New year, new season of anime! It is Winter 2025 time! So, it's time to talk about what we are looking forward to in the coming season. I will be monitoring this thread and enabling any shows people mention in the upcoming season so that rikka will make discussion posts for them. Like always, discussion about any other anime topic is also welcome!

Ah.

Well, at least it wasn't the cynical attempt to establish a franchise that I took it to be. It really felt to me like the entire point of that season in the long run was simply to create a demand for season 2.

I might have to look into the LN, because I liked the story well enough until I figured out that we weren't getting any sort of resolution of anything, and the petty contrarian in me kicked in.

For what it's worth, J-Novel Club has the license for the LNs. They've published 13 volumes in ebook and (unusually, for them) 12 in paperback. The translation is decent overall, but they don't keep careful enough track of the setting's lore from volume to volume and end up translating some terms inconsistently, and there are occasional outright grammar bodges (something I am regrettably sensitive to). They need a better editor.
