Anime League Anime League - Fall 2023

[Jammin]

Frieren - Aura died the moment she saw Frieren and didn't run, it just took her a bit to realize it.
Kusuriya - Mackerel mixed with shredded cabbage should be considered poison just by itself.
Shangri-La Frontier - It's becoming increasingly apparent the cute shy classmate with crush on our MC may actually be the strongest IRL.

Jujutsu Kaisen
Kusuriya no Hitorigoto
Spy X Family

 

[Nii]

Jujutsu Kaisen (even an unfinished episode looks this good)
Frieren (I like how we rarely ever see normal priests in anime xD)
100 Girlfriends (that episode was simply unhinged, and a fantastic finish with Resident Hazard: Kissage )

 

[Demonspeed]

1. Sousou no Frieren.
2. Mokushiroku no Yonkishi.
3. Ragna Crimson: This show is really picking up.

HMs:

• Jujutsu Kaisen.
• MF Ghost: One of the best episodes so far. The fact that it had less scenes with the angels ruining the flow is no coincidence.
• Goblin Slayer: Elf is cool, but she was even cooler in this episode.

Philomela's Misfortunes deserves a mention as well, things are happening at last. Also, I never thought he was bad or anything, but hearing Murase in Ragna Crimson and Saihate made me notice his talent as seiyu more.

 

[Erinyes]

Kusuriya : episode was funny with some dark notes
Poor Jinshi

Frieren Same funny with some sad notes.

[Juviii]

Jujutsu Kaisen- I hate you, Gege

3. Sousou no Frieren: I want to become a warrior too...

HMs:

• Jujutsu Kaisen.
• Shangri-La Frontier.

100 Kanojo
Record number of kisses in an anime episode

I have been thinking about this watching the pool episode. I think maybe Yamada and the 7 witches had more kisses after watching the pool episode, but with this one it's definitely above.
