Every Winter 2020 Anime seems to be mediocre.

The new season just started though, a few other shows haven't started airing yet.

I would highly disagree with that.

Haikyu!!: To The Top, Magia Record, Eizouken ni wa Te wo Dasu na!, ToAru Kagaku no Railgun T, Runway de Waratte and Somali to Mori no Kamisama have had great starts! On par with Fall 2019, this season I reckon.

Definitely going to give out a lot more 8s this season, I'm predicting.

Haven't really watched the new season yet but with haikyuu returning and Dorohedoro getting an anime I'm not worried (first vinland saga and now Dorohedoro, lucky times!)

lol everyone already pulled up with eizouken. good, i don't have to then.

can't believe it, though, it's a season without any big isekai -- i thought that's what people hated :)

Hands Off Eizouken.
Directed by Masaaki Yuasa. Some of the best animated sequences because of a clear and burning passion for animation; also reflected a lot in the dialogue. Already has a 8+ rating.

If My Favorite Idol Made It To the Budoukan, I Would Die.
A really funny show, mocking idol fans. Despite it technically being an idol show, it has no CGI dances; hand-drawn.

Toilet-Bound Hanako-kun.
Really good artstyle, and interesting plot.

ID: Invaded.
Interesting Mystery Show.

Rikekoi and Runway de Warate also look interesting, but I haven't watched them.


Read the manga for Runway. The pacing of the anime is... aaaah
the pace is fine for me. I understand in the first episode they need to put two main characters introduction in single episode.

Why do y'all spend time doing these fucking threads?

Is it really that fun?

Please just shut the fuck up. Like, I'm saying it from the bottom of my heart. Just stop. It's always the same exact thread. Winter 2020 literally started 1 week ago. Why do you spend your energies making these threads?

Like it doesn't even start a discussion. What should we talk about in this thread? What do we think of Winter season? How the heck if just 1 or 2 episode of the Winter anime got released?

I already commented on this thread, but seeing it again makes me angry for some reason.
There are always good shows coming out. Having such a pessimistic view won't make things better. What's the point to this thread?

And I would consider this season one of the better ones.

I usually watch the first episodes of the things I'm interested in, and I usually end up watching 2-3 shows per season. That's what happened in Winter, Spring and Summer 2019.

This season I thoroughly enjoyed the first episodes of 10 shows.

There was a carbon-copy of this thread for Fall 2019, and I completely enjoyed 9 shows. 10 if I count the Saiki K sequel/midquel I will clearly like.

Toaru Kagaku no Railgun T will likely beat Vinland Saga's ratings in MAL once it hits episode 12.

Haikyuu!!: To the Top will make KnY from last year look like yesterday's anime. It's already 9+ yo! Hunter X Hunter (2011) is going down, minna!

But the anime you should keep an eye on is Eizouken ni wa Te wo Dasu na! I have not seen it but the hype surrounding it makes me think it will definitely challenge every anime ever existed in this decade!

Ah, warms my heart to see everyone immediately jump on the Eizouken wagon. Good, good.

Anyway can we stop with these posts? Please? Every season people are claiming it's the worst season of anime. It's only been like two weeks, dude.

The mods should just merge all these 2020 anime season threads. It's kind of a waste of space to have like 4 of these going.

Isekai Quartet begs to differ with your very very flawed opinion. And every anime? That includes Haikyuu. You're contradicting yourself.

I keep enjoying most of the anime this season. But from an elevated standpoint yes the shows are mediocre, besides Dorohedoro and Invaded. These are great.

The only problem for me is that it seems there is only one ecchi this season, a damn shame.


But that show, Interspecies Reviewers looks like it could be one of the most funny shows ever directly dealing with peoples' views on sex & sex workers. I've never come across anything like this outside of hentai, so I'm not complaining.

There's actually a few ecchi tags for this season. As well as Interspecies Reviewer I mention above, there's Plunderer, Hatena Illusion & Overflow (although this sounds like a barely disguised hentai show).

I'm not saying there are no shows to enjoy, there are a lot of guilty pleasures or shows that are entertaining. For example Dorohedoro and Darwin's game. But their are very few all around quality anime besides Haikyuu and maybe Eizouken ni wa Te wo Dasu na! (Amazing animation but boring plot).
Its my opinion but I'm hoping either Jibaku Shounen Hanako-kun or Somali to Mori no Kamisama prove me wrong as they have potential.

1. I totally disagree with you. There are plenty of good shows. Two examples include Eizouken and ID:Invaded. Check them out.

2. The MAL rating shouldn't be the only indicator you use to decide if a show is good or bad or, even, just enjoyable. Read the synopsis. Watch the first, maybe even second, episode. Make up your own mind instead of relying on the opinion of others.

Even if there are good shows in this season, most of the time the first episode won't really reflect on that.

Also Fall > Winter usually.

I mean, you're not wrong, but if you like Darwin's Game, you can't be too picky about quality.

I am enjoying most of them thus far, yes some are a bit boring but most are enjoyable. SO far my faves have been Dorohedoro, keep your hands off Eizouken!, Somali to mori kamisama, Science fell in love. Also Interspecies Reviewers (I can't believe it's not hentai)

I'm wondering how many people are just all over eizoken's junk because of the interesting art style, seems like a pretty shallow reason to drool over a show so much in my opinion, but it doesn't seem like a boring show based off the 1st episode at least, so I'll probably finish it.

Tons of potential. I already know the story and it is a masterpiece of surreal chaotic storytelling. But it seems like the anime gets it. It just has a lot of CG but it’s done really well.
