Fukigen na Mononokean Chapter 75 - Leading Shore

Page 1

Abeno: I am the master of the Mononokean, Abeno Haruitsuki.

Requesting to open a door to the Underworld.

(Demon: I'm in your debt.)

(Demon: Farewell.)

(Abeno: Farewell.)

Page 2

Mononokean: Welcome back.

Abeno: Nngh..

We're...

Abeno: Back...

Mononokean: !?

Mononokean: Itsuki!!

Ashiya: Abeno-saaaan!?

(Ashiya: Abeno-san! Heeey!)

Page 3

Ashiya: Sleep well...

Ashiya: Wah... There are dark circles under his eyes...

Mononokean: Of course he's going to look awful when he's been opening the door twice day after day!

Mononokean: He put together this crazy schedule to finish all of his previous requests before the search for Aoi begins...! (Goodness gracious!!)

Ashiya: Sorry...

Page 4

Ashiya: But because of that, all of the booked requests have been safely completed as of today.

Ashiya: It's all according to Abeno-san's schedule.

Since it's winter break, we'll be able to begin our search.

Mononokean: How long is your high school's winter break?

Ashiya: It's about two weeks.

Mononokean: In other words, the search for Aoi will conclude at the end of winter break, right?

Page 5

Ashiya: Yeah...

Ashiya: Even if we don't have any results, it will be the end of the search for Aoi-san...

That's the promise we made with the Princess.

Ashiya: But...

Ashiya: I want to meet Aoi-san, too.

Ashiya: If I meet them, I'd like to ask about Sakae...

(Like, why they decided to make a human who killed demons an unofficial employee of the Mononokean, or...)

(If they were there on November 2nd when Sakae died, what happened that day...)

Page 6

Ashiya: That's why,

Ashiya: I'll believe that Aoi-san is alive, and go search for him.

Ashiya: We'll find him, just watch!

Page 7

Abeno: .......

Page 8

Teacher: And that's all your tips for winter break.

Teacher: This is a precious vacation for your high school life.

Your homework is to have fun in moderation.

Teacher: I'm going to buy my daughter a bicycle, so I'll be absorbed in biking with my daughter... It'll be great!

So class, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Ashiya: Abeno-san, homeroom is over.

Fusshi: Ashiyaaan, Abenoon!

Fusshi: Let's hang out this winter break!

Saga: The four of us can visit the shrine together.

Ashiya: Sorry... We have work this break.

Fusshi: I see. Good luck with woork!

(Fusshi: Merikuri!)

(Saga: Happy New Year.)

(Ashiya: Merry Christmas and have a happy new year!)

(Zenko: Have a happy new year.)

(Ashiya: Happy new year.)

Page 9

Ashiya: Alright then. Tomorrow, winter break will start.

Ashiya: Please link the Mononokean to the entryway of my house at nine o'clock.

I'll be prepared at the door ten minutes prior.

Ashiya: Let's do our best searching for Aoi-san tomorrow!

Page 10

Ashiya: Seeya, Abeno-san! Until tomorrow! (Bye~)

Abeno: Wait.

Abeno: You mean today, right?

Ashiya: Eh?

Abeno: Winter break really begins as soon as homeroom is over... right?

Ashiya: Today...

Ashiya: I had plans to get a Christmas cake on the way home...

Page 11

Abeno: Work takes priority. (Let's go.)

Ashiya: Hello, Mom?! Due to some urgent business, I won't be able to pick up the cake, so please pick it up instead!

Abeno: Mononokean, come.

Mononokean: Have a safe journey!

Page 12

Ashiya: Huh?

Ashiya: The Justice didn't come to meet me...

Ashiya: Damn... If the Justice isn't there, I'm not allowed to enter the Underworld.

Abeno: This isn't the Underworld, so you're free to enter.

Ashiya: ...Huh? Then, are we in the Mundane world?

Weren't we supposed to go to the forest today?

Abeno: We are in the forest. (That's why the Justice doesn't need to come.)

Page 13

Abeno: This is Aoi's house, which was build inside the forest...

Abeno: In other words, it's the Mononokean.

(The... Mono... nokean?)

Page 14

Ashiya: (Wh!?) The Mononokean?!

Ashiya: This is the main body?!

Abeno: This is where our clients from the Underworld come in from.

Ashiya: Huh...

Abeno: It's within the Princess's divine protection, so the plague plant and its seed bugs are repelled and can't infect anyone.

Ashiya: It's true, I can't see any bugs flying around or any plague plants...

Mononokean: With my power, I can remove them from the nearby vicinity.

Abeno: However, everything beyond here is out of the barrier's range.

Abeno: As I told you before,  you won't be able to sense a demon's aura if they've been infected.

I also won't be able to call the Mononokean.

Page 15

Abeno: From here on, we'll be searching outside the barrier for Aoi.

Abeno: The situation puts their chance of being alive at practically zero, but

If they survived, and they haven't returned to the Underworld or the Mononokean, they should still be within the forest.

Abeno: Don't overlook even the slightest trace.

If you find anything at all, let me know immediately.

Ashiya: Roger!

(This is the first and final search for Aoi-san...)

Page 16

Ashiya: Even if there's a 0% chance, I have faith! If the two of us are searching for them, the odds of finding something double!

Ashiya: We'll definitely find Aoi-san!

Abeno: Let's go, Ashiya.

Ashiya: Yes!

Ashiya: We're heading out!

Page 17

Ashiya: AOI-SAAAN!!

Ashiya: AOI-SAN!

Ashiya: Are you there!?!

Abeno: (This is unbearable... But I guess it is useful to have a human megaphone on a search like this...)

(Abeno: It's loud, though...)

Ashiya: Ao...

Page 18

Ashiya: Abeno-san, take a look at this. There's an 'x' mark on this tree.

Abeno: Ah?

Abeno: Yeah... I made that as a benchmark so I wouldn't get lost in the forest long ago.

(Ashiya: So it's a guidepost.)

Ashiya: Aoi-saaan! If you're there, please respond!

I'm an employee of the Mononokean! I'm Ashiya. It's good to meet you!

Ashiya: Abeno-san and I have come to look for you!

Ashiya: .....

Ashiya: Mmm... I don't hear anything right now.

Abeno: We'll be leaving the barrier in a moment.

Ashiya: !

Ashiya: Hmm... A sweet smell. Isn't this...

Page 19

Ashiya: (The scent of the blooms of a plague plant.)

Ashiya: !?

Page 20

Abeno: From here on is outside the barrier's range.

Aoi should be here somewhere.

Page 22

Ashiya: Plague plants are growing wildly all over the place.

Ashiya: And there are tons of insects attracted to the scent of the blossoms...

(Aoi-san is alive in this place...)

(They must be here, in this dangerous land that's covered in curses...)

Page 23

Ashiya: What is it?

Abeno: Try looking at the roots of the plague plant.

Ashiya: The roots...?

Abeno: It doesn't look like there's anything here, right?

Ashiya: Yeah... Nothing that catches my eye.

Page 24

Abeno: In the roots are where Aoi's remains should be.

Abeno: I told you those who are possessed by the parasite shrub grow into large trees, but...

Well, just in case, check the roots of the plague plants, too.

Ashiya: ...

Ashiya: ...Okay.

[Even though we believe that they're alive...

We won't be able to search properly if we avert our eyes from the possibility of their death.]

Abeno: I want to search this whole area today as a start.

If you notice something, no matter how trivial, report it to me.

Ashiya: Yes...

Abeno: What a listless answer. (Where's your energy?)

Ashiya: Beginning the search! FIGHT!!

Page 25

Ashiya: Aoi-san!! Are you here?!

It's nice to meet you! I'm Ashiya, an employee of the Mononokean!

Ashiya: Before I started my second year at Modoribashi High School, a demon named Fuzzy attached himself to me, and it hurt, so I went to Abeno-san to get an exorcism! I ended up with a million yen bill, so I'm working here to pay off my debt!

AOI-SAN! PLEASE FORGIVE MY DEBT!

Abeno: Your message is changing, y'know.

Ashiya: Aoi-san, are you here!?

Page 26

Ashiya: .....?!

[Could this perhaps... be...?!]

Ashiya: A cat's...

Tail...?

Page 27

Abeno: ...Ah?

Ashiya: Abeno-san, this...

Page 28

Demon: !?

Abeno&Ashiya: !?

Ashiya: ...Hm?!

Ashiya: GYAAAH?! A huge fuzzy caterpillar!!

Page 29

Abeno: Ashiya-kun?

Ashiya: I'm sorry!!! (Caterpillar!! Shoo!!)

Ashiya: Ow!

Ashiya: The hair of that caterpillar pricked me... It stings...

Abeno: (Geez.) There's some disinfectant in the medicine box, so we'll put that on...! (Though I don't know how effective it is for humans...!)

Ashiya: Okay...

Ashiya: .....

Page 30

Ashiya: (I thought it was Aoi's remains...)

Ashiya: (That was bad for my heart... (I was really flustered...))

(Abeno: Give me your hand.)

(Ashiya: Yes...)

Ashiya: (I was terrified and I don't even know Aoi-san personally...

So what Abeno-san felt must not even compare...)

(Abeno-san doesn't tend to show his emotions, but...)

Abeno: ?

Abeno: Sterilization complete. Resume the search.)

(Ashiya: Thank you for treating me!)

[Even though he's like that...]

Page 31

[If he's able to reunite with Aoi-san,

[Will he show a happy smile?]

(Ashiya: Aoi-saaan!)

(Ashiya: Abeno-san! There, deep in the brush! I saw a black shadow moving!)

(Abeno: It's another bug, huh...)

[If we end up finding Aoi's remains,]

[Will he be unable to stop his tears?]

Page 32

Ashiya: !

Page 33

Ashiya: Abeno-san? Is this place next to the ocean?

Ashiya: Just now, there was the sound of waves from that direction, right?

Abeno: ...

(Ashiya: ...Huh?)

Page 34

Abeno: Ashiya.

Guide me toward where you heard that sound.

Ashiya: Okay! It's through this thicket.

Ashiya: In this direction...

Ashiya: !?

Page 35

Ashiya: ...Huh?

Ashiya: There's no ocean anywhere, not even a puddle. (I don't hear anything, either...)

Abeno: As I thought, we're back where we started.

Ashiya: Huh?

Abeno: I looked at that tree's mark before we went through the thicket.

Ashiya: That's weird? When did we end up making a U-turn?

Page 36

Abeno: We've definitely been going straight.

Ashiya: !

Abeno: But it seems we've come back to where we started.

Ashiya: Where we started...?

Ashiya: Uwaah, it's true!! Are we in an infinite loop!? What are we going to do?!

Abeno: I wonder.

Page 37

Abeno: Back when I came here on my own to find Aoi,

The same phenomenon happened.

Abeno: Even if I went somewhere else, I'd end up walking back where I started. I tried to get around it, but it was the same no matter what.

Somehow, there's something here to stop us from heading deeper into the forest.

Ashiya: Then, Aoi's movement should have been hampered, too!

Ashiya: Aoi-san went into the forest,

Since it was outside of the barrier, and we're stopped from going into the forest, they have to be in the area!

Abeno: Yeah...

Page 38

Abeno: That's if their movement was actually stopped.

Abeno: Haa...

Abeno: The Underworld doesn't have an ocean, and I didn't hear any waves.

Could you have mistaken the sound of the wind?

Ashiya: If you say it like that... I guess it's possible...

Ashiya: I'm sorry...

Page 39

Ashiya: On the very first day of the search, I mistook that fuzzy caterpillar for a cat's tail, and I'm hearing the sounds of waves...

Ashiya: I've been holding back the search and... I've let you down...

Abeno: ...

Abeno: ...Haa...

Abeno: Idiot.

Ashiya: Sorry...

Abeno: Compared to the day where I didn't come across anything at all, today is better.

Page 40

Abeno: The guy who boasted that "We'll definitely find them!" shouldn't get disheartened this easily.

Abeno: We're going to steadily search like today, over and over again during winter break.

I'd be at a loss if we didn't find a single clue, so even a caterpillar is exciting.

Page 41

Abeno: At least try to keep your mood up, you easily discouraged five year old.

Ashiya: Wha!? (Easily discouraged?!)

Abeno: Are you just going to keep standing there? Do your job, easily discouraged caterpillar mishearing five year old.

(Ashiya: The nickname got extended!)

Abeno: Besides, it's not like you've only just started being a hindrance during our work, right?

I'm so accustomed to your mistakes that I don't even notice them anymore.

Ashiya: ......

Abeno: Now matter how much you mess up, you'll show me an even bigger mistake later.

Easily discouraged caterpillar mishearing garbage five year old boy.

Ashiya: ...!!

Page 42

Ashiya: AOI-SAAAN! WHERE ARE YOU!!

Ashiya: He's an ill-tempered, foul-mouthed blond-haired excessively handsome guy!! Abeno-san is always calling me such horrible names!! Hurry up and come out!! Shouldn't the second master of the Mononokean stop treating his employees this outrageously?!! Even though we're both employees, he's so much nicer to Fuzzy!!!

Abeno: Hairball is much quieter than this roaring demon, for one.

Ashiya: Who's a roaring demon?!

Abeno: How'd you even hear my mumbling? You roaring demon with long ears.

Ashiya: Aoi-san!! Do you hear Abeno-san!!

Fukigen na Mononokean

scene from manga chapter 75 :  Leading Shore

Abeno Haruitsuki

[tomodachimeter]

Fukigen na Mononokean Chapter 75 Spoilers

Read raws here.

Gangan’s updates to its site has rendered it kind of hard to read the Japanese since it’s so tiny and they don’t have zoom anymore (seriously why) so forgive me if exact details get a little sparse from now on... I don’t have the energy to squint so long at the panels.

Ashiya and Abeno finish a job, with Abeno promptly falling asleep after summoning a second gate. The Mononokean yells in a panic it’s only natural after doing two jobs in a day for so many days in a row.

Ashiya reiterates that it was Abeno who wanted to clear out their requests before they start searching for Aoi during winter break, and explains their promise to the Princess again and to the Mononokean that they’ll definitely find Aoi.

On the last day of school before break, the teacher dismisses them, and Ashiya apologizes to Saga and Fusshi that they’re busy with work to hang out.

Ashiya says he’ll be waiting for Abeno at 10am the next day to start searching for Aoi, and is about to say goodbye when Abeno grabs him and says pointedly that winter break has already started the minute class ended. Ashiya weakly protests a little he has to pick up a Christmas cake for his mom but Abeno drags him off while Ashiya frantically calls to tell his mom he can’t run her errand anymore.

They step out into what Ashiya thinks is the Underworld, and Ashiya realizes he doesn’t have the Justice with him so tries to go back in but Abeno says it’s fine because they’re in the forest, where Aoi’s house, the Mononokean is built.

Ashiya is predictably confused and babbles, but Abeno explains this is how clients from the Underworld enter the Mononokean for their requests, this part of the forest is still under the Princess’s protection so it’s safe.

He emphasizes again they’ll be going beyond the Princess’s area of protection to search for Aoi from now on, and they won’t be able to call the Mononokean. Ashiya flashes a peace sign at Abeno and says he’s sure they’ll find Aoi, and that their chances have gone up by 2 with him around. Abeno smiles wryly back and says they’re going.

As they walk along with Ashiya loudly using his megaphone voice to call for Aoi, he spots marks in trees; Abeno says those are marks he made in the past when he looked for Aoi so he wouldn’t get lost. They finally arrive at a vast expanse of wild plants and Abeno says they’ve reached the edge of the princess’s protection.

He tells Ashiya to check the roots of parasite shrubs for the possibility of Aoi’s remains, since parasite shrubs grow from the remains of yokai, some characteristics may be left in the roots.

Ashiya spots something long and dark that looks like a cat’s tail and pulls it out but it just turns out to be a minor yokai, much to Ashiya’s disappointment and Abeno’s exasperation

Ashiya contemplates how seeing what might’ve been Aoi’s remains terrified him so much even though he’s never even met Aoi and contemplates how Abeno didn’t even seem ruffled, but he wonders if Abeno would smile if he reunites with Aoi, or cry if they find Aoi’s remains...

A strange butterfly floats by and Ashiya suddenly hears the sound of waves and asks Abeno if there’s an ocean nearby. Abeno tells Ashiya to lead the way int he direction of the sound but they find themselves back where they started, seeing Abeno’s marks. Ashiya is confused on how they found their way back when they’d only been going straight, and Abeno says this was the reason he’d never been able to go further, he always ended up back where he started. Ashiya speculates the same thing might have happened to Aoi and Aoi was maybe stopped by the dead end like them, but Abeno doubts it’s really a “dead end”.

But Abeno says there’s no ocean in the Underworld and asks if Ashiya wasn’t just imagining things, and Ashiya suddenly doubts himself.

Ashiya becomes dejected about all the false alarms he’s been raising like the “tail” and now the “sound” and says he’s just getting in the way.

But Abeno sighs exasperatedly and says straight up to Ashiya that it’s already far better than the days when he found nothing at all back then, and asks if Ashiya’s words that they’d definitely find Aoi are all he’s capable of. He starts searching again and tells Ashiya to get to work while firing him up with insults haha.

Ashiya finally starts yelling for Aoi again furiously telling Aoi to make Abeno stop treating him like a five year old, and even overhears Abeno’s muttered insult, causing Abeno to insult him again. (a children’s fight... At one point Ashiya even goes “AOI-SAAAAAAN, ABENO-SAN IS BEING-...!” )

As they furiously keep searching, the butterfly flutters on...

AAA

AAAAAAAAA

THE SO MUCH TRUST

ABENO’S FACES

ASHIYA WONDERING HOW ABENO WILL REACT IF THEY FIND AOI IN EITHER STATE

ABENO KNOWING HOW TO FIRE UP ASHIYA AND PICK HIM UP OUT OF HIS SLUMP

May: favourite manga & favourite anime

What time of year do you like?

oh my a tough choice!

lesee…as of right now id have to say this.

Favorite manga: 

okay so this manga? i love this manga to bits

Fukigen na Mononokean is your typical run of the mill manga about youkai that co-exist with humans and of the titular Morose Mononokean resident who ‘exorcises them upon request’. 

Abeno Haruitsuki is a ‘seemingly normal’ highschool student who basically works in the tearoom known as the Mononokean that acts as the spiritual passage between the underworld and the overworld and he basically carries on, life as usual until he receives an unusual request for exorcism not from a demon, but a human who can see them. 

look at this adorable moe ass motherfucker

Ashiya Hanae, the actual protagonist of the series was a normal human who was suddenly possessed by a demon and sought Abeno’s help. Hijinks ensue, since the both of them get along as well as oil on water.

This manga is interesting in that it takes a plot that’s already quite common and puts its own unique twist on it, with strong characterization [Ashiya and Abeno butt heads but do care about each other. grudgingly so. to the point that 75% of the fans ship them], their own unique take on demons and an admittedly engaging plot line that does leave me wanting more! So! I really like it! :>

Now, Favorite Anime: 

okay so this fucking anime. This fuckin anime is fucking BEAUTIFUL

Mononoke [not to be confused with Princess Mononoke] is a horror anime following a compilation of stories that have to do with Mononoke and the stories that bind them. 

Unlike Fukigen na Mononokean, the Mononoke here are quite antagonistic towards humans. And with good reason; the horror of this series follows the conception of Mononoke and their origins and how it ties to their victims around them. 

You follow the story as Kusuriuri, the mysterious medicine man that seems to know just a little too much and seems to always be at the wrong place at the wrong time. and is incredibly snarky. the best kinda protags really.

anyway, i urge you to watch the anime. despite the fact that it has a manga it only follows one story while the anime follows four and as seen in the gifs it employs a rather unique and colorful art style that does absolutely nothing to diminish the horror. Rather it emphasizes it. 

so yeah. those are my favorites rn

thanks for asking!

Winter 2019 Anime Review

My thoughts on the current state of anime:

The new shows that come out each season can be broken down like so; The 3 Tiers of Golden Shit... 25% Shit-tier Waifu Isekai Trash 25% Shit-tier Waifu Harem Trash 25% Shit-tier Waifu Slice-of-life Trash / Cute Girls Doing Cute Things (CGDCT) (Most Isekais are also harems, but not all harems are isekai)

And everything else... 5% Decent ideas that had potential but are executed like trash 15% Mediocre Trash that Never Had Potential 5% Actually good

Once each season begins (sometimes looks can be deceiving), I'll put all the airing anime into these categories~ This is all my opinion and mostly for fun, but feel free to try and correct me if I seem mistaken about a certain series. 👌 I am *extremely* picky about what I watch, though, so if you are pressed for time and only wanna watch the best of the best from each season, feel free to use my "Actually Good" category as a guide. c: Generally, I watch everything from the "Actually Good" category (other than season 2's of anime I haven't seen) plus one or two from the "Okay" category. Whenever I try anything else, I immediately regret my existence.

* WINTER 2019 ANIME *

~ 5%: Actually Good ◍ Dororo - a masterpiece that the current state of anime does not deserve. ◍ Yakusoku no Neverland - a few issues here and there, but overall a pretty fresh idea with decent twists that will keep you invested in the story and characters. ◍ Mob Psycho 100 II - haven't personally seen either season, but I've witnessed enough to know of it's deserved prestige~

~ In-Between Good and Mediocre (Okay) ◌ Tate no Yuusha no Nariagari - *groans* Another Isekai... But, it seems to have enough uniqueness to garner some level of respect. The 2 girls seem like possible quality waifu, too. It seems to take a turn less taken in isekai (the protag being an underdog in power and having to work his way up) so that's always welcome. ◌ Kaguya-sama wa Kokurasetai - This one is hard for me to judge, because I simply can't sit through romantic comedy anime. I hear it's good for the sort of genre it is, so... benefit of the doubt. ◌ Kakegurui xx - Didn't see the first season, but it seems unique enough to possibly be good, yet I can't say for sure it isn't mediocre, either.

~ 5%: Decent Ideas That Had Potential but Were Executed Like Trash ○ Boogiepop wa Warawanai ○ Mahou Shoujo Tokushusen Asuka

~ 15% Mediocre Trash That Never Had Potential ● Domestic na Kanojo ● Doukyonin wa Hiza, Tokidoki, Atama no Ue ● Egao no Daika ● Grimms Notes The Animation ● Kemurikusa ● Fukigen na Mononokean Tsuzuki ● Piano no Mori 2

~ 75% Golden Pile of Shit ~ ☠ 5-Toubun no Hanayome (Shit-Tier Harem) - Some terribly misguided people out there actually think this show is good, and the waifus are upper-tier. Absolute lies, this anime is trash of the highest degree. I couldn't sit through 10 minutes of the shit. Garbage-tier waifus, garbage-tier EVERYTHING. ☠ Date A Live III (Shit-Tier Harem) - Ah, one of those "average guy meets supernatural girl(s) and gets roped into defending the world from evil" piles of garbage. It would have it's own category within the Golden Pile, but I thought that genre was extinct by now~ ☠ Watashi ni Tenshi ga Maiorita! (Shit-Tier CGDCT) ☠ Endro~! (Shit-Tier CGDCT) - This could've been cute, if the girls weren't shit-tier and it wasn't boring as hell. ☠ 3D Kanojo: Real Girl 2 (Shit-Tier Harem, Shit-Tier Slice of Life) ☠ Girly Air Force (Shit-Tier Harem) ☠ Kouya no Kotobuki Hikoutai (Shit-Tier CGDCT) ☠ BanG! Dream 2nd Season (Shit-Tier CGDCT) ☠ Pastel Memories (Shit-Tier CGDCT) ☠ W'z - sequel to Hand Shakers. Is so bad that it belongs here without being in any of the 3 Tiers of Golden Shit. ☠ Kemono Friends 2 (Shit-Tier CGDCT) ☠ Circlet Princess (Shit-Tier CGDCT) ☠ Meiji Tokyo Renka (Ultra Rare ~Shit-Tier Reverse Harem~) ☠ Bermuda Triangle: Colorful Pastrale (Shit-Tier CGDCT)

*Overall Thoughts on Winter 2019*: A pretty typical season as far as the ratio of good:bad anime goes, it seems. Though, something shocking was that there was only *one* isekai show, and it was actually okay?! Amazing, is the trend *finally* slowing down?! Oh, god, please... Though, I'm sure it'll just get replaced with some other shit-tier idea that starts out with good shows, but slowly devolves as the light novel authors shamelessly ruin the genre with shittier and shittier waifus and one-tenth baked plots. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Just like the "average guy meets and then ends up living with multiple supernatural girls" thing that came before isekai. Interesting enough, this season's biggest offender was shit-tier Cute Girls Doing Cute Things. Now, that is a genre I'm honestly surprised is still going so strong. By now, there are no ideas that have yet to be explored with it. Everything that comes out has already been done, but with better girls at some point. We need to have mercy and let CGDCT just die already. There hasn't been a watchable one since Urara Meirochou, and that show's existence in our current era itself is something of a miracle.

*Preliminary Thoughts on Spring 2019*: Next season looks like shit. No, like, *actual* shit. Shit even for an era of shit. The only true saving grace of next season, very possibly the only show worth watching whatsoever, is One Punch Man 2. *takes a look at the shows listed by popularity while sipping on black tea to match the color that my soul gradually turns into with each and every anime I see* Attack on Titan is overrated mediocrity. What the fuck is Bungou Stray Dogs? It has a season 3 already? Wut? Description sounds mediocre, though. Kimetsu no Yaiba has potential but that often means it will be executed poorly. Kenja no Mago is Shit-Tier Isekai. Fruits Basket... will be Okay. It will only really appeal to those who watched/read it in their younger years, like me. FB was a great shoujo of it's time, but shoujo itself is a very flawed genre. I can't see it resonating with new viewers, or being good to anyone who wasn't a shoujo fan prior. Fairy Gone also has potential. Carole & Tuesday might be Okay. Nothing else is worth mentioning whatsoever. So, most likely, there will be 1 Good show, and 4 possible Okay shows. The rest is a typical arrangement of Shit Harems, Shit CGDCT, and mediocre shit that never had potential. Again, only a single Isekai and this time it's shit. Oof. The End is Near.
