Spring 2025 Anonymous 04/25/2025 (Fri) 18:12:58 Id: 2c31a2 No. 58267
It's been a couple of weeks since the season began. Can we all agree that this is one is Once in a Lifetime tier? So many fucking great shows, can't remember the last time we had a season like this.
>>58267 >no loli Hmm, no. Better than the usual, but far from "once in a lifetime".
>>58267 If you normally watch seasons, this is pretty much business as usual.
>>58445 I more or less watch/am aware of everything every season since 2004. It is a bit better than the few past seasons, but nothing extraordinary. And peak anime will never return (given how lolicon content is not allowed basically in the industry)

>>58267 Kijin Gentoushou could be interesting, the source material is good, it depends how they will adapt it But that aside it's ages I'm not watching seasonal shows anymore, only reading mangas
>>58267 Last season felt like a drought. This season definitely has more variety.

>peak AOTS material >great highly enjoyable >mid okay. won't ever rewatch tho >dropped watched, hated, dropped >n/a haven't watched yet. no opinion so far. Apocalypse Hotel and Maebashi Witches carry this season for me. Most disappointing is Kowloon Generic Romance. If it didn't have an okama faggot, it would been in peak tier.
>>59945 Can you actually explain your choices
I'm just watching Vigilantes and Anne Shirley, I don't really get the hype. Seems like a normal season.
>>59982 Sure. But to not ramble too much, I'll just cover the Peak / Great tier ones. >Apocalypse Hotel Extremely comfy. Very likable MC and cast. Also the first 3D anime I've enjoyed in a long time. Episodes are always the highlight of my week. >Maebashi Witches I enjoy the banter and roasting between the girls. I was sold when that one girl said she hated fatties. kek. Also, interesting story since it's about these imperfect girls overcoming their flaws & growing as people. >Uma Musume: Cinderella Gray Fun autistic MC. Makes me want to root for her. This series has always been the most realistic sports anime imo. MCs don't always win & it shows how athletes cope and deal with struggles. >Mono What can I say. Just a comfy vibe overall. The lighthearted characters and humor are just my cup of tea. >Aharen-san (season 2) Two autismos in love is so fun to watch. Also, BIG plus for these two actually being a girlfriend & boyfriend. Most shitty romcoms don't progress to that point at all. >Witch Watch Also another fun couple to watch. The retarded magical mishaps are fun visual gags too. >Idol Precure The first GOOD precure since Tropical Rouge in 2021. The last three seasons have been utter dogshit. >Pokemon Horizons Rarely do I watch a long anime with 93+ episodes without hating or dropping it. I have to respect this show for giving me 2 years of consistently solid episodes (not AOTS tier, but ok) and not being pure cancer like the Ash trash that came before it. >KonoSuba OVA Just watched them today. Still a ton of fun watching these retards. >Kowloon Generic Romance Still enjoyable and it use to be an AOTS contender imo. But the okama faggotry dropped it down so many places. >mid anime
[Expand Post]I don't hate these shows and will stick with them until their finales. But I also know that they are One and Done experiences for me. Not something I would willingly rewatch in the future. >dropped anime Garbage. Plain and simple. Look, I was fair. We all have our likes and dislikes, right. I gave these anime a shot by watching 1-3 episodes. And they sucked balls. They just didn't gel with me, personally.
>>58267 Eh just like with winter I preferred last years there's at least some interesting things to watch this spring though compared to winter
>>60108 Thanks, way more useful than a tier list. I'm enjoying Precure a lot and I usually don't pay attention to that at all. I read the Kowloon manga for a while and did not care for it, my feelings are that rather that being good it promised good things and never delivered on them. I don't know how you can like mono but drop atto's anime.
>>58267 Yeah, this season is great since at least there's an anime I’m watching, and one is better than nothing
This season is frustrated in how there are several shows that are year-end contenders but all the others just feel like junk meant to fill up all the other slots. I've completely lost track of my lower tiers and which things I'm watching and which I'll come back to. At least last season I knew I wasn't going to watch all the isekai and I had a much smaller schedule of much higher quality.
I know better than to expect anything from Kuroshitsuji in the year of lord 2025. I won't be tricked.
Holy shit this might actually be THE best season ever? from actually good to entertaining kusos, there’s so many anime to watch! Pic related: at least 3 episodes watched Let’s start from the most impactful impression >Gundam GFuarks Possibly one of THE worst Gundam ever made. Garbage mech and character design. They tried to appeal to Reiwa kodomos/Alphas with the “Clan Battle’ stuff, but tried to pander to oldfags at the same time by making it an UC entry with bunch of unexplained UC jargons, UC-style pretentious writing and dedicated an entire episode for CHAR filler. What the fuck were they thinking? They tried to make this anime seems serious by drawing sakuga battle with le epic BGM during fights where Machu struggled, but I can’t feel it. There’s no tension, no stake, no nothing because everything, especially the very concept of illegal Clan Battle (livestreamed everywhere LOL) is simply retarded. At least Witch from Mercury got many things that made the series INTERESTING, like all the yuribait, shipbait, actual good mech design and DRAMA. GQux got nothing except its retarded title. >Danjo no Yuujou wa Seiritsu suru Holy fuck the FemMC (Blue) must be THE most obnoxious 3DPD-coded piece of shit bitch I’ve ever seen. And she’s gonna win. Unbelievable. Give me Makeine S2 already to restore Blue’s reputation! >Hibi wa Sugiredo Umashi One of the best anime this season, but the title sooooooooo bad and un-catchy. A must watch for SoL fan and food fan as it seems to be the spiritual successor to Koufuku Graffiti. It’s nice that we got a good PA Works anime after the 3 garbage they made in the previous season >Rock Lady High class ladies doing peasant activity. Interesting premise, just like GGWP manga. But that’s all it has. The story telling is very boring and repetitive. Just like GGWP. Ep1-3 were basically telling the same story that they might as well be 1 episode. Dunno if this will ever get good. >Aru Majo ga Shinu Made The premise and story are average, not interesting at all. But damn the MC is absolutely carrying the anime with her genki dorkish personality and blatant bisexualism. >Zatsu Tabi Yuru Camp lite, with slightly more boring characters with slightly less good chemistry with each other. It’s still enjoyable and the MC’s naturally messy hair is pure sex. >Mono Another Yuru Camp lite, from the actual author this time. Shame about the godawful 4kids burgerized subtitle. Overall, it has better everythign than Zatsu Tabi >Takamine-san, Yandere Elf, Makina-san We got THREE nudity anime in 1 season holy shit. Elf is awful, but Makina and Takamina got some top-tier boobs. >SSS Rank Shoelacer >Saint Shoelacer >Dark Healer Shoelacer SSS is the best by far thanks to its comedic nature, but I’m afraid it’s about to go unironic serious garbage. Saint is starting to get boring, despite the cute Yumiela Dorkness-like MC. Healer is just another serious garbage. >Uma Musume It’s simply a good shonen sports anime. The manga eventually went into shit, but that’s still far away. >Intergalactic Evil Lord Ep1 was amazingly impactful, I thought MC was actually gonna be evil after experiencing such godawful women moment from his wife AND daughter (not his) aaaaaaaand it became a generic isekai with “evil” MC by episode 2 LOL >Katainaka Ossan Native isekai with interesting premise, but the MC is ruining it. He’s supposed to be an experienced sword master in his 40s but he’s acting like a typical humble beta noiser. And of course he’s an inexperienced virgin >YAIBA It’s nice that this old manga’s getting a high production quality full adaptation. Shame that all the casual pervert act got censored but what did you expect from 2025 japan? They’re spineless and hopeless. Not many people actually know YAIBA so I’ll simply enjoy this anime in silence
[Expand Post] >Lazarus It was ok until episode 3 they started shoehorning T-word and Black victim mentality preaching in my face. Hard drop. Typical American funded garbage. UTTER WOKE NONSENSE. >Shoushimin S2 BORING. S1 was great because of Osanai and Jogoro’s chemistry (+Kengo), but we have none of that here. I’m really sick of the journalist fuckboy. >Aharen S2 It’s just ok >Ninkoro Kill Me Baby but actually funny this time >Lycoris S2 Actually better than S1 since it’s a pure SoL this time, no serious story, no majima garbage >Konosuba S3 OVA Actually better and funnier than the actual S3 >Slime 300 I have no idea how I managed to survive S1 because this shit is total snoozefest >Kowloon Interesting setting, but quickly became boring. The gay lizard rapist doctor made me drop it. >Maebashi Witches I like the short haired tall girl, but that’s all >Princession Orchestra What if Symphogear was bad? Well, only Symphogear S1 was actually good anyway, S2-S5 were pure cash grab The rest are simply not worth mentioning Best OP: all shit. Unfortunately. Best ED: Ninkoro, Shoushimin S2 I’m currently watching 18 anime and I might drop 5-6 depending on future development. That’s still a lot! What a great season!

>>59945 Was whatever this is that bad? I want to frame this blurry elf on my wall.
>>60835 It censors the nipples. Kinda defeats the point. If you don't mind robot girls, this season's Makina-san anime has uncensored nips.
>>60692 >I don't know how you can like mono but drop atto's anime. I mean, I just like ALL the girls in Mono and seeing their chemistry & antics. Whereas in Hibi wa Sugiredo Meshi Umashi, I feel like only 2 girls carry that anime (imo anyways) and the rest are passibly ok. No disrespect, but I just like the Mono cast better overall. Also, I find cameras are more interesting than cooking. In this anime, they film stuff in unique ways like on kites and motorcycles. But the cooking SoL is just doing the same thing I seen a thousand times before in other cooking anime. Nothing new, y'know.
>>60849 AT-X isn't always the one that gets the uncensored cut, you know, but it doesn't not exist
>>58267 >Can we all agree that this is one is Once in a Lifetime tier? Just by looking at the covers in your picrel I'd say it's average. I'm going to watch gundam for sure, anything else here is worth watching?
>>60885 >But the cooking SoL is just doing the same thing I seen a thousand times before in other cooking anime. Nothing new, y'know. Huh? Hibi isn't even about cooking, they only cook in 1 out of 3 episodes.
is TBATE as horrible as they say?
>>61024 It's written by a Korean American. What do you think?
>>61003 I don't get it tho. It's adapted from a literal hentai. Why not just go all the way and make it uncensored. >>61024 It's a very mid and generic isekai. It's like a poor man's Mushoku Tensei.
We are halfway into Spring 2025 and most anime have aired 6 episodes. Enough to give you an idea of what your AOTS is. For me... >AOTS Apocalypse Hotel. Really a homerun on all levels. >best character Azu from Maebashi Witches. This angry fat bitch is literally me fr fr. >worst anime Kowloon Generic Romance. Moreso disappointing than bad. >Winter 2025 AOTS vs Spring AOTS 2025 Do I like Apocalypse Hotel more than Medalist? So far, yeah. Let's hope it stays god tier for the remaining episodes.
