The Fall 2019 anime season is over and it was another skimpy one for me. I’m following so few anime series nowadays that I’m following more manga series. I should write about some of the manga that I’m following at some point…

Okay, so here are the anime series that I watched this past season, the ones that I dropped and the one anime movie that I watched during the Fall season:

Watched:

“Meitantei Conan” – I’m still watching it after all these years. The anime reached 964 episodes as if the end of the year. Current rating: A. It’s still fun and I’ll keep on going as long as it and I last…

“One Piece” – I’m still watching this too after 20 or so years. The anime reached 915 episodes as of the end of the year. Current rating: A. It’s also still fun and it might even end one of these years…

“Chihayafuru – 3” – Episodes watched – 12. Continuing into Winter 2020. I can’t explain why I like this silly Josei/Shoujo quasi-sports anime so much but it grabs me with every episode. Current rating: A.

“Enen no Shouboutai” aka “Fire Force”. Ended at 24 episodes. It’s coming back for another season in the summer. Rating: B+. This is an entertaining series that is almost very good, but at times it seems that the author is trying too hard to make this “Not Soul Eater”. I’ll watch the continuation.

“Gegege no Kitaro” – I’m still following after 86 episodes and it’s showing no signs of ending. This modern version of the old classic is reasonable fun and sometimes timely. Current rating: B.

“Dr. Stone” – Ended at 24 episodes. It’s also coming back for another season at some point this year. It was okay when it focussed on science and engineering, but not so much when it did Shounen Action. Since most of the next series will be Shounen Action I probably won’t follow it. Final rating: B

“Mairimashita! Iruma-kun” – Episodes watched – 13. This is a silly and predictable shounen comic fantasy but for some reason I’m enjoying it. Current rating: B-.

“Ore o Suki nano wa Omae dake kay o” – Completed at 12 episodes. This was the big disappointment for me this season. The show started out as a fun and cynical satire of romcoms but it gave up on that by the mid-point and just became a brainless and unfunny romcom itself. Final rating: C-

Dropped:

“Val x Love” – episodes watched – 1, Final rating: C
“Babylon” – episodes watched – 1, Final rating: C
“Special 7” – episodes watched – 3, Final rating: C
“Assassin’s Pride” – episodes watched – 1, Final rating: C
“No Guns Life” – episodes watched – 2, Final rating: C
“Kabukicho Sherlock” – episodes watched – 1, Final rating: C

Movie:

“Conan Movie 23 – The Fist of Blue Sapphire” – Rating: A. The Conan franchise is running out of buildings to destroy and people to murder in Japan so this movie moved to Singapore for its setting. Kaido Kid played a big part in the story so that made it more fun than usual.
