Merry Christmas yall!🎄 Hope you're having an AMAZING time!❄️ The Winter anime season is upon us once again so here's what I'll be watching this year. As always we'll take a look at the current 10 most anticipated anime and then see if there's anything else that catches my eye.
Starting off with Solo Leveling, which is the most hyped up show of the season. I haven't been too impressed by web comic adaptations so far, but I've seen some interesting looking panels here and there so I'll check it out. Still yet to see Classroom of the Elite season 2, so I'll watch season 3 at a later date. Haven't seen Tsukimichi Moonlit Fantasy season 1 so not interested in season 2.
FINALLY! An anime I'm actually excited for! Mashle season 2 babyyy! I thought season 1 was a super interesting blend of One Punch Man, Saiki K and Harry Potter so I'm super excited for season 2! On the other hand, I was about to say Chained Soldier looks kinda interesting but I saw the horrendous CGI aaaaand... yeah that's a skip from me. Haven't seen season 1 of The Dangers in My Heart so not watching season 2. Same thing with Bottom-Tier Character Tomozaki.

Dungeon Meshi actually looks like fun so I'll definitely be watching it. I like food anime and the fictional food from the trailer reminds me a little of Toriko and a lot of Campfire Cooking in Another World with My Absurd Skill, which gets me excited. It's also made by studio Trigger and these guys rarely miss so I'm investing in this. Next we got... ain't no way. Blue Exorcist season 3? Why is every season of that show like 6 to 7 years apart lmao? I saw season 1 last year and even though the pacing was pretty good, I thought it didn't offer too many unique elements. In a way it kinda reminded me of Noragami where both shows must have had some appeal back in the early 2010s, but they've long been surpassed in pretty much every aspect. A Sign of Affection is the final of the top 10 this season and even though the synopsis looks kiiiinda interesting, I'm not a romance connoisseur so Imma skip.

Getting into everything else, I'll check out Metallic Rouge since it's an action anime by Bones. Tales of Wedding Rings ain't exactly my type of show but I miiiight just watch it for Granart who's total waifu material. I know this section is usually exclusive to stuff I'll be watching, but I gotta mention specifically not watching Shaman King: Flowers as I have 0 faith in studio Bridge. These guys butchered the Shaman King remake in both pacing and animation to the point where the OG version is actually better, defeating the entire point of remaking it. Not to mention completely ruining Yugioh. I'm not gonna act like studio Gallop was doing Yugioh justice ever since 5Ds (not counting DSOD), but man... Yugioh Sevens just takes away your will to live. I'm not even keeping up with Go Rush and I'm one of the biggest Yugioh fans in the world. As far as I'm concerned anything studio Bridge touches turns to shit.
Delusional Monthly Magazine is a maybe depending on if I get the time so no promises. Yami Shibai 12 is something I'll get to eventually, but not this season. I'll definitely be watching Great Pretender season 2 as season 1 was pretty enjoyable! No idea how that one character from season 1 survived (which was also shown at the end of the first season), but I'm interested to see the explanation and find out if she meets with you know who. I'll also see Monsters, which is the movie that's canon to One Piece. Hopefully the virtually unknown studio E&H Production does it justice.
