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!

As always, remember to be mindful of spoilers. If you want to know more about how to handle spoilers in this community, check the guide here (also linked in the sidebar).

I've been very unimpressed with this season's offerings so far, but there's plenty of returning shows I'm excited for: Hanako-kun, which my friends and I just finished a rewatch of (since it's been so long), Apothecary Diaries, and My Happy Marriage. While I enjoyed the first season of 100 Girlfriends, I took a peak at the new girls for the next season and have decided that it's time for me to cut my losses and dip before the age gap stuff sours it for me. I also noticed that there was a very late addition: a single episode of Tamagawa-kun Wants to Be A Cat, which is a manga I follow and adore, though I can't find much info on the adaptation. Hopefully it doesn't end up a trainwreck.

Yeah, for whatever reason, most of the more highly anticipated shows are starting in the next week. So, this week has felt like a bit of a lackluster start to the season. Here's hoping that things pick up. This past fall was a kind of down season with just a couple exceptions, so it would be a shame if this season didn't pick things back up.
