The Summer-2024
(July-September) anime season has been the subject of strong
criticism from Internet users in Japan, who have expressed their discontent in
various forums and social networks. Many have described this season as
“a failure ,” and negative opinions about the recent premieres have
not been long in coming.
A popular comment points out that, despite being one
of the most anticipated animes, the first episode of “Oshi no Ko”
lacked emotion and did not meet expectations . Furthermore, it is
mentioned that the three PAWORKS productions (" Tensui
no Sakuna-hime ", " Na Nare Hana Nare ",
and " Mayonaka Punch ") seem destined to fail, and that
the series " Shikanoko Nokonoko Koshitantan " was
received with a resounding “what the hell is this?”
Other Internet users express their skepticism about
the quality of animes not yet released, wondering if there is anything really
worth it. One user commented that compared to “ Shikanoko Nokonoko
Koshitantan “, every other anime seems better, noting that the level
of disappointment is such that even the series “ My Wife Has No Emotion ”
barely escapes the harshest criticism.
Some comments highlight the lack of clarity in the
plots of the new animes. “ I don't understand what they're
doing , ” said one frustrated viewer. The general perception
is that many of the current series lack interest and originality.
Viewers have also classified anime into
different categories , indicating which ones they find
promising, which ones they think will be boring, and which ones they consider
outright trash. Among the most criticized are “ Shikanoko Nokonoko
Koshitantan “, “ Wistoria: Wand and Sword ” and
“ Suicide Squad Isekai “. One user specifically mentioned that
the anime “ 2.5 Dimensional Seduction ” did not meet expectations,
especially in its first episodes.
Furthermore, it was mentioned that animes such as
“ Shoshimin: How to Become Ordinary ” and “ The
Elusive Samurai ” have failed to capture the attention of the
audience. One user stated that he expected “Shoshimin: How to Become
Ordinary” to be similar to “Hyouka ,” but that expectation now seems
unlikely to be met due to the difference in production studios.
“Shoshimin: How to Become Ordinary”
received some criticism for its narrative style ,
while others commented that “The Elusive Samurai” series could be interesting
if it maintains the quality of its animation in battle scenes. However, doubt
about whether this will be possible persists among Internet users.
Finally, some users have chosen to wait with more
interest for the new release of “Code Geass: Rozé of the Recapture” on
Disney Plus , considering that the rest of the anime season has been
disappointing. One viewer expressed his disappointment with the anime
“Shikanoko Nokonoko Koshitantan,” saying that it is so bad that he would rather
not watch anything than that .
In summary, the summer 2024 season has been met with
widespread criticism from Japanese netizens, who have labeled the season a
“failure” due to the lack of anime that truly captures their interest and
emotion. The expectation now falls on the premieres that are still to come,
in the hope that they can redeem this disappointing season .
