Oh wow, so the Part Timer Devil FINALLY releases the new anime (yes, I know it has been announced long time ago).

Also:

Slave Harem in the Labyrinth of the Other World

Wow, at least this title is really honest, I'll give it that.

Continuously reading, studying, and (hopefully) growing.

Classroom of the Elite, Love Live, Tokyo Mew Mew, and Utawarerumono are my picks for this season. As usual, anything else will be decided by word of mouth once the season starts.

Of note:

  • Black Summoner and Tensei Kenja no Isekai Life are both action-focused isekai that avoid much of the sub-genre's worst tendencies... Slave Harem in the Labyrinth of the Other World is those worst tendencies
  • Bucchigire has designs from the Shaman King guy, but is really the child of Grimoire of Zero's director
  • The Devil Is a Part-Timer! is back, somehow, with a new director
  • Extreme Hearts is from the Dog Days crew
  • Fuuto PI is the sequel to Kamen Rider W, from the original writer
  • The Lucifer and Biscuit Hammer is happening
  • Luminous Witches was announced back in 2018
  • Prima Doll is an original anime from Key that has no involvement from Maeda
  • Shoot! Goal to the Future is an anime-original sequel to a manga that ended in 2003
  • Yurei Deco is the latest weird, artsy thing from Science Saru. The actual big name attached is Dai Sato, though

So far, it's mostly sequels I'm definitely watching. Made in Abyss and Dropkick are going to be the highlights, Love Live is always fun to watch... Classriom will depend on my remembering S1, and Rent A Girlfriend has Chizuru I guess. Oh, and Cardfight.

Other than that... Call of the Night I'm definitely checking out, anything else I won't really decide until they air.

Oh, right. I forgot Cardfight was Summer since it's been so long since season two of Overdress. Add that to my list as well.

I wonder if they gonna fully adapt The Devil Is a Part-Timer! or not. It certainly had a...controversial ending to say the least.

I read a couple of Fuuto PI first few chapters and I would say the manga doesn't really capture Tokusatsu more over-the-top comedy so I wonder which route the adaptation will go, manga loyal or the more similar to the live-action show.

Oh that is a surprising amount of sequels!

The Devil Is a Part-Timer! & Made in Abyss will be maybes. Because I heard the former kind of turns out pretty eh, and the mangaka's preferences for the latter were pointed out to me and now I can't unsee them.

I'll certainly be watching Dan Machi and Shadows House. Although I hope Dan Machi improves its animation.

I read The Lucifer and Biscuit Hammer after the anime was announced, so I might not watch it right away. But that will likely be excellent unless they flub the adaption.

Not sure why they're making a new The Devil is a Part-Timer now, of all times.

It's a low-budget sequel, by a fairly new director, to a continuity-heavy series (which will probably scare off new viewers), made by a studio that just shit the bed with Healer Girl, and is meant to promote a light novel series that's already over.

What is the logic here?

I've read volumes 3 and 4, and they're good, but they pile on plot very quickly. Season two is going to introduce a ton of convoluted complications, then end without resolving any of them. Are we then going to get a third season ten years from now, for a light novel series which concluded in 2019?

I've heard nothing but praise for Healer Girl so unless it suddenly went to shit in the most recent episode I don't see why it matters that its studio is working on this.

#15: Apr 22nd 2022 at 4:43:33 PM

The studio making an anime matters a lot, even if it's just an adaptation. Compare the amazing, energetic Yuru Yuri seasons 1 & 2 to the snoozefest of season 3. If 3Hz put so little effort into Healer Girl, it's logical to assume their next show, The Devil is a Part-Timer, would get the same (lack of) attention.

Hylarn (Don’t ask)
#16: Apr 22nd 2022 at 6:00:23 PM

...Studio isn't unimportant, but the staff generally matters more. And, to begin with, 3HZ has a good reputation and most people seem to like Healer Girl?

Yeah. Staff tends to matter a lot compared ot the studio, thouhg the studio that tends to hire similar staff tends to be seen as better despite the misconceptions.

[up][up] I elected not to rip into Healer Girl too much since this isn't the Spring 2022 thread.

But suffice to say, I'm sure those people who claim to like it fell asleep watching it and confused having a good nap with actually enjoying the show.

[up] That's rather dismissive. And frankly kind of insulting. And I'm saying that as somebody who knows absolutely nothing about Healer Girl.

...So what IS the actual issue with that show? I skimmed an episode and I'm not seeing any problems with the animation or anything?

[up] It's like they fed an AI a thousand musicals and told it to create one of its own. It seems "like a musical" on the surface, but it's so insubstantial it disappears like fluff in the wind. The music goes in one ear and out the other, leaving no impression behind. It's a Muzak-al, something you listen to for five seconds, then your brain tunes it out because there's nothing interesting going on. It just fades into the background.

Most of the positive comments on MAL sound like iyashikei junkies in need of a fix, honestly. "It's so calming!" and "It's so relaxing!" They sound like they could be Amazon reviews of a white noise machine.

What does any of that have to do with devil is a part timer when it's not an original though?

Also your comment on the positive reviews of the show feels dismissive as hell and unnecessarily rude.

I am dismissing the show, so that's to be expected. As for "unnecessarily" rude, I take the Red Letter Media approach to media criticism, so bluntly stating the truth is necessary.

Anyway, this is getting off-topic.

The trailer for Devil is a Part-Timer reminds me of the trailer for season 2 of One-Punch Man, where people saw it and immediately got concerned about the dip in animation quality. It's mostly shots of people eating, with little motion aside from simple pans and one or two quick action cuts, and the shading didn't seem as good as White Fox's either. Their previous show, which shall remain unnamed, at least had technically good animation, so I am concerned the show they are making immediately after it will suffer from poor animation and a lack of care.

Okay then. Healer girl's success and failures have nothing to do with devil is a part timer, as there's next to no primary staff overlap so mentioning it at all was pointless especially since your complaints all seem to be story related and not animation.

"Bluntly stating the truth when necessary" does not change the fact that you're being unnecessarily rude about people who enjoy a show that doesn't even have any controversial aspects you just think it's substanceless.

As for what season 2's actual quality will be, I don't know. Complaints and reservations on what the end result will be, that I find fair. It's obviously likely not going to be just like season 1, and the director, Daisuke Tsukushi, last directing work was Isekai cheat magician in 2019.

Well a trailer suppose to showcase and advertise the final product so they often put the stuffs with the best quality to in it. What does it tell you about the quality of a show when that is the best that they have to show for? Not only that, the drop in quality could also mean that they might rush the series, combine with the story quality dip it just isn't leave much to be optimist about.
