Dropping my thoughts on episode 2 of Roze of the Recapture later tonight but right now my brain just realized something thats kinda fucking obvious in retrospect but its driving me insane regardless spoilers below this point
dude Roze is just an anagram of Zero how did i not fucking notice. "Roze" is just the same role as the identity of Zero from the original code geass, meant to hide the true identity of the protagonist. I hate how on the nose this is because I fucking failed to notice this till now. like, fuck. i feel violent after realizing this just now

Kind of breaks my heart how she doesn't even consider Schneizel in this. He used her weak mental state and suffering from Euphemia's death to convince her to work on FLEIJA. He manipulated her. I've barely talked about this here and I probably will if I ever do a full Nina character analysis but I don't ever see anyone talk about this.

2024 Spring Anime
Kaiju No. 8
This series started the same time as SpyxFamily and I've been waiting years for it to be animated. It's a series I was instantly hooked on. The animations in the teasers were incredibly sus but I'm glad to see it's pulled together.
This is a must watch for this season.
Noteworthy On-going Shows:
Delicious in Dungeon - Episodes 13-24
A Character based comedic fantasy that honestly has me hooked.
New Seasons:
Demon Slayer - Hashira Training Arc
I can't believe we're already here. I think this will be one of the last 2 or 3 seasons of the show. This is one I'm not sure what to expect in terms of story but I'm looking forward to it regardless.
That Time I Got Reincarnated As a Slime - Season 3
One of the Og's is back baby. This is one of my all time favourite shows, one of the original fantasy/isekai series. This series gets better and better and I'm so hooked to each character.
100% biased opinion but if you haven't seen this, go check it out.
My Hero Academia - Season 7
This is one that I haven't caught up on the anime for so I'm not 100% where we are but I'm pretty sure it's about to get real dark.
I think lots of people have put this show on the backburner or have dropped it entirely. But I really have to say we're starting to head into some of the peak of the series. It gets much darker and more serious and starts to shift from the original shonen high school style.
Additional New Seasons:
Mushoku Tensei - Season 2 Cour 2
I won't lie, this arc honestly doesn't look very appealing to me. That said, I have faith in the writers and will be watching and updating if it picks up.
Both of these shows from 2008 coming back were not on my bucket list but here we are:
Spice and Wolf - Looks to be a re-make of the original series
Black Butler - Public School Arc - New continuation of the og series
Also:
The Misfit of Demon King Academy II - Part 2
The Irregular at Magic High School - Season 3
Laid-Back Camp - Season 3
New Noteworthy Shows:
Wind Breaker
A new series about a delinquent who moves to a school where it's all about being the strongest and beating each other up. Honestly it reminds me a little of Food wars but if it was actually about fighting instead of food lol. The animations look stellar, I'm actually pretty excited to check this one out. ( I'd also say it looks completely different to Tokyo Revengers so I wouldn't compare the two.)
Mission:Yozakura Family
A newer shonen jump series about a kid who tries to integrate with a mismatched family of spies. Looks like a lot of fun and has a similar vibe to some old school SJ series.
Go! Go! Loser Ranger
Why does this look so good. This series genuinely looks so cool, the animation look out of this world and the story looks killer. From what I can gather it's a guy who always plays the villain and is sick of his role. The story shows the heroes as villains and gives me a bit of Invincible vibes.
(This is a Disney+ exclusive)
The Fable
I've heard that this is one of the most legendary comedies. I know there's a few live actions for it on Netflix but I haven't had a chance to check it out. I feel like the trailers don't seem to get anything across so this'll be one I'll follow up on.
Going through the extra shows is now the bane of my existence.
I want to go back to before all the isekai light novels were being animated.
After doing this I feel defeated that some of these look half-decent.
Whisper Me a Love Song
Wholesome girl's love series about figuring out what kind of love they feel for each other: 3 Episodes
The Many Sides of Voice Actor Radio
2 girls who's offline personalities are total opposites, their rivalry in a brutal industry.
Looks like it could be a fun slice of life series: 3 Episodes
Jellyfish Can't Swim in the Night
Looks like a really well done series about a group of girls forming an anonymous idol group: 3 Episodes
I Was Reincarnated as the 7th Prince so I Can Take My Time Perfecting My Magical Ability
The animations actually look amazing from the trailer and this series could be cute: 1 Episode
An Archdemon's Dilemma: How to Love Your Elf Bride
I think this might be a guilty pleasure show. I like the idea of the awkward romance between these two. Likely wouldn't reccommend this for a normal watcher: 1 Episode
Grandpa and Grandma Turn Young Again
Animations and concept look fun: 1 Episode
Notable OVA's:
Code Geass: Roze of the Recapture
A prequel to the original series. The animation looks just like the OG and I'm so stoked that this is coming out.
