Summer season is rapidly approaching! It's time to start looking ahead to the next season and thinking about what is worth watching vs. what isn't. This is also the official thread where I will watch for shows that you mention and will enable threads for those shows to be made by our resident bot, @rikka@ani.social.

Please feel free to use this thread as a normal weekly discussion thread as well! Anything that would normally be in the weekly discussion thread any other week is welcome here.

Summer season is deadly for me. In the last couple of years I have only time and drive to finish a hand full of shows each season and this time around there are way to many for me that I consider "must watch" (Grand Blue, City, My Dress Up Darling, DanDanDan, Boxxo, Call of the Night 2). Then there are a bunch that I read the source material of and want to see how it gets adapted (Water Magician, Silent Witch, Apocalypse Bringer, ). And then there are the shows that just seem to be made for me going by the synopsis (Solo Camping, Ruri Rocks, Food Court, With You and the Rain, Outcast Restaurant, Fragrant Flower). It's going to seriously eat into my other activities. It's a first world problem, but a problem nonetheless.

If it's any comfort to you I picked up the Futari Solo Camp manga for similar reasons and after not even being able to finish the first chapter I can say with some confidence you can skip this one.

Spoilers for the first 3/4 of the first chapter of Futari Solo CampThe two main characters meet when she's having trouble with her first camping trip so she tells him he has to help her out or she'll go to the cops and accuse him of sexual assault. I was not impressed.

Edit: I just realized we already had this conversation 6 months ago. Whoops!

Oh, yeah. I remember now. Well, I give it at least one episode and see what impression that scene makes to me and how much I like the rest around it.
