Anime Summer 2024 Weekly Ranking November 1st to November 7th

These rankings are as of the episodes premiering November 1st to November 7th.

S: Must Watch

Episodes I believe you must watch or are missing out on.

1. Bleach. Ep. 5

Grimmjow and Aizen in one episode, Bleach fans are eating like never before. A great yet calm episode overall, of course Aizen steals the show as usual. If has gotten stronger than I hope he never finds freedom, though Ichigo is much stronger now as well. The soul society won’t lie down without fighting to the bitter end either, man, this show is so much fun to watch.

3. Re:ZERO. Ep. 5

Good to see Subaru in high spirits despite a brutal defeat, but man that leg looks awful. Is that permanent, do we want it to be? Whatever the case we have some regrouping going on as well as Emelia doing what she can to help from afar. She’s much better magic than I believed, first showing her combat skills and now her ability to create with magic. Impressive, though I wonder why she doesn’t escape, perhaps it’s too dangerous for her to do so. More fights are sure to come, I believe eventually Subaru will have to reset.

2. DAN DA DAN. Ep. 6

Is it me or are Okarun’s family jewels tennis ball size. Whatever the size, I find it funny how it was Aria of all people to find it on the streets. Given the sight, it also awakened a whole new personality within her. Shoutout to her friends who not only are going along with her new antics, but also willing to kidnap someone with her, those are good friends. The fight with the lady in red should ramp up next episode, but I’m more worried about Ayase and the murder case she has coming, she killed those two girls without a doubt.

A: Very Good

Good episodes, anime I would recommend to someone looking for something to watch.

4. Demon Lord 2099. Ep. 4

If Machina is hurt I riot! I cannot exaggerate how much I admire Veltol, being unrecognized he only thinks he needs to work harder instead of being bothered by it. The immortal furnace project is horrifying and Veltol won’t let it go without intervening. We do see some anger from him when he hears that an old friend was sacrificed to the project, and I believe he will become even more enraged should Machina be hurt. But! Please be safe Machina. s

6. Blue Box. Ep. 7

Little hard to find this episode but we have at last. Taiki taking a set is great, his improvement is showing and I’m sure he’ll be admirable at the tournament. Now, Hina or Chinatsu? I know Chinatsu is main girl, but I’ve always been a fan of girls who are more obvious and put in effort for getting who they want. But, Chinatsu is such a sweetheart, I can’t decide. I guess we’ll have more time for romance to develop somewhere, though I like that Taiki is considering Chinatsu’s situation before himself.

5. Ranma 1/2. Ep. 5

Akane embracing her new style is nice, despite how much it hurt her I’m glad she is able to move forward considering the reason behind her long hair wasn’t something she did for herself but in hopes of gaining the love of someone else. Ryoga’s a pig. I was hoping we would get more transformation’s and I am not disappointed, give me even more. I want birds, I want dogs, I’ll even take motor vehicles.

7. Dragon Ball DAIMA. Ep. 4

ooh, new character but Goku steals the show with the fight in this one. Seeing him fight with his staff was great as the animation is stellar. We also got some interesting bugs, one that can make people fuse. Chibi fusions anyone? Or, just maybe, we’re getting all news ones. I’m all for it, give Goku and Hercule; that’s right, the almighty Gokule… Heku? Whatever just give us fusions!

B: Good/Solid

8. If My Wife Became an Elementary School Student. Ep. 6

Best episode yet, the conflict between where Marika belongs and the reveal that she is a reincarnation was superbly done. Of course, Shiraishi has been a terrible parent but that doesn’t mean she can’t change and become a better parent after realizing her own mistakes. I will say, Keisuke was my favorite character this episode. Only showing care for Marika/Takae, but never overstepping or forcing what he believes on her. What an admirable guy and he made the right choice with having them decide but also warning that he will step in should he need to. I wish the best for all families, they both deserve it. 10/10 episode.

9. Yakuza Fiancé: Raise wa Tanin ga Ii. Ep. 5

All hail the hime cut, truly one of the best of all time. I have to agree that Tsubaki and Kirishima would make for a good couple, both crazy and scheming, Yoshino is tame by comparison. Turns out she still has her kidney as well which is nice, at least we know Tsubaki cares for her. Still, I do hope the two who don’t end up killing each other.

10. 2.5 Dimensional Seduction. Ep. 18

I too am a comrade! Man, some of the stuff concerning creators such as the pressure they go through and the risk of failure hits close to home. In a perfect world everyone could have successful work but working in the industry must still be a lot of fun. Also glad Aria’s dad is alive and I hope he shows at Comiket. In conclusion, Mikari best girl.

12. Blue Lock. Ep. 5

Why do all the U20 defenders look like middle aged adults? Also why is Shidou in a straight coat?! Seeing him in that was hilarious but now that he is on the opposite side I believe he will be a incredible threat to our side. The teams have been decided as well so I look forward to the match which has been very hyped by the community.

11.

Negative Positive Angler. Ep. 6

Ice Albedo cosplay = Ice best girl, no debate. A lovely look into another character who just so happens to best girl this episode, but the most important bit does revolve around Tsunehiro, his battle with loneliness, and his lifespan. I believe the reveal will come soon, I only hope the others won’t hold it against him for keeping such a secret.

C: It’s ok/Fine

These are shows I happen to pick up but struggle to finish. Still watchable, but not without a good break in between episodes.

13. Loner Life in Another World. Ep. 7

And they all lived happily ever after, or Haruka tried at least. Decent final fight, looking forward to the class pres betrayal arc, or the jocks taking over arc, or the gyura retrieval arc that ends with them marrying the nerds. I don’t know, the battle was ok but very uninteresting for some reason, I just could not get behind it as the stakes weren’t built well enough.

D: Do Not Recommend

Shows I do not recommend you not watch for various issues.

F: Bad

Anime with glaring issues that make them not only difficult to watch, but the watcher angry at times.

Some words

More to come soon!
