Anime League Anime League - Fall 2020

[Wowzers]

Not sure how to deal with this yet but it isn’t eligible for this season. (Lack of episodes.)

Yeah, it’s literally starting the same week Fire Force is ending. I could understand if it had some awkward number of episodes, like 15-16, but ...

As if 2020s Anime scheduling hasn’t triggered me enough already.

 

[Wowzers]

Well, I just checked and the number of episodes is unknown... more to cone I guess.

I choose to believe 50 Episodes!

 

[Nii]

^ Supposedly it's going to have 16 episodes, meaning 4 episodes for the rest of this season, and then it will run for the entire next season (not 100% confirmed though, I think). So probably best to just let Shingeki be ranked with the start of the Winter season

 

[Demonspeed]

Jujutsu Kaisen - Beating up bullies, my favorite sport.
Haikyuu!! - Really intense. Sadly the animation quality wasn't even half as good as the plot.
Tonikaku Kawaii - Pretty much the funniest episode yet... There sure was a lack of Tako at first though.

Same.

 

[Asako]

Haikyuu (great end to the match, that was intense )
Danmachi (the fight delivered, and that Hermes twist was a genuine surprise)
Jujutsu (that scene with the mother literally made me go "oh shit..." )

Same

NOBLESSE- Dang, raskeria salty AF lol.
I do feel for her though tbh.

 

[Erinyes]

- Moriarty - nice episode, enjoyed the mind games and this Sherlock vs Moriarty.

- Majo no tabitabi not my favourite episode, far from it, but i appreciate the fact by meeting her various selves including the (very)flawed ones, Elaina was confronting/questioning about herself, her bad sides and also her doubts and fears ( like how she felt to have been unable to save people she met etc.).

- Haikkyu - well not my fave episode either it looked like a filler to me ? but I m ranking here coz i like this series but this season was overall below what i would have expected i do like it, it's good but not close to season 3 and previous, it s still lacking something it used to have, and maybe the pace is not good (maybe theres too much flashbacks about x or y character and attempts to catch audience feelings, but it feels sometimes forced, idk ??) but it had some great moments.

I would have loved to nominate JJK but im only at epsiode 7, i m enjoying it alot so far but i doubt i'd be able to catch it before the end of the season.

I havent started it yet but does Snk new season counts as Fall or Winter or both ?

I havent started it yet but does Snk new season counts as Fall or Winter or both ?

Just the winter season, and winter officially starts in January. I wanted to give you an official date but its ambiguous.
The last show of the Fall season will be Noblesse on Dec 30... BUT there is almost nothing on from Dec 27 - Jan 3. The new season shows seems to start Jan 4, which is a Monday, and our weeks here start on Sundays, so Jan 3 should be the official start.

SnK sticks out like a sore thumb... which is kind of appropriate due to the Japanese saying "Hammer down the nail that sticks out."

Do you think on the first week of the Winter season (Jan 3-Jan 9), we could vote for up to 3 episodes of SnK. I think it would be an appropriate penalty for them, since they would be on episode 5 at that point.

Jujutsu Kaisen - This is amazingly brutal and dark for a SJ story.
Tonikaku Kawaii - My newlywed wife can't be this cute. Season 2 when?!
Haikyuu!! - Good finale. Though I really hope that S5 will get better animation.

I'll think about it till January.

 

[Nii]

Jujutsu Kaisen (the OP sure was a nice troll...)
Danmachi (that rematch of Season 1 delivered, wow)
Haikyuu (good end, the Nekoma match can't come soon enough)

Jujutsu Kaisen - This is amazingly brutal and dark for a SJ story.

I see you don't know Chainsaw Man yet.

 

[Aurelius]

Jujutsu Kaisen
Simply breathtaking, best anime ep of the season.

Yuukoku no Moriarty
Moriarty vs Holmes pt.1 begins

Higurashi
That Old Hag , Mama Sonozaki tho

 

[Gajeel]

Danmachi
Jujutsu Kaisen
Tonikaku Kawaii

 

[Jammin]

Danmachi (As great as this episode was, it still didn't quite do the novel justice. Still great though.)
Jujutsu Kaisen (Just a perfect adaptation in every possible way.)

And that's all the anime I watched this week.

 

[Wowzers]

Jujutsu Kaisen - Outstanding!
Tonikaku Kawaii - There has to be a season 2!
Danmachi - Aren't you happy you don't live in a Greek tragedy?

Spoiler: Other great series

Golden Kamui 3rd Season - I wanted to vote for this series more, but too many good series!
Noblesse - getting right in one of the best arc's
Akudama Drive - their version of the matrix
Majo no Tabitabi - Amnesia Me was the last Me?

 

[Demonspeed]

1. Jujutsu Kaisen.
2. Tonikaku Kawai.
3. Golden Kamuy.
