On Japanese forums and social media, fans are concerned about the lack of anime in the summer 2024 season, which runs from July to September of this year. Aside from the highly anticipated second season of " Oshi no Ko ," the releases don't seem to be encouraging them.
- Rumor indicates that the 2nd season of 'Tower of God' will be divided into 2 arcs
- BL Anime “Twilight Out of Focus” Gets New Trailer
One of the main reasons fans have this negative impression is the mass production of anime . Each season, studios release numerous series, ultimately saturating the market. This may seem like a good thing, but many fans feel that the quality of the stories and originality are declining.
Another problem is the repetition of certain themes, which has made new productions monotonous. However, genres like isekai (stories of characters transported to other worlds), romantic comedies, and various shonen (series for young male audiences) plots repeat themselves every season . Fans comment that many of these series follow old formulas, without bringing anything new.
Therefore, the lack of interesting releases is also a challenge for the anime industry. While innovating and diversifying stories is crucial to maintaining audience interest and ensuring the future of anime, discussions among fans can be a wake-up call for creators and producers, encouraging them to explore new ideas and move away from repetitive formulas.
Comments on summer 2024 anime:
- “As always, Kinnikuman resurfaces to save a new season.”
- “Too many isekai stories spawned from Shousetsuka ni Narou for the next season.”
- “I'm really excited about the premiere of Kijin Gentoushou.”
- “I think The Café Terrace and Its Goddesses are also worth it.”
- "What about Tensui no Sakuna-hime? I haven't played the video game yet, though."
- “I thought NieR: Automata would be promising.”
- “I think this arc of Oshi no Ko is also disappointing, they forget a lot of the main plot.”
- “Wasn’t there a Suicide Squad anime for next season?”
Fans continued to comment on:
- “I think Fairy Tail's return is getting some fans excited.”
- “I'm sure Oshi no Ko will once again be the highlight of the season.”
- “I'm really tired of isekai stories, they really tire me out.”
- “There are also a lot of moe anime, but I might give some of them a try.”
- “There’s no way around it, there are many series that were disappointing in their first seasons and that come back in the next one.”
- “And I think they’re going to show another series based on a South Korean story, how boring.”
- “And I thought Nige Jouzu no Wakagimi was popular, now I understand that it is not so.”
- “There's nothing else to do but keep watching Spice and Wolf and The Fable.”
- "I think there will be an interesting original anime from PAWORKS, and I won't have time to watch other isekai stuff."
- "Doesn't this VTuber anime sound interesting to you? I thought I'd watch it because Yuu Kobayashi-san will be playing a character."
