Fall 2024

As this season slowly grinds to a halt (what with some series ending early, and others running long) I discovered something I should have been watching. That is Make Heroine ga Oosugiru! - "Too Many Losing Heroines". I blame a meme I saw on X of Lemon. I'm going to see how much of it I can power through this weekend. Although I'm not even finished episode 1 at this writing. I have to take it in small doses, but it's funny. Our protagonist is a straight man for a gaggle of girls slowly swirling around him who all seem to be stereotypes of the girls who lose out in romance stories. Just the opening scene lays it out, where he's reading a romance story and witnesses a scene right out of one of those novels involving his classmates.

As for next season....
There are three returning/continuing series. Re:Zero (Which I admit I've fallen way behind on), DanMachi (Likewise) and 2.5-jigen no Ririsa (Which I have not).

Everything else is kind of iffy, largely chosen for a possible cute looking character. That didn't work out too well this past season, as Reanette from "Mid-life Adventuring Crisis" was an absolute cypher who did virtually nothing for the entire show.

Party kara Tsuihou sareta Sono Chiyushi, Jitsu wa Saikyou ni Tsuki - "The Healer Who Was Banished From His Party, Is, in Fact, the Strongest". Just taking a flyer on this one. I can't remember why I marked it on LiveChart.

Kimi wa Meido-sama - "You are Ms. Servant" This should be silly. Guy gets a talented, yet clumsy maid who was also an assassin.

Sayonara Ryuusei, Konnichiwa Jinsei - "Goodbye, Dragon Life" Guy is a reincarnated dragon, trying to live the simple life in a Fantasy world, when a Lamia girl comes along and gets him to take up adventuring, and drive the demons out of the forest. (The 2nd and 3rd  PVs give very different impressions of what's coming up).

Saikyou no Shienshoku "Wajutsushi" de Aru Ore wa Sekai Saikyou Clan wo Shitagaeru - "The Most Notorious "Talker" Runs the World's Greatest Clan". Not gonna lie, this looks like shit, but it's got a white haired chick in it. I bet I don't last two episodes. The hero isn't skilled in anything but giving tactical orders to others.

Kabushikigaisha Magi-Lumière - "Magilumiere Magical Girls Inc." This looks nicely absurd. In the present day, there's a huge need for magical girls to fight monsters, with over 500 Magical Girl companies in operation. Our heroine, however, has been striking out at every interview, until a monster attacks while she's at her 16th interview. She helps out, and lands the job at a particularly small agency.

Acro Trip - "Acro Trip" Think "Gushing over Magical Girls" without the kink. A girl who is a big fan of her local magical girl is getting disappointed with her lackluster performance, and ends up joining evil just to challenge her and bring her back up to snuff.

Lemmie know what you think. What are you watching?
