Has it been announced which service will stream Chitose Is in the Ramune Bottle?
By the way, I find it kind of amusing that one of the better-received shows (as in, getting 3 or more stars from all previewers) so far is... donghua. |

Crunchyroll still has like 8 shows left to announce, and I'd bet good money that Chitose will end up there. I'm more worried about My Awkward Senpai (adult romance have a spotty record in getting picked up I feel).
Also, not that I completely disagree with the Dusk Beyond reviews but man, I do wonder how Vivy and Nier Automata would have been received had they come out this season. |

Well, Cat's Eye premise it's what is called "a product of their time". When aerobics, 80s music and leg warmers were everywhere. I just hope the animation is alright and stop thinking on the game "let's see who is sillier: the burglars using their name in their Café or the police, not recognizing the burglars".

Who Made Me a Princess: My first of the season, and it is EXCELLENT. The visuals are so lovely, as is the music (GREAT OP), and the story isn't rushed. I'm so happy to see Athy animated!

All three reviews of Dusk etc. decayed into keep-fighting-the-culture-war slurry by the halfway point.
...drawn in by a gravity well they were powerless to resist. |

Not the most exciting of seasonal starts (thus far) but A Wild Last Boss could be interesting story wise and Yano-kun's Ordinary Days seems like a decent and low-key watch. There are 9 or so comedy/romance anime this season though so I am unsure if the latter is good enough to stick with.

I mean I don't really trust Liden doing any better than TMS did in the 80s. The first episode didn't inspire too much promise beyond the ending animation. It seems like anything that isn't Call of the Night suffers in Liden's hands, see Bye Bye Earth or the Bastard ONA as examples. And even then, Call was still a step below titles like Dan Da Dan, Panty and Stocking or Ruri Rocks when it aired last season. And considering Liden had to do that and Detectives These Days are Crazy last season and likely within Cat's Eye's production schedule, I wouldn't be shocked if it suffered quite a bit. |

Dusk Beyond The End Of The World gets a 3-episode try, but that's me giving PA Works the benefit of the doubt. I was already dubious about all the robot girls shown in the promotional materials having the face of his dead girlfriend, but why did they have to bring back the "she's his sister but not reeeeeeally so it's ok ha ha ha" trope?
A minor correction: from the Encyclopedia here and other sources Naokatsu Tsuda didn't write Tokyo 24th Ward, that would be Vio Shikomura whose other major writing credit was... Buddy Daddies, another PA Works show that didn't survive 3 episodes with me. |

The problem with Cats Eye for me is that it moves too fast and because of that it doesn't really work as a first episode. It starts with Cats Eye and the detective Toshio already having a relationship, which can work, but because the episode moves at a breakneck speed it doesn't spend enough time fleshing out their relationship. I also get the sense, and I haven't watched the original series so I can't be sure, that its adapting what was originally 2 episodes, or that its adapting too many chapters cause this feels like it should be 2 full length episodes, but theyre rushing through the source material because the only have 12 episodes to work with. If future episodes slow down I think I can get into this, but if the pacing doesn't slow down its gonna be a drop for me.

Whelp this is a depressing start of a season, we're so far past the point where the choice of isekai is between "those with interesting premise" or "those that remind you of a previous Isekai" it's now between "those that remind you of a previous Isekai" (ie overloard, now with boob) or "those that are so generic you can't even name a specific isekai it copied".
I tried Yano-kun, feel like a slapstick comedy that was rewritten as a romance late in production. Ultimately I like romance when lead have chemistry rather than those were the author grab two people, shove them against each others and go "now kiss", but here I can't think of any reason why she's even mildly interested in him, is clumsiness the new sexy now? Its kinda weird they're remaking cats eye and not city hunter, I thought the later was the far more popular one. |

Shouldn't the page look more like this to replicate the true Crunchyroll experience right now:

Actually for many people, yes! Pathetic boys/men have a strong appeal, and ngl I fell in love with Yano-kun precisely because of how pathetic he is. I love pathetic characters. |

Crunchyroll did pick up My Awkward Senpai, it's listed in its page of fall streaming titles when I checked a few minutes ago. |

Regarding Who Made Me A Princess, the original comics were definitely isekai/transmigration, that's why "Who Made Me a Princess" is in the title. You could chalk that up to something like her being upset she has to deal with being a princess, but I'm pretty sure it was a novel series she read in the comics like The Disabled Tyrant and His Beloved Pet Fish.
This leads to hilarious detail changes like her having prophetic dreams about her entire doomed timeline. Prophecies are almost always vague and sporadic, but lucky little Athy (or unlucky due to trauma?) gets whole decades at a time. That might seem like a neat narrative take on prophecy, but it walks like a isekai and quacks like an isekai because it is indeed an isekai. I do think massive alternate timeline prophecies are interesting narratively and should be explored, but that was definitely an adaptational choice an not what the writer was going for. It also makes much her emotions make more sense because in the comicsspoiler[her Dad kills her! Which makes sense, because I would fear a man that eventually exiles me, but the sheer vomit inducing terror that Athy feels makes way more sense when you look at your would be murder.] Some of these changes seem weirdly arbitrary, I really wonder why they were made. |

City Hunter has had two new films in the past decade, the second of which from just a couple of years ago adapts the first part of the manga's final arc (so it's entirely possible that another film will likely get announced), so I think it's easy to see why City Hunter didn't get rebooted at the moment. Meanwhile, Cat's Eye had a crossover with Lupin the 3rd the same year as the second modern City Hunter movie, & the titular trio of thieves appeared in both recent City Hunter movies, so it's not like that series getting a full-on TV anime reboot came from out of nowhere. Also, it's entirely possible that Tsukasa Hojo simply really wanted to see his first hit manga be given a new anime, and since he helps run Coamix (& was a co-founder of it) he'd likely have an easier time getting an anime he really wants into production than most other mangaka would, since Coamix would be a direct producer of it. |
