A Silent Voice • Koe no Katachi - Anime of the Week

2026-11-09T16:00:27+00:00

Welcome to the weekly Anime of the Week Discussion Thread! Each week, we're here to discuss various older anime series. Today we are discussing...

A Silent Voice • Koe no Katachi

As a wild youth, elementary school student Shouya Ishida sought to beat boredom in the cruelest ways. When the deaf Shouko Nishimiya transfers into his class, Shouya and the rest of his class thoughtlessly bully her for fun. However, when her mother notifies the school, he is singled out and blamed for everything done to her. With Shouko transferring out of the school, Shouya is left at the mercy of his classmates. He is heartlessly ostracized all throughout elementary and middle school, while teachers turn a blind eye.

Now in his third year of high school, Shouya is still plagued by his wrongdoings as a young boy. Sincerely regretting his past actions, he sets out on a journey of redemption: to meet Shouko once more and make amends.

I started The Ramparts of Ice expecting nothing, and ended up binging the entire first season.

2026-11-09T20:48:25+00:00

Bro, I genuinely did NOT expect this anime to be this good. 😭

I’ve never really been that big on Netflix anime. I’ve watched The Fragrant Flower Blooms with Dignity, a few episodes of Blue Box (couldn’t really get into it), and My Happy Marriage, which I actually enjoyed.

But The Ramparts of Ice??? This one genuinely surprised me.

I flew through season 1. The plot, the characters, the tension, and especially the SLOW BURN ROMANCE. It’s literally everything I’ve been looking for in a romance anime lately.

What I love most is how naturally everything develops. The romance takes its time without making the story feel dragged out, and the characters actually feel like real people with their own problems, friendships, and feelings. Even when nothing major is happening, I’m still invested.

And can we PLEASE talk about Momoka?? I swear, every time that girl showed up on my screen, especially toward the end of season 1, I was getting irritated. I can’t be the only one.

What’s crazy is I literally started this anime just because I needed something to watch. I wasn’t expecting much at all, and somehow it turned into something I looked forward to watching every single day.

Now I’m on season 2, and unfortunately, I actually have to wait for the weekly episodes. Man, I got way too comfortable binge-watching season 1. 😭

Seriously though, if you’re into romance anime and haven’t watched The Ramparts of Ice yet, I HIGHLY recommend it. The romance, friendships, character development, and overall storytelling are genuinely so good.

I'm genuinely glad I discovered this one on Netflix.

For those who’ve watched it, am I overreacting about Momoka, or did she annoy y’all too? And what do you think makes the romance in this anime work so well?

Clevatess renewed my faith in new anime.

2026-11-09T04:34:09+00:00

Let me just start by saying that I am an ‘oldtaku’.
I grew up with the gritty, violent, and beautifully hand drawn anime of the 80s and have consistently struggled to get into anything released past the early 2000s with a few minor exceptions. I often find myself trying newer shows that my friends recommend and find myself becoming uninterested pretty quickly, for lack of original Ideas or not living up to what anime used to offer in the golden age.
Clevatess has scratched that itch like nothing has done is a LONG TIME. Super unique story, really deep world building, and some incredibly unapologetic fight scenes.
The second season started off in a really bizarre Harry Potter toned narrative, but opened up again toward the end with more incredible world building and character development. I can’t wait to season 3.
The main reason I am posting this is in hope of some recommendations of newer anime from anyone who likes Clevatess that knows where I am coming from.
Thanks in advance.

10 Fall Anime I think is being slept on

2026-11-09T18:47:03+00:00

I've watched a lot of new anime this season. There at least a few I believe is being slept on a bit by the larger anime community. Yes, I've watched a few of the popular ones but here's are 10 I've watched enough of that I think are being glossed over:

The Vermillion Mask: I'm surprised how this one doesn't have a dub yet. Because I think it would appeal to the shonen demographic at the least. The main characters are pretty likeable, the villains so far are intimidating, & the story is solid. Coupled with some nice lore & visuals, I think more people should give it a try.
Sgt. Frog: I'm sure some people have heard of this series. I've there was a series way back in 2008. Nevertheless, this was stayed true to spirit of the OG. The voice acting is low-key going pretty hard. A lot of it is funny. And the visuals & production are decent. Watch it if you're longing for more comedy-centric anime.
Suikoden: This one definitely has an audience. For both fans of the game series & fans of war action. Plus, it's pretty nice to look at. Not saying the visuals are superb, but they're above average. Mainly because of the character models. Then voice acting is quite good along with a great soundtrack. Overall, it captures the feel of the OG game.
Full Clearing Another World Under a Goddess with Zero Believers: I think this one got really undersold when it released. The start is actually gripping with how likeable most the characters are. And its production values are above the typical isekai. The CGI-use is notable though. Either way, most of the world-building is gripping & the MC leans into the relatable side. It's a good watch.
The Cold Sato-san is Only Sweet to Me: I was shocked with how entertaining this one was. The two MCs are adorable & the side cast is likeable. The visuals are standard but occasionally rise above that. Plus, legit a laugh-worthy moments. The voicework is also hilarious at times. Great for any romcom fans.
Magic Repo Man: The story doesn't start the best, but it gets more interesting as it goes. The main character is someone to root for. And his fairy sidekick is enduring. The supporting cast is also very likeable. While the antagonist gets theirs quickly but satisfyingly. It borrows a bit from the typical Banished Hero genre, but there's something to be found, nonetheless. The production values aren't too great but serviceable. And the world-building & soundtrack is solid. Give it a try.
A Tales of the Secret Saint: Not my favorite, but a good watch. The two protagonists have a gripping friendship. The voicework has some notable power behind it. A few of the creature designs catch the eyes. And the visuals are solid for a series like this. Plus, there's some interesting lore behind the story. Watch if you're interested.
Super Psychic Policeman Chojo: I recommend this one for those who already know what they're getting into. The comedy can be subjective, but I found a lot of it entertaining. The series has a lot of that chaotic energy from most series of its ilk. The voice acting is well above average & the visuals capture its manga origin. And the main character is the funny kind of man-child. Plus, the opening is low-key great. Another watch for comedy seekers.
Romelia War Chronicle: The lack of a dub is one of the reasons why I feel this is getting slept on. Otherwise, it's a great watch. Nice visuals, likeable main cast, solid soundtrack, & gripping world-building. It's got a real Berserk vibe going on with it. I recommend for any fantasy lovers out there.
From Far Away: Another 90s isekai classic that's only now getting an anime adaption. That's beside the point; it's a fine watch. The two MCs are enduring along with an interesting pull to it. The visuals aren't the best I noticed it's trying way harder than most in that area. The world itself also feels alive. Like you get to know it little more than the typical. Along with some solid storyboarding & action. A great watch if you like the classics.

This is my last original "Slept On" list for 2026. I must say it's been a year for anime. I've watched 100 new 2026 anime this year. There has honestly been a lot that's been slept on this year. Be because weren't advertised properly. People wrote them for at first glance. They lacked an English dub. Or Crunchyroll not marketing some of them beyond a single trailer. Either way, what anime for this season comes to mind when you're thinking about this topic?

Why Do People Find It So Hard To Believe And Accept That The Demons In Frieren Are Actually Pure Evil And Irredeemable?

2026-11-08T15:26:45+00:00

Been seeing alot of discussion on this online. Its like people cant comprehend or understand that the Demons could actually be evil and irredeemable. Despite Frierens thoushands of years of experience.

Have people grown too used to every villain having a sad backstory and redemption arc? Is it because its applied to an entire race instead of an individual so people get wierd about it? Or is it because its difficult to comprehend a species that looks and acts human, but is anything but human?

Theme questions

What is the significance of ordinary, seemingly insignificant mysteries in Monogatari?
Why does Monogatari devote so much attention to problems that appear trivial?
Is Yotsugi's emotionless demeanor genuine, or partly an act?

What is Tadatsuru's role in this arc?

Preliminary discussion question for this week's arc

Add the arcs to the rating!

I'd like you all to try to create a ranking of your top 5 arcs of the series while watching. For rewatchers, don't let a previous watching experience influence your opinion, form this ranking throughout the rewatch! I will ask for an update a few times throughout this rewatch and I am interested to see your ranking.

Have fun!

Looking for something to watch

2026-11-09T19:39:42+00:00

I love an anime that isn’t all fighting and has some depth. Some good conversations too. Preferably something with a clever protagonist too? Classroom of the elite, Love is war, Kakegurui and Tomodachi game were good ones. I really liked steins gate, demons slayer, assassination classroom, hxh… recommendations appreciated
