In Japan they are to discuss on the forums that in this Winter 2024 anime season (January – March) no anime stood out. Do you agree with this statement?
According to Japanese internet users, no anime series has managed to capture enough attention to be remembered in the future, which has generated a debate about the criteria for determining the relevance of a work in this medium.
Anime fans often consider several aspects when evaluating whether a series becomes relevant or not. The quality of the narrative; a well-constructed plot and memorable characters often distinguish a series from the crowd. Originality and freshness are also valued, as works that present new ideas or approach genres in an innovative way tend to stand out more.
Technical quality, including animation and character design, significantly influences the perception of a series. Those with stunning visual output often capture attention and make a lasting impact on audiences. Furthermore, critical reception and popularity with the public are important considerations; Series praised by critics and with great support on social media tend to be considered more relevant.
Finally, the cultural impact and duration on collective memory are fundamental aspects. Some series become relevant not only because of their intrinsic quality, but also because of their lasting impact on popular culture and their ability to remain in viewers’ memories long after their original broadcast.
In the comments we can read:
- It’s not good when a season ends without a series that stands out in particular.
- Neither Sousou no Frieren nor Kusuriya no Hitorigoto are from this season, remember that
- I would put Mahou Shoujo ni Akogarete, Villainess Level 99, The Weakest Tamer Began a Journey to Pick Up Trash, ‘Tis Time for “Torture,” Princess and My Instant Death Ability is So Overpowered
- Am I the only one who finds Solo Leveling interesting this season?
- The worst is when Sasaki to Pii-chan gets its long-awaited anime adaptation and everything ends up being a fiasco.
- There was a lot of expectation for Sasaki to Pii-chan with the first episode, but after the second everything was disappointing
- The anime that dominates this season is Dungeon Meshi
- The most relevant this season is the Hazbin Hotel
- Although none of them were relevant, the average was decent, at least
- Kusuriya no Hitorigoto will certainly continue the trend even after the anime ends, but Sousou no Frieren will be gone in no time.
- Dungeon Meshi finally got interesting, although I feel like the pacing wasn’t right for this adaptation
- I understand the excitement over the first season of The Dangers in My Heart, but the second season was disappointing
- I think Pon no Michi was only relevant because the author of Gotoubun no Hanayome was the character designer, but no one talked about the series after it started.
