@lemmy.mltl;dr: the new season's yaml files haven't yet been fully merged into the source code (PR here)
@chaorace@lemmy.sdf.org might want to chime in here as well as the bot maintainer, but I think I know what is going on, but the explanation is going to be a bit technical.
Shinobu is a lemmy-focused fork of the holo project. Both projects use user-curated yaml files that contain all the information for each show. As an example, you can check out Fall 2023's yaml file here. This winter's yaml file has not been merged into the holo project yet. There is an open pull request to do so, but it is still open. The reddit mods have clearly already merged these commits since their bot is posting, but Shinobu hasn't done so yet. Also, the reddit bot is not a straight copy of the source code that is on github, there are clearly some tweaks they do on the backend to do things like pick up shows that shinobu can't see, but that is a whole other topic.
I suspect that chaorace is waiting for the pull request to close and the new season's yaml to be merged before adding it to shinobu, but I haven't spoken with them. For what it is worth, I run a copy of holo on a test lemmy instance I host and by merging the 5 commits in the PR, my local holo was able to make posts for the winter shows (but it doesn't pick up Classroom of the Elite for whatever reason picked it up after a couple hours).
I wrote elsewhere about my thoughts on Tsukimichi season 2. I am a big fan of the source material and agree that the first season was alright at best. I think part of it is that the first parts of the story are probably its weakest, but then the anime was a very mediocre adaptation. So, it was a mediocre adaptation of not great parts of the story which added up to a very generic feeling isekai.
For the second season (which I was surprised to see happen tbh), there is a new studio and they announced it will be 2 cours. So, I am hoping that better source material combined with a renewed investment in the production will add up to a better season of anime this time around. We will see!
At the end of the day though, if the first season didn't connect with you at all, season 2 probably won't either.
I haven't read the source manga for this show, but those that have said to expect something completely unhinged (in the best way).
@ram@lemmy.ca @N3DSdude@lemmy.ml Would one of the mods be able to pin this discussion thread and unpin the old one that is a couple weeks out of date. It would be appreciated!
I have a couple tweaks to the list I posted previously. I plan on watching a handful of shows in the new season:
Wanted to pop into this thread and share that the Volume 1 cover was released.
Also, love that her strategy for dealing with all the drinks is to cut it with alcohol.
The full results are here. Anime Corner can be incredibly variable week to week. As a point of comparison, the reddit karma rankings are much more stable usually. This is what they looked like for week 12.
I have read/watched a lot of bad isekai. Reincarnated as a Sword is not one of them. The premise might be dumb on the surface, but it is executed extremely well. I think part of what makes it work is how the relationship between Master and Fran is a Father/Daughter one. It just kind of makes the whole thing work. I had dropped the manga at one point because I thought it was kind of losing its way, but then found out that the arc I didn't like was a manga-only filler arc. After I got back onto light novel content, it was the great old Fran/Master journey that I loved.
Really glad they announced a season 2 is on the way.
I really like the manga for Tonikaku Kawaii (and several other fluffy romances like it), but haven't ever really liked any of the anime adaptations of them. I just don't think it usually translates to the medium well. I often end up bored and the studios don't put enough effort into the animation or soundtrack to keep my attention that way either.
Heavenly Delusion was probably my biggest surprise this year. I had never heard of it before, randomly picked it up, and it was outstanding.
