This Just Anime!

All jokes aside, Oshi No Ko was really damn good, but so were a bunch of other shows this season so we're gonna tell you about em. You probably know how it works at this point, we're gonna go through our rankings for the season, highlight the top 5 new and returning series and then give you the bullet points for the rest of them. From there we've got our awards to hand out, some recognizable categories you might see in another awards thing, and then a bunch of categories we made up because we felt like it. This spring had a lot on offer, and definitely something for everyone, so if you want to talk about your favorite titles one last time before being buried by the summer rush then this is the place to do it!

Episode 144: You Don't Hate Ghosts?

As you may or may not know Demon Slayer Swordsmith Village arc just concluded with its hour long epic finale episode for the season. We've talked a lot about it this season, but we're summarizing our thoughts here as well as getting into some good details about the finale itself, so spoilers are inbound you have been warned. Before we can get to that though, we've got a sneak preview at the summer season. We've got a whole bunch of really great looking returning series, cough cough Jujutsu Kaisen, as well as others to be stoked for, and a handful of new titles we're getting hyped for. There are some pretty strange looking shows to look forward to as well so come along as we figure out what's got us excited or maybe just confused.

Episode 146: Wait the Vending Machine Isekai Is Good? Summer 2023 First Impressions

No for real though, it's actually not bad. The Summer season can be kind of a mixed bag aside from big flashy shonen titles, but we're pleased to report there's a little bit of something for everybody this season. We're not going to be able to hit every new show this season for first impressions, but we've highlighted a couple that might be worth your time for good or maybe more nefarious reasons. No matter how you slice it there's plenty to watch this summer whether your jam is lovesick high schoolers, or badass battle dudes there's a lot to like in new series. Returning titles also get a couple of nods, the season is a little less stacked than some recent ones but with the return of Jujutsu Kaisen and Horimiya along with a few other big names rest assured your favorites are bringing it as well.
