Previous Thread | Next Thread

At this point in time, the Winter seasonal shows have either wrapped up or are airing their finale this week. So, I wanted to hear your thoughts on shows you watched this season. Shows you liked, disliked, were surprised by, disappointed by? Let those opinions rip!

Like always, this thread can also be used for general discussions, recommendations, and questions. So, if you haven't been watching any seasonal shows, but instead want to talk about the finer points of Fushigi Yuugi, that is fine too.

As always, remember to be mindful of spoilers. If you want to know more about how to handle spoilers in this community, check the guide here (also linked in the sidebar).

I wanted to create a separate comment in this thread in which I have a couple meta topics to discuss. In no particular order:

Spring Kickoff and Bot Transition

Next week's thread will be the Spring kickoff thread and the official start of the Spring season. This also marks the point in time at which user-created episode discussion threads will no longer be allowed. If you would like to learn more about the bot, see the wiki, or last week's meta thread.

Episode Thread Wiki

Speaking of the wiki. I have been compiling links to all the discussion threads there. Check out the episode discussion thread index page that links to the different seasons. For example, here is the page for the wrapping-up Winter 2024 season. I am hoping that a future version of rikka will automatically keep the wiki up to date as well as new episode threads are created, but that will have to wait as I am pretty burned out from getting rikka finished up for this coming season.

New Frieren Community

The first season of Frieren just ended, but that doesn't mean that discussions about Frieren need to. In case you missed it, there is a new community here on ani.social about the series, !frieren@ani.social. Check it out and help get another community in the fediverse off the ground.

Just a disclaimer that I am in no way affiliated with the community, just want to help out these types of communities where I can. Discoverability within Lemmy is very, very tough for new communities, especially on realitvely smaller instances like this one. Good luck @hypertown@ani.social!

Too Much News!

In case you feel like there have been too many visuals, PVs, etc. being announced over the past weekend, the reason is that Anime Japan 2024 was going on. It is an enormous convention that takes place in Tokyo and there are lots of announcements that are made during the show. So, the volume of news posts should die down at this point following the show coming to an end. If you want a digestable summary of most of the announcements made during the event, Crunchyroll collected a lot of them.

Thanks for the shout out @wjs018@ani.social!

I created !frieren@ani.social and also plan to post news/fan arts/memes every time I find an interesting one, so there always should be plenty of content. For anyone who enjoyed the series, feel free to join! Let's make this community a thriving one!
