Winter 2023 Coverage & First Episode Awards

Lenlo:  Sniff Ahh, do you smell that? The smell of a new year, with new anime. Not all of them are great. In fact most of them suck! But there are a few standouts even in this generally light season, and a few with the potential to be something special. Down below you’ll find our usual seasonal trophies, voted on by all of us here, as well as our coverage list for the season! Well I say “Our” coverage list, it’s really just me since Amun hasn’t decided what they want to watch yet. Keep a lookout for their post though, as they mentioned doing a poll with a bit of a rant attached! As for myself? Well I need to get to filling out my Anime of the Year ballot, as well as writing up Michiko & Hatchin and Kaina. Busy busy.
