Going in, I really only cared about Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 and Frieren Season 2. Everything else was a bonus. I talk about a few standouts, like A Gentle Noble’s Vacation Recommendation and The Otherworld’s Books Depend on the Bean Counter, both of which really surprised me. On the other side, Dark Moon just didn’t land for me at all. Overall, this season showed me I don’t always need nonstop action — sometimes I just want to sit with a story. 🎧⭐ New episodes drop weekly — follow along as I recap and review anime one arc at a time.
