What I’m Watching for Winter 2024

Welcome to Anime Rants! The seasonal anime for Winter 2024 will start within the next week or so. Compared to usual, I will be covering fewer shows for my episode reviews. There just aren’t many options that interest me this season. Regardless, I’m fairly excited for the ones that I chose.

Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End – Thoughts on Episodes 1-7

Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End – Thoughts on Episodes 1-7

That’s right – I finally started watching it! Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End is an unexpectedly good fantasy anime that started in Fall 2023, a bit later than most other series from that month. Because I knew nothing about it until halfway through the season, I didn’t cover any Frieren content on my blog. Well, now that changes.

Solo Leveling: Episodes 3 and 4 Reviews

It seems like, the last few years, fantasy with video-game elements has become the most dominant genre of anime. (Shounen is more of a demographic, but even if you consider it a genre, classic fighting shounens are not popping up as commonly as fantasy/game anime.)

The Apothecary Diaries Episode 31 Review – Excursion with the Emperor

The Apothecary Diaries Episode 31 Review – Excursion with the Emperor

This was an excellent episode of The Apothecary Diaries second season. One of the most fun parts of this series is watching Maomao unravel mysteries in the palace. Another favorite aspect of mine – which is more serious – is the focus on classism. Episode 31 provides an engaging mystery to solve while reminding us that it’s difficult to live in a society that allows sexual slavery and strict social hierarchy. There was also some fascinating world-building in this installment. Let’s review.

Solo Leveling Episodes 23 and 24 Reviews

Thanks for visiting Anime Rants! Today we’re reviewing the most recent episodes of Solo Leveling Season 2. Since depression and addiction are kicking my ass lately, this will be a shorter than usual post and may skip a few points worth mentioning. Sorry about that. Writing is hard when it feels like the world is burning and my hormones are a mess on top of everything else, haha. Anyway, please enjoy these short recaps.

Sakamoto Days Episodes 9 to 11 Reviews

Welcome back to Anime Rants. Sakamoto Days finished airing a couple weeks ago now, but I’m behind since I was taking turns each week between this anime and Blue Exorcist. Sorry for the delay, but here are some brief thoughts on the last three episodes of the short but fun Netflix anime, Sakamoto Days.

Black Butler: Public School Arc Review

When I first heard of the Public School Arc, I was slightly confused, as the story was clearly taking place at a private academy not funded by the government. From what I’ve been able to gather, there’s a language difference here between European and American
