What’s worth watching from fall 24 anime season
Okay, anime lovers, the Fall 2024 season is here, and my watch list is already overflowing! I've been poring over all the new releases, and I'm so excited to share my personal thoughts on what's worth diving into. It's always a challenge to sift through everything, but I've got my top-tier picks, some that are just 'mid' but still enjoyable, and a few that, well, I just couldn't get into. First up, let's talk about the absolute MUST-WATCHES – these are the ones I'm definitely keeping and recommending to everyone! "Blue Box" (Ao no Hako) is absolutely stealing my heart. If you're a fan of sports romance with a healthy dose of drama and relatable characters, this one is for you. The animation is gorgeous, and the quiet moments hit just as hard as the exciting ones. Another one that instantly grabbed me is "Magilumiere Co. Ltd." (マジルミエ®). A magical girl anime set in a corporate environment? Sign me up! It's fresh, funny, and surprisingly poignant. I love how it blends the magical with the mundane. I'm also really enjoying "Starry Bride" – it has this beautiful, enchanting fantasy vibe that just transports you. It’s definitely a top-tier fantasy pick for me this fall season. Now, for the shows that are enjoyable but maybe not groundbreaking – the 'mid' tier, as I like to call it. "Amagami Sister" is a cute romantic comedy that's pretty standard but still makes for a pleasant watch after a long day. It's got those classic rom-com tropes, which can be comforting, even if it doesn't offer anything super new. Then there's "Acro" – it has an interesting premise, and I'm still watching it, but it hasn't quite reached that 'can't wait for the next episode' level for me yet. It's good, but not amazing. Similarly, I've been watching "Tring the Kriel," which has some cool ideas, but the pacing feels a bit off, making it a bit harder to stay fully invested, though I'm giving it a chance to pick up. Finally, for the ones I've either dropped or am on the verge of dropping. "I Went to a Group Date, but There Were No Girls There" (合コンに行ったら女がいなかった話) sounded hilarious from the title, but the humor just didn't land for me after a couple of episodes. It felt a bit repetitive, and I found myself checking my phone more than watching. And "Byagakura" (バイガクラ) sadly just didn't click. The art style was unique, but the story didn't hook me in. Sometimes, an anime just isn't for everyone, and that's totally okay! Don't forget to keep an eye out for "NETFLIX COMING 2024" titles, as they often drop some amazing original series or licensed hits. This fall season truly has a diverse range for every anime enthusiast. What are your personal top tier amazing anime picks for Fall 2024?
