This year had multiple shows about post-apocalyptic worlds and multiple shows about working in a hotel but only one anime dared to do both.

Overall most interested in the new To Your Eternity, Spy x Family, and Digimon, but for new series, I picked up A Star Brighter than the Sun based solely on premiere reviews and am fully on board. Also planning to keep an eye out for Wandance.

I've actually seen them do this many times over the years, maybe not as egregiously as yesterday. A related gripe is the release calendar page isn't using the names of new shows so this week currently has 25 releases with show title "SEASON 1", 7 being the same show in different dubs, others unique.

FLCL is a comfort watch, something I've seen more times than anything else by far. The soundtrack, visuals, and cool factor are unmatched.

Since the article mentions wanting to watch episode 2 when it drops, figured I'd share the good news that the YouTube channel streaming this dropped the first 5 episodes together (and episode 6 between then and now). :)

Tsubasa Chronicle being like the Kingdom Hearts of CLAMP probably helped drive me towards watching their earlier works that its worlds were based on.
(For an instance of a more direct sequel, I also had the likely common story of starting DB after DBZ.)

I'm always amused by the ones that claim to be USPS or highway tolls but have a phone number from the Philippines.

20. Independently listed special from a series is listed by the wrong name, such as the name of a different video
And I'm sure there are other ways it could keep going wrong if I kept the subscription, but I'm outta here.

Probably watched ~40 anime shows and 40+ anime movies from pre-2024 this year so it's tough to pick, but I decided to give shout-outs to My Master Has No Tail, A Lull in the Sea, Tsurune: The Linking Shot, Non Non Biyori, Blue Giant, and Her Blue Sky (finally released stateside).
