Top Anime Spring 2024 Week 3

Vote here! Winter 2024 Anime Season Top Anime - Anime Trending | Your Voice in Anime (anitrendz.com)

Whisper Me a Love Song takes over number 1 on the anime charts! It not only dethrones Jobless Reincarnation, but it also has the biggest improvement, moving up three spots. People seem to love this anime a lot!

[vanquishedvaliant]

It really is the season of "Anime about Music but Oops it's Actually a Yuri" Also featuring Sasakoi, which was actually just a yuri about Music to start with.

Euphonium need not apply, get the fuck out of here.

One of these years, the spring anime season will not be unfathomably stacked. But 2024 is not that year.

MUST-WATCH

Hibike Euphonium Season 3: And so... our last piece begins.

Jellyfish Can't Swim in the Night: An explosion of creativity and joy. The original anime we needed after last season's flops.

Kaiju No. 8: The single most kickass premiere of the season. Production IG does it again, lads.

Tonari no Youkai-san: So here's a show that wasn't on my radar until the first episode walloped me with how good it was. We may have a new ugly-cry masterpiece on our hands here.

RUNNERS UP

Girls Band Cry: The fact this hasn't been officially licensed yet is my roman empire. It's the Love Live Sunshine writer and director on a genuinely fantastic-looking CGI anime, give them respect, god dammit!

Go Go Loser Ranger: Super impressed by the concept and execution alike. Call this one a dark horse for most likely to snatch Anime of the Season when everyone least expects it.

Train to the End of the World: Somehow, this is the most coherent LSD trip I've taken. Not that I've... actually... taken one. Ahem.

Whisper Me a Love Song: Oh thank Christ the adaptation is nowhere near as bad as I was afraid it would be

Wind Breaker: A show that dares to ask the question: what is Tokyo Revengers was... good?

WORTH A LOOK

Bartender: Glass of God: Kinda boring, but also explores some interesting ideas with its focus on bars and bartending. I'll stick with it a little longer at least.

Konosuba Season 3: Somehow these losers keep being just funny enough to keep me watching.

Spice and Wolf: This is probably not gonna live up to the original, but still nice to be reminded of how good this story is.

Yuru Camp Season 3: Oh god what did they do to the character designs

ON THIN ICE

Blue Archive: Not gonna lie, solely watching this for the waifus. We'll see how long that keeps me.

A Condition Called Love: So I maaaaaay have been a bit too harsh on A Sign of Affection last season.

The Many Sides of Voice Actor Radio: Well... at least the Whisper Me adaptation is pretty decent, right?

LOOK AT THIS POINT I'M COMMITTED AND I WANT TO SEE HOW DEEP THE ABYSS GOES

Mushoku Tensei Season 2 Part 2: Looooooooooooooooooooooool

[iassignpeoplehomestucktrolls]

Do my faves swap around every 6 months... maybe... is that happening rn? Dw about that...

2024 Spring Premiere Digest

Licensing frustrations aside, there are a number of titles to look forward to this season.

Which shows do you review? 

We don’t review shows that are direct sequels, shorts, or (generally) for very young children. Anything not licensed and/or immediately available is off the table as well; series that are dropped in batches (the binge/Netflix model) won’t receive a premiere review but are eligible for recommendations at end of season. Shows with late release dates will be reviewed separately from the digest.

While shows may change category as they continue to air, for ease of reference this is the order that will be used when discussing shows on our mid-season and wrap-up podcasts. Please note that any shows released in batches/by cour rather than weekly will not be discussed on the mid-season podcast.

Why does all the yuri bait this season have way better production than the actual yuri
