Septimal Anniversaries of Fall 2017 Anime

 Well it’s the Final Season of this 2017 Septimal Anniversary series.  

For continuing shows there was of course the second cour of Fate/Apocrypha which I still love.

Animegataris I remember fondly, it's been awhile since we’ve had a fully Meta Anime like that.

The second season of Yuki Yuna Is A Hero and the TV Anime version of Washio Sumi were both great..

Code:Realize - Guardian of Rebirth was a show I watched for its Shadowmen relevance but hasn’t stuck with me much, wouldn’t say anything was Bad about it though.

And that’s actually it for stuff I watched to completion at the time.  At least two other shows I started back then but didn’t complete till later.

A Sister’s All You Need I’ve actually become more fond of over time, though I still wish the “little brother” character was Trans Feminine instead of what they actually went with.

Kino’s Journey The Beautiful World. I found this show a perfectly adequate reboot but I definitely prefer the Aesthetic of the classic version even though I have never properly watched it.

Two shows I watched later are King’s Game which I do not recommend, and Dies Irae which I can’t particularly recommend either but at least that one I don't regret watching.

Two shows I’ve dropped from this season are ShoBitch and Recovery of an MMO Junkie.  What the appeal of the latter was supposed to be is done better by the 2016 show And you thought there is never a girl online? Aka Netoge, as well as 2023’s My Love Story with Yamada-kun at Lv999.

One of the Gundam The Origin OVAs came out this season, I still have mixed feelings on that series.

For movies we got the first Heaven’s Feel film and the first Girls und Panzer Das Finale film which are both great.  As well as Gundam Thunderbolt Bandit Flower which I didn’t like.  I did love December Sky which is from 2016 but was probably 2017 when I first watched it. 

And for Specials 2017 ended with Fate/Grand Order: Moonlight/Lostroom which is weird and I’m not sure what’s going on in it since I don’t play Grand Order.  It’s certainly well animated with neat moments.

Halloween Anime recs for 2024

I feel conflicted about doing one of these this year, I don’t want to do a big Halloween Anime Recommendation post every single year.  But last year I chose a framing device doomed to not age well.  

A bunch of stuff left Hulu at the end of August 2024 one of them was Blood-C leaving that entire franchise now with no legal streaming option.

Fortunately I didn’t list anything only on Funimation, but the way Crunchyroll and HIDIVE have been I have no idea what is and isn’t still on them.  And even RetroCrush and Tubi keep changing.

I should follow up on the one show that was still in progress last year, Zom100. Its first season ended strong, I still highly recommend it and hope we get more.

There is a new Horror Anime this season, by the time I publish this at least one episode of Uzumaki should have aired.  I personally won’t be watching it though, I watched Thought Slime’s video on the Manga once (I’m pretty sure it was on the ScardyCats channel) and it’s neat and all but not the kind of Horror I’m into.  But I do hope this Anime will be one the Manga fans can enjoy.  It sounds like it will be airing on Adult Swim meaning for streaming it should also be on its streaming App and maybe also Max.

I’ll probably rewatch Housing Complex C again this October, I considered it an instant Halloween classic in 2022 and it held up on rewatch in October of 2023.  But they say the third time you watch something is when you really know what you think of it.  I’m assuming it will still be on both Max and Adult Swim.

My number one is still the 2006 Studio Deen Higurashi Anime, but it’s not streaming anywhere, only the very frustrating Gou.

That’s all I really have to say for this post, check out my past Halloween tagged posts for more the Halloween seasonal Anime I recommend, just be prepared that where it’s watchable may have changed.
