Fall season and the year of 2024 is drawing to a close. Most shows have either wrapped up this past week or are wrapping up this week. So, let's talk about it! Did anything surprise you? disappoint you? exceed your expectations? Of course, more general topics are still welcome just like any week.

This past week has been super busy for me. I have been hard at work to wrap up some year-end projects, working on the year-end awards for anime, manga, and light novels, and then I got sick to top it all off. So, I am sad to report that I haven't gotten to watch any anime from this past week; literally zero. The backlog grows ever larger...

I made a separate thread completely devoted to the year-end awards voting. Go check it out! I have always kind of had a soft rule to not have more than two threads pinned to the community at a time because I feel like it pushes the fresh content too far down the page. However, if there is any time I can break that rule, it is when there is an election going on.

Finally, to talk a little bit about actual anime, there was one piece of anime news that I really enjoyed this week, but I didn't end up making a whole post about it: Chained Soldier cast Kana Hanazawa to play Ren Yamashiro. I have been reading the manga a bit past where the first season of the show ended, and Ren's character will be an interesting one to see portrayed on the screen. Getting Kana Hanazawa to play Ren is just perfect. She's already warmed up for the role after her portrayal of Alexia Midgar in The Eminence in Shadow.
