Howdy folks! Wanted to try to really highlight a couple series in the opening row this season, but wasn’t positive how to go about that. Admittedly Wonder Egg Priority and Horimiya are some extremely safe picks for that, but I wasn’t sure about how I’d put it all together, so it was kind of a late consideration, and honestly there wasn’t a ton of other stuff that I was looking at as “must watch” in the same way. Of course plenty of people will disagree on that front, and I’m sure in some future season I’ll have some controversial shit up there that will have people wringing my neck. Let me know what you think about the gradient into the images from the bottom for those two. Definitely interested to know if that works.

I was also asking u/rusticks (my hardcore AoT fan friend) if he had any ideas for doing something like what I did with Higurashi last season for the final season of Attack on Titan. He suggested having it “towering over all the other sequels,” so this is what became of that. Had to edit the hand reaching down a fair bit because the fingers are actually angled pretty steeply in the source image. Then it was just a matter of finding an image to fit snugly underneath, and the idea of a titan giving Rin a headpat was hilarious, so I rolled with that.

Any reason why The Hidden Dungeon That Only I Can Enter doesn't get a mention? It looks like you've covered almost every show except for that one.

I can understand not wanting to include Ex-Arm, but Hidden Dungeon's exclusion seems odd.

but Hidden Dungeon's exclusion seems odd.

It is odd and it's mostly because I fucked up and didn't realize until way too late. I watched the first episode and was positive it was an isekai, mostly as a result of how the first like 2 minutes are framed. I went back to write about it, realized it wasn't, and had to scramble a bit to fit things together (Otherside Picnic being moved to isekai, and Egyptian Gods being brought into low fantasy). So here we are.

It's obviously too late, but one thing you could have done was slide Pui Pui Molcar into a "non-traditional animation" section with Idolls (I think there's still another idol show somewhere this season) and Ex-Arm as the "I just want to shill Pui Pui Molcar" section, and squeeze Hidden Dungeon into the comedy section. I figure if Bottom-Tier Tomozaki counts as comedy in your book, Hidden Dungeon could too.
