Not entirely sure how much involved the writer Aka Aksaka was in the advertising but I have a feeling he made sure that Ai was everywhere and anywhere marketable to anime fans… he definitely made a smart move to not only market Ai but also have the first episode be a 90min length film to complete the entire prologue so that the fans would be hyped, and spread it like wildfire to the point that a lot of people will jump in the bandwagon blindly, be captivated by Ai, then have their hearts immediately ripped out, as that scene is gonna spread like wildfire in social media and then quickly be milked dried in less than a week. Leaving only the old/new hardcore fans to hop in the ride to expose the truth. Pretty similar to what happens in the anime.

This season is really solid it's hard to just pick 10 to watch

[@TsubasaAnimations]

True. I usually only have like 2-3 anime to watch per season but this one is stacked

[@Tan12]

I've read ahead a bit on Dead Mount Death Play, it's gonna be a banger if the adaptation quality keeps up.

[@brawlflowers]

I am now completely caught up to the Oshi no Ko manga (at this time it would be 115). Haven't even seen the anime yet. I honestly decided to experience the series first by reading it instead of just trying to follow along the anime (obviously I will still watch it now, since I'm caught up, and just waiting for the next chapters) That being said, just gonna put my current feelings here, since I don't really know where else, and felt it was appropriate to do it on Garnt's channel since I first heard of the series from his video a while back (which I rewatched, still a good video) GOD DAMN, the fucking drama aspect of this series is getting SOOO GOOD. Jesus I have not desperately binged a manga reading since Blue Period (even more so since I don't read that much manga to begin with). I genuinely cannot recall a single moment of this story ever leaving me bored and unengaged. Don't even think I can fully express my newfound love for this series clearly at the moment. One thing that I will say as a whole that I think was PERFECT, was the story's ability to engage the audience with two different aspects, the world of showbusiness, showing the humanizing, realistic, passionate, yet business driven aspect of it all, and the incredibly addicting drama behind the history of Ai Hoshino, and the actions of her children. Story does a phenomenal job of balancing and intertwining the two ideas together to keep a very consistent and irresistible narrative to follow. I reflect on the story, and I am in genuine disbelief at how absolutely brilliant this was executed. It will most likely not ever become my most favorite series I've ever read, but God damn, there is no way in hell I am EVER forgetting about this manga. Aka Akasaka and Mengo Yokoyari truly outdone themselves with this one.

[@SekayKFP]

I didn't expect much from the anime, but I've been blown away by the first episode so hard that I binged the whole manga in 3 days, which is quite fast and very unusual for me as I'm usually really slow to read. I've been obsessed by this manga for more than a week now. Definitely one of my all time favorite.

[@idemonstratevelocity5013]

Since im first here, i am going to use this oppurtunti to say that domestic girlfreind was the third anime I ever watched. What a cursed way to enter the world of romance anime, (just kidding it was great)

[@priyanshusharma1812]

Domestic gf is actually a good romance if you're into sisters

[@user-nb9tr2nt1w]

I'm actually really enjoying my one hit kill sister but I hated domestic girlfriend, one of the worst romance anime I've ever seen.

[@ezrat4743]

I'll say my first romance anime/manga was Berserk (the Golden Age arc had like 6 love triangles going on). I don't typically watch romance anime, and I refuse to consider Harem-RomComs as romance (looking at you Tenshi and Love Hina).

[@Kostyurik]

If we do not count Pokemon and anime I've partially watched as a very little kid on TV and don't remember properly (Sailor Moon, Shaman King, Fullmetal Alchemist, Spirited Away and Howl's Moving Castle) then my very first anime I consciously watched was "Recently my sister is unusual". My second was "A Boring World Where the Concept of Dirty Jokes Doesn't Exist" and my third was "Yamada's First Time: B Gata H Kei". So, my way to enter the world of romance anime was even more cursed, and there are no one to blame except myself. However my 4th anime was "Kiss x Sis" and it is the first one I still have warm feelings towards

[@pierinare]

Oooooh i have the same ones in my top three, just ranked differently due to my personal likings :p

[@zeroyuki92]

This season actually has two of my top three ongoing romance manga: - BokuYaba: The synopsis and initial story of this series is kinda misleading, but this series actually has one of the best romance progression of the main pair I ever saw in romcom. The two main lead carry the anime, while the support casts are really good at being realistic support characters without distracting from the main focus. - Houkago Amnesia: Really beautiful romance series, very melancholic, personally very relatable, and is one of the series where (slight direction spoiler) it has equal 'this is going to be tragedy' and 'this is going to have great wholesome ending' vibes so you'll ended up watching while praying to God that they will grant happiness to the two main lead.

[@blitxaac]

Yea BokuYaba really has a meh synopsis, hope he watches all of it cause it's definitely one of the best romcoms out there

[@TaseenK]

What is the third one?

[@zeroyuki92]

@@TaseenK I am torn between a few options, but most likely it's The Girl I Like Forgot Her Glasses (SukiMega). It also happened to have an anime adaptation this year so this is really a blessed year for sweet 1-1 romcom genre.

[@cyber5787]

At the start of the episode: The show is called "Oshi no ko", shouldn't it focuses more on the kids? At the end of the episode: OH.... I see.....

[@Zeke1460]

Ranking of Kings Season 2 is the thing I’ve been looking forward to since the first episode of season 1 bruh. It’s already in my top 5 favorites. I cannot get enough. They take “show, don’t tell” and do it better than anyone else. The story sort of forces them to since Boji can’t speak. But it’s the show with the most heart, and their animation style fits it perfectly. Also all the characters are fucking amazing. Despa is an absolute gigachad. Hiling is easily best anime mom. Desha is an actual good ruler. Kage is best hype man and friend.

[@KillerTacos54]

This is without a doubt the best anime season we've had in years. I've never in my life watched so many new seasonal shows concurrently. I'm actually at a point where I'm overwhelmed by how many incredible shows there are this season

[@blitxaac]

Yea same here, I can't believe I'm watching 9 shows this season, absolutely stacked

[@SB-hw7hp]

Same case with me. This season is the first time I've trying to look on almost every animes. But sure in the end I will drop few titles considering not all the animes will be worth the effort to watch.

[@Jesterisim]

I hope people give The Sacrificial Princess and The King of Beasts a chance. Even though a lot of people will just dismiss at "Haha Beauty and the Beast clone furry trash.", it's one of the coziest and most comforting stories I've ever read. I have some hope for the anime with it having lots of good VA's, Sawano's disciple for the OST, and a hella good director. But even if the anime comes out mid, I hope it shows to people how good the story is, and how much more attention it deserves. It's one of my favorite Shojos of all time, and I hope it isn't forgotten to time.

The best part about these types of videos is hearing Garnt's improvement on the japanese pronunciation over time, good job on ur progress, Garnt!

[@KING-ll2mz]

If you're a fan of the Konosuba anime, I really recommend that you read the light novels. They're honestely even more amazing than the anime. Garnt mentioned that he has never seen Konosuba do serious well, but that's mostly because the anime usually skims through the more serious moments. The serious moments in the light novel are actually done incredibly well and don't actually disturb the comedy, which is what is happening most of the time. If you love the Konosuba anime, I couldn't recommend the light novel more.

[@jonahdewitt2158]

I loved the Konosuba movie, but there were some really good serious moments in the novel that they skipped, like when Megumin was asking Kazuma about his past life and why he never had a girlfriend before. Still one of my favorite movies

[@FireDragg]

@@jonahdewitt2158 oh man, I loved the movie until I read the LN... the movie actual butchered it sooo much it feels sad... they skipped a whole night of megumin+kazuma, skipped the whole journey to the Crimson Village, including the Tranquility Girl and their talk at night, when she fells asleep holding Kazuma's hands... skips their city tour... skips the rookie killer... and skips a lot of dialogue from their final interaction, when Kazuma invests her points into explosion, and for what... for an extended fight VS Sylvia... :( I was sad after reading it

[@jonahdewitt2158]

@@FireDragg To be fair, it was a really awesome fight, and I loved the Megumin + Yunyun team-up explosion. I just hope in S3, they can go back and add the megumin and kazuma dialogue by the campfire. It was a really touching moment that added a lot of character to Kazuma.

[@mimishay2348]

The megumin anime is not at all serious, and is litterally more Konosuba with megumin as the lead. If you love konosuba, and you love megumin, it is easily a must watch.

[@themanyouwanttobe]

If you love Konosuba and don't love Megumin, reconsider your life choices.

[@calamelli209]

As a HUGE fan of Revue Starlight, if World Dai Star is even half as interesting, I'm really going to enjoy it. The first episode already planted some seeds for a potentially really interesting story. Magical Destroyers, Oshi No Ko, and the new seasons of Birdie Wing, Dr. Stone, and Gundam are the other shows I'm super excited about this season.
