You know, summer usually ends up being the most barren anime season of the year.

That is definitely not the case this time.

MUST-WATCH

Mayonaka Punch: The director of Ya Boi Kongming is back with a show about lesbian vampire Youtubers. Need I say more?

Days With My Stepsister: Don't be fooled by the title: this is actually a very contemplative, serene series exploring the complexities of family. The stuff it's doing with light and shadow has my brain on fire.

Monogatari Series OFF and Monster Season: The ultimate problematic fave is back, and it's just as spectacular as ever.

The Elusive Samurai: Dear lord, this is the most beautiful thing I've ever set my eyes on.

Too Many Losing Heroines: Screwball comedy at its finest. The first episode had me cackling from start to finish.

Shoshimin Series: When a show manages to gut-punch me with strawberry tarts in the very first episode, I know it's operating on another level.

RUNNERS-UP

Oshi no Ko Season 2: god dammit why is this show actually good now

My Deer Friend Nokotan: Shikanoko nokonoko noshikankan shikanoko nokonoko noshikankan shikanoko nokon

Twilight Out of Focus: Always down for more good BL, though be warned it dives headfirst into themes of abuse and pedophilia, so come in prepared.

Senpai is an Otokonoko: Really with the production was better on this was cause the trans narrative at its core is so fucking good so far.

Bye Bye Earth: Thank the gods for classic anime fantasy.

Arti- My Dear Moments: An actual good Key adaptation in this day and age? I never thought the day would come again...

WORTH A LOOK

Narenare: Cheer For You: Incredibly vapid first episode, though the art direction is unique enough I'll probably stick with it a little longer to see if it gets better.

Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin: This would be an easy recommend in a less packed season, but if you must let one good show slip through the cracks, make it this one.

ON THIN ICE

Tower of God Season 2: I'm willing to give it another shot, we'll see how long that lasts.

The Magical Girl and Evil Lieutenant Used to be Arch Enemies: The story behind this anime's existence is way more interesting than the anime itself.

Suicide Squad Isekai: Tappei Nagatsuki, my guy, what are you even doing?

A few captures from the twelfth episode of Days with My Stepsister. This is one of those shows where I'm left with confusion on the take away they want us to have. It's a cliffhanger, not in the traditional sense, but in that the emotions of our pairing aren't rigidly defined when we leave them, but still in this fuzzy space that they seem to be figuring it out themselves. An end that suits the series honestly.

I regret to inform you that a show called "Days With My Step Sister" is unironically one of the best anime airing this season.

Amazing episode as per usual, but this was one of my faves. Saki and Yuta both get very good and relevant advice from the unlikeliest of sources, but how long are they going to be able to run from their true feelings?

I didn’t expect a direct confrontation from Maya like that wow! Just straight up asking Yuta if he likes Saki. Well she knows, but just seeing what he’ll say anyway. Respect to Yuta for not showing any signs of nervousness and staying composed even tho he clearly doesn’t want Saki with someone else.

Lot of good stuff in this episode, for starters I love how happy and excited Saki’s mom got when Yuta praised her in front of the teacher at PTC’s. As a step parent being accepted by your new family is everything and it was a huge relief for her you can tell.

But the second PTC with Saki’s teacher was funny as hell to me. As a teacher saying your student is nothing like the rumours is crazy 😂 you’re not even supposed to be dignifying the nasty stuff high schoolers spread around, but her heart was in the right place. Plus she gave Saki the advice of going to check out the women’s college which I think is good for her

The professor at the women’s college was eccentric as hell, and playing relationship counsellor as soon as you meet a prospective student is crazy, BUT not a single lie was told and Saki needed to hear that stuff so I’ll allow it lol. Saki telling her to call her Ayse at the end made me laugh

I think Saki and Yuta trying to live separate lives and hang with other people will bring them right back to each other in the end as they realise how they truly feel.

One episode left, I can’t believe 3 months have blown by this quickly I’m gonna be so sad to see this end but at least we have the books going strong and the anime is soaring on the charts rn so can’t be too sad.
