Winter 2025 Anime Thread

Caught episodes 1 / 2 of Sakamoto days due to the recommendation. Not bad, they are short and sweet so I will likely keep up with it. I like the action and juxtaposition of highly training assassin who is now an overweight store clerk. I am curious where it is going to go.
It is on the silly side of the spectrum for me where a bit more serious is what I usually like. I don't know the word for it, but the good old Rurouni Kenshin 'oro?' weird face tear drop type stuff kills my immersion.

Zenshu is pretty fun. Isekai'ish, but the MC chick is an animator and can draw up combat scenes and have them appear - they look like actual sketches though which makes an interesting contrast to the regular animation of the show.
Not sure if it is meant to be serious or not - the 'solution' to the most recent episode's boss fight was pretty funny though.

It's because the initial web-novel was a good story. They have adopted it properly into a manga, then anime.
Mushoku Tensei is also the same.
I think the last 4-5 episodes of solo leveling this season are going to blow everyone's mind. That have not read anything about the series...
The Jeru raid with the end of the season Bering the Reveal of Beru

I think they're doing a really good job of covering the relationship stuff, better than the Manga really. The fights have been handled great.
The fight he about to have right now is a huge one. Beru is big for different reasons of course. His wife is getting much better play, i was confused by her story in the Manga. It felt shoehorned in.
No, at this pace the season will end with the end of that arc. They're covering 5-6 manghwa chapters per episode.
The leaks say it'll end around chapter 110.
I think the beru reveal is a bit better at the end of the raid but ms. Selner being scared and saying he has no limits is also a very good spot.
Good grief, absolute blue balls this episode of Solo Leveling. This is going to get nuts.

The music lead up to the boss and then the ending - one of the worst blue ball moments I've ever experienced.

When solo leveling first came out it was damn good, then I make the mistake of reading the rest of it. Season 1-2 and probably 3 are gonna be fucking amazing, somewhere around Season 4 it's gonna pull a Game of Thrones, or Attack on Titan levels of turbo gay.

That's the curse of web novels: Writer starts out with new ideas, but has no clear outline for the story--throw things at the wall and see what sticks. Once in a while he throws in fresh ideas, which works until he is either out of ideas, writing is becoming a chore, or the world building cannot absorb more power progression and things start to fall apart. At this point usually readership has declined and you get a lackluster ending, and the author moves on to the next series.
Sadly, well-constructed stories (where the writer made a plot outline beforehand) are really rare. Also because you can't milk the story for more volumes/chapters if it takes off.
Unpopular opinion: Solo Leveling is even mid as a Korean novel, it just went to the top in the west because of the art, and because Korean protagonists aren't "power of friendship" and "forgiveness because of the sad backstory" beta cucks like Japanese protagonists. There's a lot of better Korean novels, but then of course there's a lot more trash.

I agree there are moments of retardness, but the overall series was quite good.

Yeah I made the mistake of spoiling the entire series and even Ragnarok too.
