If Sunshine season 2 is as much of an improvement over season 1 as season 2 of og Love Live was over its season 1 then it might be aoty. If it's just as good as season 1 then it will still probably be one of the best of the season.

I miss the cynical humor of early Wake Up Girls, before it turned into a generic underdog sports story. It would be nice if the new season recaptures that.

I honestly cannot recommend March Comes In Like A Lion enough if you like serious slice-of-life esque with over-arching stories character dramas + light comedy, it's one of my favorite things in a while and it's crazy to me that not enough people are into it, but I get it, it's def not for everyone. It's written by Chika Umino, the Honey and Clover lady. I've no experience with it but people like that so I need to get around to it. March is def one of my new faves tho, Shaft did an amazing job and I really wish the manga would be released here

I should actually watch Love Live instead of seeing my friends play the gacha game and I wanna watch the old Kino's Journey before the new one, this season seems p. interesting

The manga is very cutesy and I love it, but the chapters are short and formulaic in ways so I'm going to guess it is going to be some 8 or 15 minute show or something like that.

also Black Clover could be fun if they pace it well, Houseiki no Kuni should be good if the animation's decent the whole way through, more BBB, Kino's loving Journey s2, Ancient Magus's Bride, Osomatsu s2 (still need to finish s1), more Shokugeki, more Yuuki Yuuna holy crap this is a stacked season

gimme the GOD DAMN candy

black clover is more about the charming characters and recurring jokes than the fights, which are kinda generic. so, a faithful adaptation needs to have decent comedic timing to be any good.

I'm the lead trumpet player, playing loud and high is all I know how to do.

Huh. That's a lot of second seasons of shows I tried and dropped.

Def watching 3-gatsu S2 and Shokugeki no Soma S3 though. I recall Osomatsu being good, but unsure if I wanted more. Drunk Wife seems to be the dark-horse comedy front-runner of the season. I know nothing about Kino no Tabi but it seems good and acclaimed. I will also end up watching some J.C. Staff garbage or something similar.

S1 was in kind of a bad spot to end tbh, it kind of forced itself to be in a situation where the last third or so would have a stretch where Rei and the Kawamoto sisters aren't the focus (tho I do like Shimada a lot!!). That should change in a, uh, big way with S2.

Yeah, even the final episode focused on establishing new characters and adapted a flashback chapter from later in the manga, so the ending was all around weird. The Shimda arc was real good tho! but Season 1 def felt like a story that got interrupted by the season ending. I def feel like I'll need to rewatch the first season again before the second airs

og love live is ok but it's full of pretty limp drama and i don't think it really goes for anything to make it as especially fun or interesting
