This season seems to be absolutely loaded with peak!

Frieren, Love Through A Prism, Journal with Witch… Frankly, the latter two are already some of the best anime I’ve ever watched – Journal with Witch isn’t even halfway done, either. I haven’t actually started on Frieren S2 yet but, judging from audience reaction (and having absolutely loved S1), I have no doubts it’s peak.

I assume this is just me actually looking for anime again, but I’m feeling like 10 years ago. Back then, it felt like whatever was coming out was just the best! It’s a nostalgic feeling, and it’s amazing.

What other recent anime have you watched that you think is peak? Do you agree that the ones I mentioned are incredible? Are there other anime this season that you think deserve more of a spotlight?

    Journal With Witch is absolutely incredible, and Frieren is pretty good too. Someone else mentioned You and I Are Polar Opposites, and I pretty much agree with what they had to say about it. Another favorite of mine right now is the second season of Medalist.

    Medalist is a story about a girl who wants to become a figure skater, but in the figure skating world someone who hasn’t started yet at 11 years old is basically a washed up old lady. She runs into a coach who also started late, and then they have an incredible sports anime together. The manga is marvelous. The first season of the anime adaptation was good. The second season seems to have fixed some of the minor animation issues the first season had, and so far I’m enjoying it just as much as I enjoyed the source material. It’s really fun.

    Overall this season is nuts. It’s a good time to be an anime fan!

    My favorite this season is most definitely You and I Are Polar Opposites. Omggg every episode is just soooo cute, and the characters are so adorable.

    I’m also enjoying the 3rd season of Oshi No Ko (not surprised by this one as the series is in my top 3). Tune In to the Midnight Heart has definitely grown on me too! I started Champignon Witch and expected to like it more, but I kind of zoned out during the second episode. I’m going to try picking it back up this week!

    I’ve been seeing some great discussions around Journal with Witch and will probably start that up before the season finishes!

    I feel like the last few years have been amazingly consistent. Sooo many good ones getting new seasons, some great originals, and many thoughtful and beautiful adaptations. Sooo happy to see it!
