Spring season is rapidly approaching! It's time to start looking ahead to the next season and thinking about what is worth watching vs. what isn't. This is also the official thread where I will watch for shows that you mention and will enable threads for those shows to be made by our resident bot, @rikka@ani.social.

Link to a list of Spring 2025 shows for reference

Please feel free to use this thread as a normal weekly discussion thread as well! Anything that would normally be in the weekly discussion thread any other week is welcome here.

As always, remember to be mindful of spoilers. If you want to know more about how to handle spoilers in this community, check the guide here (also linked in the sidebar).

Oh boy I (finally) finished Angel Beats! You know, it's a terrible idea to watch this in the library. It's hard to hold back those tears when there are people around.

SPOILERS

During the graduation scene, I realized that maybe the reason why I enjoy watching anime a lot lately is because it often focuses on people in their last years of high school. The Coronavirus pandemic kind of took that away from me, so I didn't get to experience a graduation like most people have.

At the time, I didn't really think about it. I thought it didn't matter much but maybe it does.

Anyway, there are worse things in the world so I don't want to dwell on it too much. Maybe it's just media's fault for romanticizing high school life :P I tend to guard myself from thoughts like that but alas, I too have emotions.

The end credits scene made a lot more sense to me now, and I really like that feeling of anticipation on whether Otonashi decided to stay or not. I think Hiroshi Kamiya's delivery of the line "Kanade!!!" will forever be ingrained in my head.

By the way, the ending reminded me of this video. It's way too accurate lol

Anyway, this week I'm watching Genius Party and Ghost in the Shell.
