What makes this season really interesting is that it's not so much the big tent pole shows, like this season just ending, but a lot of interesting concepts.

Thanks to @NineSwords@ani.social for running the discord!
I see you also noticed Butt Detective (2026).
To be clear, I know nothing about this show beyond the name. But what a name!
Is it ecchi? Is it dogs solving crimes by sniffing? I must find out!
It's a kids show where the main character is a detective whose face looks like a butt. There are already 9 seasons and some movies

TIL.
I'd say Witch Hat Atelier, Daemons of the Shadow Realm, Re:Zero, and Akane-banashi are all pretty big tent pole shows though!
Oh yeah, Awajima should be cute. Remind me afterwards please~ >⩊<
Now time to watch the winter anime :3
The Angel next Door Spoils me rotten 2, finally, peak returned!
April 6: WITCH HAT ATELIER
That's all
That time I got reincarnated as slime, Wistoria, Re:zero, Iruma kun, are on my list. 'The classsroom of elite' , I'm glad it's here but I had to use some filter to improve viewing experience. And we also have of course the peak anime 'Next-door Angel spoils me', lol and most surprisingly 'The strong job appraiser' had a good laugh out of it.
Ace of the Diamond and Dorohedoro ftw for me
Ascendance of a Bookworm!!!
Y'all sleeping on this. It's seriously the best isekai
The books were amazing
I want an after story bad

Wish JJBA could be on there. wtf was Netflix thinking?!
Excited for Mahou no Shimai Lulutto Lilly. The first anime-original Pierrot magical girl show since the 90s. It'll also be a new entry in the mostly dead-ended evolutionary branch of magical girl shows that aren't about fighting bad guys, but about being magical idols. In fact, this show looks SO similar to Mahou no Tenshi Creamy Mami that I'd almost call it a remake, based on the trailer. They even have the same familiars: a blue cat with pink eyes + a pink cat with blue eyes.
