Jeeves' Anime Roundup - April Edition! (No spoilers)

*** Direct from the keyboard of Jeeves the Bunny, providing literary lewdness for the furry fandom to enjoy. ^^ ***
It's a new month, and the first full month has passed since I started watching anime alongside my exercise biking. I'm continuing to make progress in my fitness goals, and along the way I've watched the following anime. Here are my spoiler free thoughts on the various shows I've watched (in order of when I watched them), but safe to say I've really enjoyed them all. :D
Also, if you are curious as to what I watched last month, you can read that journal HERE!
Jeeves Bunny's March 2023 anime watchlist:
- Bofuri (I don't want to get hurt, so I'll max out my defence). I've watched this show up to episode 7 of Season 2, which was the most recently released one up to that point. A couple more episodes have dropped since, but I'm gonna wait for the season to finish before I watch the rest. A really fun show even if I haven't been drawn into the characters like I have with others I've been watching, and good lord did it make me want to start playing an MMO again, lmao.
- After School Dice Club. A slice of life anime about friendship and board games! GOD I love chill slice of life shows where the highest stakes are "can we grow closer as friends and support one another through crises of confidence?" DIY, which I watched last month, encouraged me to seek out a tonne more shows in this genre, and After School Dice Club cemented the fact that it's definitely a genre I enjoy greatly. Expect many more slice of life animes on these lists. :D
- My Hero Academia: Season 1. This is a really cool little indie anime you probably haven't heard of, and... pffhahaha, okay no. So yeah, this is one of the most popular anime of the modern era, and despite saying I wasn't looking for animes with high stakes drama or violence... HOLY FUCK THIS IS A GOOD SHOW. :D I haven't been this engaged with superhero media in a long time, but daaaang. I may have started buying the manga of this just so when I get to the end of the anime's current run I don't have to stop consuming it. :D Also THE DAAAAAAAAAAAAY HAS COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOME holy fuck the S1 theme goes so hard lmao.
- Tamayomi: The Baseball Girls. In order to not let myself binge through MHA so fast I'm watching a slice of life show between each season. The first of these was a really fun slice of life/sports anime about baseball, and can I say that as someone from the UK who has never seen or showed any interest in baseball before... turns out that anime is the way to make me care about sports. I really wish this show had a season 2, but the season there is was fantastic.
- My Hero Academia: Season 2. When I saw that season 2 was double the length of season 1 I screamed in glee. I can absolutely see why this show is so popular, and while I love seeing Midoriya's development as it goes on, damn if I'm not invested in almost every single character (except Mineta. I know he's comic relief/meant to be a creep, but good god I'd love it if he was replaced by literally any other character.)
- A Place Further than the Universe. Another slice of life show, but so much more than that too. It has slightly higher stakes, though they really are still focused primarily on the characters' personal lives and growth, but the fact that it's about an Antarctic research expedition rather than, y'know, a high school club, makes it so much bigger in scope. Also, the end of one of the episodes made me bawl like a fucking baby in the most cathartic way. I'm literally tearing up thinking about it now, and grinning at the same time. If you haven't and you like wholesomeness and feels, WATCH THIS SHOW.
- My Hero Academia: Season 3. Another fantastic season. This is a no spoiler journal so I really can't say much, but yeah, I'm loving every last second of this show.
- Amanchu! Season 1 A slice of life anime about a lonely high schooler who transfers to a new school (a familiar trope for many slice of life shows I'm beginning to understand) and who is brought out of her shell slowly by a more energetic and optimistic friend with a passion for scuba diving. I was shocked to see that this show actually got a season 2, but haven't watched it yet! It's on my list for after MHA season 4. :o
And yeah, that's my list for March. If you're looking at how much anime that was and wondering how the hell I found time to watch it all in a month, consider this: I was biking 40-60 miles a day on my stationary bike by the end of the month, and watching anime for every second of that time (3ish hours a day). So yup, every episode is a fitter, healthier bunny!
Have you watched any of these shows? Let me know if so! And if you want more detailed/spoiler related comments on any of them, feel free to note me or hit me up on telegram (@ jeevesbun).
