Spring 2026 is SOMEWHAT STACKED

[00:02] of the season videos because they're meant to be recommendations for new viewers, and I always figured that fans of existing anime IP would already be aware when their favorite series are coming back. But as the anime fandom has

[00:17] grown and the number of sequels per seasons increased, that's become less and less true. Next to winter's 33 sequels and spin-offs, spring's 17 returning shows, six movies, and one put the prizes in the bag Deku TV special

[00:32] don't look that crazy, but it's still a lot to juggle. So, I figured y'all might once again appreciate a bit of help keeping track and deciding what isn't isn't worth your time, especially with how much crazy new anime I'm going to be

[00:46] putting on your lists with ones to watch in a week. Now, regardless of what anime you're watching, odds are pretty good that where you'll be watching it is Crunchyroll. And by an astounding coincidence, they've sponsored today's

[00:59] video to have me remind you that it is once again time to vote for the annual Crunchyroll Anime Awards. But it's not just any anime for these awards. This year marks their 10th anniversary, a decade of honors dealt out to nearly 290

[01:14] unique nominees from over 110 studios. You may already be part of that history, but from now until National Anime Day, April 15th, you have a chance to make history again. All you got to do is click that link in the doobly-doo to

[01:28] fill out your ballot, then do it again every day cuz you can vote every day. But what are you voting for? Categories include film of the year, best original anime, best comedy, best drama, best isekai, best slice of life, best song,

[01:42] those are two different things. Best animation, best backgrounds, best character design, character who must be protected at all costs, and of course, anime of the year. Many deserving anime are up for each award, but only one can

[01:56] win, and to make sure it's your one, you've got to vote early and often at that link in the doobly-doo. And of course, be sure to tune in to the Anime Awards ceremony May 23rd on Crunchyroll's YouTube and Twitch

[02:08] accounts to find out who won. In the spirit of awards and breaking anime down into piles though, most of spring sequels fall neatly into one of three order, we'll be breaking the list down by those this time around, starting with

[02:23] isekai because that's the biggest pile. And as far as their prior seasons go, the biggest pile out of those was easily The Beginning After the End, the first Western web novel to ever get an anime adaptation, which sparked some serious

[02:40] backlash thanks to its rough, obviously rushed animation when you could even call it that, and still less than great storyboarding. I do think that was mostly a result of just how high fan expectations were though. It's not the

[02:56] prettiest isekai thing I've ever watched, but it's far from the ugliest watched, but it's far from the ugliest or the worst.

[03:10] moot point in season 2, which is still not the prettiest isekai thing in the world, but at least it's animated this time. As for whether or not that'll mean it'll be worth slogging through season 1 to catch up. I mean, in my experience,

[03:24] to catch up. I mean, in my experience, it is a slog and not just in the anime. I fell off the audiobook, too. On paper, the series does have a pretty unique concept for an isekai with its hero being reincarnated from essentially a

[03:37] shonen battle world and applying his knowledge from that power system to magic. But in practice, it's just Mushoku Tensei at home, at least early on. Miles from Quest for the Best tells me it does get a a better, but

[03:50] personally, I don't think I'm ever going to find out considering all the stuff I like more that I also need to catch up on. Stuff like That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime, which is dropping its fourth season this spring

[04:06] mentioned in the last round up. The first monster isekai to get itself an anime and still one of the best, though not necessarily for its action-adventure

[04:18] content. There are some good fights in the series, don't get me wrong, and it handles large-scale war better than most, but the real appeal lies in its civilization-building aspects and massively charming cast of characters.

[04:31] If politics and statecraft are your bag, then baby, the funny slime anime might just surprise you with just how deep that side of it gets. Not the deepest out of any anime out there, but more than enough to scratch the itch. So,

[04:45] even if you're the sort who thinks isekai is just dumb wish-fulfillment, which is probably the only sort who hasn't given Slime a shot yet because it is very popular, you might get more out of it than you think. It's not the only

[04:59] inhuman reincarnation tale on spring's docket, though, and if there was ever any doubt that the market is hungry for more monster reincarnation stories, the fact that the [\h__\h] vending machine one has been successful enough to get

[05:14] three seasons should put them all to rest. Not to say that's the only thing Reborn as a Vending Machine, Now I Wander the Dungeon has going for it, but I really can't overstate how satisfying the core progression loop is. Every

[05:30] single conventional human character build you can think of has been done to death in litRPG style anime, but every time Boxxo spends some currency on a new function or inventory expansion, we are seeing something genuinely new and

[05:46] creative for the genre. And that's the norm in almost every monster reincarnation story, even the one about the elf who wants to [\h__\h] her cat. Not Re:Monster. That show sucks [\h__\h] but luckily there is a new Goblin Isekai

[06:01] coming this winter to replace it. And that one aside, you really can't go wrong with a show like this. Dragon, slime, ant, they're all great. And I dearly hope that we get to see more series like this, maybe even some

[06:15] western web novels adapted into anime in the future. For the colony! For the We've also got another city-builder type isekai hitting its second season this

[06:27] season in Farming Life in Another World, which as the title suggests is a little closer in its minute-to-minute action to Harvest Moon or Stardew Valley than SimCity. But as protag's farm progresses, a whole village does

[06:41] eventually grow up around it, mostly administered by the many, many wives he picks up along the way. It would probably be more accurate to describe the show as a harem isekai with city-building elements, but uh as a

[06:56] harem connoisseur, saying that really just um [music] doesn't sit right with me. Statistically speaking, it does feature one of the largest harems in anime history with basically every one of the hundred-plus women living in the

[07:10] village being protag's wife and/or lover. But the problem is, his wives are lover. But the problem is, his wives are just that, statistics, not real waifus. The vast majority of them don't even have names, and even among the ones that

[07:25] do, there's some serious copy-pasting going on. By harem standards, it is sub-par at best, the definition of quantity over quality. But still, if you're an extremely indecisive Harvest Moon enjoyer who just wants to soak in

[07:40] some cozy farm life vibes, you might get more out of it than I did. Funny story, as a kid, I myself became a Harvest Moon enjoyer specifically because it was the closest thing you could get to a dating sim in the North American market at the

[07:55] time, and I was very lonely. Luckily, though, nowadays, I'm a lot less lonely, and dating sims for all tastes are a dime a dozen. Not to mention isekai about people getting trapped in their favorite ones. The Most Heretical Last

[08:10] Boss Queen from Villainess to Savior certainly isn't my favorite of those. I much prefer these sorts of things on the goofier and/or punchier end of the anime spectrum, so the prospect of Bakarina without the comedy just never really hit

[08:26] for me. A few moments in the first season did hit harder than I expected them to, thanks to the empathy and intelligence of the heroine, but clearly not hard enough for me to actually keep going with it. I just could never get

[08:40] past how contrived it felt for her to be racked with guilt over all of these things that she has not done and would never do except in a parallel universe where she was a totally different, much worse person. That's just not the most

[08:55] compelling dramatic hook to me. However, I did just learn on the most recent Anime News Network Trailer Watch Party stream that by dropping out as early as I did, I ended up missing out on a whole mess of feet worship that would have

[09:09] made it a shoe-in for the premium menu at Shay Garbage. at Shay Garbage. >> [music]

[09:22] >> So, let that be a lesson to you. Never stop watching anything for any reason. If it sounds like I'm being overly harsh on those last two anime, I probably am, but only because there is a much more compelling civilization-building isekai

[09:37] with an infinitely more interesting lead getting a sequel this spring as well. Ascendance of a Bookworm, which is back for its fourth season. Adopted Daughter of an Archduke under the new management,

[09:51] so to speak, trading up from the workmanlike production values of Azia Do to the more premium look of a Wit Studio series while trading, series while trading, let's be optimistic and call it sideways

[10:04] from the direction of industry legend Mitsuru Hongo, the man who made Crayon Shin-chan an immortal fixture of Japanese television, to Yoshiaki Iwasaki, the man who made Love Hina somewhat more watchable than it is

[10:20] readable. I'm being a dick here. He's got a long list of impressive credits under his own belt, including Familiar of Zero, the show/light novel most responsible for the current state of isekai anime, which makes it oddly

[10:34] poetic that he'd take over one of the isekai most diametrically opposed to those trends. He's just not, you know, the director of Outlaw Star. Update, never mind. They used AI for background art. Definitely a downgrade. If you've

[10:50] never seen Bookworm or any of my videos on it, it's about this hardcore Bookworm girl who dies one day and gets reincarnated as a peasant in a medieval fantasy world with a literacy rate in the single digits. For a girl who needs

[11:05] nothing more than a good book to be happy, it's the ultimate nightmare scenario. But Mine is no quitter, and she uses every ounce of knowledge she gleaned from all her reading back on Earth to start pulling together the

[11:19] tools she needs to make her own damn books, from paper mills to a printing press, which, as it turns out, are pretty big societal changes to introduce to a medieval world with a literacy rate in the single digits, and so a lot of

[11:36] stuff kind of cascades from there. It's a very slow burn to get there, but once it does, rest assured Bookworm offers a power fantasy every bit as potent [music] as any other isekai, and quite a bit more satisfying for all the struggle

[11:52] it takes to achieve. Same goes for my personal favorite isekai of all time, Re:Zero, which hey, you guessed it, is also back for its fourth season. One also back for its fourth season. One that I have on good authority will adapt

[12:06] one of the best and most brutal arcs of the entire light novel with the same gorgeous cinematic flair that White Fox almost always delivers. almost always delivers. >> [screaming]

[12:39] finally reclaim the most important thing he lost in the course of season 1 by conquering a trial that not even the mightiest of his allies could handle. Sorry if that's overly vague, but I really don't want to spoil anything for

[12:54] anyone who hasn't already been sucked down the most compelling and horrifying isekai rabbit hole there is. You probably already know the premise, nerd ends up in another world with the cheat power to reload at checkpoints, and

[13:09] slowly, painfully discovers why that is so much worse than either immortality or time travel. But if you haven't actually given it a shot yet, or you did and bounced off the earlier parts where Subaru is high-key kind of horrible, I

[13:24] promise you don't know the half of what you're missing. I have spilled tens of thousands of words of glaze on Re:Zero, and I'll spend tens of thousands more before the anime is over because it's just that good. You know what else is

[13:41] almost that good, and I probably should do another apology video about it cuz I fell behind on it like a fool? Welcome to the Demon School Irumakun, season 4 is the season we're getting now. Now, is being dragged off to hell because your

[13:57] horrible parents sold you off to a surprisingly lovely demon grandpa the same thing as being isekai'd? I don't know, but luckily, that's not the question we have to answer today because this anime fits neatly at the

[14:10] intersection between the isekai pile and the shonen zone, and it's one of the best anime that you will find in that zone. A rock-solid slice-of-life comedy full to bursting with memorable over-the-top characters and an endless

[14:24] amount of heart. Irumakun is fun for the whole family in the truest sense of the term, yet possessed of the surprising depth and maturity just underneath that playful surface. If you're tired of the standard shonen battle setup for stories

[14:39] set in magic high schools, I cannot recommend getting into this one highly enough. If you're not tired of shonen battle type magic schools though, if in fact, you will never tire of that sort of thing, then I can't recommend with

[14:54] Stori Wand and Sword highly enough, either. made of paper. One fight right after the other.

[15:17] of Is It Wrong to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon, the series centers around the one student at a magic school who can't actually do magic, but nevertheless he does swords good enough to get by. Actually, that's an understatement. Will

[15:31] does swords amazing with last season featuring some of the most consistently gorgeous kinetic action sakuga ever put to television. And one look at the trailer confirms this new one offers more of the same. Story-wise, it's not

[15:48] the most original under dog battle shonen out there. You could easily sum up much of its plot as Mashle but unironically, and even when it comes to the animated action, director Tatsuya Yoshihara is clearly drawing on and

[16:02] condensing what he learned from working on Black Clover. But anyone who's seen DanMachi can tell you Fujino Omori has a way of taking tried and true fantasy tropes and making them his own. And with only 12 episodes to catch up on, this is

[16:17] easily the easiest recommendation for new comers in this video aside from one in the ONA section. Ace of the Diamond Act Two Season Two, on the other hand, is so hard for me to recommend I haven't even watched it yet. With 126 episodes

[16:33] in the first act alone and 52 more before you can start this season, you could catch up on any three of the other shows I've already talked about in the same amount of time. But if a grounded portrayal of high school baseball is

[16:47] what you're after, none of the rest of those is going to give it to you. And you know, there is probably a good reason they're still making this one. That's what we call a logical inference, which forms the basis of one of my

[17:00] favorite shonen power systems of all time, science from Dr. Stone, which is officially becoming the third big-ticket shonen thing to reach its finale in as

[17:12] many seasons with science future part three. Senku and Co.'s long journey to restore human civilization from Stone Age post-apocalypse to modern age of miracles has been exciting as it is educational from the very beginning. So

[17:28] educational. And while the ending isn't quite the best part, that would be last season's Suika focused episodes, as a manga reader, I can tell you it's a damn good finale to a damn good story. And this looks like a damn good adaptation

[17:44] of it. Not the best jump anime out there, but over the line where I think someone who's read the manga can get something out of watching it. On that note though, if One Piece season 2 can keep up the stylistic refinements seen

[17:59] in the Wan'o and Egghead bits of season 1, I have no doubt that it will continue to be a wonderful supplement to the manga. And with Wit Studio's new adaptation nipping at their heels, maybe Toei will only end up including the

[18:13] necessary amount of stretching this go round. They do have quite a bit of runway with the El Bath arc nearly over now. So, the only factor really stopping them from tightening the pacing back to pre-Alabasta levels is whether or not

[18:27] they're willing to delay again and do the final arc as season 3. Of course, even the seasonal shonen approach doesn't guarantee quality. Mission Yozakura Family has consistently been one of the most fun manga in the Jump

[18:42] magazine. A brilliant story about love and family, found and natural, wrapped up in a zany action spy thriller comedy. But as far as anime goes, I mean, it

[18:55] could be worse. It's certainly not a disaster. I'd say it's about on par with the Sakamoto Days anime, which I also would never recommend over its manga. But I do understand that a lot of people out there simply don't want to read

[19:11] unless it's subtitles, and not even then if they can help it. And for them, the Yozakura Family anime is a perfectly serviceable way of experiencing a great love story that they might otherwise miss. If I'm being honest, this series'

[19:25] actions never been on Sakamoto's level, so it's not nearly as much of a downgrade in that sense. And in my opinion, its comedy chops are a little bit stronger, especially the romantic aspects, which develop at a satisfying

[19:39] clip and give both of our teenage newlyweds a great deal of compelling dramatic depth. Though, as big as their personalities are, their families are even bigger with each one bringing a unique set of magic spy skills and a

[19:55] uniquely entertaining brand of mental illness to the table. If you're looking for a love story that can get your heart racing in more ways than one, look no further than Yozakura Family. It'll certainly serve you better than anything

[20:09] in the actual rom-com corner, which is the last and also least segment of the TV anime part of this video, containing exactly two sequels to series I never really got into. [music] Though, of the two, I can at least see why someone else

[20:24] might love The Angel Next Door Spoils Me Rotten pretty much for the same reason kids love Cinnamon Toast Crunch. It's sweet as [\h__\h] and they don't know better. Before I got some dating experience under my belt, if you'd asked

[20:37] me what my perfect wife would have looked like, I probably would have described someone in the same ballpark as Mahiru. But now that I've been lucky enough to live with someone who makes me laugh every day and sees the world in

[20:50] her own beautiful way, I know if I was stuck with some moe blob who wanted nothing more out of life than to be my second mom, I would be bored to [\h__\h] tears. And I was when I tried to watch this show. As far as I got, there was

[21:06] hardly any comedy and zero conflict to be found beyond the two of them just being kind of embarrassed to admit their very obvious feelings. And I'm pretty sure that's exactly the appeal for its target demo. Wrap them up in a warm

[21:20] fluffy hug of an anime without the slightest threat that anything might ever make them feel bad or ruin their perfect waifu's image. If Marin Dress Up Darling is too flawed for you and Horimiya too dramatic, here you go.

[21:35] Here's your show. Me, I couldn't be less interested. Though I can at least give it credit for actually getting the couple together by the end of the first season, meaning that this one can at least traverse the underexplored in

[21:49] anime territory of figuring out how to relationship. That's a whole lot more than I can say for Rent-A-Girlfriend season 5. Now, I shot my shot a little early talking about last season in my summer sequel round-up, a problem I'm

[22:04] sure Kazuya can relate to. But now, finally, in a mere matter of weeks, the finally, in a mere matter of weeks, the pool boner will be animated. And that's going to be followed by a whole bunch of the worst people you've

[22:18] ever met going absolutely nowhere and learning absolutely nothing for 12 episodes straight [music] again. Also, Mommy Nanami's going to be there being the world's most justified hater. At many points, it is going to seem like it

[22:32] is going somewhere, like it would be physically impossible to walk back the romantic progress they just made. But trust me on this, Reiji Miyajima can and

[22:44] does find a way. If you're still on this treadmill to hell, nothing I say is going to make you get off at this point, but just remember, until Kazuya gets a haircut to look exactly like the author, nothing will ever be allowed to happen

[22:58] between him and the author's imaginary wife. No matter how much it seems like wife. No matter how much it seems like it will, the anime is lying to you. Speaking of barely thought out deceptive [\h__\h] though, the final TV anime of

[23:11] the season and the only one that doesn't really fit into any bucket is Classroom of the Elite season 4. I mean, it kind of has a harem thing going what with how many of the girls that protag kun sociopathically manipulates end up

[23:25] wanting to bone him, but the tone of it is as far from romance as you can get. And if I'm being honest, after watching what I did for my roast, I want to stay as far away from this anime as I can get. If you're not familiar, let's just

[23:41] say Classroom of the Elite is to Baka and Test [music] as Heretical Last Boss Queen is to Bakarina. Minus [music] the feet stuff, but plus a whole lot of boob stuff that by an astounding coincidence is the best animated part of the entire

[23:55] show. It's also at least five times as edgy and 10 times as pretentious. And edgy and 10 times as pretentious. And hey, if you or a 14-year-old boy in your life is into that stuff, I'm the last Death Note fan to judge, but you can

[24:09] unironically find more complex mind games in a filler episode of Kaguya-sama than the entire first two seasons of this thing combined. So, as an adult who's seen Kaiji, it doesn't really do [\h__\h] for me. Frankly, as an adult who's

[24:24] seen Yu-Gi-Oh! GX, it doesn't do [\h__\h] And if it's not already doing [\h__\h] for you, there's a lot of other [\h__\h] you could be doing instead. Like watching JoJo's Bizarre Adventure or Beastars, both of which have better mind games too

[24:39] both of which have better mind games too and just dropped new seasons on Netflix. But even if you're specifically looking to dive into a darkened edgy trash pit for your next original net animation binge, I'm pleased as punch to tell you

[24:53] that Dorohedoro is finally back, baby. and not just on Netflix. This season, you can watch it on Crunchyroll, too. If you don't already know what Dorohedoro is, change that literally today. This buckwild,

[25:09] grungy as all get out, dark urban fantasy anime is unlike anything else in the entire medium. A show that would have felt right at home alongside Cowboy Bebop and Outlaw Star in the golden age of Adult Swim if it wasn't a premier

[25:25] of Adult Swim if it wasn't a premier example of what modern 3D CG anime can be with strong direction and the right art style. If you enjoyed the punk attitude and the aesthetics of Gachiakuta or the horrifically insane

[25:38] world-building of Chainsaw Man, you are going to love this show. It's set in the universe where powerful wizards are able to bend the very rules of reality to their will, and everyone else kind of just has to live with that down in the

[25:54] hole. A cosmic dumping ground for the magically inept where life is basically hell. Our hero, Caiman, is currently living with an infinitely regenerating lizard head for reasons he can't quite recall. The memories are back in his old

[26:09] brain, it seems. But regardless, he is pretty sure a wizard did it and very pissed off about that. And if you want to know more, I highly recommend you get to watching it so you can be ready for season 2. But if all of that, especially

[26:23] Netflix, is too gritty and violent for you, you can also check out Little Shark's Outings right here on YouTube. A series of cute little 1-minute kids shorts about a cute little shark kid going on short little cute adventures

[26:37] all over Japan. You might recall I spotlighted the movie on the first one of these sequel roundup videos, but now the second season is officially here on the Odekake Komasame anime channel. It's not subtitled, but it's also not too

[26:53] hard to understand and might even make for some good Japanese listening heck, if you got a baby, it's a good thing to put on in front of them that won't completely rot their brains like Cocomelon does. Speaking of movies

[27:07] coming to Japan this season as well as there are every season and some of them America, so you should be aware. At the very least, I hope Sound! Euphonium the

[27:19] final movie is one of them because even though to my understanding, it's just third season with maybe a little bit of new animation. Any day you get to see Kyoto Animation animation on the big screen is a good one. Mononoke movie

[27:35] three on the other hand almost certainly won't make it to Western theaters seeing as Netflix already owns the streaming rights, which is a shame because I mean, holy [\h__\h] just look at this thing. It would be amazing on the big screen. The

[27:49] original series was already one of the most ambitiously experimental works of animation ever put to television and the movies have naturally taken it to a whole new level. But I am at least glad that I'll be able to watch them in

[28:02] English. If you don't know what Mononoke is, I covered it in my short and sweet horror anime video a couple Halloweens back, but basically it's about this medicine peddler guy traveling around Japan and getting involved in all sorts

[28:16] of spooky shenanigans, which I can assure you are actually quite spooky despite how bright and colorful the series itself looks. It's off-kilter direction and especially sound design will keep you thoroughly unnerved

[28:30] through every episode and movie and the fact that there are movies, let alone three of them, honestly feels like kind of a miracle in current year. Seeing original anime spawn their own franchises like this is all too rare

[28:46] these days. Now, The Irregular at Magic High School, that's the sort of high octane naroslop you expect to see get a movie or five. The Yotsuba Arc movie, in a stunning twist, is going to cover the Yotsuba arc of the light novels, which

[29:01] is about some [\h__\h] I don't really know. I stopped caring about this series halfway through season 1. It's not even the best guy who sucks at magic at a magic school anime getting an installment this spring or the best

[29:14] anime where a sister wants to [\h__\h] her brother for that matter. Ah, the sentences I get to say in this business. On the other hand though, it's not the worst light novel thing about a super genius edge lord guy at a fancy sci-fi

[29:27] school dropping this spring. So, yeah, I'm still not watching it. Given the opportunity though, I absolutely will be seated for Patlabor the Mobile Police Easy, the realest of real robot franchises first new installment in over

[29:44] two decades, which follows a new generation of mecha cops trying their best to navigate a new era of population decline and AI automation nearly four decades after the events of the original show. A bold direction to take a series

[30:00] so beloved specifically for the chemistry of its original cast to be sure, but hopefully the right one for keeping the series sci-fi aspects fresh and relevant in an age where giant robots aside the second Patlabor movie

[30:15] may as well be a documentary. Well, okay, medium-sized robots is more accurate. Patlabor really sets itself apart from the Gundams of the world by envisioning its mass-produced mecha as instruments of industry rather than

[30:28] weapons of war, which allows it to tell more down-to-earth stories about everyday life in its near future world. With Easy being a movie trilogy, it's likely going to go for something more dramatic than that eventually, but

[30:42] hopefully in this first film at least, they'll keep the stakes and scope on the smaller side, which is where I think Patlabor is at its most fun. [music] I just hope it's actually good. Because in the time since we last got a really good

[30:57] Patlabor movie, there have been 28 Detective Conan movies every April except the COVID one for the last 29 years. Which, of course, means that by the time Patlabor hits in May, the 29th one, Fallen Angel of the Highway, is

[31:14] also going to be out. As for whether that's going to be a good movie, well, with the Conan franchise, they're almost never bad, but that mostly comes down to what talent they can pull the work on a given project. And this year, they

[31:27] pulled Takahiro Hasui, the director of Yaiba: Samurai Legend and Mob Psycho 100 season 3. So, it's probably going to be one of the better ones. And thankfully,

[31:39] franchises where you can jump into basically any film or episode you want with no prior knowledge. So, if the thing holding you back from watching past movies was their lack of motorbike stunts, feel free to jump right into

[31:54] this one. Also, taking bets now on whether or not that cop lady is going to do the Akira slide. Now, I believe that you might also be able to jump right into the Love Live! Hasuno Sora Jogakuin School Idol Club Party movie if you're

[32:11] so inclined. In a first for the franchise's movies, it's not directly related to any prior Love Live! TV show, but rather serves as an adaptation of the Link! Like! Love Live! mobile game, and also an excuse for the 3D CG

[32:26] animators at Sunrise to strut their stuff for an entire movie instead of just doing the dance scenes. That could make it the easiest of the Love Live! movies to go into blind, but only if it actually is an adaptation and not a

[32:39] direct continuation of the game story, which would make it one of the harder Love Live movies for English fans to watch since the game isn't available in English. Though that said, there are official English subbed uploads of all

[32:53] the games cutscenes available on the Love Live Hasu YouTube channel. So Love finds a way, I guess. That's all the movies we've got coming up, but there is still one more thing to talk about before you go. My Hero Academia more, a

[33:09] TV special adaptation of the final bonus chapter of the manga, which shows Deku and the gang living their lives 8 years after the big series finale, offering a bit more closure for all these characters you've spent all this time

[33:23] with and come to love. Though perhaps a little too much closure for some people. If you enjoy the story exactly as Horikoshi wrote it, this is definitely a must-watch. But if you're shall we say especially attached to any particular

[33:39] ships, just be forewarned it might slightly ruin your entire year. Though do remember, since it did come out this year, you're not allowed to let that influence your voting on the anime awards. Come to think of it, they

[34:07] that the algorithm may not have shown you. So if you like JJK and opening analysis in general, please go check that out. It's got some of the most densely packed hidden meaning I've ever seen in an anime opening. Way more

[34:19] secrets than I think anybody else who tried to cover it realized.
