It’s that time of year again when the new season of anime starts to hit! Whether you’re new to anime or an old fan, it can be hard to decide which series are worth your time. This guide will help you pick out some of the best new anime of the season and find shows that suit your interests, no matter what they may be!
Have you watched the older series?
If you’re a regular anime viewer, chances are you have watched or at least heard about all of the season’s new releases. But if you’re just getting into anime, or if you aren’t watching regularly, it can be hard to know which series are worth checking out. You might be tempted to skip season premieres altogether, but that doesn’t help figure out what would be a good choice. Instead, take time early in each season and familiarize yourself with what’s available. You can watch trailers online or check out other videos on YouTube that may give more information about why a particular show is exciting (or not). It’s much easier to choose from an established list than from nothing at all. The bottom line?
Watch popular shows that are similar
With so many great shows being released every season, it can be tough to choose which one you’ll end up watching. If you’re having trouble picking an anime, take some time and watch a few episodes of similar shows that were just released. Once you’ve got an idea for what kind of show you like, it’ll be easier to pick one that fits your taste. And remember: it’s not just about similar genres; there are other factors, too! Things like art style and themes in anime often cross over into multiple different series so don’t forget to look at those, too. There are plenty more comparisons out there—make sure you take advantage before deciding on a new show!
Reviewers Are Your Friends
A good reviewer will tell you about every little detail about an anime and point out any issues that could be deal-breakers for you. But what makes a good reviewer? Well, when someone reviews something they’re passionate about, it shows. People can read between lines and tell if someone is being objective or if they’re just pushing an agenda. In other words, you can feel confident trusting their word. And that leads me to my next tip… If a site seems too enthusiastic in proclaiming its best anime of all time, odds are it’s not very trustworthy.
The best way to find out if an anime is for you is by reading a preview. It will tell you whether or not it’s even worth your time. Don’t read reviews, either–you can’t trust them! Those little number scores have no bearing on whether or not an anime will be good for you and are based on entirely different criteria from what matters in good anime. Also, let other people’s opinions be your guide, but only if they’re qualified to judge. A good example would be someone who watches a lot of anime (but isn’t obsessive about it) and has similar tastes as yours.
Consider Production Values
A common reason for choosing a particular anime is because you have watched some series with similar themes, or from the same production studio. If you’ve seen Ghost in the Shell, chances are that you will enjoy Psycho-Pass. As such, it is important to consider which production company has produced your potential new show. Production values have a great impact on both artistic merit and general quality; if an anime has top-notch animation, it can make an average story far more interesting. Therefore, always take note of who produced a new show before deciding whether or not to watch it—you never know what hidden gem could be awaiting!
Read Character Interactions and Endings
When it comes to anime, I have a saying: อนิเมะใหม่ is king. Does an anime have interesting characters? Do you care about them? Are you able to connect with them? If so, an anime has done its job. The reverse is also true. Take Fate/Zero for example. It’s widely regarded as one of the best anime series in recent years—but if you ask me, it’s boring! That’s because most people tend to focus on complex storylines and memorable battles when evaluating shows. I don’t agree with that approach at all. For me, character interactions are what makes or breaks a show; often, they carry much more emotional weight than epic storylines do!
