Wondering what people (that are still active here) are enjoying most this Summer 2024 in the anime world!

Personally, I've easily burned through new episodes of Pseudo-Harem thanks to the main female lead's charisma and range, as well as the slow burn of Days with my Step-Sister's mature take on the 'my parent married your parent and now we're related!' genre that's fetishized in a lot of anime.

So, anime-watchers of lemmy.ml, what has your attention currently?

I fell in love with Spice and Wolf. I can't explain it but for me it has the same comfort vibe as Frieren.

I unfortunately am not able to watch current shows as they air, but the latest one I saw was Kaiju No. 8 which I believe came our earlier this year. It was pretty good, and I hope they do season 2 soon.

even if its an unpopular opinion: slime season 3. It's a transition season with a lot of meeting and not a lot of action but it's ok because they are preparing for season 4 and the meetings are pleasant to watch.

I wish I could be in meetings that productive and pleasant ;_;

I suppose Nokotan wins by default for me. Everything else I've watched feels like slow parts of things I've already read the manga for.

It's fun, the songs are good, and I don't have to work too hard to get the puns.

It took me like four episodes to realize

spoiler"notsu" is an anagram of "tsuno"

[–] anon6789@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

I should clarify... I myself do not get the puns, moreso they are quickly searchable, unlike things like puns about kanji or cultural references.

If you're able to figure them out on your own, you're well ahead of me! 😁

For me it's Makeine and NieR Automata

I absolutely love the animation quality of Makeine

[–] Smash@lemmy.self-hosted.site 1 points 4 weeks ago

Same. Giri Harem and Alya-san are also pretty good

[–] FeelThePower@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 month ago

Alya-san and nokotan! :D

I think it technically counts as Spring, but Dead Dead Demons Dededede Destruction has me enraptured.

But if we're talking about Summer alone, hands down, Dungeon People.

[–] MeatStiq@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Dead dead demons is cool, of course new Demon slayer eps, Spy X Family, Alya sometimes hides her feelings in Russian.

Enjoyed Darling in the Franxx last month, but the second season was a bit disappointing. Just now discovering Jujutsu Kaisen, and that’s a lot of fun!

For the last month of so, I've been enjoying The Elusive Samurai. It's pretty great.

Most discussions are happening on the other instance that you can find on join-lemmy.org under art.

I have been enjoying Dungeon people and Oshi no ko S2

As we are certified trash people, Shikanoko Nokonoko Koshitantan. It's absolutely stupid but we love it.

We've been watching a lot of "comfort" shows this season. As others have mentioned, Slime S3 is like the comfort anime of board room meetings - lots of exposition, but it is moving things along and these characters have all been well established already so it's like hanging out with friends.

Laid-back Camp S3 was decidedly light on "Camp" but really brought its "Laid-back" game.

Dead Dead Demon's Dededede Destruction is a weird mix of Satoshi Kon, Mamoru Oshii, and slice-of-life that we're totally into. It also reminds us a bit of last year's amazing Heavenly Delusion (when is that getting another season!?)

Just started the most recent Demon Slayer arc, looks good so far, and the new Netflix season of Kimi ni Todoke, which is excellent even if we keep forgetting each episode is an hour long.

I got back into one piece and watched from thriller bark to dress Rosa and my god is it the best thing ever!
