It’s a new season for anime so I’m curious:
What are you guys watching or plan to watch this season?
As for me, I want to watch or am watching (in release day order): Zombieland Saga (season 2), Kumo Desu ga, Nani ka? (from winter), Mairimashita! Iruma-kun (season 2), Slime Taoshite , Shadows House, Sentouin, Hakenshimasu! and Seven Knights Revolution (I was craving for a classic fantasy show).
There’s only two series I can talk about more. I read the manga for Shadows House and Mairimashita! Iruma-kun and I’m really happy that they are getting animated (again in Iruma-kun’s case).
About Shadows House, it’s a really good twisted fantasy anime. It has spooky things in it without necessarily being straight up creepy (think about the Promised Neverland, the vibe is similar). The characters are nice and the dynamic of a " face " and a " shadow " can lead to nice relationships (well built, not necessarily positive). It’s a story of light mixed with dark. You sometimes have those super sweet and happy moments (there’s also very slight romance in there) and then you have those twisted events happening. Definitely watch it if you like those kind of things. I think it’s gonna be a " hidden gem " from this season. The manga is also a great experience, as it is fully coloured. Yes, COLOURED. That’s quite rare, but very pleasing.
John better be as idiotic and funny as in the manga, he’s pure gold.
About Iruma-kun, imagine season 1, but better. Yeah, that’s season 2. I don’t want to spoil things so I’ll keep it simple. There’s gonna be nice relationships building between characters (new and old ones), a few cool fight scenes, epic moments as always and, of course, that kind of humour this show has. We also go a little more into word building and what makes demons different than humans. If you didn’t get into season 1 yet and want to, now would be the best moment.
