Been busy enough trying to finish up Winter season titles that I haven't paid a lot of attention to the upcoming season. However, I'm definitely looking forward to more Konosuba and Mushoku Tensei (especially interested to see where the latter goes next). I'm also definitely anticipating the new Spice and Wolf, albeit with some trepidation; it has a high bar to meet with comparisons to the (very strong) original being inevitable.

Of new series, Go, Go, Loser Ranger is definitely on my radar since I've long been a fan of sentai team deconstructions. I'm also at least a bit intrigued by the concepts for both Salad Bowl of Eccentrics and Unnamed Memory. But, as always, I also look forward to what titles aren't on my radar now but will be after everything debuts.

There are a lot of sequels, mostly for things I've fallen off on-but fans will appreciate. For now, I'm most looking forward to Spice & Wolf and Kaiju No.8.

I have a giant list of shows I'm looking forward to but the absolute winner in my heart is Black Butler. It's my favorite manga, no contest. If the rumors are true and they announce it's split cour and we're getting "Black Butler: Emerald Witch Arc", i will be bawling my eyes out on social media with every single episode

Not gonna lie... I'm pretty pumped for this season. Konosuba and Laidback sequels in the same season??? Squee! Plus a lot of promising new titles. Very happy.

Aside from all the sequels to stuff I watched my only pickups from the start this season are Viral Hit, Grandpa and Grandma Turn Young Again, and Tonari no Youkai-san. Out of those, I guess the highest expectations are on Viral Hit delivering on being a funny fighting series where the protagonist just learns how to get beat up in the most entertaining way possible, while the latter two are a lot more laidback. Loser Ranger is on my 'might watch if I drop something' list, as is Yozakura Family from the ones mentioned in the article

My most anticipated is definitely Himitsu no AiPri. I’ve missed Pretty Series lately and this one seems to have PriPara vibes. I’m also really looking forward to Tonari no Youkai-san, it looks really cute and cozy.

I also want to watch A Condition Called Love, Sound! Euphonium 3 and Whisper Me a Love Song. For shorts, I’ll also watch Mahjong Soul Kan!! since the first series was fun.

I too have way too big a list of shows I want to see. There are plenty of exciting sequels such as Konosuba, Slime, Mahouka, Boku No, Kimetsu, Yuru Camp and Shinigami. Seemingly interesting new shows I want to see include Grandpa and Grandma Turn Young Again, Karasu wa Aruji wo Erabanai, Train to the End of the World and too many others. Honestly, it might be one of the best anime seasons thus far for my tastes, which means that cutting the mega list will be difficult.

Judging from the trailers, Karasu is adapting the first novel, too. The two novels take place at the same time, one inside the rear court, and one showing what's happening outside of it. The fact that they cast all the princesses at all means they're at least doing some of that book.

Hopefully it turns out well enough to get the novels licensed here. It's a very unusual series, where each volume is dramatically different from the last in tone and even genre.

The trailer didn't make it look like the most impressive production (and I'm not big on the art style) but this does have the original Laid Back Camp director, so hopefully his deft hand will do the books justice.

I watched all of Konosuba but the movie felt like a turn off when they made rape jokes.

I read the kaiju manga years ago but it didn't seem to deviate from common shonen tropes other than the fact that the protagonist was middleaged. Is the rest of the cast the same age? At least the production values are notable.

I kinda look forward Black Butler mostly because of its comedy but I hope it's easy to remember cos the wait between sequels especially monthly sequels like Blue Exorcist makes it hard to remember the cast.

Loser, Loser, Ranger kinda gives me memories of Samurai Flamenco so I might check it at least based on the writer's comments.

Mushoku Tensei for me. The fact that this is coming up is all that assuages me even slightly from the fact that it will probably be at least a couple of years before we see more Frieren.

What a stacked season! Sound Euphonium! is second pick. Also very excited for another season of Reincarnated as a Slime. Konosuba. Yuru Camp. Am I allowed to be marginally pleased for the return of Demon Slayer? I know all the cool kids are down on it now. Still a pretty good show, though. Hell, I'll go further to out myself: I LIKE ISEKAIS. I don't even mind the stat screens. (Not that there aren't a bunch of mediocre ones, but that's a quality issue, not a genre issue.)

I kind of gave up on Duke of Death due to the fact that the situation was too static, but if they are resolving it this season I'll probably watch it all.

Past that Kaiju #8, Spice and Wolf, got some sports anime (I hope the baseball one is good), Wind Breaker could be fun, Train to the End of the World definitely. Lots and lots of other stuff to burrow into.

I forgot to cite this one in my post. Make room in the Uncool Kid Club for me because I still love this franchise.

My only apprehension is that the adaptation is in pretty shaky hands – a co-production between a studio that has never made a full-length series and an already overburdened Yokohama Animation Lab.


Didn't Cloud Hearts work on The Iceblade Sorcerer mostly on their own?

Same, though I did find the last season to get a tad tedious at times.
