The winter season ended at the end of April, but it took us a little longer to watch the remaining premieres and select the ten most fascinating animes of winter 2023.
ten. Somali to mori no kamisama / Somali and the forest spirit / Somalia and the Spirit of the Forest
Here is the story of a human child and a golem who became her adoptive father. The characters are trying to find the last people who were almost exterminated in the war with the beastmen. Spectators will see a road movie with incredibly beautiful landscapes.
Unfortunately, the slow narrative, where nothing happens in half of the series, harms the idea of the authors.
nine. Dorohedoro / Dorohedoro
One of the most controversial releases of this winter, which, despite its original approach to illustrating the world with magic, turned out to be quite crumpled in the plot.
Some moments were clearly drawn under the influence of hallucinogenic mushrooms (there are plenty of them in the anime).
If you decide to watch this project, it is better not during the meal. The topic of food is touched here more than once, and literally around the corner you can expect cruel bloody scenes that will cause only nausea.
Risovka will definitely not go to everyone.
8. Kyokou Suiri / In / specter / False conclusions
The story of a girl who gave her eyes and legs to become the goddess of wisdom for all otherworldly forces, and the guy who ate a mermaid in his childhood and is now virtually immortal, turns into a psychological detective, somewhat reminiscent of “The corpse under the legs of Sakurako“
Only here are the stories themselves even more complex and confusing.
It’s nice to watch, even if you meet several fillers.
7. Itai no wa Iya nano de Bougyoryoku ni Kyokufuri Shitai to Omoimasu / BOFURI: I don’t want to get hurt, so I’ll max out my defense / I don’t like pain, so I’m going to put everything in defense
This work is dedicated to RPG players who like to play for tank class characters. The story of a schoolgirl who first decided to play VR RPG and because of her dislike of pain (who loves her except masochists?), Decided to pump only protection.
Thanks to her style of “mobile fortress”, as well as her amazing luck in finding useful attacking skills, the girl becomes very famous in the game world, that even admins have to repeatedly balance and nerf the main character.
And then everything is like in online games – raids, dungeons, clan battles, and comic situations, of course.
6. Runway de waratte / Smile Down the Runway / Smile on the podium
The story of a short model, dreaming of the catwalks of Paris, and a tailor from a poor family who wants to become a famous clothing designer, surprisingly turned out to be one of the most interesting series of the winter season of 2023.
The expression “patience and labor will grind everything” very accurately describes the characters of the main characters. And a pleasant picture and the opportunity to look into the backstage of a modeling business may interest even a sophisticated viewer.
The kindness that we so lacked in quarantine.
five. BanG Dream! 3rd season / Hooray dream! 3
For three years, the anime series on the franchise of multimedia giant Bushiroad has been able to evolve from a fairly average story about school music groups performing in the evenings in a district club to an interesting narrative of rivalry, flavored with humor and drama.
However, the groups are united not only by their love of music, but also by the dream of getting to the main concert venue in Japan, Budokan, where everyone has a chance to perform this season.
4. Ishuzoku Reviewers / Interspecies Reviewers / Interspecific Reviewers
One of the most scandalous premieres of this year talks about successful reviewers of brothels in the fantasy world. Androgynous angel joins a group of two anxious adventurers, who participates in all orgies, fearing that his companions will rape him.
Naturally, humor below the waist, vulgar jokes and new characters in each series spill over into one of the most jaunty comedies of the beginning of the year.
However, sometimes authors cross the line, demonstrating already very strange distortions.
3. Darwin’s game / Darwin’s game
In the center of the plot is a traditional tie with a mobile game that turns any registered user into a participant in a bloody contest. Naturally, each player has unique abilities.
Despite some patterns, watching the story is extremely interesting. It is a pity that the second season will have to wait a long time.
2. Toaru Kagaku no Railgun T / A Certain Scientific Railgun T / Some scientific Railgun T
Triumphant return of “Railgun” from Tokivadai school was waiting for long 7 years, however, like the “Index of Magic”, which ended a year ago. However, with the latter, everything was not so smooth, and the ordinary viewer did not understand what was going on in the second half of the season in Siberia, dotted with “cranberry” stamps.
With “Railgun” this did not happen, and despite frequent interruptions due to the pandemic, which did not affect the quality of the film adaptation, the first arch of the season turned out to be interesting and spectacular. And ahead of us are waiting for another 10 episodes of the second arch, which will begin to be released in July.
1. Eizouken ni wa Te wo Dasuna! / Hands off the Motion Pictures Club! / Hands off the Cinema Club!
The story of three schoolgirls who love anime and want to create their own films is saturated with light humor, a detailed story about the animation production process and unusual visualization of their incredible fantasies.
The authors of the series perfectly reveal the characters of the heroines, try to avoid cliches and pay maximum attention to the unusual presentation, where there is a place for animated sketches, unexpected visual solutions and the maximum elaboration of details.
And, of course, everyday life is filled with the magic of Ghibli studio. This is definitely the best project of the winter season.
