Anime and Manga Blog Posts That Caught My Eye This Week (January 13, 2023)

With all the new series premiering for the Winter 2023 anime season over this past week, anibloggers have been posting on overdrive… and you can tell just how busy it’s been by the length of this week’s list. I’ve really been kept on my toes trying to keep up! Oh, and I can’t forget that there was still even some talk about a show from the Fall 2022 season (I’m looking at you, Chainsaw Man). Hopefully next week’s list will be noticeably shorter.
