Fall anime 2020

And wow, it’s the last season of 2020! May the new year be a lot better, not just anime related!

{ Winter ‘18 }  { Spring ‘18 }  { Summer ‘18 }  { Fall ‘18 }  { Winter ‘19 } { Spring ‘19 }  { Summer ‘19 }  { Fall ‘19 }  { Winter ‘20 }  { Spring ‘20 } { Summer ‘20 }

Alongside the continuations and new seasons like fire force, danmachi,  mahouka koukou no rettousei, golden kamuy and so, these are the new shows that we started:

100-man no Inochi no Ue ni Ore wa Tatteiru 

It is pretty typical isekai anime, just that it has twist and they can go back to their world every time they do a quest. I could see potential in characters and their development, but they aren’t kind of characters I would care about or watch something with meh plot for. Maybe they are building up for something cool, but for now, it was kind of boring for me.

Akudama Drive 

Overwhelmingly cool show about criminals in a dystopian future world. There is not much to say about the story without spoiling other than being so unnecessary cool that I loved it an unnatural amount! The characters, the setting, the action scenes, the animation and conversations, everything is just so aesthetic! I looked forward to it every week! Gonna miss them a lot. Just beware of a lot of violence and blood scenes (even though they are mostly censored).

By the Grace of the Gods 

A really soft isekai with a boy who tames slimes. This is that one (at least) show of the season where you can just turn off your brain, watch some cuteness and forget about everything. It comes with no strings attached, you can drop it halfway and not think twice about it, it won’t make you feel bad in any way, just happiness and rainbows, and sometimes that’s what I need.

Hypnosis Mic -Division Rap Battle- Rhyme Anima 

Women rule the world and pretty boys rap to assert dominance. That’s it, that’s the premise and if you think that ridiculous, yes, it truly is haha If you want to have a laugh, listen to some rapping (can’t say much about the quality of it, but I enjoyed it immensely, good va’s!), go watch it. The plot quality is debatable to say the least, but it’s not really an anime about the story, rather about the 12+ guys and their friendships and rivals and well... rap.

Ikebukuro West Gate Park 

Although a little bit on the improbable side to happen IRL, Ikebukuro WGP showcases multiple situations where we dive behind the back of many realistic happenings in bigger cities. There is always some company in conflict with another thinking solving it in their way is the best possible choice, not taking into consideration what happens to the little people bearing their consequences. It is of course up to the “good mafia” guys to solve it. If you are reading the Webtoon Weak Hero and are in search for some more realistic gang divisions, then feel free to give this anime a try. It has a pretty lovable and crafty MC minus the high-school setting.

Jujutsu Kaisen

Ohh my where to start xD yes, you are looking at the fan favorite anime of this season and there is no doubt about it having that title. I can go on and try to convince everyone saying it has the perfect animation, soundtrack, appearance of the characters and so on but to truly experience it, you will have to watch it. Character development is on the slower track but it is understandable since it is obvious that the series will be a “long distance runner”. What impressed me the most is the perfect balance of humor and tragedy, so if you are one to typically enjoy shonen anime, give it definitely a try through the 3 episodes rule!

Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear 

A girl got isekai’d in a game and now finds friends and people she cares about. Oh and she’s in a bear suit. This was one of those shows I watched for relaxation. There are no bad emotions coming from it and you can just relax, watch something that doesn’t need you to turn on your brain and try to be happy. If you are looking for something serious, you won’t really find it here.

Majo no Tabitabi 

A witch that travels the world, visiting many cities and meeting a lot of people, hearing their stories and moving on. Not action packed, but has things happening throughout the eps. I thought it would be another happy show, but it turned to be quite dark in some episodes. Most episodes have their separate story with minimal connection to the previous ones and some are heartwarming and some are downright grim. Overall, the plot is interesting and the MCs development and way of thinking is interesting too! 

Maoujou de Oyasumi

I KNEW this one is gonna be good when I first read the description of the manga in the bookstore 2 years ago xD What you see above is a small princess who wishes nothing more than a good sleep and a bunch of demons who decided to capture her. It becomes clear early on that she isn’t your typical prisoner as she sets out on quests to find stuff to make her rest more comfortable and NOTHING is gonna stand in her way. Your time watching this anime will be filled with heartfelt laughter and love for the all the characters. Yes, some people might be triggered by her actions and personality but I do believe since I (as a person who prefers to watch shonen) am impressed with it, a great number of people will like it.

Munou na Nana

I really love this anime. MC is an antagonist, pretty much an antihero, but she was made to believe that she is the hero. She is very smart, so anything she plots end up interesting. This show always keeps me on the end of my seat. And it’s a great combination of everyone has supernatural abilities + high school setting, but with a darker twist to it. It’s one of my favorites this season! 

Noblesse

I read the webtoon and I am fan of it, so I am really happy to see Noblesse became an anime! Characters are really awesome and plot is action packed. I’m sure you won’t regret watching it! The humor, the lore and the action is very well balanced and it’s just a good story. If you feel like you really like the anime, but something is missing and you have some time, the webtoon is amazing! Of course, they actually did the anime quite well, but some jokes or additional train of thought that goes in the characters head cannot be all transferred into the animation. Oh and - watch Noblesse: Awakening before this! That’s like the crash course of the first arc of the story.

Taiso Samurai 

A MAPPA anime about a japanese gymnast on the verge of retirement, his daughter and a ninja they adopted! That about covers it! It’s a soft and heartwarming story that really leaves a good feeling after watching it. The characters are lovable and the drama side of the story levels out with humor pretty well, without glossing over stuff too much. I can’t say much about the sports aspect since I don’t know much, but it was worth the watch even though it isn’t the most amazing action-packed anime ever. But it was a solid story, good charas and was just soft.

With a Dog AND a Cat, Every Day is Fun

One and a half minute of a lady with a cat and a dog being incredibly relatable.

Yuukoku no Moriarty

Ah yes, I’m a sucker for every possible variation of sherlock homes, so it’s no wonder how much I enjoyed this. It’s centered about Moriarty, but Sherlock has his time in the later half of the show. The animation is just so beautiful, I loved the stories and mysteries and the way they handled Moriarty as a character. Also a good mixture of mystery, people being hideous creatures, main characters being pretty af and humor. I should continue to the manga now.

Dropped: MAGATSU WAHRHEIT, The Day I Became a God   

[curestardust]

if you want: protagonist who isn’t your typical protagonist which is supposed to be good even though she is boring and annoying as hell / fantasy magic world / episodical / mix of dark and light stories  

To sum up my feelings right now, they’d be “sleep deprived” and “disappointed”.

From the cover art and the summary, “Majo no Tabitabi” seems like a cute, chill, SoL anime about a witch who travels around a fictional universe. And it kind of is just that. Except it’s not really cute, or chill, or SoL. It’s more... boring, infuriating, directionless and edgy.

For what I liked: the art and animation are very pretty and smooth, and the way magic was portrayed really packed a punch. The very first episode was a banger (maybe setting expectations way too high). The music is also nice.

Now for everything else.

Boring and Uninspiring MC

Maybe there IS a reason why the majority of main characters have similiar personality traits. Whether they’re likable, compelling, relatable, or just adorable to watch, the MC needs something to be interested in them or what they’re doing. Elaina, is none of those things. She is a very odd choice for a main character. Self-centered, narcassistic, uninterested in seemingly everything that happens around her despite her sole purpose in this is being on a journey. A journey is most commonly a metaphor for character growth; with each new place, new people, and new cultures the MC would encounter they’d grow with it. Elaina remains Elaina. She doesn’t want to help, no, because that’d infringe on her journey. She genuinly thinks she has a pure heart, when people being in trouble doesn’t concern her in the slightest. The anime only gives us like... 2 episodes where she actually shows emotion but then the events are disregarded in the next episode. She doesn’t grow from them. In an episode, she even admits that she ignores a lot of things because if she “realized” she couldn’t keep on going on her leisure little journey. Also a nice jab in the last episode where the writer calls her “No Personality Elaina” which is, I quote, “perfect for a protagonist as they’re a blank slate”. Yeah but dear writer, you seem to have forgotten that people want that blank slate filled as the story progresses, otherwise it’s as entertaining as watching paint dry.

Lame Side Characters and Same Personality Syndrome

Even the most interesting of MCs have a hard time carrying a show on their backs, which is why side characters are important. “Majo no Tabitabi” not only has very few side characters, not only do we rarely ever see them but the writer can NOT write women so save his life. Characters have a front; goofy, badass, mysterious. But somehow, all of them are self-serving, just like Elaina. All of them talk in that weird, condescending tone, just like Elaina. Except, because they have at least one character trait, they still manage to be more interesting than the MC.

Inconsistent Storyline and Genres

Sometimes this anime wants to be edgy. Let’s have a little girl who became a serial killer because her parents abused her. Sometimes this anime wants to be goofy. Let’s have the “Ripper” who’s taking “women’s lives” be a doll obsessed weirdo who cuts off women’s hair (because a woman’s life is their hair? What?) and uses it to make special dolls. But do we go from goofy to the extreme? Haha, no of course not. One episode is gore and depression and the next is either incredibly boring “life lesson” story that feels so hollow even a 2-year-old would find it obvious OR a complete goof-fest. Listen, I enjoy goofy stories. I enjoy dark stories. But the complete whiplash of every single episode was exhausting.

Boring x2

With the episodes not connecting to each other, Elaina’s lack of character development and straight up annoying personality, most often quite boring and meaningless stories, obvious fetish pandering in certain episodes (gross), very predictable outcomes, and an inexperienced writer behind this all, I was either bored out of my mind watching this or annoyed. Even episodes which I would’ve found entertaining were soured by Elaina to me. My problem isn’t that she isn’t a heroine who jumps to help everyone in need. My problem is that she is BORING. Not a single episode was carried by her presence. Not. One. Episode. It was always either the circumstances or the side characters who actually gave us a “story” and with Elaina’s allergy to anything interesting, if she hadn’t been literally dragged into these situations, what the fuck would she be writing about anyway? How pretty the streets are? Was she planning on writing a book for tourists for the best sights in the Kingdom? Blergh.

Suggest doing the 3 episode rule if you want to give this a chance anyway. Believe me, that’s plenty.
