The thing about Skip and Loafer is the characters aren't "anime dumb". You think this show is going one way, but they resolve the problem within one episode like nice real human teenagers and it's really heartwarming how they go about it.

[@Vinksen]

Exactly ! It's not like a lot of romance where little thing become big for no reason and characters that don't talk each other just because they didn't understand each others. Also, i thought Mika will be that classic rival that will always be bitter and envy Mitsumi, but they go behond that and explain why she is like that and she try to go forward and become better. And that's really great.

I understand I will sound like the "just go read the manga" guy to some people, but My Home Hero's manga is a master piece. And I love that Garnt had caught the "weirdness" vibe at the start of the manga. Things like the main character knowing too much, and also the wife acting way too calm for the average person. These small details are actually crucial plot points that will be revealed later in the manga. Everything in this story comes together and is a super interesting journey. If some miracle happens and Garnt sees this, please do not drop the manga

Yamada-kun is A/S tier. Not because it's overly original but because it does what it does so well and unlike a lot of romance anime is able to convey the emotions tumbling around well. The portrayal of the girl in unrequited love with Yamada was one of the best portrayals of someone in unrequited love coming to terms with the fact it's never going to happen and they've started seeing someone else. e'I thought being in love was supposed to be fun' was astonishing.

[@collinbeal]

It is a really well-written show with good characters and engaging events, but that's the definition of a B+. I wouldn't begrudge it an A-, but I think it gets a B+ due to having to contend with other romance anime this season that are built different.

Garnt putting Skip and loafer on the High A rank makes my Shoujo heart happy ❤

[@bronaghmccabe]

I think Loving Yamada at lvl 999 could compete with more classic shoujos if it gets a second season. It was a great adaptation and everyone is happy with it but i don't think any fan of the manga would say its hit the good part yet which really is the dating portion. The thing that sells Yamada is how fun the main couples relationship is, they communicate well and their past shows up in weird ways and gets dealt with really nicely. Yamada himself gets a lot more development in future arcs and the next arc with the Espion Guild would really make people see Akane in a cooler light. We get more insight into their family backgrounds which explains a lot about both Akane and Yamada. The kisses are also insane cause Yamada has no chill at all. Weirdly enough one of my fav parts is how no arc really focuses on the typical anime SOL focus points, beyond the school festival arc, time spent in school or college really doesn't take focus, nor does part time work. A sense of time is harder to grasp cause there aren't summer specials and valentines and christmas in the same way as others in the genre. It's always treated as something to the side not the centre point. Even their birthdays haven't had a special chapter. Most of the big classic shoujos everyone loves like Ouran and Kamisama kiss etc are 20+ eps for a reason cause you really can't get the whole journey in 12. I think if a Loving Yamada at lvl 999 season 2 was to be done with the same care and attention as this season was given i think it'd become a modern classic for the genre. That being said with future slated shoujo adaptations, A condition called love or A sign of affection may steal the title as both have dating content early so will make better use of 12 eps.

[@rizqiefajar]

Okay, I have to defend Otaku Elf a bit here. The show has a lot of heart and soul. The reasoning why the elf became an otaku is actually pretty emotional and adds a lot of depth to her character. If you like easy going slice of life with lovable characters, a good mix of humor and tender moments, and cute character designs, you're going to love this. Even though it's an elf show, it surprisingly doesn't have any of the usual blatant fanservice. It's just a very wholesome show.

This anime effectively ruined the romance genre for me. Waifus? Meh. Give me characters like Isaki man. Her enthusiasm and Ganta's devotion is something to behold. In the manga their relationship gets even more serious and man the framing etc is top notch. You feel the characters in them. You're not watching/ reading a story, you're witnessing two people getting bonded. And not only Isaki and Ganta either. Side characters do really shine as well. Anamizu's passion for her hobbies, Haida's self centered yet struggling world view, Nono's naive yet pure outlook. And ukegawa, a total bro :D.

[@toninho2402]

I like these seasonal tier lists. It is nice to see how you feel about certain shows and how opinions maybe differ but they also show what one maybe missed out on. But why do these mid season and not at the end of the season where you would actually be able to finish them to rank them? Anyway great content

[@Anthony20603]

Been obsessed with Oshi No Ko since it came out, shits amazing 😭, I know Garnt bouta love it even more after the recent chapter lmao

[@Jisco8]

Garnt know that Vinland Saga is simply a masterpiece 😌

[@rc-fannl7364]

I hope you'll find time to watch "My Clueless First Friend" too. While looking like a simple single gag grade school flick at first sight, it has a surprising amount of depth, showing the effects bullying has on a kid's self confidence, and what a difference the kindness of a single person can make. Also touches on the challenges of single parenting, and yet is disarmingly cute and lighthearted. ED is a banger too.

[@olucarm5633]

I liked the video, it gave me a lot of information on the anime from spring, maybe i 'll watch some of those. But the best part of the video is monogatari series soundtrack during the speech. ❤ Chef's kiss

[@CrimsonMoonA]

Seeing the footage of Oreimo's opening at the end of the video was very nice for my hurt heart, thank you.

[@cyberrb25]

G-Witch is a great way to get yourself immersed in the Gundam universe. What I hope is that there is another one or two similar, so you can say "you should watch this, then X and Y [not the actual anime]" for those of us not utterly broken by it to be so. Like the warming of the frog, make us so we start watching Gundam on the more relaxed - lmao - side and then be hours on end watching every other Gundam series.

[@cyberrb25]

If I didn't make it clear enough, I'm a Gundam neophyte, and have only watched G-Witch.

[@sharlockshacolmes9381]

I'm so sad the Witch from Mercury has only 2 seasons we needed a full season of all out war and trauma. But I must say Suletta has a titanium mental she goes from trauma to traume like she's doing a Iron man Challenge.

Dude you gotta talk more about anime on Trash taste, I was curious about your guys' opinions on Heavenly delusion, since I really like the show, but a couple of things soured my taste so I put it on hold, also didn't have much time.. but I want to finish it!

I wish he would just make this list after actually finishing the season

I'm obsessed with Heavenly Delusion. I haven't watched an entire season in one night since Zombieland Saga and I love this far more.

[@danielburrell4749]

13:02 I am a huge fan of ClariS, but even I have to admit that whenever that particular song comes on, there is only one thing that comes to mind.

[@Deadlychuck84]

Every episode of Oshi no Ko, when that beat drop for the outro would happen, it just makes you feel like shit is about to get wild. Though I will say, the one episode about doom scrolling through internet comments, I wish that episode had ended like 20 seconds sooner, because that would've been one hell of a cliff hanger.

[@kyri8573]

I think a lot us who read the manga thought they would leave such a cliffhanger on that episode, it was quite surprising they didn't but it was so good still.

[@nightgirlgaming1985]

Heavenly Delusions is from the same mangaka as SoreMachi (And Yet The Town Moves), Masakazu Ishiguro, who's a master of the craft.

[@CyanPhoenix_]

Be interested to see if the last episodes of some of these would have changed his opinions - thinking mainly about demon slayer and jigokuraku, the last episodes of those anime had some insane twists that made me super hyped for their next seasons.

[@Newbtuber]

demon slayer was still a let down mainly due to last season being so peak. Compared this to last season where we got balls to the wall explosion, this season was tuned down. It was more of an emotional punch but overall, the fight animation was weaker. I would even say that we finally see the cracks in demon slayer now that the fight were not as amazing as last season.

[@WalterPupet]

Yeah, I watched the first episode of hells paradise out of boredom expecting a bland death tournament and was pleasantly surprised by what we actually got.

[@reaperking2121]

Same here . I was expecting some edgelord bs. Within 5 minutes I was hooked. It’s not a Vinland saga or Oshi no Ko. But it’s very fun and well put together. Definitely will be an anime I will remember and recommend to others

@@SemioniyThe main character only got more goated and the plot only got more interesting, but it is technically the shonen show of the season, cool fight scenes and edgy but badass main character its what your average 14 year old teenage boy wants to watch and I think it does a good job with it

I have always loved Gundam. I thought IBO was amazing but witch of mercury is one of the shows I am pissed when it is over and look forward to every week. The music is amazing and the story gives you feels the entire time.

[@Ditchdigger2005]

When comparing the school romances he kept saying that they were the same age. The Dangers in My Heart is set in Middle School!!! Not that you could tell from Anna's character design! So his compliant that they weren't as mature isn't relevant because they aren't!

[@EpyonRules]

Ya gotta watch the English dub of The Legendary Hero is Dead. The English cast did a fantastic job and definitely seemed to be enjoying the hell out of it, "ya naaaasty"! Also, yes, the OP for it is an absolute banger, one of the few series where I would let the OP play in full every single time.

[@mrbanana4536]

Honestly all of the anime I’ve watched this season has be encapsulated by Garnt perfectly, I’m surprised at how much I was nodding my head at his placements. W tier list garnt

[@swankified8981]

Having caught up with the Manga of Insomnoacs After School, it DOES hit hard, and I believe it's full potential hasn't even been reached yet

[@jwest88]

Yes! Now I'll finally know what anime are airing this season. I typically use these videos to note which ones I may like then give those a shot. Thanks for making these; entertaining and also hugely helpful. Edit: Wait thought this was an upcoming anime overview. Doh! Oh well, I'll probably listen to it while playing some D2R for the entertainment value. Insomniacs after school, The dangers of my heart, S2 of Birdie Wing, and Hell's paradise were my favorites of last season. lv 999 love story wasn't bad either and Dead mount death blade(?) was also good. Forgot a few: Oshi No Ko, and how reliana ended up at the dukes castle. Great season overall and hoping this coming season is another banger. I'm actually caught up with the manga of insomniacs after school. I hardly ever do that after a season, but am still waiting for the new chapter to come out hopefully soon.

[@ggw-eh8fb]

Do this every season please thank you : )

[@vengeance3364]

25:38 it's not just cuz it's a manhwa. The new otome isekai this season is quite good being very similar to all routes lead to doom on the settings but the characters feel completely different there. And it's a jp light novel

[@dougphisig]

Pretty fair, and mostly matches up with the stuff from this list I've watched. Though would be interesting to see what opinions changed by end of the season as i'm sure a few of these would shift with the full season. I fully caught up on the manga for Insomniacs & plan to read Oshi No Ko for sure as I won't be able to wait to see what happens I think.

[@sharmelfattakhov5041]

Good for you. Manga readers also can’t wait to see what happens though)

What shocked me about Kamikatsu was how amazing the worldbuilding and characters were.

[@ZeroUnderscoreCapslock]

Everyone expected it to be the show with no plot and your usual garbage anime tropes and it ended up being more interesting then the shows with "serious" plots lmao

[@bwellstv4927]

for the record, heavenly delusion is on Hulu in the US

[@akumuryuu]

I would put Dead Mount in the S tier no questions asked. I haven't been this intrigued by a mystery since Umineko probably. Maybe Summer Time Rendering. But Summer Time answered the same amount of questions that it introduced. Here, with each new answer, you get like three new questions, and they are all interesting.

[@Kraus-]

I'd put it in S tier just for the magician. He's so mischeivous and dapper. A truly cultured gentleman.

[@CaelVK]

definitely a sleeper hit of the season since a lot of people got baited by the "isekai" part and didn't give it a real chance

[@Mwhite732]

DM is a mid tier isekai for kids that aren't old enough to watch durarara. A-tier was incredibly generous. The characters are all tired tropes and the animation is nothing special. Imagine thinking this should be ranked next to Vinland Saga... You're like the marvel otaku of the anime world, will literally watch the same repackaged crap and think it's amazing.

[@ALLmasked]

same. the dialogue alone is a tier writing but here's the thing. THEY'RE ANIME TROPE CHARACTERS TALKING ABOUT BS! that is S tier weaving to me.

[@ALLmasked]

@@Mwhite732 no offense to vinland. its great but ofc it is. its made like an oscar/emmy contender that mads mikkelsen and other top european actors are going to be cast in. maybe it should be S+, but i can't say nothing if dmdp is ranked lower than oshi no ko and the same with mashle.

[@gustavocastro5194]

Is it weird that I found Vinland Saga season 2 more entretaining than season 1?

[@gaiusjuliuspleaser]

Absolutely not. As good as the first season was, the second one is a masterpiece.

[@CosmicTurtle13]

I skipped Oshi No Ko, thinking it was just an idol show and that I wouldn't be interested. Your ranking of it made me give it another try, and fuck me I'm glad this happened. I started the 1st episode to see why you gave it such a high rating and now I'm feeling things I've not felt in years. This might be my favorite show of the season and I only started watching it yesterday.

[@jetztenshi]

Seeing Garnt saying Gundam Is Back.. Tells me that this video was film before the last episode of witch of mercuy?

[@kenhiyoko941]

Gundam Which from Mercury still a S tire for me despite it need 1 more ep between 23/24 to breath things out IMO but I still enjoy what I got with Suletta's story. I guess Bandai/Sunrise want it to be 25eps instead of 50 to make it easier for new comers pick it up, they state it before WFM is a series aiming toward new generation of anime watchers. That said, I need Bob's earth camping arc OVA so bad.

[@ztnep_3670]

Dangers in my heart doesn't deserve to be in the same tier as a ecci harem anime

[@ryne1625]

Magical Destroyers in C tier hurt me bad. If anything I feel it actually improves after episode 2 and has a really cool plot twist at the end. It's also one of those trope subversion type anime which I find cool and unique. It's a Jun Inagawa project, an artist whose work is heavily based on that pop culture trope subversion, so it is sufficiently deep and creative in my opinion, despite appearing self gratifying on the surface. Definitely an underrated gem imho.

[@reynslater7849]

so glad he edited that long vod man

[@Urgnu]

It's interesting that Garnt put ToniKawa in A tier, now that it's basically just a SoL show. I also would have thought he'd grow tired of Mashle pretty quickly, since he mentioned he doesn't like comedies that repeat the same joke over and over. But it's a really good list overall, those were just enexpected choices. I do think though that The Dangers in My Heart objectively deserves A tier. It is not just a wonderful romance full of subtle details, but it combines its romance naturally with a coming of age story, and that makes it incredibly special. It captures the spirit of being a teenager so well that I can think of maybe two other shows that have done the same. And the music and direction emphasize special moments so well that you basically can see the emotions that come with them. It was my favourite of the season along Heavenly Delusion, and while I can see it's not of the same kind as the other S tier shows here, I do think it's an A tier even if it's not exactly your thing anymore.

[@rona0427]

So agree with Dangers in my Heart, it’s a shame that so many people shit on it solely because of the first few episodes.

[@LifeisMoldyBread]

Yea it's a real shame that The Dangers in My Heart was put into B tier. It's more than just cute couples doing cute things. The series should honestly be the gold standard for romcoms with the way it developed the main couples.

[@sultanprawiro3069]

i think giguk only watch three eps,and this is old content. for me Danger in my heart being good after eps 4

[@chasinghaze0962]

I don't get it. I like the show but it feels like any other romcom to me.

[@Foxtrot1138]

There's more to Tonikawa than SOL though. Aside from being highly wholesome, there's a mystery thread set up through the show and a big reveal to come. Unfortunately the big reveal probably won't be in this season, so have to read manga or wait for S3
