Anime Discussion [Winter 2025] Anime Seasonals - General Discussion

[Warchief Sanji D Goat]

Need more Danmachi.

Hoping for a S6 asap.

Now that we got a season outside the dungeon we should get a season inside the dungeon and expand on the lore more.

Man I dunno why but I'm got so bored of DanMachi dungeon arcs. I'm more invested on outside dungeon settings between different Familias and such which is why season 3 is my favorite season. And season 4 and 5 lacks Ais's screentime once again, sigh.

And it doesn't help that in the light novel, Ais was more expressive and was screaming on top of her lungs during the final battle in season 5, but the anime makes her looks like a emotionless doll which is a shame. But it's JC Staff we're talking about here.

If season 4 wasn't focused on Ryuu Lion's story I would have dropped DanMachi right there. But season 5 was great though, the final episode bumps Freya up to my favorite character in all of DanMachi. Ais, Hestia and Ryuu y'all cool and all but mommy Freya is the way.

nah you might find it too random

I see.

I on the other hand am really interested in the lore and the dungeon's secrets.

Sword Oratoria was very interesting for me when I watched it years ago. Though I think there was this one character that was fawning over Ais which was not a good point.

But outside the dungeon getting to know more about Zeus Familia and the Dragon would be cool. But then again that's also linked to the Dungeon I think.

Though I agree that we need more Ais. Swap Ryuu for Ais in an adventure with Bell in a dungeon exploration, it would be awesome.

I don't know about others but for me Ais is one of the least appealing characters of the show

Maybe because she comes off as a bit plain?

Or because she's basically being used in these later arcs as a plot device for Bell's growth, etc?

she is a typical ice queen with next to no personality or depth and there's no real reason given for it

True we don't have a reason but I would say we have an hint with how she hates monsters. I would guess "I saw people/my family getting killed by monsters when I was young" kind of stuff. Which would be pretty generic but oh well. She clearly lacks depth at this stage though.

Something akin to Finn's motives.

Ryu had more hints than Ais before S4

I didn't say anything though lol?

Sword Oratoria was great. But Ais's number 1 fangirl Lefiya is unbearable Lmao.

Yeah Bell and Ais should have team up more.

I think this might be more related to the split between Familia Myth and Sword Oratoria and how SO is not being adapted into anime than a lack of character develoment on Ais's part by the author. I can't say with certainty since I don't read the LNs but since SO is focused on Ais she would get most of her character development there while the supporting cast in Familia Myth would have more development in FM than Ais since she's the focus in SO.

Just my guess.

I don't expect OPM S3 to be as good as Season 1 obviously cuz it's impossible for JC Staff to put up the same animation as Madhouse in their prime

If we're being real, this wasn't even "prime" madhouse. This was something special we will likely never see again. Many animators worked in OPM season 1 for their love of the work. It was an all-star cast of top animators who didn't even work for Madhouse.

Witch Watch is gonna be good!

Opening by Yaosobi.

Witch Watch is giving me Urusei Yatsura vibe I don't know why lol.

Yea 2015 Madhouse was a menace to anime society.
