Winter 2024 Anime Preview:

I've remarked before that there's very little anime to look forward to scheduled for 2024, but let us survey the nuts and bolts to be sure:

Continuing good anime:

Sousou no Frieren

Hirogaru Sky Precure

One Pace

Returning good anime:

Synduality Noir

Tsuki ga Michibiku

Urusei Yatsura (2022)

Certainly good anime:

None can withstand the power of instant death

Possibly good anime:

Isekai de Mofumofu

Mahou Shoujo ni Akogarete

Dungeon Meshi

Mato Seihei no Slave

Sasaki to Pi-chan

The wrong way to use healing magic

Pon no michi

Kekkon Yubiwa monogatari

Yubisaki to Renren

Solo Leveling

Saikyou Tank

Loop 7-kaime

Nozomanu Fushi

It's time for torture princess

Oroka na Tenshi

Akuyaku Reijou lvl 99

Gekai Elise

Metallic Rouge

Bang Brave bang Bravern

Majo to Yajuu

Saijaku tamer

Bucchigiri?

Meiji Gekken: 1874

Ishura

Momochi-san Chi

Sengoku Youko

So one great continuous anime -- Sousou no Frieren, 1 great sporadically released anime, One Pace, 4 series that barely make the cut of watchable, one promising new series that nevertheless will never reach the level of greatness, and 26 unknowns, most of which look like boring rehashed concepts we've seen a million times by now.  Surely something of worth will emerge from those 26 unknowns, but I expect a winter season consisting of fewer than ten weekly releases.  It's exactly as bad as I said it would be.

The Fall 2023 season will probably never happen again.  Enjoy its last effervescence while it lasts.
