For the final discussion thread of the year, I think it makes sense to talk about the year in review. 2023 brought us many things from the actual, final, for real this time, finale of Attack on Titan, to a long-anticpated anime adaptation of the Pluto manga. I want to hear what your favorite and least favorite shows of the year were. Here are the seasonal lists of shows in case you need to jog your memory:

    Our watchlists don’t seem to have overlapped too much, but Zom100 and Tomo were great (haven’t watched the episodes Zom100 released today yet). I was especially impressed with the adaptation they did for Tomo given that it is a 4-koma. Between Tomo, and previously Bocchi, it seems like 4-koma manga have been getting some adaptation love lately.

    As for your get around to it list, I have seen Heavenly Delusion and Suzume. For Heavenly Delusion, it was way better than I thought it was going to be. I binged the manga after watching the show because it was really engaging. However, there hasn’t been any announcement for season 2 yet and I have read that it didn’t really perform well in Japan, so I am not sure a season 2 is coming, so we will see. Suzume is absolutely gorgeous. Every bit as pretty as you would expect and a audio-visual spectacle. As for the story, I was a bit disappointed personally, but it seems to vary a lot from person to person how much it connects with you. If the story connects with you, then it will really connect.

    Dead Mount Death Play is probably on the top of my get around to it list. I am a big fan of Durarara and Baccano, so it is something I am definitely going to check out at some point, but I just ran out of time to pick it up while it was airing.

      Oh yeah, I havent either. Forgot that was today.

      I didn’t even realise it was by the same author. It’s not even close to the same type of show as Baccano and Durarara, especially vibe wise.
