.

[@livecoilarchive1458]

Tengoku Daimakyo really swept me off my feet. I haven't been so taken by an anime in a while. I hope it becomes an instant classic, passed on over the years.

[@FrameGame]

Toss, Keep? And CONSUME!

[@newbie4789]

I genuinely don't think we had a season this stacked by good new shows at any time recently. Skip and Loafers, Oshi no Ko , Hell's Paradise, Death mount death play and my favourite of the season... Heavenly Delusion. And there are way more than these shows that people are talking... Like Mashle, Insomniacs after school, Magical girl magic destroyer.... Too good of a season

[@priestesslucy3299]

I'm not surprised you gave a toss to Boukenroku, but I am somehow still a little saddened. It has this peaceful soul soothing attribute to it, a lot like By the Grace of the Gods. It's nothing unique or ground breaking, but it is still the show I look forward to the most every week. (Second place being Oshi no Ko, the plot really draws me in, but the darkness has me less excited. There's a little counterplay between excitement and dread)

[@keesh2736]

The My home hero manga is actually split into 3 parts so this first season is likely to adapt all of part one, but while watching it I noticed that some scenes have had parts taken out.

[@meea1971]

I really like how you keep this way more interesting than others who try to give a virtual book report on anime. So far i actually agree with your verdicts on the new anime. My Home Hero is pretty good considering and it still builds every episode. I actually like one of the Yakuza guys cause they have a complicated backstory and emotion. I also wasn't sure about the Cheat Skill anime but i actually got nauseous after a few episodes. I got tired of rolling my eyes 😂. Dead Mount Death Play is actually not too bad but it's walking a tightrope right now for me. I'm not sure how much more i can take of another show about someone reincarnated with an exorbitant amount of power... Anyway keep up the cool discussions!!

[@amandabernard8179]

You forgot one. Niehime. I know it starts later but I enjoyed the fantasy romance premise and how dark it is

[@olemgar6530]

Yeah I was about to say the same. Kind of a shame how hard Niehime has been struggling. Coming up so late in the season and barely anyone talking about it. Most might call the series mid or samey but it's my favorite Shoujo of all. I hope it gains some recognition soon.

[@Septeus7]

I know donghua is generally hated by the community however this season there is a standout I'd recommended: X & Y / Aiyou's Secret Room. Outside of Kind's Reign 1st season I've like like any Chinese animation so take some time to watch if you like horror mystery which is a little lacking this season on the Japanese side.

[@Pikminiman]

This was very useful. Thanks, Tristan.

[@iBenjamin1000]

magical girl destroyers has the term "magical girls" so like maybe I'll give it a few episodes just to see if it does anything actually interesting with the titular magical girls.

[@firefly5677]

There are so many great new shows and sequels this season it's hard to keep up. My personal favorites so far are The Dangers in my Heart, Oshi no Ko, Hell's Paradise, Insomniacs After School, and Working for God in a Godless World

[@Mr_Emoticon]

I feel like there needed to be another option of like "TEEP?" combo of toss/keep as in "toss for now but if I hear more about it later I might come back"

[@dingusgoober]

Mashle is a parody of Harry Potter. I’m pretty sure the generic isekai city and “this is a world of magic” was intentional. I mean, c’mon, you can’t really take it seriously when the MC dribbles with the opponent’s spell like he was in Blue Lock

My Wife had never shown any interest in Anime, but cats, on the other hand..... I showed her the segment about "Too Cute Crisis" and now might need to renew my subscription at HIDIVE for her.

[@Ikarusu]

The amount of disrespect towards Magical Girl Destroyers just because it's flashy and explosions instead of deep subtexts about facism bad is insane, but i believe it really depends on the person, for me i think it's quite a fun show that anyone really fond of Kill La Kill or such will watch, it's not trying to replace it but it will give you similar vibes in how it's animations and over the top logic are done. And also for me, it's the anime in this season that mostly differs from the rest with it's wacky plotlines and lsd visuals, it's a completely different experience from all other animes mentioned in this list and that makes it worth a watch for a lot of people, it's at least trying.

@@sparklesparklesparkle6318 hmm interesting. Ive been finding dubs to be better over time. Now theres a variety of voice actors, some who are actually passionate about the material or category. Where as before the same 5 voices did everything. Maybe im havent delved into the subjects nuances , but my overall opinion is ive enjoyed dubs more frequently. There are many times though where i find the sub is superior and that i think is due to translation/writing and voice acting as a mix (i don't see it as one component).
