Anime Year in Review

Last year I made a silly post ranking the three shows I happened to watch. This year, I got way more into anime (and manga), so let's do it properly this time

Revue Starlight* - Easy top star spot. This anime was flawless. I watched it twice this year and will be watching it again. The story, the animation, the music were all impeccable. The music, oh my god; I listen to the soundtrack every day. Some of my other favorites on this list I'd only recommend based on your personal tastes, but this show should be watched by everyone. (The sequel and spin-offs, not so much. They all use the revues in a way that completely undermines the premise of the main series)

Heavenly Delusion - So fucking good. Second on this list, but I think it's the best show that came out this year. Deeply traumatic, but in such a satisfying way. The horror elements were so brutal and so well done, and I love that the man-eating monsters were the least gruesome part of the show. If it wasn't for the stinker of the ice monster episode, I think this could've been my favorite anime

Call of the Night* - Adored this show. Yes it's a celebration of the hedonism of vampires, but it's so earnest and down-to-earth with it that it feels so good to watch that I did it twice (sub and dub). I also got into the manga, which is sadly wrapping up next month, but hopefully that prompts an announcement about season 2

Frieren: Beyond Journey's End - Super chill show, which is a great way to wind down the week. It's such a cool concept too, following the adventurer after the adventure is over. It's just a reflection on life and I love it

The Witch from Mercury (cour 2) - Given that I run a sideblog just for this show, it might be surprising that it's so low on my list, but the second cour was a lot weaker than the first. Not nearly enough of Suletta and Miorine interacting, and way too much chaff following Guel's B-plot. I've said it before, but I think the worst part of this Gundam show is that it's a Gundam show. A+ epilogue though, and Suletta is still my favorite character this year

Scott Pilgrim Takes Off - I enjoyed the original comic and the live action movie. I didn't realize this new adaption was really a sequel, but it ended up being a great way to bring the old story to the modern decade. (Two decades later isn't much, but it was very of-its-time)

Spy x Family (cour 2) - Very fun show. Following several viewpoint characters means the individual episodes might be hit-or-miss (as much as I love Anya, the episodes at the school are relatively bland), but the overall package was sweet and enjoyable

Nimona - Another comic I really enjoyed. The movie was strong, although it cut a lot of parts out that I thought were important to the original story

The Orbital Children - Directed by the same person who directed one of my long-time favorites (Dennou Coil), the first two acts of this really felt like a modern update. Stunning visuals, great sci-fi, thrilling adventure. Went totally off the deep in the third act, though

Joshiraku* - As the characters pointed out, adapting a manga that takes entirely inside the green room of a stand-up comedy club is an odd choice. It was off-the-charts hilarious, though. Considering some of the scripts were entirely pun-based, it must've been an immense amount of work to translate, but they absolutely pulled it off

Oshi no Ko - The only reason I watched this show was because the OP was such a banger. (Several fantastic anime songs by YOASOBI this year, and Idol is easily my favorite.) The first, feature-length episode was incredible and I literally cried at the end. If it was a stand-alone movie, it would be a couple of spots higher on this list. The rest of the show was fine, but not really what I was here for. I'll probably still watch season 2 though

Arknights: Prelude to Dawn* - I bounced off the gacha game immediately, but the worldbuilding and character designs seemed cool, so I wanted to give the anime adaptation a chance. The plot was very thin but serviceable enough. At least it looked nice to watch.

The Magical Revolution of ... - Not typing that whole thing out. It was a cute show. The yuri stuff was nice, but I wish for a show about a magical inventor, there was a non-zero amount of magical inventing shown on screen

* indicates the show aired prior to 2023

A lot of shows I really loved this year. Looking forward to next year, the anime I'm most hyped for is obviously Dungeon Meshi. It looks like it's going to be incredible. The second season of Arcane is also scheduled to come out late next year, which is also very exciting. Technically Frieren has a second cour in January, but they're airing both cours as basically a single 24-episode season, so that doesn't really count

For older shows I mean to catch up on, YouTube has recced me clips of probably every single joke from K-On!, and it's really grown on me. Definitely going to watch that soon. I'm also in the mood to watch Bocchi the Rock! again. I should also make myself watch the first couple episodes of PMMM. Nothing I've seen on Tumblr has grabbed me for that one, but it's right in the middle of some of the other shows I was gushing about here and it would be dumb not to try it

Top 10 Anime of the Week 7

Bocchi the Rock remains with the crown! Despite a recap episode forcing Gundam Mercury out of the charts last week, it returns with stunning strength to second place, where it last was before the recap. Bleach holds onto 3rd place, and Mob Psycho loses two spots to be 4th.

Blue Lock reemerges from the depths thanks to Japan’s incredible win to Germany at the World Cup. Frontrunners Chainsaw Man and Spy x Family struggle and loses their ranks.

Top five games you would like to live in!

Rune Factory 4: Although the games are all in the same world 4 is my favorite. Adventuring AND chilling on a farm. Make three dragon gods water your crops and bribe another with pancakes. The Horse. Life is good

Pokémon: Once again I'm getting baited by "you can pet god". If I had to pick a region I'd say Alola because I LOVE Ultrabeasts even though I would probably have sunburns for life. Wouldn't wanna go to Galar because the gyms are noisy

Dragalia Lost: There's a lot of cool creatures and magic. If I saw Marishiten nobody would be able to stop me

Arknights: I don't care if there's a rock cancer pandemic and a race war going on Oni and lizard people are real

Xenoblade Chronicles X: gorgeous environment and your own personal Gundam but there's so much shit that will instantly murder you if you take two steps in the wrong direction on your daily walk

Honorable mentions:

CrossCode: I really love the setting but I know I hate MMOs in real life.

Punishing: Gray Raven: I don't care if there's a machine rabies pandemic and a class war going on androids are real- wait a second

Etrian Odyssey: the FUTUREEE isn't that much different actually. Magic is real but Oni and lizard people are not, so that's an L. But more importantly I don't wanna be near the superbosses or the dragons because it's on sight for them

[animebw]

What do you think are the must-watch anime this season?

Well, there's the aforementioned yakuza maid over-the-top Tarantino slaughterfest (Akiba Maid War), a proper successor to K-On's Cute Girls Do Music crown (Bocchi the Rock), Sports Shounen But It's A Death Game (Blue Lock), the return of everyone's favorite heterosexuals (Spy x family), another outing for the Good Mountain Girls (listen once Yama no Susume gets out of recap territory I'm sure it'll be fantastic once more), Mob Psycho coming back for one last victory lap, the strongest season of MHA in years, motherfucking Chainsaw Man, oh, and did I forget to mention LITERALLY UTENA BUT WITH GUNDAMS.

GOD.

And that's mentioning all the great second-tier stuff we've got. The Urusei Yatsura remake is actually really fun, Pop Team Epic's second season is firing on all cylinders, Raven of the Inner Palace is the kind of excellent historical political fantasy we so rarely get, Do It Yourself has one of the most charming art styles I've seen in a while... fuck, even the obligatory dumb isekai du jour isn't too bad! And we've still got the second season of To Your Eternity waiting in the wings, and that Arknights anime looks kinda interesting, and My Master Has No Tail is actually turning out pretty decent, and there's this cute little short anime about cute boys failing to act cool...

Fuck, it's gonna be a while before I have time to start Kuroko no Basket, isn't it?

[kdinjenzen]

Realized I forgot to ask but which anime are on your plate for this Fall season?

Chainsaw Man, Spy x Family Part 2, Bocchi the Rock!, Akiba Meido Sensou, Do It Yourself!!, Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury, and Arknights: Reimei Zensou.

DONATE FOR FIC: SEQUEL EDITION!

Hey, so the US is once again having major issues, and donating to organizations that can help is one of the most effective things we can do right now. In exchange for a $10+ donation to one of the linked organizations, I will write you a 400- to 500-word fic. If this sounds good to you, read on!

Several other authors are doing similar drives; you can find a list here.

Eligible Charities:

Planned Parenthood: 

National Black Women’s Reproductive Justice Agenda 

The Center for Reproductive Rights 

RAINN 

National Network of Abortion Funds 

 About Commissions:

I will only have 6 slots available bc I’ve got chronic health issues, a full-time job, and other commitments. If you would like a commission, please send your donation receipt and request to ninthfeathers (at) gmail (dot) com. You can also submit the donation receipt and request by Discord if you already have my contact information there. Please do not use Tumblr Messenger or my ask box, that’s an easy way for info to get lost.

Your prompt can be as specific or vague as you would like, but I reserve the right to refuse a prompt or to tell you I will not be comfortable with a prompt unless it is altered.

All fics will be posted on Tumblr and to my “Oh Valley of Plenty” collection on AO3. If you would like them posted elsewhere (Dreamwidth or Pillowfort), please let me know.

 Other Notes:

Crossovers and AUs are fine

I do not write actor RPF

No reader-insert/POV/imagine fics

You can request sequel fics or fics set in the same ‘verse as works I’ve already done, but the prompt cannot be “add 400-500 words to (existing incomplete fic).”

I will not fill prompts in a way that would warrant an M or E rating on AO3. If it is impossible to fill the prompt with a G- or T-rated fic, I will reject the prompt.

Pairings are all right but please don’t ask me to write a pairing you know I actively dislike. Neither of us will be satisfied with the resulting fic.

I’m busy and in poor health so these things might take a while to get finished

Every person who’s offering something in exchange for donation receipts is holding donors to the honor system. I’m trusting you not to use receipts that you’ve already submitted to someone else to get a fic from me. Please remember that the end goal here is raising as much money as possible.
