The AniFem Guide to Shojosei Series Coming Out in Winter 2026 We're trying something new! Before premieres start in earnest, we have a mini-primer on all the joseimuke titles coming out next season www.animefeminist.com/the-anifem-g...

I really gotta get back to moving through Gundam and Precure, but my “current” shows backlog is back to April 2024 so uh… those

Not sure of specific titles, but I do want to do less re-watching of old, comfortable favorites and expand my horizons like I did in the old days.

Try to finish a few of these otome anime/shoujo anime series I have rotating on my screenshot bot but uh..never have watched. Like B-Project, I-Chu, Koi to Producer, etc.

Descending Stories is probably the biggest one. Apart from that gonna tee up some Shoujo to fill in the glaring gaps in my knowledge.

At bare minimum finish Maison Ikkoku and crack into at least one longer show.

Finish the OG Cutie Honey and Flash, plus finish InuYasha. Catch up on PreCure and if DigimonTamers comes out on bluray, finally watch it.

Weekly Round-Up, 10-23 December 2025: AI in Gaming, Yona of the Dawn Season 2, and Industry Interviews www.animefeminist.com/weekly-round...

finally watch all of Macross, including rewatching the OG series.

I loved getting to gush on this pod about how Ai Yazawa’s use of character design and naturalistic dialogue conveys so much about the construction of femininity and masculinity. She is truly one of the greats

How Just Like Mona Lisa uses speculative fiction to explore gender norms The melodramatic coming-of-age story sometimes falls into fraught tropes about genderqueer people but also raises pointed commentary on the real world’s many gender paradoxes. www.animefeminist.com/how-just-lik...

Girls Band Cry, ChaO, Angel's Egg, WataNare, Chainsaw Man, 100 Meters, The Last Blossom

DanDaDan, Demon Slayer, Chainsaw Man, and Jujutsu Kaisen. I'll be going to see All You Need Is Kill next month if its playing near me.

Thank you so much for being patient with the end of year reruns, AniFam. We're polishing multiple things up for the new year but it's left us with a bit of gap at present.

If there’s a standard release, I go for the cheaper option. I don’t really care for the physical extras and shelf space is valuable. 🥲

Occasionally, but not often. There were three series I had to have the limited editions for. One was Viz's first release of the original Sailor Moon anime. Not only was it the first time Stars had been released in English, but by that point, I had bought the other seasons at least twice before

I own some older fancy boxed sets, like My-HiME (it has a neat character-lineup box art) but I don't know if that one was truly limited or not. At this point it'd take something extraordinary to make me buy a limited edition physical release nowadays.

I'm not gonna say I *never* do, but oversized LE packaging that doesn't fit on the same shelf as my 600 other Blu-rays is really annoying, and as physical media goes increasingly niche/boutique you see too many cases where the LE is the only release or a standard release comes months later.

The collectors edition of critically considered Steel Box of Interspecies Reviewers available for the price of $69.69

A tie between: 1. The Princess Jellyfish cast 2. The Princess Tutu cast 3. The Sgt. Frog cast

Miss Hana in the Tokyo Godfathers dub, she carries that movie so well

Justin Cook's work on Yu Yu Hakusho has always been a highlight to me in terms of great dubs but only now did I learn that he was ADR Director on the show as well the main character and was only 19 when he started. Generational talent.

“watermelon, or like a panda with a mean face, or like sandals with pressure points drawn on them, or the smell of a blackboard eraser, or a Sunday morning when you wake up and it’s raining -- well, i like him more than hard bread”

The Space Dandy English dub is very very very good

If "oldest" is the age of the release, AIR TV; if "oldest" is the age of the anime itself, Creamy Mami. Bonus points for the Honneamise release of Gunbuster, even if the show got licence rescued and rereleased later.

I have a DVD copy of They Were Eleven that I got from Rightstuff many years ago after reading the Buried Treasure column on @animenewsnetwork.com. Loved the premise and the commentary on gender. Definitely due for a rewatch. Hopefully it gets an HD re-release or a remake with lavish visuals someday.
