Anime Fall 2024 Weekly Ranking December 20th To December 26th
These rankings are as of the episodes premiering December 20th to December 26th
S: Must Watch
Episodes I believe you must watch or are missing out on.
1. Bleach. Ep. 12
Great episode with some interesting looks into the back story of two qunicy. Seeing the revelation of Ywach’s second half, a quincy able to power up others is very interesting but Haschwalth himself is very strong. Unfortunately, this does mean Bazz-B is beaten. now we move forward onto the last episodes of this season, which has been great but I feel as if there is still a lot left to see. I hope the final cour will be able to show a lot, or at least these last two episodes will.
A: Very Good
Good episodes, anime I would recommend to someone looking for something to watch.
2. Demon Lord 2099. Ep. 11
Some very nice reveals such as Hijiki’s eyes being the orb and professor Mag being the traitor as well. As for the highlight of the episode, Veltol of course. I want to reach such levels of confidence, even in the presence of someone like Hijiki. Now, with Meldia returned, I wonder if Hero Gram will also return and which side he will be on. Meldia of course has history with Veltol and I don’t believe they will talk things out. Last episode next week, very sad to be losing this one.
4. Dragon Ball DAIMA. Ep. 11
Oh yea, some Vegeta action. I love Vegeta, and it seems for the longest it’s been impossible for him to get a victory so I hope he does here. I also like the two majins, Majin Duu specifically is going to be a problem if he decides to get serious. But the most important thing is the Vegeta, which is a dub for the community as a whole.
3. Ranma 1/2. Ep. 12. FINAL
The big reveal of Ranma’s condition for Shampoo and that ending broke my heart, her love greater than her hate she must accept and say farewell. With this being the last episode, I hope we see Shampoo eventually, which is likely giving she’s staying not too far away. Also, it seems pure annoyance is more powerful than any form of amnesia. Overall, this anime was great and one of my favorites of the season, I’m really enjoying these old school remakes and can’t wait for season 2 of this. If the quality continues as it is now, then it will be fantastic.
5. Shangri La Frontier. Ep. 11
Fantastic episode. Really like Sunraku’s little moment where he realizes he’s overthinking it and missing the point of a game, but also why he plays to begin with. I really liked that and the fight against Lycagon is going to be hype, if they are able to beat the nightslayer then it would be insane to see but I doubt it will be that easy.
B: Good/Solid
6. Yakuza Fiancé: Raise wa Tanin ga Ii. Ep. 12. FINAL
A very slow and calm finish with some major lore drops towards the end which hints at the desire for a season 2 but we don’t have a confirmation yet as of writing this. I really enjoyed Yoshino in this anime while Kirishima never failed to creep me out, but that is his character. I believe he has some issues to work through, and Yoshino may be the only one capable of dealing with him even if I don’t ship them. Also, she looked amazing that dress. Over all, 7/10, would watch a season 2.
7. Blue Lock. Ep. 12
Oh man, I have to say it again, this anime is just pure hype. When Barou came in and scored that goal I was jumping out of my seat, but also Nagi having some moments where I was on the edge waiting for him to finally score. Next two episodes will be the last, I’m not sure if my heart can take it but I look forward to it.
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.
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!
