The spring 2024 anime season turns out to be absurdly good! There are many highlights among the new shows, but I think chief among them are Train to the End of the World, Jellyfish Can’t Swim in the Night, and Go! Go! Loser Ranger! It’s also interesting seeing Shinkalion: Change the World try to be a little more mature. I wonder if it’s aiming for the kids who grew up on the first two Shinkalion anime.

Blog highlights from April

One Piece, the Five Elders, and Going Beyond Expectations

The One Piece manga has never been more exciting than it is now.

Time Well Spent: “Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End”

Frieren is indeed as good as everyone says. I’ve rarely seen an anime impress me this much.

Bara Bara Obari: Bang Brave Bang Bravern

A celebration of super robot anime that forges its own path.

Kio Shimoku

For fans of Ogiue (and Ogiue doppelgangers), this is a good month.

Closing

It feels like it’s been a while since all of my highlighted posts are just straight-up reviews and analyses of specific anime and manga titles. I wonder if this trend will continue.
