    I really appreciate that you just put the anime in the tier you thought they belonged, despite how scuffed the tier list ended up looking. People often have the tendency of trying to balance out the tiers, which kinda defeats the purpose of rating the series in the first place. It's a tiny thing, but thanks.

    ​@@yerriff8115 When you make a tierlist for characters, classes or weapons in a game you can rate all there are. Evening out the tiers makes sense because you can rate every single one of them and you know that the average should be grouped around B tier. However in this case, we aren't rating all anime. But one season. Which is a season of anime that is above average when compared to "all" anime. So it does not make sense to even out the tiers. A series that is weak for this season can still be A tier when considering anime as a whole. I explained this pretty poorly, but I hope you understand what I mean.

    Tomo-chan is the most textbook romcom I've seen. It knows where it wants to end, good side characters, conclusive story, not doing more than it needs to. Tomo-chan should be taught in anime making schools at the romcom discipline. It's a basic romcom done well. Like a good homemade lasagna.

    I watched 1 episode and dropped, came back to see people praising when it was finished so gave it another try. It really does get better in 2~3 episodes. It's not perfect, but it is a character driven story with good plot and a lot of (decent) humor. I'd give it an 8/10, one of the best of the season (maybe second?) clearly not above Vinland though. I think the season was overall pretty weak as well, which is why I'd rate it so high.

Not every character is gonna be like goku and just go back to fighting again, there’s been more character development for Thorfinn in the first 6 episodes of this season than there was in all of season 1.

    Vinland Saga S2 has been just incredible. The themes in S2 really bring light to the events in S1 in a deeo way. People who had depression or even everyday people who struggle with stuff like regret can relate so much with the themes this show is trying to portray. It sucks that some people dropped the show because it was "boring with no Viking action". Nowadays it's action, gore, shiny animation, fan service and senseless protagonist screaming which makes a show "watchable". Shounen fans being the worst of this catagory. Still I'm just glad to see Vinland Saga got a great anime adaptation by Mappa (yes I know it's the same team from Studio Wits who are working on S2 under Studio Mappa).

A lot of times, isekai is pretty much indistinguishable from standard fantasy, but Saving 80,000 Gold in Another World for My Retirement does something special: the MC can jump between worlds at will. Farming was really cozy, and Saitou had a good mix of comedy and feeling. Chillin' felt kind of generic, but when the season was done I was impressed at how they worked with the characters and the world.

    Spy Classroom suffered from having an LN vol 1 that was almost impossible to adapt properly simply due to the Erna surprise introduction. All of the complaints that they skipped over all of the training that would have developed the characters properly was because every one of those would have revealed Erna. They could either do what they did in the anime and keep Erna secret and delay all those training montages until later, or they could have done away with Erna's surprise reveal and adapted the training in it's proper place - and had just as many people complain about how Erna's surprise introduction was ruined. It was a no-win situation for those adapting this series. The worst part is LN readers should have known this, and yet they were the ones screaming the loudest about how the adaptation was terrible because they were skipping over all of the training scenes.

As was stated, Erna missed the official introduction of the team, but when they included her in a training mission they'd conveniently leave one of the other members of Lamplight out. Same as in the anime, Erna was officially revealed and Lamplight was revealed to be a team of 8 during the same mission as in the anime. Honestly, if you were seriously paying attention while reading you would have picked up on it, but if you were reading casually it was very easy to lose this fact in the words - which was what the author was intending. But this would have never worked in the anime because faces are so much easier to remember, and as it was Erna's presence (table settings, arms, legs, etc) was in several scenes and it was easily picked out.

    oh no did you forgot to add Danmachi??? potential God tier it was the best anime of the season for me personally and every episode was intense & amazing. strongest exorcist isekai was pretty decent to me too. nevertheless, appreciate the tierlist and agree with most of it. can't expect too much since i havn't been able to even watch half of all these that you've watched to come up with this. Tenshi should be S tier if we factor in LN popularity but this is an anime tierlist overall a decent anime season, cya in the next tierlist which might be crazier idk

    The genius of Vinland saga is the juxtaposition of peace and violence but it goes even deeper than that as it follows the evolution and character development of both the young king and Thorfinn. While first season was about strength through violence, the second season focused on peaceful resistance which made it so slow. This reminds of the zen story: During the civil wars in feudal Japan, an invading army would quickly sweep into a town and take control. In one particular village, everyone fled just before the army arrived - everyone except the Zen master. Curious about this old fellow, the general went to the temple to see for himself what kind of man this master was. When he wasn't treated with the deference and submissiveness to which he was accustomed, the general burst into anger. "You fool," he shouted as he reached for his sword, "don't you realize you are standing before a man who could run you through without blinking an eye!" But despite the threat, the master seemed unmoved. "And do you realize," the master replied calmly, "that you are standing before a man who can be run through without blinking an eye?"

    MagiRevo was so great, but I'm irritated about how they decided to end it. If I had to guess, the writers probably had no faith that they'd get greenlit for a continuation so they tried to rush it to a satisfying end point, which meant skipping a lot of important things and have a final episode that bit off more than it could chew. Spoilers: With the whole ending monologue about how they reformed society and ended the monarchy stuff, you'd think this is just where the story ends, but it only adapted 3 volumes of the LN. So far it has six and it's still going. I just wish they'd made it to just be a good anime instead of effectively using it as an ad for the source material. I still really liked it, but it was frustrating. Yuri does make it s tier tho

    As someone who is a fan of CGDCT, Onimai was my personal AOTS, but only if I exclude the second cour of Eminence in Shadow. I do think quick relationships are good in romance series, but if the author decides to go that route, I prefer when there's still content left after the fact instead of just ending the series. Also, I'm surprised you didn't include Danmachi or the rest of To Your Eternity that aired

    Hey, this roundup was super useful! I'm getting deeper into anime (after having watched not much beyond original FMA, Evangelion, half of Death Note over the years), so I'm spoiled for choice. I did watch Tomo-chan (the best part of which is that it's a story that's done in a single season), so it's nice to see that I don't have to bother with the rest of winter 2023 for a bit! Don't get me wrong, I liked Tomo-chan, but it didn't wow me like Kaguya, Bocchi or Mob, and I still have plenty of S-tier anime from earlier seasons to watch. Like Vinland Saga, apparently!

    many are disappointed with the Vinland Saga season 2 arc, you guys are not observant in judging this anime. not all about the brutality of war and who is strong, this vinland saga season 2 gives a lot of meaning to our real life that war and slavery are very, very cruel and inhumane things, it's true that the ends end up being war but, as a leader who loves peace like Thors said a world that is peaceful and without war and slavery is very difficult to achieve like a fantasy, but remember one thing "CARVE that you have no enemies". -Thors Snorresson vinland saga which is taken from this true story. very very beautiful arc as long as I watch anime. this is called maturity in an assessment of life as a human being who loves the beauty of peace.

Highly recommend for isekai fans. Kaina of the Great Snow Sea: B tier if you can get past the CGI. The story and characters are actually pretty good. Low budget show so animation quality is poor but ignoring that it is good. Revenger: B tier solid show not too much to say. Sugar Apple Fairy Tale: C tier, interesting premise but not for me.
