Topic: Anime & Manga (NO SPOILERS PLEASE)

The Spring 2026 season is upon us, and as such, there are some new seasons of anime that I'm really looking forward to! 🎉

Re:Zero Season 4
Ascendance of a Bookworm Season 4
Wistoria: Wand and Sword Season 2

These are two of the ones I'm watching when they air too. Re:Zero is my 2nd favorite anime of the past decade and I really loved Ascendance of a Bookworm when I gave it another shot last year and am thrilled to see the upgrade in quality its being given.

We'll be catching Liar Game and Witch Hat Atelier this season, both of which were phenomenal manga. I am hoping the former manga series finally gets an English release as the anime comes over. Haven't heard of any such plans yet, though.

For the record, of the 7 anime I'm watching this season, the one that re-unites the mangaka and anime studio of FMA is the 2nd worst of the 7 (Rooster Fighter is 7th which is dumb fun, but not much else). Legendary era of anime where that could even be possible, don't let anyone tell you otherwise. And there might be more airing right now that are better that I just happen to not be watching for all I know.

Another anime update:

Recently finished both seasons of an isekai anime called "I've Been Killing Slimes For 300 Years And Maxed Out My Level" in sub (I've been watching a lot more sub anime lately because I'm upset at Crunchyroll for adding in some very unnecessary words to English dubs lately and I hate it when official media is edited like that). I loved it. Not a masterpiece like Re:Zero or Rising of the Shield Hero (Yes, I love Shield Hero, even the later seasons, although I do agree the later seasons aren't as good as the first one but I still like them anyway), but still a good watch nonetheless. Apparently there are no English Blu-Rays of it 😢. Gonna have to figure something out in that regard 😏.

The next animes I have started are Digimon Beatbreak and Lucky Star (both in sub). I've heard some amazing things about Lucky Star and this is my first time watching it, and oh my gosh, this is another masterpiece anime I think. As for Digimon Beatbreak, I'm not that far in yet, but it's pretty solid and I will definitely watch more of it soon.

Also still watching One Piece, lol 😅.

Finished Captain Future. It is a great anime. I love his gentleman aura.

My next series will be Future Boy Conan. The trailer looked like a good adventure anime, reminding me a lot of Laputa, another great anime.

Finished Lucky Star a few days ago (a masterpiece to the very end), then started an anime that I've heard good things about, called Frieren: Beyond Journey's End. I'm watching it in sub. Definitely a slow burn, but at the same time, I'm definitely enjoying it.

Still watching Digimon Beatbreak and One Piece.
