Spring has passed and Netflix Summer has arrived. Beyond that, this sure feels like a strange backlog season in the sense maybe some of these shows should have come out half a decade ago and I'm just getting to them now.

Undead Girl Murder Farce
PV

The 19th century — a world inhabited by vampires, golems, werewolves and other paranormal creatures. Immortal beauty and disembodied head Aya Rindo, along with half-human-half-demon "Demon Killer" Tsugaru Shunichi and her loyal maid Shizuku Hasei, travels through Europe as supernatural detective "The Cage User," solving supernatural mysteries while she searches for her lost body.

Fate/strange Fake: Whispers of Dawn
PV

In a Holy Grail War, Mages (Masters) and their Heroic Spirits (Servants) fight for the control of the Holy Grail—an omnipotent wish-granting device said to fulfill any desire. Years have passed since the end of the Fifth Holy Grail War in Japan. Now, signs portend the emergence of a new Holy Grail in the western American city of Snowfield. Sure enough, Masters and Servants begin to gather...

A missing Servant class...
Impossible Servant summonings...
A nation shrouded in secrecy...
And a city created as a battleground.

In the face of such irregularities, the Holy Grail War is twisted and driven into the depth of madness. Let the curtain rise on a masquerade of humans and heroes, made to dance upon the stage of a false Holy Grail. This is a Holy Grail War covered in lies.

Ōoku: The Inner Chambers

In Edo period Japan (1603 to 1868), a strange new disease called the Redface Pox has begun to prey on the country's men. Within eighty years of the first outbreak, the male population has fallen to a quarter of the total female population. Women have taken on all the roles traditionally granted to men, even that of the Shogun. The men, precious providers of life, are carefully protected and the most beautiful of the men are sent to serve in the Shogun's Inner Chambers.

The Masterful Cat is Depressed Again Today
PV

When Saku took in a stray black cat, she never expected that he would become the equivalent of a housekeeping life partner. But Yukichi, a giant cat who towers over Saku, is not your ordinary feline. He takes great pride in his culinary skills, and a good sale at the supermarket always gets his whiskers twitching. Saku may not have her act together yet, but at least she has Yukichi!

Hyakushou Kizoku

"If they have no water, then let them drink milk."

Before becoming a manga author, Hiromu Arakawa was a farmer for seven years in Hokkaido. She raised cows, grew vegetables, feared bears and got jerked around by squirrels! She worked all tear long from morning to night without any breaks - and it was tough! If you read the manga, you'll understand. Farmers are cool!!

Atelier Ryza: Ever Darkness & the Secret Hideout The Animation
PV

The village of Rasenboden lies on Kurken Island, which is surrounded by a lake. Time travels slowly on this island that's on the outskirts of the Roteswasser Kingdom. In this quiet little village with very little excitement lived Ryza, a girl with entirely too much energy for this quiet village, whose main feature was that she's so ordinary that she has no outstanding features.

"Sigh... I wonder if there's anything interesting to do..."

Ryza wasn't satisfied with solely being known as an ordinary farmer's daughter in the uptight, boring little village. So one day, she sneaks onto a boat boat with her childhood friends Lent and Tao, and they have their first adventure to the opposite shore. There, she encounters a man who uses a mysterious power called alchemy. Ryza is completely enchanted by this power and asks him to teach it to her. From an ordinary farmer's daughter to an alchemist... This was something completely new. Their own little single summer adventure is about to begin—

After receiving news of the fall of the castle of Urum before the final, Vermilio sets out to retake Urum Castle with Helck and other finalists. With a smile, Helck says, "Let's destroy humans." Are those words true? The truth behind the smile is…

PV

Surviving a zombie apocalypse beats being a wage slave any day! After spending years slaving away for a soul-crushing company, Akira's life has lost its luster. He lives in a trash-filled apartment, his pay is abysmal, and he can't even muster up the nerve to confess his love to his beautiful co-worker.

Reborn as a Vending Machine, I Now Wander the Dungeon
PV

After dying in a traffic accident, I find myself standing near an unfamiliar lake. My body won't move, I can't hear my voice, and when I try to shout in confusion, words that I never expected come out! "Get one free with a winner." I-it seems I've turned into a vending machine...! I can only do what actual vending machines can. It's impossible to move by myself, and there's no way for me to have any meaningful conversation-how am I going to survive some fantasy world's dungeon like this?!

Among other things airing this season (not see your favorite? let others know why they should be excited!) there's one about a roaming samurai that I left out. I posed the question to the community awhile back about it and didn't get any feedback so figured it'd be just as well to not bring it up at all. Just tossing this out there in case someone actually did though.


~*~*~From the Desk of N-ko~*~*~

It's come to my attention that Netflix Jail is no longer acceptable terminology and henceforth such shows should be referred to as still on N-ko's desk waiting for her approval.

N-ko may not have survived the great NFLX crash of '22 so this may end up a memorial in the future.

Like Lotus said, give F/Z a shot and if you like it, consider what you liked most about it as there's other options after. For instance if you end up really enjoying Rider & Waver...

I wonder if we'd be getting that about now or next season if the special hadn't been pushed back so far.

Also for the first time in forever i'm cutting down my seasonals to single digits! I want to play more games...
Will be watching JJK2, Bocchan S2, Bungo S5, Bleach TYBW Cour 2, and Zom 100. So basically a lot of sequels.
Of course will watch Fate/strange Fake but that's only a special and not a whole show.

P.S thank you for the nice thread, Narag.

Fuck yeah, Strange Fake is awesome, glad it's getting a proper adaption. Though the novels aren't finished yet so I wonder if thaat could be an issue down the line, though I don't think there should be many more judging by where the story is at

Masamune getting another season after all this time feels insane.

The original show didn't even seem popular tbh.

anything even kinda sorta gay this season?

not much is standing out here, except for how weird the vending machine one could get, maybe it'll just be Fairy Apple / Horimiya + catchup season
unless there are some positive impressions here for the other stuff

i dropped off the manga pretty hard but will still check out My Happy Marriage.
Other than seems like slim pickings. Maybe Doga Kobo's show and that Zom one maybe will be worth a watch.

Dark Gathering and Tiny Senpai should be fun.

And finally the next Mushoku Tensei season.

Another season trapped in here with you jokers. at least i can finally watch WfM!

Time to find out what's good

/edit according to what is in the OP nothing looks good. Maybe the milk one (i wonder how silver spoon it is). But the OP is good nonetheless.

Think Zom 100 is the only show this season I'm planning on checking out at the minute. Will hopefully get around to catching up on JJK & Mushoku Tensei so I can binge the new seasons once they finish up.

I know nothing about the actual game series so I am not sure how faithful of a transition is being made here but a decent first outing nonetheless.

As usual, they just don't know how to end a series and plop endless deus ex machina and stuff into a final episode
Really hoped Witch would end up being different

Gundam WfM ending worked well enough for me.
It felt super rushed, and not sure how I feel about (or understand) the "force ghost" scenes? Do these even make sense? It didn't feel earned.
However, I got what I wanted most out of this: a happy ending for the happy lesbians, who are now clearly married! I was stressed they'd not end up together. Overall it was good, I am happy with it.

it landed when Birdie Wing missed, we could've gone two for two with happy lesbian timeskips but they were cowards

Zom 100 looks to be the show the industry has decided gets to be the big one this season. And My Happy Marriage could be something. Guess it's back log time.

I liked it, if the most mad people are that it doesn't have more than what can you do than wait. The biggest fear i had was addressed that concerns the politics.
I would recommend it for people who wanna know what Gundam is about in 25 episodes and have a happy ending and not be depressed.
Also last time i thought Gundam had concluded was the finale of Gundam Unicorn thinking "wow things are finally at peace", lol lmao even considering what's out now. I shouldn't be entertaining people who think it will end with this when Gundam Seed is still going strong with a movie.
