Whoa, that's an impressive number, getchman! I'm only dealing with 25 titles and I've already fallen behind schedule. Mind you, that's only because I was out of town for a week a little while back. I hope to be caught up by the end of this weekend, but we'll see. Basketball season has started again and that cuts into my anime viewing time.

oh, also:

Tenchi Muyo! GXP Paradise Starting (OVA)

Which just finished... and has huge hurdles to overcome to completely understand...
Full of characters not in the previous GXP anime, a sequel to novels that haven't been finished and a prequel to other novels that the makers obviously want to adapt but might not have a company willing to commit to.
...but there are now fan translations to almost everything now- if you want to figure it out. And a helpful wiki (that I help write)

I'm currently in the high-20s for titles that I am trying to follow, but that's not sustainable for me during the school year. A couple are already starting to fall by the wayside and I expect a few more to go eventually, so I will probably settle around 20. Certain keepers include the following:

The Apothecary Diaries
The Faraway Paladin
Spy x Family
Butareba (a better series so far than it's being given credit for)
Spy x Family
The Rising of the Shield Hero
Goblin Slayer II
Frieren: Beyond Journey's End
Kingdom of Ruin
The Ancient Magus' Bride
S-Ranked Adventurer
The Eminence in Shadow
The Saint's Magical Power is Omnipotent
Dead Mount Death Play
Shy
The Demon Sword Master of Excalibur Academy
Shangri-La Frontier
Berserk of Gluttony

Maybes (I'm interested but only if I have the time) include the following:

I'm in Love With The Villainess
Kimizero (aka Our Dating Story)
Tearmoon Empire
Ragna Crimson
PreCure Full Bloom
A Returner's Magic Should be Special
Undead Unluck
I'm Giving The Disgraced Noble Lady. . .
Helck

Likely to be dropped soon:
The Vexations of the Shut-In Vampire Princess
16-bit (interesting concept, but something about it just isn't working for me)
The 100 Girlfriends. . .

So... what was dropped?

in my case, a good bit was dropped or not started as planned.

Monday completely fell off
- (The) Demon Sword Master of Excalibur Academy (not my type of horny- possibly oversaturated on this type of show)
- Ron Kamonohashi's Forbidden Deductions (Too many little things I didn't like)
- Stardust Telepath (just never really got started - MC seemed too stupid to breathe)
- Pluto (not dropped, just haven't given myself the time)
- Scott Pilgrim Takes Off (not dropped, just haven't given myself the time)
- Undead Unluck (not dropped, just haven't given myself the time, only thing on Hulu)
- (The) Vexations of a Shut-In Vampire Princess (premise couldn't keep me interested)



Somehow, kept watching:
- I'm Giving the Disgraced Noble Lady I Rescued a Crash Course in Naughtiness (The Elf author almost killed it)
- Protocol: Rain (so "mid"- the sociopath "antagonist" is sooo stupid, I guess I just wanted to watch some underdogs succeed at their sucky, sucky, game)
- (The) Family Circumstances of the Irregular Witch (70% boring, but occasionally really funny- that insomniac Sandman was gold)

According to an earlier post of mine, I started off Fall 2023 with a total of 25 titles: 22 new ones and 3 carrying over from the summer. In the end, I whittled that total down to 12 titles. In a way, it was really only 11 because one of the titles was After-School Hanako-kun which only had four episodes. Here was the final line-up:

Migi & Dali
Dead Mount Death Play 2
(The) Ancient Magus' Bride 3
Dr. Stone: New World 4
Jujutsu Kaisen 2
Under Ninja
Goblin Slayer II
Frieren: Beyond Journey's End
(The) Apothecary Diaries
Shangri-La Frontier
Dark Gathering
After-School Hanako-kun

Of those, I probably should have ditched Migi & Dali, Death Mount and Dark Gathering. I will watch all three to completion (they each only have 1 episode left) but I can't say I enjoyed them as much as the others on the list. Of those, Under Ninja, Frieren and The Apothecary Diaries were the absolute stand-outs, with Shangri-La Frontier not too far behind.

The sequels were pretty dependable although JJK 2 did try my patience at times. I nibbled at some Netflix offerings that came out in the Fall but since I haven't advanced very far in any of them, nor is it clear I will actually finish them, I'm leaving them off the list.

Here's a top-line preview of my Winter 2024 list: I've got 25 titles slated for a try out. How many will survive??? Stay tuned.

I watched these shows all the way through week after week, from most enjoyed to least enjoyed.

Goblin Slayer
SpyXFamily
Eminence in Shadow
A Returner's Magic Should be Special
My Daughter Left the Nest and Returned an S Rank
Rising of the Shield Hero 3
Berserk of Gluttony
MF Ghost
Tearmoon Empire


That makes 12 dependable regulars if you count Shangri-la Frontier, Frieren, And Apothecary Diaries, all of which were gold standard but aren't over yet.

I watched these series but not week to week. I started one of them late, for example, and only finished two of them today. That said, I liked some of them better than the shows I watched regularly, and some of them I barely managed to hang on and finish.

The Yuzuki Family

Jiujitsu Kaisen (unexpectedly, I enjoyed the part I thought I would like the least, best - the past arc - and found the present part uneven)

The Saint's Magic Power is Omnipotent

Migi and Dali

Overtake

Playthrough of a Middle Aged Dude's MMORPG yada yada

I'll probably finish Faraway Paladin in the next day or two.

Everything else I either dropped midway, or dropped before the first three episodes, or dropped before the end of the first episode, or never tried because it was a sequel to a show I'd already given up on or just didn't see a point.
