I'll be watching Jujutsu Kaisen, Bleach, Rurouni Kenshin (if it even comes to the US) and Ryza no Atelier weekly. Also One Piece, the one long runner I'm up to date with.

Baki, Kengan Ashura and Bastard on Netflix whenever I have time after their large season dumps.

Summer and Fall look busy to me.

No one picked the shows I plan on seeing.

More sequels to follow than I'd typically have- Mushoku Tensei, JJK, Mononogatari (which is going to get ignored again- tragic.) Maybe a rom-com too. Will have to see how things turn out.

Due to my very varied tastes every season is a huge load of anime I want to watch. As things stand now I am at 28 or so anime this season, something like that. As for what I want to see most of all those, probably undead girl murder farce, bleach, isekai vending machine, Zom 100 and Horimiya.

I might also try to start one piece, but the sheer numbers of episodes usually makes me not actually start.

I'm watching Dark Gathering, Zom100, Undead Murder Farce, Helck and some of the second cours for the winter anime. Also continuing with Pokémon Horizons.

I guess I'm looking forward to Zom 100 the most, the PV was the most entertaining one. Outside of that this is gonna be my first forray into watching Gohands' unique brand of animation with both their anime, so here's to hoping I won't get burned

I won't lie and say that I'm not just a teensy bit worried about whether the new director, Shōta Goshozono, will be able to carry on the excellent standards set by his predecessor, Sunghoo Park.


Honestly, if anything, I'm expecting Goshozono's take on the series to be far better in all fronts. Park is obviously incredible at making amazing close-combat setpieces, not to mention him providing so much key animation himself for the series was a blessing, but everything else? He's pretty mediocre as a director. Season 1 had plenty of amazing action, but it also had equally plenty of visual mishaps, mainly in regards to the art direction and god-awful compositing in a lot of scenes, specially ones that took place in forests. With Goshozono taking over - and some other changes in staff -, I'm expecting S2 to be way more aesthetically pleasing and well-put together overall. Plus with all the hype about Shibuya, my excitement levels are definetily high.

Anyway, as far as new series go, I'm looking foward to Zom100 and Undead Girl. Zom100 looks really fun, and Bugfilms has a lot of great staff despite being relatively new, and I know next next to nothing about Undead Girl, but Hatakeyama handling it definetily gives me incentive to watch it. Also, the opening for it was already released on Fuji TV's channel and it bangs.

Even though it's just one episode, I'm really looking forward to the Fate/strange fake special. I hope it gets a full adaptation soon. Aside from that: Bungou dogs S5, Helck, Zom 100 and Jjk s2.

Nothing for me this season.

MAYBE Helck, but I don't think its humor will translate well to anime.

I would be interested in Bleach if it was an 100% 1-1 adaptation because watching that trainwreck of a plot unfold again would be glorious, but I am quite sure they are gonna tweak it enough for it to be watchable.

So, it's just gonna be a bunch of lookalikes doing poker faces while talking and then one shooting each other, at least it's gonna have backgrounds this time.

Will watch;
Atelier Ryza
Mushoku Tensei
Dark Gathering

Maybe;
The Devil Is a Part-Timer!! (did watch the original series, but dropped the last one. I've read the novels so might catch up, but the production quality isn't exactly inspiring...)
Rurouni Kenshin (never watched the original so will try this one. Last classic remake I tried, Urusei Yatsura(watched original), I dropped halfway...)
Helck (have been reading the sequel, Völundio ~Divergent Sword Saga~, but truthfully, I'm doubtful. Should try the manga too..)
The Girl I Like Forgot Her Glasses (source manga is a favorite of mine, just worried how GoHands will butcher it, unless the CG does it in before that...)
My Tiny Senpai (source is a very funny office romcom)
TenPuru (fan of the source manga)
Saint Cecilia and Pastor Lawrence (source manga is a soothing comedy, verdict comes down to the adaptation)

Isekais I will at least try to see if some stick;
Reborn as a Vending Machine (manga is fun, haven't read the novels. Novel was also canceled)
The Great Cleric (doubtful, don't know about the novel, but source manga is a bit boring...)
Am I Actually the Strongest? (source is run-of-the-mill isekai, but could be a fun timewaster)
My Unique Skill Makes Me OP Even at Level 1 (don't think so, manga was absolutely barebones artwise, and unfortunately anime seems to follow suit for some reason...)

So whats going on with jjk and prequel? It's just really weird that after a prequel film you get a prequel S2, like they just ran out of idea almost right out the gate. It's a shonen, "some guy that stronger than the last guy show up" on a loop isn't hard.

Soooooooo we're getting another show about a salary man being in love with a chibi coworker (*cough*lolicon*cough*)? Isn't that like the third one? Is anime really that out of idea?

Reincarnated as a vending machine obviously would make an awesome isekai parody... which is why its going to play straight, we can't have things. Is it going to go the slime anime route and just straight up have him just turn into a regular human almost right away?

Liar Liar is giving off strong "please just think of no game no life" vibe

Yeah slime picking this summer...

Maybe zom 100, but having a main character actually be happy about the zombie apocalypse, and millions if not billions of people dying, because he's too spineless to just quit his job is not a good starting point.

Dark gathering seem to have some good visual if nothing else.

Murderface (I know the official name is murder farce but that must be a mistake) could be fun, dunno how episodic it'll be.

"A show about a giant cat, sound fun. Oh it's by GOHAND studio..."

level 1 maou, maybe. Simple enough premise leaving the door open to anything.

Probably JJK. The rest is meh for me.

The Devil is a Part-timer was quite a dissapointment.
