The tag is technically wrong, because I've given up on all pretense of keeping up with seasonal anime, but this is my journal and I do what I want.
Oshi no Ko Season 2: Oshi no Ko continues to be good. Less Ai this season than I would have liked, but this season really made me fall in love with Akane- I love the whole part of her personality where she's so into being a devoted GF for Aqua that she's like "Hey, I'll totally kill for you. This is a normal thing to offer your boyfriend of half a year." Also adore that unlike many Ideal Anime Wifegirls she has interests and a personality beyond just obsessing over Aqua- she's devoted to acting and has her own backstory about wanting to be better than Kana, giving them a reason to have a rivalry for reasons beyond "they like the same guy". Also she's just insufferably cute and I want a dumb little plushie of her so I can kiss it on the forehead. Also she gets points for being just very smart. Akane best girl I was horribly convinced that Aqua was going to pick Kana but NO he actually made the correct choice please don't ruin it for me manga readers by saying that he picks Kana in the end. Let me have this one thing. FINISHED.
Blue Lock Season 2: Blue Lock also continues to be good. Genuinely love the plot twist of Ego having to change his entire plans because his sponsors are cutting off his money stream and he keeps getting calls from parents. He's such a delightfully weird character. *shaking the newbies* WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU WHY ARE YOU LIKE THIS WHAT CAN YOU DO. I love how the mangaka designs characters- you can't tell just from looking at the designs who's going to be a major character and who's not. ONGOING, GOING TO KEEP WATCHING.
