Synopsis: Tomo Aizawa and Junichirou "Jun" Kubota are the tightest bros you would ever see. They roughhouse and spar, but through thick and thin, they've got each other's back. Yet, there's just one small problem: Tomo is in love with Jun! Since she was young, tomboyish Tomo has been just another one of the guys; due to his extreme muscle-brained nature, Jun doesn't notice any of her advances—not even when she explicitly confesses. To add insult to injury, for the longest time, he didn't even realize that she was a girl. Tomo-chan wa Onnanoko! follows the comedic hijinks of Tomo and her friends as she tries to catch Jun's eye and escape the infamous brozone. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

Some thoughts on the new anime this season I've checked out. I've only seen the first episode of any of these so I might be wrong about them but here we go! (Spoilers for the first episodes of these anime!)

Buddy Daddies: It's edgier knock off Spy Family, but it looks like a lot of fun. Odd couple raise a baby but their day job is high octane murder. The tonal whiplash is the joke and the fight scenes looked great. It may not be for everyone but I intend to keep watching.

Campfire Cooking Isekai: It seems pretty low key but the food looks great and there's nothing her to rub me the wrong way so far. It will be low priority for me but if I have time and just want to chill out without falling asleep this is what I'm headed for this season.

Endo and Kobayashi Live!: This one looks like a fun twist on the weirdly specific otome villainess genre. Love that we get double romance in the game world and the real world. That last minute mysterious guy adds a little something extra too. I expect this one to be a delightful romp and will be watching this while holding hands with my partner.

The Fire Hunter: Wildly unique future fantasy that is absolutely gonna be dark and tragic. I got big Jin-Roh vibes from the first episode and it turns out it's the same writer, Mamoru Oshii. The art is incredible. This one is def gonna make me cry. This one could be a contender for anime of the year, and potentially a lasting classic.

The Ice Guy and His Cool Female Colleague: I love the concept of this anime, and I love the character design. But the first episode was sooo boring! I don't think I'm going to keep watching. Literally zero conflict, just young adults helping each other out at work and exchanging thoughtful gifts while some of them have minor magic they don't use for anything other than aesthetics. I was really hoping for something like a more grown up Kamisama Kiss but I don't think this is it. Dropping this one for sure.

Kaina of the Great Snow Sea: I'm obsessed with this one. Huge Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind vibes with a world full of strange biology and a remnant of humanity struggling to survive. Yes the CG character animation is pretty stiff, but the environments and the world are easily the most gorgeous alien landscapes I've ever seen in an anime.

The Magical Revolution of bla bla bla: Very excited for this one! I hate that the way too long light novel title gives away that the princess is an isekai because the relatively subtle way they handle it in the show is really refreshing. I love her wild and genki shonen protagonist attitude and I can't wait to see it contrast and complement the cool politeness of her genius girlfriend and vice versa. I'm also hoping the revolution in the title is literal because the crown prince is a selfish dick and the monarchy is hoarding magic that could benefit everyone. Another anime I'm gonna watch while holding hands with my partner.

Revenger: The grounded historical setting and gritty storyline clashes with the shonen anime character design. Also this is just a personal thing but I think that the crossed bangs X thing that's kind of popular right now looks bad. I'm still gonna watch it because the action is cool as hell but the character design is really out of place. Also I'm pretty sure that the young girl who kills people with kite strings is dressed like a sex worker, which is certainly a choice.

Sugar Apple Fairy Tale: Oof. This one is dealing with some real delicate topics and it could go in a lot of directions, some of them extremely bad. The main character does get told off for trying to act like she can make friends with the person she just bought and still owns, so we'll see. Also the action scene was crap while the candy making scene was beautiful so you know what they're prioritizing. I hope this will make the correct choices and state that 1) no one should own other people, even when they're a "kind master" and 2) 15 year olds should not date immortals who are centuries old. If the show clears these bars (which are shockingly high in anime) it will likely be one of the best anime of the season. If it doesn't it's just another piece of trash.

Tale of Outcasts: I'm a sucker for Victorian period pieces so I had to try this one. Honestly it's pretty disappointing. The costumes are nothing special and the story is pretty maudlin. Also I am concerned that it might Bunny Drop the relationship between the young orphan and the demon she's contracted to. Also her hair is stupid. It looks like she has long thin hair and is wearing a short wig on top of it. Why do her bangs go all the way to the back of her head. I think I might watch another episode or two to see if it picks up but I will likely drop this one.

Tomo-Chan is a Girl!: All the violence of Love Hina with not ensemble cast to enjoy with the added bonus of shaming the tomboy for being a tomboy. I couldn't even finish the first episode. It's too bad, if this had been handled better it could have been really cute.

Didn't even try it but I'm real bummed that the Trigun reboot got rid of my favorite character and replaced her with some guy. This season seems to really hate butch girls! I have since realized I'm not a woman but when I first got into anime, Milly Thomson was one of the very few characters in anime who looked anything like me who weren't one off jokes or bit part villains. (Shout out to Helga from Outlaw Star as well!) Really disappointed they ditched her.

Winter 2023 Anime Season

Here’s what I’m watching:

Buddy Daddies is easily my favorite new show this season. Following a pair of skilled but unlucky hitmen (Kazuki and Rei) who end up taking in and attempting to raise a little girl they just orphaned (Miri), the show is primarily a comedy. The humor mostly comes from watching two people who are woefully ill equipped to deal with a child having to work through the day to day challenges of caring for a little girl, from finding a good daycare to figuring out how to dress her. These mundane objectives are made hilarious through the lens of these guys being literal assassins. They go from shootouts to making dinner for their daughter. The show also sneaks in some truly heartwarming moments, as well as truly traumatic ones. Both Kazuki and Rei have tragic backgrounds that explain why they can’t just abandon Miri. The relationship between the two men is fun and interesting. While a lot of viewers are hoping for a romance between them, I just don’t see it happening. So far I’ve yet to see a single hint that the story will go that direction. Don’t get me wrong, I would love to see it, but I’m afraid there’s going to be a lot of disappointed fans at the end of the season. Other than that, the show has decent animation and excellent character designs (Just look at Rei when he’s in assassin mode. Just. Look. At. Him.), as well as fun peppy music. The series overall is just super watchable. There’s not a moment in any episode that I’m not entertained. Highly recommended.

The Tale of Outcasts follows a young orphan girl named Wisteria who can see a powerful demon named Marbas, a rare ability among humans. Marbas is immortal, very old, and very bored, so he decides to take Wisteria along with him to travel around the country, meeting other demons along the way as well as avoiding powerful demon hunters sent by the church to destroy him, one of them being Wisteria’s long lost older brother Snow. This show is a bit more light hearted and mild than I expected at first. It does have serious or darker moments, but overall the stakes don’t feel incredibly high at any given time. The charm of this story centers on the relationship between Wisteria and Marbas. Both care very much for each other, and thankfully (so far) the age difference prevents it from becoming a romance. If anything, Marbas takes an almost fatherly role with Wisteria, even if he sometimes forgets how fragile humans are and unintentionally puts Wisteria in danger. It’s a soft, sweet relationship that carries the series on its back. The animation is fine, nothing special, and the design work is pretty good. In particular, the demons all have cool designs. I’m not crazy about the music but that’s a small quibble. Recommended.

High Card is an energetic action series set in a fictional modern kingdom where 52 special playing cards give people super powers. These cards were accidentally (?) scattered across the kingdom, one of which lands in the possession of a young thief named Finn. After getting drawn into a battle for possession of another card between rival groups seeking to collect them, Finn is recruited to join High Card, an organization trying to gather all the cards for the king. This is a very colorful, vibrant series with a fun setting, exciting battles, and excellent visuals. The characters are cool, especially Wendy, a somewhat shy and mousy young woman who turns into a batshit crazy, unstoppable killing machine when she uses her card, and Chris, the flippant ladies’ man who is rendered immortal by his card’s ability (and there’s obviously more to him than meets the eye). The animation is slick. The music is, in my opinion, the best of the season (both the opening and ending themes are absolute bangers). Honestly, if not for Buddy Daddies, this would have easily been my favorite new show of the season. The show has a generally light hearted vibe but they’ve thrown at least one episode at us to prove how serious and dark the story can get. Highly recommended.

Bungou Stray Dogs has a new season (I think it’s season four?) and like with a previous season, it opened with a mini arc that’s entirely comprised of a flashback. This is something not every show can get away with, but Bungou Stray Dogs pulls it off. This flashback deals with the creation of the Armed Detective Agency, a group of “gifted” (people with special powers) agents who work with the government to neutralize threats, most often involving other “gifted” folks. When the season’s actual plot kicks in following the flashback, it’s about the Agency being framed for horrific crimes and being pursued by powerful government-sponsored hunters. The strength of this series has always been its ability to balance its genuinely funny humor with the darker, more violent aspects of its plots. It does both things so well, and manages to overlap them without one aspect distracting too much from the other (something a lot of stories, anime or otherwise, struggle to do). This season might just be the darkest yet, with each new nightmarish development making the situation more and more bleak for the Detective Agency. The animation remains polished and the design work attractive and interesting. If you watched previous seasons, you’re definitely already watching this. If you haven’t, this is a great time to catch up.

Revenger follows a group or mercenaries who take jobs killing targets as revenge for people who can’t afford to hire hitmen, charging only a single coin that has been bitten into, to display the rage of the person who was wronged. A skilled but stoic samurai named Raizo joins them after they get involved in a plot by his lord that tricked him into killing his fiancé’s father. While they’re definitely a group of killers, there’s a lot of moral variety among the group, with some seeming to enjoy the kills while others simply want to see the guilty punished. It’s an interesting mix of personalities. There’s an overarching plot about a giant stash of opium hidden somewhere in the city and corrupt government officials, but the show is best when focusing on stand alone stories of random people needing revenge. The animation is decent and the character designs are varied and attractive, particularly the leader of the group Yuen. The backgrounds are especially nice, with lovely colors and lighting. The music is quite good too. It’s not my favorite show this season, but it has a solid spot on my watch list.
