The Fall season and the entire year of 2025 is drawing to a close. Most shows have drawn to a close or are about to. So, let’s talk about it! Did anything surprise you? disappoint you? exceed your expectations? Of course, more general topics are still welcome just like any week.

Copied from my notes I watched these shows in order this year:
In short: finished up zetsubou sensei, finished up ichigomashimaro, new game, nhk ni youkoso, aria, yurumeitsu, slow start, oomuroke dear friends, tanaka kun chibi version, tamako market/love story, bottle faries, city, ika musume, the new gintama.
I watched two current shows this year which is a lot for me. I really liked CITY of course. The highlight of the year has to be the whole series ARIA. It’s a top 5 anime for me. It does the really special thing where I end up crying without being sad. Suteki!
In terms of this season I watched the Gintama spinoff. It was definitely worth watching. However, I was watching Ika Musume in between and I did notice that I was more excited on days where I watched Ika-chan. I guess I’m a truly lost cause when it comes to moe.
