Summer 2023 Anime Wrap-up

Original post:

So honestly, this wasn't an especially good season. I'm not watching most of the popular things that got sequels, so all I had as an anchor was Mushoku Tensei. Thankfully the trio of Undead Girl Murder Farce, My Blissful Marriage, and Zom 100 were able to carry the season through to something resembling a soft landing.

New Stuff:

Higeki no Genkyou to Naru Saikyou Gedou Last Boss Joou wa Tami no Tame ni Tsukushimasu. (The Most Heretical Last Boss Queen: From Villainess to Savior) - The main character getting everyone to swear to kill her if she turns evil would be a lot more understandable if it seemed like she was actually in any danger of turning evil. Overall a pretty straightforward implementation of the Villainess setup, mostly interesting for not really being a romance at all. 6/10

Level 1 dakedo Unique Skill de Saikyou desu (My Unique Skill Makes Me OP Even at Level 1) - By any standard, this is Baby's First Isekai. I mean that nearly literally, it even has a "this time on" each episode. The setting makes no sense until you think about it, at which point it makes even less sense. Somehow it found a way to be another Isekai With Guns and made all the problems worse. Still, I finished it I guess. 6/10

Liar Liar - This was a Making Bullshit Rules Up As We Go Along show, but it had a fun tsundere and a nice aesthetic. The story and production values didn't back this up enough to make it good, as such, but sometimes you just want some delicious garbage, and this had me covered. 6/10

Seija Musou: Salaryman, Isekai de Ikinokoru Tame ni Ayumu Michi (The Great Cleric) - This season's budget isekai: I died working my ass off at an abusive company, so when I reincarnated I decided to... keep working my ass off! Featuring: OK but fuck privatized healthcare though. Not good in absolute terms, but I had a good time anyway. 7/10.

Undead Girl Murder Farce - This was fun! It could have gone several different ways based on the first episode. It turned out to be a crossover fanfic where I Can't Believe It's Not Oshino Meme, a saucy deadpan maid, and a head in a box fight with and/or against the headliner mystery- and supernatural-adjacent popular characters from the Victorian era, plus some mythology of its own. 8/10

Watashi no Shiawase na Kekkon (My Blissful Marriage) - This was a pleasant surprise. At first it seemed like it would be a vapid Cinderella-alike, but it turns out our shoujo love interest has a day job as Roy Mustang. Give it a shot if you don't mind a bit of a slow start. 8/10

Yumemiru Danshi wa Genjitsushugisha (The Dreaming Boy is a Realist) - This got a whole post. Basically a problematic anime with a genuine heart. 6/10 and 9/10 at the same time - call it 7/10.

Sequels:

Mushoku Tensei II: Isekai Ittara Honki Dasu (Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation Season 2) - We're back baby! I appreciated the time skip letting them update Rudeus's character design. I'm really pleased with how this is progressing, and fully understand why it was the progenitor of the modern isekai boom. 9/10

Tonikaku Kawaii: Joshikou-hen (TONIKAWA: Over The Moon For You - High School Days) - Oddly seems like it just stopped in the middle? Maybe they were getting ahead of an arc that's getting a proper cour later. 7/10

Horimiya: Piece - Watching this right after the main Horimiya anime, I enjoyed getting the side stories but also understand why they got cut in the original adaptation. 8/10

Carryovers:

Maou Gakuin no Futekigousha: Shijou Saikyou no Maou no Shiso, Tensei shite Shison-tachi no Gakkou e Kayou II (The Misfit of Demon King Academy Ⅱ) - This made a lot more sense the second time around. It's weirdly fast and suffers from too many characters syndrome, but it's still good fun. 7/10, though barely.

Continuing:

Rurouni Kenshin: Meiji Kenkaku Romantan (2023) - It's Rurouni Kenshin again. Ongoing.

Zom 100: Zombie ni Naru made ni Shitai 100 no Koto (Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead) - Finally, someone making a zombie show got access to colors other than grey, brown, and red. The bright aesthetic and energy reminiscent of No More Heroes made this the best new show of the season. If you have ever had such a terrible job that you wished the world would end instead instead of you having to go to work the next day, this is for you. It's been pushed into the next season for scheduling reasons, but unless it faceplants somehow it's 9/10.

Dropped:

Synduality: Noir - Alas, this lived up (down) to my expectation of being not very good. There's just kinda... not much going on. The action isn't good enough to support the poorly conveyed plot. Dropped at episode 4. 5/10

JItsu wa Ore, Saikyou deshita? (Am I Actually the Strongest?) - It kept almost showing promise but ultimately fizzled out. Not even enough anime tiddy to justify itself. Dropped at episode 7. 5/10

Shiro Seijo to Kuro Bokushi (Saint Cecilia and Pastor Lawrence) - While this was cute and comfy it ended up just being boring. Dropped at episode 8. 6/10

AI no Idenshi (The Gene of AI) - I thought I was going to watch this after the first episode and then I just... didn't. Dropped at episode 1, no rating.

Helck - The would-be shonen of the season turned out to be a big meh. I was struggling to keep engaged with it, and when it made the most obnoxious and anti-useful character the team mascot I had to eject. Dropped at episode 8. 6/10

Mega’s Top 2020 Anime

The year 2020 is finally coming to an end. It’s been an unusual year to say the least. Coronavirus more or less almost cancelled the entire spring anime season, which lead to a strange anime schedule for the rest of the year since delays have trickle down effects to what was in the pipeline. To be completely honest, this was not a good year for anime. I watched only a handful of very good shows, and the rest were mediocre at best. The top 5 shows I talk about here are definitely worth watching at least.

So with the introduction out of the way, lets get into this. As usual this list is just my opinions. Don’t take it too seriously.

1) Kaguya-sama Love is War? (Season 2)

The second season of Kaguya-sama took everything from season 1 and brought it up a level. The visual gags became more impressive, the voice acting was just as good, and the show is delivering sharper writing as we get deeper into the manga. 

Season 2 added two new notable aspects to the show. First, a new member to the main cast by the name of Iino. She adds a new angle to exploit for the skits as someone who adheres strictly to the rules. This often means Iino and Kaguya frequently bump heads. In fact how they interpret a situation can be entirely different, which creates numerous misunderstandings between them. Second, Kaguya-sama began expanding the skits into long form stories. There were a series of skits that form an arc spanning an entire episode, or in some cases multiple episodes. Episode 11 was the highlight of the season where Ishigami confronted his past to overcome the bad stigma surrounding his character. Additionally, the story added depth to his connection with Shirogane while making us realize there was more to Ishigami than meets the eye. Kaguya and Shirogane also both became a little closer as the tangled web of their schemes yielded unexpected results at times.

Kaguya-Sama has an ova and season 3 planned. I eagerly look forward to seeing what new crazy situations the characters find themselves in. 

2) A Certain Scientific Railgun T (Season 3)

After waiting 6 years since the conclusion of season 2, the Railgun anime finally returned to adapt two more arcs from the manga. 

The first half was a Railgun version of the Daissheisai Festival arc. This version focuses on a completely different event in the arc with a story involving Misaki, Misaka, and Dolly. It pulls us deeper into the story threads established in the Level Upper and Sisters arc of what the scientists were doing out of the public eye. We meet the original Misaka clone and how Misaki came to meet her which adds a new layer to the current Misaka and Misaki relationship that we never knew. We see how Misaki is also a victim of the dark experiments occurring behind the scenes in Academy City. The experiment to turn Misaka into a level 6 was a very hype moment. Railgun’s Daissheisai Festival arc definiely hit all the right notes.

The second half of Railgun season 3 was the Dream Ranker arc. Like in previous seasons, I found the 2nd cour arc to be weaker than the first half. Indian Poker is a fun concept, but didn’t cleanly tie into the overall story. I also found it weird how special cards that can exchange dreams suddenly exist out of nowhere. Additionally, this arc brought it characters from the Accelerator spin-off which I wasn’t familiar with. It had a few cool and funny moments scattered throughout. The final fight at least brought the conflict to a satisfying conclusion. The only thing holding back Railgun for me like always is my lack of knowledge of the greater Raildex universe. Hopefully this won’t be the last we see of Railgun in animated form because I picked up the manga and the next arc is pretty neat.

3) The Journey of Elaina

The Journey of Elania is an anthology-centric anime where we follow Elania on her adventures. The first episode is a prologue to how she became a witch and the origins of her ambitions. Episode 2-onwards follow a fairly straightforward template of Elania arriving at a new location. She notices something isn’t quite right or learns about something from a local. As the story unfolds, Elania often takes a backseat role and opts to watch things playout. An anime of this style always brings a mixed bag to the table with the kind of stories that are told within the universe. Each episode/adventure is only loosely connected through the main character Elania traveling to a new location, but otherwise they are mostly independent besides a handful of recurring characters. 

Naturally this format means there are both great and not so good episodes. There are bitter sweet tales, comedic, and even a few darker entries mixed within this show. In particular, there were a few standout episodes that cemented this show as something worth watching. Episode 7 was a comedy episode split into two halves. One half showed how two towns divided by a wall were ironically doing the same thing to the wall on each side. The second half recalled how Elania accidentally started a grape stomping tradition in a tiny village. Then there was episode 9, the darkest entry of the show so far, when Elania went back in time to help someone save their childhood friend. However, this person came to realize she hardly knew what her childhood friend was really like. Lastly, the last episode was unexpectedly deep where Elania met various alternate versions of herself and had to confront a dark version spawn from the events in episode 8. It showed how her journey can take all sorts of directions if events had transpired even a little differently.  

A high part of the appeal to me was never knowing what kind of story we would get each week. Was it going to be light-hearted? Serious? Would it focus on Elania or not? Her adventures were certainly full of unexpected happenings. The light novels are 17 volumes in and still going. I wouldn’t mind seeing more if they ever wanted to make another season.

4) Tonikaku Kawaii

From the prolific author Kenjiro Hata comes an anime adaptation of his newest work under the “Crunchyroll Originals” label. The story is simply about a guy who is head over heels for his new wife and can’t get over how awesome it is living with her. Tonikaku Kawaii is a simple show that chooses to highlight the little moments between our main couple Nasa and Tsukasa. We go through all sorts of everyday events with them such as the act of buying a ring, a new television, bedding, and meeting each other’s family. All the characters are so earnest you can’t help but enjoy their silly banter. There is little to no drama here to drive the story forward. You just get to enjoy a newlywed couple discovering new things about each other as they go through everyday life.

However, at the end of the day Tonikaku Kawaii is far from complete and is honestly the type of show that likely wouldn’t make my list most years. It hardly scratched its overarching story during the 1 cour run. The thing that put it over the top for me was simply how likable each of its characters were. They all present their emotions like an open book and you come to enjoy the little quirks of each one. I was slightly confused at how this show became a “Crunchyroll Original” when anything by Hata would have probably gotten an anime sooner or later. There are plenty of other Weekly Shonen Sunday series that could really use an outside force to help them get animated. I can only hope it did well enough for Crunchyroll to consider investing into more from the magazine .

 5) Ahiru no Sora

As usual, my list usually contains at least 1 show that began in the previous year. Ahiru no Sora is an anime that not a lot of people watched, but became one of my favorites each week. This is a 4 cour basketball series about a main character named Sora who is too short for basketball. Despite this set-back, he has a deep passion for the game imparted from his mother and wishes to someday find the same success as she did at the sport. The story begins when he enrolls in a new school and has to build the basketball club from scratch. However, the catch is the basketball team is basically non-existent. He ends up creating a team from a group of unlikely people: the ones who were bullying him. Ahiru no Sora presents a down to earth human side to the sport. There are no fantasy or supernatural elements found in this story. It follows a group of rough around the edges guys whose lives gets back in order through playing basketball together.

All of the main characters go through a decent amount of growth as their personal stories are explored, and Sora especially is taken through a series of events that allow his character to grow more than anyone. I was pleasantly surprised at how emotional it got at times. There was some real heart put into this series. In the middle of the show it genuinely felt the team had hit rock bottom. They lost a major game, the club room was lit on fire, and Sora lost his mother all right in a row. It was the recovery from that period and how each member matured from their experiences that solidified Ahiru no Sora as one of the top shows this year. The only thing holding back the show is that it's left incomplete since the manga is on-going (and actually on hiatus at the moment). I hope there will be an opportunity down the road to have more episodes.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Disappointments of 2020

1) Deca Dence

I enjoyed Death Parade, Mob Psycho 100, and Detective Conan: Zero the Enforcer was pretty good too. So I figured another original anime from Tachikawa Yuzuru would be something I would like, and yet Deca Dence barely resonated with me. I could never wrap my mind around the setting of the show where robots would enter an alternate world called “Deca Dence” for sport or how these robots had a human persona in the game. The humans were effectively NPCs in the game to the eyes of the robots. The show no doubt had a story it wanted to tell, and it certainly went through the plot beats it wanted to hit, yet I could never get invested in the show. I’m still looking forward to whatever Tachikawa Yuzuru does next. I’ll just consider this as something was not for me.

2) The Day I Became God

This show marks Jun Meada’s 3rd anime original project with P.A. Works. I understand that Angel Beats and Charlotte are flawed shows, but that did not stop them from being enjoyable for me. This unfortunately did not apply to The Day I Became God. At a base level it has many of the usual troupes you would expect from a Jun Meada title: the humor, baseball, an emotionally driven story. The place where this shows failed hard was having no backbone to back up the story it was trying to present. I enjoyed the comedy in the early episodes quite a bit and was somewhat intrigued by a subplot in the background that was slowly creeping up on the main plot. Ending each episode on a countdown to the end of the world helped to keep a looming sense of unease during the early part of the show.

Then in typical Jun Meada fashion, the plot of the show hit all at once. Episode 9 was the big climax where the subplot and main plot collided to send the show into its “true” storyline. The hacker kid who uncovered everything about Hina in the early part was poorly utilized and underdeveloped. So when he joins our main group in episode 10 for a short period of time, his presence makes very little sense. I can only describe that part as a 10 hour VN plot condensed into 10 minutes. The male lead Narukami has almost no personal stake in the story. Hina is hilarious in the comedy episodes, but lacks any sufficient character arc built up to carry her into the final section. Jun Meada is trying to sell this as a love story between Narukami and Hina, but I just don’t see it. Narukami spent at least half the summer trying to wow his childhood friend only to suddenly change at the last minute. It felt so haphazardly put together.

The Day I Became God is an extremely bare bones Jun Meada story. It goes through the motions of similar elements to his previous works, but comes out feeling emotionally hollow. While Angel Beats and Charlotte also felt rushed in the grand scheme, I can at least say he got the emotional aspect right. This will be remembered as one of, if not Jun Meada’s weakest title.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Top OPs/EDs of the Year

1) Jujutsu Kaisen Opening 1 - The song is great, but it’s the visuals that really sell this opening. Each shot is brilliantly connected to showcase how everything in the world of Jujutsu Kaisen is layered. There is far more than what meets in the eye in our surroundings. Curses and humans co-mingle more than you might think.

2) A Certain Scientific Railgun T Opening 1 - There still hasn’t been a bad Railgun opening yet. Flipside once again delivers a song that once again never failed gets me in the mood for the episode each week. The visuals highlight some of the best action moments in the arc too.

3) Black Clover Opening 10 - Unlike the other songs on the list this year, this a slower somber song. It always makes me think of Nero’s backstory and how the story was leading up to the fight versus the devil. The black and white aesthetic with rain conveys how everything is laid bare for this major story climax.

4) Kaguya-Sama Love is War? Opening - Just like how this season is more character focused, the opening animation is basically a 90 second skit. It never fails to get to get me in the mindset for the hijinks that are ahead in the episode. The song itself is also a great follow up to the previous opening.

5) Rent-a-Girlfriend Opening - It’s a colorful opening that highlights the best aspects of each character. It completely conveys what the show is about with some nice music. I love how fun and upbeat this opening is. It definitely helped to set the tone for the episodes each week.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

....and so, that brings 2020 to a close. The North American anime scene is shifting once again with Sony buying out Crunchyroll. Hopefully the result of the merger keeps Crunchyroll as an entity alive. I’ll be curious to see how everything shakes out. In the coming year I am most looking forward to Chainsaw Man’s anime. The manga is quite an experience and anime viewers will be spinning their heads over learning how such a series was published in Weekly Shonen Jump. I think it has a good chance of being one of the most talked about shows in the new year.

Lets hope 2021 is a good one.

Rankings of Fall 2020!

1st Akudama Drive

The opening and endings were on point for a 12 episode series. I loved the action and intensity of the music. 

The animation and artwork was amazing!! I loved the neon lighting and how it looks like a utopia but it’s actually a dystopia if you look closer.

Story flow was what made this anime become number 1 on my rankings. It had it all the point into making a great cyber punk criminal anime!! They had it all from the drama to the complexes to the conspiracies.

2nd Majo no Tabitabi

The opening was cute but not something that I would listen to all the time. 

The artwork is beautiful and clean drawn for our entertainment. 

The story flow was nice. I liked that it was made into a couple of short stories for each chapter. Some were nice and some were creepy as well. I honestly liked how the flow was just just smooth.

3rd Adachi to Shimamura

Music was adorable, it really fit well with how the cute their relationship was. It was like listening to music bubbles pop and the tunes would come out.

The art was also very bubbly both literally and metaphorically. It was really foggy cause they were dreaming a lot.

The story flow was interesting. They had their ups and downs I liked how they mostly were thinking a lot throughout the whole series. It really made them want to understand their feelings.

4th

Ikebukuro West Gate Park 

Music was great the punk rock really got me going when I watching the episode. 

The art was pretty average but still clean and precise. 

The story flow was also similar to that of short stories but in arcs. It really reminds me of Durara!! and how everyone is connected in one way or another.

5th

Golden Kamuy 3

Music was great but not as good as the first opening. The way they divided everything in the opening was pretty good, especially since the two characters have been separated.

The art was great as ever. A lot bloodier since they meet so many people trying to kill them.

The story flow is cut into two parts thanks to the main characters being seperated. This meant there was more ground to cover when came to the 2 different parties.

6th

Haikyuu!! TO THE TOP 2

Music was amazing!!!! I love Super Beaver they are my all time favorite Japanese band. 

The art was awesome as well. I love watching their games in full motion it adds more depth to the mangas story.

The story flow was fast paced and brought more flashbacks as to why these characters always loved volleyball and more. 

7th

Enen no Shouboutai: Ni no Shou

Music was great! I loved the second opening! 

The art had more impact thanks to the addition to a new character that can control volcanic rather than just flames. 

The story flow was evenly paced I liked hoe we got more information from this season.

8th

Tonikaku Kawaii

Music was beautiful, the addition of the traditional music and adding a remix to it made it all the more great.

The art was cute, it was as if they were in this adult/chibi form that just worked for this rom-com anime.

The story flow is great. The dialogue has great timing and character were very on point.

9th

Yuukoku no Moriarty

Music was amazing, it had this good flow of being depressing but then becoming hopeful when Moriarty’s minions started showing up in the opening.

The art was amazing. The contrast between colors really made this anime pop.

The story flow creepy and calculative. I liked how he was always one step ahead of everyone.

10th

Taisou Zamurai

Music was great. The liked the ending more because of how they showed the daily life of the one character who crashes at the main characters place. 

The art was wed but also fun. I think they wanted to modernize the artwork of the original 2000 animes but it just didn’t work out for then. 

The story flow slow at first but then gets interesting when you get to know more about the mystery character in this show. I thought it ended rather nicely.

11th

Kami-tachi ni Hirowareta Otoko

Music was ok. 

The artwork was also very beautiful, and just awkward because the slimes in this anime were in 3D.

The story flow very positive, which really contrasted with the main character because of how depressed he was in his old life.

12th

Noblesse

Music was ok

The art was really pretty especially when they showed of their supernatural abilities. 

The story flow was very meh, mostly because not a lot happened to be honest.

13th

Munou na Nana

Music was creepy

Art was very normal

The story flow was honestly not that great.

14th

100-man no Inochi no Ue ni Ore wa Tatteiru

Music was ok.

Art was also ok

The story flow made it interesting since now there is a season 2 on the way.

15th

Iwa Kakeru!: Sport Climbing Girls

Music was ok.

Art was ok

The story flow was great at first but then became a bit repetitive in the end.

Fall 2020 Anime Previews (Unprecedented Times Edition) 

qb here. This is a particularly temporally challenged season, so, unsure when anything is coming out, prone to more delays, follow anything at your own peril. 

TOP QB PICKS

Tokyo Gambo - The second anime from Harajuku Otaku Fashion Store PARK after the best anime ever created URAHARA, so I have pretty high expectations going in. I know next to nothing about it, other than the characters look cute and they claim to be airing it in November. https://www.tokyogambo.com/

Assault Lily: Bouquet - This got delayed from last season, a Shaft magical girl anime based on a series of dolls? Looks like the animation will be unexpectedly good? Wild guess; Funimation will get this? The inundation of Madoka Magica ripoff accusations and comparisons feels inevitable but I will weather them unless the obvious thigh obsession goes too far. 

Higurashi: When They Cry (2020) - Another delayed show, I don't actually know anything about Higurashi so this reboot will be blind for me. It’ll be near impossible to avoid people sharing their opinions on this adaptation, but I haven’t decided if I care enough to do so. People say the staff is crazy though so I'll give it a shot. 

Yashahime - I like an Inuyasha so this sequel could be good. Rin had better have a good explanation for the Sesshoumaru kids. I hope demons can reproduce through budding. Rumiko Takahashi by all accounts, has still got it, so I expect this could be a solid pick. It’s going to be on Crunchyroll.

Tonikaku Kawaii - Cute newlywed manga becomes an anime, from that Hayate the Combat Butler author. I read this for a while and it's a solid wholesome comedy about newlyweds, not much more to say about it, it’s gonna be on Crunchyroll too. 

SUS PICKS, ONLY WATCHING A FEW UNLESS THEY’RE LIKE GOOD OR FUNNY OR SOMETHING

Adachi to Shimamura - This one’s a big unknown, adaptations of this novel series seem very similar so I don’t expect any surprises, but it could ‘wow’ us in other ways. However the studio looks mad sus. High chance of being disappointing so I'll only give it a few episodes

Is the Order A Rabbit? BLOOM (Season 3) - HIDIVE got this one, the previous season reviewed very poorly on Cocoadisaster the podcast, but I still think this show is at least pretty good despite its obvious flaws, and it has been on a trajectory of getting better. The new season is the same director but NOT Kinema Citrus, it’s a studio that only makes Rice Boys and bad isekai, so I’m not optimistic.

Hypnosis Mic: Division Rap Battle - Rhyme Anima - Dumb-looking otome anime of the season, my guilty pleasure, so there’s close to zero chance it'll be good. 

Dragon Quest/Warrior - Toei seems to have gone all out with this series and it looks ridiculously good so I'm expecting it to be somewhat watchable, and get on Crunchyroll because all Toei stuff goes there, may drop it if its too boring so I'll give it like, 3 episodes. My nostalgia for all of the Dragon Warrior Monsters is immense so that may drive me to watch it. 

Seizei Ganbare Mahou Shoujo Kurumi 3 - don’t call it a comeback kurumi's been here for years

D4DJ - Dig Delight Direct Drive DJ: First Mix, High School DJ Girls  - comes out later on October 30th, I’m required to watch all DJ anime in the hopes one lives up to Tonkatsu DJ Agetarou, this one seems like some sort of a multimedia rhythm game with girls? It’s picked up by Sentai who’s throwing it on both Crunchyroll and HIDIVE. I don’t expect it to be good at all. 

LEFTOVERS 

Fire Force Season 2, Healin’ Good PreCure, Kiratto Prichan Season 3 , Mewkledreamy, Gal & Dino (maybe?), Extra Olympia Kyklos

QB HAS TO WATCH ONE EPISODE FOR THE MAGICAL GIRL DEATH PACT

Majo no Tabitabi - This looks inoffensive, has witches, gonna drop it and watch The Owl House instead probably. Man, The Owl House is so good. Hooty hoot hoot hooty hoot hoot hoot 

[kuzuyami]

hi it’s your secret santa anon, i hope you’re having a good week so far! i can’t believe 2020 is almost over, what would you say your top 5 anime you watched this year are?

i know its crazy! what a year... it feels like 3 months but also 5 years?

all in all this years seasonals were pretty lackluster at a brief thought about it. i’m pulling up MAL though lets have a look...

for new anime, my faves were: re zero s2, runway de waratte, jibaku shounen hanako kun, id: invaded, fate babylonia, bnha, kaguya sama, konokari, fugou keiji, BNA, gleipnir...

i watch a TON of anime and i know i watched a crapton of “new to me” anime this year that wasnt necessarily new but MAL doesnt keep track of when I added it *hmpph* I CAN say that i only just this year watched SNK for the first..second and third times so THAT was my big huge fave non 2020 anime I watched this year (like why did i not...? i dont know anyway its been done and done several times), also Golden Kamuy which is on its third season right now. Hmmmm. I’ll wrap it up here, there are some going on that are already worthy of praise like JJK and as always HQ and danmachi is a personal fav but I also think Tonikaku Kawaii has yet to disappoint in its adorableness and the Higurashi remake is holding it’s own! 

What are yours! I totally ignored the 5 thing oops I just started going down MAL and blammo.

Crunchyroll, ecco gli anime in arrivo questo autunno sulla piattaforma

Il catalogo sta per arricchirsi di nuove serie, produzioni originali e ova!

Annunciate da Crunchyroll, fra conferme e novità, le serie tv (e gli OVA) che faranno presto parte del palinsesto simulcast autunnale della piattaforma e che potremo seguire dall’Italia, in streaming con sottotitoli in italiano, in contemporanea con l’uscita in Giappone.

IN ARRIVO

YASHAHIME: PRINCESS HALF DEMON - 3 ottobre

Serie spin-off sequel di “Inuyasha” che riporta sulle tv giapponesi l’affascinante mondo, a cavallo fra due epoche, creato da di Rumiko Takahashi (Ranma ½,  MAO, Lamù, Maison Ikkoku, RINNE), raccontando una nuova storia originale con protagoniste le figlie di Inuyasha e di Sesshomaru.

Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon segue la storia delle figlie di Sesshomaru e Inuyasha mentre intraprendono un viaggio attraverso il tempo. Ambientato nell'epoca feudale giapponese, le gemelle per metà demone, Towa e Setsuna, sono state divise da un incendio nella foresta. Towa, mentre cercava disperatamente la sorella minore, si avventura in un tunnel misterioso che la trasporta nel Giappone contemporaneo dove viene trovata e allevata dal fratello di Kagome Higurashi, Sota, e la sua famiglia. Dieci anni dopo si riapre il tunnel che connette le due ere, permettendo a Towa di riabbracciarsi con Setsuna, ormai una cacciatrice di demoni che lavora per Kohaku. Ma Towa rimane scioccata nello scoprire che Setsuna sembra aver perso ogni ricordo della sua sorella maggiore. Una volta incontrata Moroha, la figlia di Inuyasha e Kagome, le tre giovani ragazze viaggiano attraverso le due ere in un avventura volta a riottenere il passato perduto.

Il progetto è diretto da Teruo Satou (Aikatsu Stars!) presso gli studi Sunrise e vede tornare alla sceneggiatura Katsuyuki Sumisawa, che si era già occupato della scrittura della serie originale e dei film.

Le Maledizioni dilagano in tutto il mondo e sono in grado di condurre la gente verso un fato incredibilmente avverso e persino incontro alla morte. Le Maledizioni possono, inoltre, essere esorcizzate solo da un'altra Maledizione. Itadori Yuji è un ragazzo dall'incredibile possanza fisica, malgrado viva una vita comune da liceale.

Condivide da allora il suo corpo con lo Spettro Bifronte. Sotto la guida del più potente degli stregoni, Gojo Satoru, Itadori è ammesso alla Tokyo Metropolitan Technical High School of Sorcery, un'organizzazione che combatte le Maledizioni… e inizia così il racconto eroico di un ragazzo che diviene una Maledizione per esorcizzare le Maledizioni, vita da cui non potrà mai tornare indietro.
