Faraway Paladin 2nd Season? I'm hyped. Not much else that I'm overly looking forward to in terms of sequels, though (I've sworn off AoT for now until it's genuinely over).
Which new shows do you folks foresee making the top ranks this season? Most of these titles are totally new to me, though I've heard that the 100 Girlfriends manga is kind of notorious. Maybe that'll be this season's so-bad-it's-good show?
100GF is an actually great manga. Fully self aware of how absurd it is and plays it up really well to hilarious effect. What I am not sure about is how well it can be adapted to anime. I frankly think the humor won't come across as well, but am definitely going to be checking it out.
Frieren has all the markings of a great show based on the staff and the source material is truly excellent, so that is one to watch.
The last one I am going to keep an eye on is Tearmoon Empire. I haven't read it, but the LN series is very beloved.
Is 100GF like Girlfriend, Girlfriend?
They are similar in that they are very silly, comedy first romcoms. The main difference I think is that there is very little to no drama around the fact that the MC is dating multiple people. Everybody just accepts that fact and moves on. It becomes a running joke in the manga when the MC introduces a new girlfriend. 100GF mainly uses the cast of girlfriends to drive the comedy rather than actual relationship stuff.
