Here we are again with another show.

first time I missed by a mile.

second time I was pretty close since I got the hidden gem part and only missed the score prediction by a small amount.

but this one is going to be different.

I actually think the cgi show by the author of blame has the higher in terms of story.... but seems like a like a more out of the blue pick.

so yeah... my score prediction is a 7.8 .

i feel like its gonna be a lot like last winters Heike Monogatari where it doesnt get a lot of attention but still gets a lot of positive praise from the people who did watch it. they even have a very similar vibe from what ive seen.

in the same vein, i hope its absolutley nothing like Heike because i really did not like that show

And if the synopsis wasn't enough to convince you to watch it, 1 look at the allstar staff lineup will do it.

well yes, there are always exceptions. 

but generally normie shows get higher ratings. specially if the none-normie show is not ground breaking.

a 7/10 none-normie show will always have a lower rating than your above average isekai.


plus even looking at the top 100, most of them are normie.

I really do hope that this show gets more attention, but next season is far too stacked with continuations (Nagatoro, Tokyo Revengers, Misfit) so people will probably see those instead. Such a shame, this show looks really promising. This and Vinland are going to be my picks to watch next season.

the other word would be something like "mainstream friendly" and that just doesn't sound nearly as snappy as "normie"

I've been hype for this series since last month and it's great that Mamoru Oshii is directing it. Hopeffully it'll be a pretty good comeback into what he's known for and that the show itself garners some hype.

^Mamoru Oshii is writing the scripts/series composition for this series not directing it.

Junji Nishimura is the one directing the series. They've both worked together mutiple of times in the past since the 80s. But Junji Nishimura's directorial output has not been that good recently (Vlad Love, Glasslip, Bakuon!!, Extreme Hearts)

His last good show being Windy Tales in 2004. Still, hope this show turns out good.
wasn't the directing the one thing everyone loved about vlad love?

Junji Nishimura teamed up with Kenji Kawai in 2004 on Windy Tales. Looks like they're back for this together! Kenji Kawai is my favorite composer ever, I absolutely cannot wait for this show.

I'd love to see this but I cannot find it in any of the usual streaming services. Sigh.

Edit. Just found out it's going to be licensed by CR in some territories.

I also found that this series was licensed by CR. 3 episodes at once were already shown by WOWOW.

It is depends on how good of a writer Rieko Hinata is and how much anime staff are willing to be faithful to the novel.

Best season in a long time. Three creative, adventurous stories that are super exciting to watch. <3
If you haven't watched "Fantastic Children", don't talk about "best anime". Thank you.

It does look like a hidden gem so far. Still, hard to choose between this, Kaina of the Great Snow Sea and Ars no Kyojuu

I’m not sold on this first episode honestly. The writing and presentation seemed pretty messy to me. It doesn’t seem to me to have the potential of recent hidden gems like Heike Monogatari, Odd Taxi, and Sonny Boy.

I’d love to be proven wrong though.

Heike Monogatari streamed online in Fall 2021, but then aired on TV in Japan in Winter 2022. Strange release schedule.
