It's a shame it doesn't get much attention here, but there seems to be a decent amount of discussion for it outside of these forums.
I think it's one of the better shows of the season, but the beginning is a bit weird and it takes a while to build up its characters.
I've been eyeing it off, haven't gotten round to watching it yet.
The first episode was so try-hard that I dropped it immediately. I'm behind on most of what I'm watching this season because of real life so I have enough on my platter.
Netflix Partners With CLAMP & Kindaichi, Gundam Thunderbolt, Goth, Mardock Scramble, Thermae Romae Creators for New Anime
CLAMP, Shin Kibayashi, Yasuo Ohtagaki, Otsuichi, Tow Ubukata, Mari Yamazaki to expand anime lineup
I wonder if the new clamp series will have a proper ending.
I liked both Tsubasa Chronciles and XXXholic but neither got a very satisfying ending from what I recall.
Of the billions of shows I'm following this season, this is the only one I'm always immediately caught up on. It's a bit messy and dry, but I feel like it really benefits from having a quirky author with what feels like a specific vision as its writer. Newest episode was fantastic.
How is the Orange anime? I prefer watching Anime than reading Manga, but the Manga seems to have better reviews.
Fruits Basket 16-20 (2019, re-watch)
This back end of the season still feels a little weird as they quickly try and introduce every Zodiac plus tell Hanajima's story. It's fine and we get some standout episodes but it still feels a little awkward. Not much they can do about that, though, since they committed to an entire adaptation. That means squeezing a lot into this first season to let the second one have some breathing room (though, I'm still not sure at what point they'll finish season 2).
Homeward stretch to the season finale. Get those tissues ready again.

Beach arc definitely seems to take up the first half of season 2, or maybe even just a couple of episodes.

I loved it. One of my favourites from last decade.

Like a majestic .... like a rabid wolverine Eri is back to her healthy self and can finally indulge in her favorite past time, breaking her ass to boost Maina. It seems pretty easy to get as many part time jobs as you want in Japan, which is great for thirsty wotas and hey, Eri didn't die this time. Instead she gets transported to the Okami dimension? She seems to know how to handle it fine i guess. Meanwhile, back on "Lolis aren't necessary" Lolis are necessary as Aya finds out drawing cleavage doesnt bring all the boys to the yard. The parading of winners and losers at yet another ranking announcement ceremony is pretty brutal and gross. Aya just cant catch a break. At least Eri has a moment with Maina that reinforces their relationship (whatever that is).

I am like 2 episodes behind but it is a great show. The detective sequences are fantastic. It's my #3 of the season.
watch it weekly. nothing to comment on mid arc. beyond the dive within a dive I mentioned last week.
Too bad Jexhius and duckroll are banned so they can't shill Fafner.
Brace yourselves because the age of best girl Rachel is coming.

They both got sequels. I think Tsubasa's ended (was only a few volumes long) but xxxHoLIC's is on hiatus... like half of their series.... I used to be a HUGE CLAMP fan, but they've done some annoying choices in the past 10 years. I think a lot of their current series are STILL on hiatus :/ Drug and Drop.... Gate 7... but let's bring back CCS!
Oh hell yes, God of Highschool is my guilty pleasure. The plot aint great, but it's one big dumb action-fest, and that's okay with me.
Tower of God getting an anime is cool too. I won't even care if they don't get past the first few arcs because I completely lost interest in it after a while. Too many characters I don't care about, too much focus on power levels.

I really love how they captured the feel of early ToG artwork while improving it. This is my most anticipated anime of this year.
Congrats to Crunchyroll on the slate of original announcements. They all look really interesting especially The God of High School give me a tournament arc series.
I remember a couple of years ago they announced High Guardian Spice and the response was less than positive.

TBF, the reason High Guardian Spice got a tepid response is because anime chuds wanted to circlejerk the whole 'EsJayDubews are ruining anime' angle.
Pet 8
This is getting more messed up every episode, nevertheless it's going a good job holding my attention. Kinda sad it's not more popular.

I have a few episodes in queue, hopefully I'll be caught up soon! Shows is very interesting, not sure if the endgoal is solid enough, but the premise certainly is interesting.
I'm watching Pet too. Maybe it isn't as good as Eizokuen and Dorohedoro, but those two are possibly best of the year material, Pet is damn interesting thriller and has more direction flair than it seemed at first.
AnimationGate is a thing that thankfully never really took off.
I'll pop in to back up that Fafner, Fafner Exodus in particular, is very strong despite being written by Ubukata.
I'm glad they fixed the early wacko art but I feel Bam in particular lost something in the transition.I AM SO EXCITED FOR TOWER OF GOD
Edit: THE BOYS
When I was studying in Taipei, I would buy Naruto manga to try and translate. I still wish I kept those volumes to see how far my reading and comprehension skills have gotten. My early days of study were hilarious 🤣
"With both hands I'll use my power!"
i feel like there's an 'extract meaning' stage of translation into your native tongue and from there an additional 'make it sound good to other people who speak your native tongue' stage and i mostly don't bother with that last one lmao
getting the understanding is more than good enough most of the time
