I haven't stayed in touch with anime this season. Watched trough 6 episodes of Dr. Stone the other day, seemed decent, but too common characters and plot became weaker. For it being the highest rated this season, doesn't seem worth to watch any others? or am I wrong? Kimetsu no Yaiba also got to me, the first part was really good, then it got more annoying with characters trying to be funny, repeatable annoyance overwriting the focus of the story. I stopped watching there and then... Mystery disapears, red storyline does to. I wanna watch anime, but to many end up bad... You're wrong. And that's saying a lot coming from me. What's your preferred genre of anime? Maybe someone can rec you something else. But Kimetsu and Stone are both going to be top tier. The manga in both only got better, so I'm expecting the anime to thrive.
I guess we have to disagree then for now. They both might get better. I guess I like mystery / fantasy / mmo styles. Among my top is: Hunter X Hunter, Naruto, Hero Academia, Overlord, Parasyte, Shokugeki, Erased, OPM, Mob Psycho, Re : Zero. I watched all top ones last seasons. It might just be me, I just easily get bothered by repeating patterns of "success" and them trying to please all by adding comedy or similar things. I like a solid story with unique twists. Not empty arcs that repeat whatever the previous arch did in a slightly different manner: "get a mission, kill a seemingly OP demon barly, save someone, meet a new friend etc". That's how Kimetsu no Yaiba has felt like. I'm not saying its bad, eventually the story is just a repeat of an idea. Much same like Dororo did last season.

But that is how the story progresses. Every show you listed does that exact same thing. You should give Gintama a try as a change of pace maybe? I think you maybe gotten over saturated by shonen anime and everything feels like a rehash.

Thanks, probably. I have watched Bakuman, which changes the way you think about manga / anime production and writing. It's a good anime! It's about a mangaka road to create his own manga.

It sounds to me like you just described Naruto

In a random aside. Samurai Seven popped up on netflix. I remember watching it a bit when i was younger but back then it was the dark ages of hoping fansub keeps releasing stuff so I never watched past first few eps. Been watching it lately and I'm about half way through. Pretty cool show. I miss this artsyle.
One thought that popped into my head is about highschool anime. Specifically involving an actual highschool. There have always been teenagers in anime but has it always involved an actual highschool or is that more recently that it's the norm? I can't recall it being a huge norm before modern anime. So many of the stories don't need to have an actual highschool and would benefit without. It's a bit frustrating how formulaic the highschool setting becomes even when they try do twists on the aesthetic it still feels a bit flat.

Just out of curiosity: so you did watch Yakusoku no Neverland? Because you are saying that you watched all top ones, but your list is missing it, although its definitely one of the best mystery / fantasy animes of the past few years imo. If you missed to watch it, you should do so

All those shows are just shounen shows. They pretty much all follow the same formula. HxH is a bit different and I'm not sure about Erased but the rest are just doing similar things. Some do it better than others.

Just watched ep 5+6 of Vinland Saga. This anime is heart-wrenching...my poor soul... The manga so far is very good, so if the anime adaption stays true to that you're in for a treat. How many chapters of manga are there and at what pace is it being adapted?
Currently 164 afaik, haven't seen the anime so I can't say anything to the pace. I'll look it up later.

Looks beautiful. Not to sound cold hearted but I'm glad that was saved.

Kanata no Astra is really starting to take off. I have a feeling that the second half will really trump the first one once we get through character backgrounds and the mystery gets slowly solved.
|
I've watch up to ep4 of Kanata no Astra, I really enjoy so far. Has some + Show Spoiler + 'oh of course main character never going to die saving girl from giant mushroom'. I am scifi space nerd though so maby just me. I've really like character development between the adopted sister after last too. Really easy to develop resentment that way that I could relate to in way...

yes I've seen it. It was really good

I'm hesitant to watch Neverland after Made in Abyss. That show scarred me.

Neverland isn't as strange as Made in Abyss.

I'm personally kinda "meh" about Kana no Astra. I felt like dropping it a couple episodes ago, but I got a bit too curious about the mystery so I guess I'll see the story the entire way through. The setbacks feel too scripted (perhaps a part of the mystery itself), and the characters sorta feel too cliche. They do get some interesting backstory and development, but those arcs are so short so far that it doesn't feel organic enough to me. I appreciate the scifi setting, but some Western scifi shows pull off the premise better.

It's worth it. It really is.
It's more of a psychological drama playing on the theme of David vs Goliath than a horror story in my opinion. The first episode is fairly nasty but I dont consider it scary after it, more suspensful borderline creepy if that makes sense.
You're sitting with a feeling alternating between concern and relief rather than a sick stomache.

Don't consider Made in Abyss than as any of these. It's more of an exploration adventure.
