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).

Part of why you might not have watched josei before is that there are so few made compared to the other demographics. I remember reading an interview a while back with somebody from the industry where they talked about how those stories are often adapted to live action instead of anime.

The number of josei series running this season is actually unusually high—the manga for Dog Signal, 7th Time Loop, and Mofumofu(!) are apparently all classed as josei. Normally, you don't see more than one a season, and the only other multi-cours ones I can think of are Chihayafuru and Saiyuki.
