New year, new anime season, new general discussion thread. It is a time for new beginnings. A time to look forward to the infinite possibilities that the coming year can hold for us. A time to look forward to all the great and not-so-great anime that the winter 2024 season holds for us.

I want to hear what it is that you are looking forward to, trailers you liked, anime that you want to hype up because you loved the manga/novel. Equally, I want to hear what shows you think should be avoided or that look mid af. Check the list here for a complete list of the winter 2024 shows coming our way.

As always, remember to be mindful of spoilers. If you want to know more about how to handle spoilers in this community, check the guide here.

    I'm finding the time to watch a lot more shows this season, and so far I'm finding enjoyment in the first episodes of some unexpected titles:

    • Mahou Shoujo ni Akogarete • Gushing over Magical Girls - Villain POV with S&M lewdness
    • Sokushi Cheat - Kill all the evil classmates in an isekai. Kind of a similar vibe to The Executioner And Her Way Of Life
    • Nozomanu Fushi no Boukensha • The Unwanted Undead Adventurer - An adventurer unexpectedly joins the monster track of advancement and starts from being a weak skeleton
    • Chiyu Mahou no Machigatta Tsukaikata: Senjou wo Kakeru Kaifuku Youin • The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic - An average student gets sucked into an isekai. All likeable characters so far.

    Sousou No Freiren continues to be a strong show.

    Solo Leveling - I've enjoyed the manhwa, and this first episode is okay, it could have been longer to get to the key plot mechanic.

    Conversely, I was disappointed by the first episode of the highly anticipated Dungeon Meshi/Delicious In Dungeon, which is fine. Some shows take a few episodes for the writing to gain traction.

      I was also a bit disappointed with the first episode of Dungeon Meshi. I wrote in more detail over here, but it felt like it wanted to be two shows at the same time (dark with dead sister, light with silly cooking) and it didn't mesh well. I have only heard great things about the manga, so I expect it to become clearer in tone as it goes, but I am with you just based on episode 1.
