For the first update of 2023 I shall begin by discussing the Dubs I’m watching on HIDIVE which are actually from winter 2022.
The Eminence in Shadow is interesting, the way it was described on YouTube by Gigguk and Mother’s Basement isn’t wrong but it does take its time building up. Tonally speaking it’s taking itself pretty seriously.
Each of the first 3 episodes feels like a pilot to a completely different show, then 3-5 feel like a proper miniarc.
I keep considering dropping in, not because it’s bad or anything, lots of shows I dropped I don’t actually see anything wrong with, it’s simply a matter of keeping my particular interest. And thinking about that every Monday has made me realize that it’s kind of harder to make the decision to drop a show when you’re going week by week. If the next episode won’t be for a week anyway I figure I might as well leave on Watching and see how I feel then, and then since it only takes under half an hour I typically have nothing better to do. Deciding to Binge a show meanwhile could mean devoting the rest of the day to that show.
Reincarnated as a Sword has also been consistently entertaining but I won’t call it one of the best Isekai of 2022.
Akiba Maid Wars I’ve only seen 2 episodes of, it took longer to start, but it’s fun, I’m enjoying it.
Now onto the proper Crunchyroll Dubs of 2023.
Sugar Apple Fairy Tale had an interesting pilot, but I’m not sure I’ll keep watching.
Rougo Saving 80,000 Gold in Another World for My Retirement is a rare example of a show I’d actually read some of the Manga version of already, and this pilot lived up to my expectations. I’m merely concerned it may wind up rushing things going forward.
The Ice Guy Anime I wasn’t able to complete the pilot for, it looks very well made, but once I could tell it was basically just a Gag Manga I tuned out.
Ningen Fushin feels like it’s trying to be the Anime Vox Machina, I didn’t like Vox Machina but I do like Anime. I’m confused on whether or not this is an Isekai or not, the Idol being present isn’t explained in the first episode.
Bofuri season 2 started with a Christmas episode which was interesting.
Looking forward to shows I haven’t started yet, more confirmed Crunchyroll simuldubs I may start but I don’t know how for certain, it depends if any catch my interest.
Shows I’m still holding out hope will get Simuldubbed include Magical Revolution, Tsundere Villainess and Spy Classroom.
Starting January 28th a new main plotline arc of Detective Conan will start so I may actually be consistently following it week by week for a while.
When February starts I’ll watch Detective Conan: The Culprit Hamazawa once they’re up on Netflix.
And I’ll at least try to watch the new PreCure subbed which is called Hirogaru Sky! Pretty Cure, set to debut on February 5th.
