The Spring season is wrapping up at this point and the first Summer shows are just about to start. So, I wanted to hear your thoughts on shows you watched this season. Shows you liked, disliked, were surprised by, disappointed by? Let those opinions rip!

Like always, this thread can also be used for general discussions, recommendations, and questions. So, if you haven’t been watching any seasonal shows, we can talk about that too!

As always, remember to be mindful of spoilers. If you want to know more about how to handle spoilers in this community, check the guide here (also linked in the sidebar).

    The Spring seasonals from my perspective:

    • Apocalypse Hotel - I’ve watched the first 6 episodes so far. Seems fun, will hopefully finish within a few weeks.
    • Apothecary Diaries - This has been a good time overall, though there are some parts in recent episodes where it’s clear a scene probably worked better in writing than in animation.
    • I’m the Evil Lord of an Intergalactic Empire! - Watching the main character exist was actively unpleasant for me; I couldn’t even finish one episode.
    • Kowloon Generic Romance - Seems very interesting. Watched the first 3 episodes but the pacing threw me off so I think I’m going to seek out the manga and read that instead. Might come back to the anime afterwards if I like the manga.
    • Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuux - This had a banger of an ending. Wild show. Some people might think it’s paced too quickly; I personally found it engaging and fun this way. Easily my anime of the season. Wish I could recommend it to everyone, but I’m not sure it’s the best choice for those who haven’t seen the original Mobile Suit Gundam. wjs018 seemed to be enjoying it for a while though so maybe it’s fine.
    • Witch Watch - The animation is kinda meh but I love the characters and the goofs are fun. Will continue watching this one into Summer.

    As for summer, I have my eye on a few things:

    • City - Same mangaka as Nichijou, same studio as Nichijou. Need I say more?
    • The Summer Hikaru Died - I don’t know much about this but I heard the manga was good and it’s being adapted by Cygames so odds are pretty good that it’ll be worth my time.
    • Dan Da Dan Season 2 - If this is adapting the manga arc I think it’s adapting this is the part of Dan Da Dan where you realize that Season 1 was relatively calm and restrained actually. I can’t wait.
