The phrase "Terror Mushroom" is weird, but it's a major part of Sabikui Bisco. In a world where mushrooms are actually illegal because they are believed to cause a serious illness that kills many people, a doctor named Milo runs into the most wanted man in the area, Bisco Akaboshi. The two end up together on a quest to try to find a legendary mushroom that can create a cure and save people. The journey filled with huge monsters, riding on the back of a giant crab, and a bit of adorable humor along the way that unsurprisingly has become hugely popular with anime fans this season.

The excellent production values of Attack on Titan have captivated fans from the start. However, it's impossible to ignore how the franchise is reaching far to the same level of popularity as the Harry Potter, Twilight, and Hunger Games franchises to try to squeeze out the franchise for every last penny possible. Including the still-heated debate over whether series creator Hajime Isayama wrote a story to support nationalist ideals, and it's hard to recommend the series in full to those who haven't watched all of its previous seasons.
There's still no denying that the premiere of the final season literally crashed Crunchyroll, showing just how popular Attack on Titan has become.

Despite its popularity, the troublesome problems with the film cannot be ignored. There are some rave scenes of high school students animated with such incredible detail that the first episodes of the series went viral online, leaving anime fans everywhere in awe. However, for those who can overcome the strange choices in the anime, a strong story is contained in Akebi's Sailor Uniform.

To be honest, it's a bit surprising that an anime focused on cosplay wasn't popular before. My Dress Up Darling became a huge hit in winter 2022 with the romance between doll maker hina Wakana and cosplay enthusiast Marin warming the hearts of everyone who has ever seen it. The cast and characters of the film can't help but fall in love and see all the amazing costumes that Wakana has created and how happy they make Marin will melt even the ugliest-looking people.

Add to that the fact vampire hunters still exist due to a massive war between them and humans in the past, and it's no surprise that the show has enthralled many.
