It's time to vote on shows for our Spring season and build out our schedule. Much of our schedule time this week will be reserved for that, with time for re-sampling episodes as needed for voting taking up additional time, along with sampling some of the new season's shows (it looks like there are 46 episodes of shows for us to sample this season). I'll also list continuations of some continuing shows we've been watching as placeholders, but with no expectation we'll actually get to them.
You can see a list of what we sampled and other things we watched last season on our Winter 2025 page.
There are a couple animated movies in theaters now. Princess Mononoke has screenings in IMAX based on a 4K remaster through Thursday 4/10, and the Looney Tunes movie The Day the Earth Blew Up also has screenings running through Thursday 4/10.
Comics Factory's last day of business is Wednesday April 23; their clearance sale is ongoing.
6:30 - 10:30 Voting and re-sampling, and in some cases sampling shows added to the voting list that people don't remember e.g. Adam has asked us to consider ACCA: 13-Territory Inspection Dept. (CR).
As time permits, we may watch some episodes of shows we can reasonably expect to continue from last season, such as:
Urusei Yatsura (2022)
13
(HD, BD)
The Apothecary Diaries
37
(CR)
Silver Spoon S2
1
(BD)
We might also sample some of this season's new shows, such as
Attendance:
Notes: Lots of people tonight. We got everyone to vote (Apothecary Diaries had basically everyone vote for it), then moved on to sampling Acca episode 1. Then we went on to Urusei Yatsura and (since we were already on HiDive) sampled Rock is a Lady's Modesty (HD). Then we watched Apothecary Diaries and went to intermission and gave people time to adjust their votes a bit.
After break, we sampled Sword of the Demon Hunter: Kijin Gentosho (HD), then Devil May Cry (Netflix). We didn't make it to Silver Spoon
6:30 - 10:30 schedule-building
After that, we'll probably sample some shows from the new season such as:
We may also squeeze in a few short features:
Attendance:
Notes: We started by sampling before going into schedule-building so that (if we did spend almost the whole night sampling shows), we would have at least broken them up a bit.
Please Put Them On, Takamine-san (CR) - we bailed within just a few minutes, shortly after the first "I didn't know Crunchyroll showed that" shot
Once Upon a Witch's Death (CR)
I'm the Evil Lord of an Intergalactic Empire ep 2 (CR) - episode 2 sampled instead of episode 1 based on Arthur's recommendation
Catch Me at the Ballpark (CR)
Then we worked on the schedule, and came to an agreement in short order.
After break, we went back to samplers:
The Unaware Atelier Meister (CR)
The Too-Perfect Saint: Tossed Aside by My Fiance and Sold to Another Kingdom (CR)
Guilty Gear Strive: Dual Rulers (CR)
The Beginning After the End (CR)
Your Forma (fs)
Our Winter planning looked a bit like this:
