Mashle: Shinkakusha Kouho Senbatsu Shiken-hen

In these anime, characters use musical instruments as weapons.
Usually shows up eventually in long running shōnens where antagonists all have their own gimmick. Also common in magical girl shows. And in wuxia shows.

Also, add Thunderbolt Fantasy S2, which doesn't have a MAL entry.

A list of anime commented/analyzed by the youtuber Bayfond. There is a playlist in his channel compiling the videos where he talks about them and the order displayed in that playlist is the one being taken into account here, I'll try to keep this list updated to his future uploads. https://www.youtube.com/@bayfond/featured (link to his channel)
He has also talked about the Scott Pilgrim Takes Off anime twice, but it isn’t in the MAL database as of the last update to this stack.

This stack consolidates watch recommendations for the Winter 2024 season from several YouTube critics/commentators. Stacked in alpha order.

Solo Leveling definitely led the way with the most pre-season hype, but out of nowhere, Gushing Over Magical Girls has produced a ton of reaction after the first episode aired.

------------------------------< Pre-season >------------------------------

These are recommendations based on hype, buzz, trailers, and sometimes the reputation of the creative team.

We're only half way through Fall 2023 and videos looking forward to next season have already started to appear. Like last season, ViniiTube is first out of the gate.

ViniiTube 1.07M subs: "Top 10 Most Anticipated Anime of Winter 2024". Covering new and returning shows. VT doesn't rank his picks so I'll just note they are anticipated.

GiggukVODs 78.2K subs: "Picking EVERY Anime I Watch in Winter 2024". 3 hours, 47 minutes. If there's an edited version, I'll take a look but no way I'm working my way through nearly 4 hours of YouTube video.

Probably Pretentious 11.9K subs: "Every Anime You Need To Watch | Winter 2024". A general run-down of new and returning shows that they are watching this season. I'll note any pithy comments on the appropriate show.

------------------------------< First Impressions and Episode Reviews >------------------------------

AH Brandon Reviews - added Episode 1 initial impressions.

Gigguk 3.56M subs: "Winter Anime 2024 in a Nutshell". G comments on selected anime from this season. Not ranked or rated. He doesn't explain how or why he chose the shows to comment on, but I think it is because he had something amusing to say, not because they are somehow "good". No chapter markers so I guesstimated time hacks from the transcript.

Glass Reflection 584K subs: "I Watched EVERY SINGLE NEW ANIME of the Winter 2024 Season..." Covering new seasonal anime. No sequels. No continuing or returning shows. Rating: KEEP, GR will keep the show on his watchlist. Rating: TOSS, GR will toss the show from his watchlist. Rating: HOLD, GR will keep the show on his watchlist for at least a few more episodes, the implication being unless it does something worthwhile, it will get TOSSed. GR didn't cover "Fluffy Paradise" and "The Unwanted Undead Adventurer".

Mother's Basement 1.34M subs: "The BEST Anime of Winter 2024 - Ones to Watch". Ten shows worth watching, plus the Bargain Bin (anime with a couple bumps and bruises on them). The list is not ordered or ranked. [aside] MB explains a couple of terms I have to take note of: "real robot" anime imagine mecha as mass-produced tools of warfare in contrast to the more fantastical, often sentient "super robots" that come from space to protect earth from aliens.

Otaku Spirit 21.9K subs: "Top New Anime So Far After Watching Everything!". Top 19 new anime after watching the first three or four episodes. "Oh my gosh, the thirsty anime fans are winning, winning, winning, winning, winning, winning, winning."

------------------------------< Mid- and Post-season Reviews >------------------------------



Updates to this stack will continue as more videos covering next season are released.

Anime that come out in 2024, for which I'm hyped for and anime that sound interesting, with the date they premiere on.
(The dates are the japanese ones)

Mainly from series whose main theme is not dance and sequences mostly come from opening or ending, sometimes from an episode.

Mangas de la Jump que se hayan adaptado a fines de los 10s o comienzos de los 20s

List with every anime the were/will be dubbed through the year of 2024, with informations about streaming that it will be available and the ADR Production team.

(OBS: Animes like "Frieren: Beyond Journey's End" will not be shown on the list since theirs dubs are just in continuos exhibition from a previous year, just like long-running shows like "One Piece".)

In this list are all the premieres of all spanish dubbing releases for the Winter 2023.

These comedy animes are so solid

i didn't include One Piece since it's an on going anime

i have a good BL manga and a good GL manga interest stack, as well as a interest stack for shows with trans characters - but i figured i'd just make a list of anime with *good* representation.

no bury your gays, weird age gaps, borderline SA, treating trans people as invalid, or other weird stuff here.

i've chosen to include shows where the identity is canon within the anime - not just in the manga or just implied. i'll add in the description what the representation is, but i won't spoil things by naming the characters :3.

will be updated as i consume more shows with lgbt characters (duh)
