There seem to be more rom-coms than isekais. Maybe the tide has finally turned?
Other than that, my most anticipated series are continuations from last season. Hoping for pleasant surprises. |

Would you believe there are 3 P.A. Works shows premiering this summer?!
Narenare -Cheer for you!- caught my eye because 1.) I hope we have a better female cheerleading show than last time (I'm looking at you, Anima Yell) and 2.) most of the Bang Dream MyGO! peeps are involved in this so I expect some good girl drama with some yuri involved. Time to go all out, Yuniko Ayano! 
My Deer Friend Nokotan has me a little worried because they memed the hell out of that one snippet of the OP song so it's going feel really awful if the show ends up being not funny at all. But I'm also still curious because Kanata Amane's (from Hololive) "mom" is the original manga-ka so there could be some merit to it. There are also continuing shows such as SHY and Oshi no Ko I'll definitely keep on following. And speaking of Hololive, it's kind of neat we have 2 members doing the OP and ED songs respectively: Sora singing the OP for My Wife Has No Emotion, and Calli doing the ED for Suicide Squad Isekai. |

Nokotan is either going to be one of the best or worst anime of the year. No in-between.
Beyond that, there's Oshi no Ko, naturally. I almost gave into my impatience and read the manga, but I’m somehow managing to come in (mostly) blind. Honestly still not 100% sure it'll even be worth it, but Season 1 built up enough good will with me to inspire cautious optimism. As for a sleeper pick, I caught the first few chapters of the Dungeon People manga a while back, and really liked it. It's not going to become a breakout pop culture phenomenon or anything, but I think the sort of people who enjoy the sort of anime I enjoy will enjoy it. |

darkchibi07 opined:
Yeah, I made that same observation once. However, I still listen to the OP occasionally. Anime creators, someone somewhere will remember your work even from obscure, largely forgotten shows! Anima Yell's OP was the exact kind of super cheerful bubblegum JPop that's right up my alley. There were several of those at that time; Hitoribocchi no Marumaruseikatsu, Miss Vampire Who Lives in My Neighborhood, etc. I'm sure many think them terrible but I likes what I likes. |

Another weird PV for Shikanoko Nokonoko Koshitantan (My Deer Friend Nokotan): https://youtu.be/kVDa05-U980 - turn on the closed captions with English auto-translation.

Spice and Wolf: Merchant meets Wise Wolf Alya Sometimes Hides her Feelings in Russian |

I watched all of it last year. I've been wanting to watch the series for years but was very hesitant because of the watch order and availability of all the anime content. There are a few things not available on Crunchyroll such as the last 3 episodes of Bakemonogatari, the 3 prequel movies and Owarimonogatari II. I had to use other means to view those, lol. I got all the information simply by going to the Monogatari subreddit and asking about it. There's a picture floating around that shows the watch order and that made it pretty straightforward. It was definitely the best decision I made because Monogatari series is now my favorite piece of Japanese media in existence. It's absolutely brilliant and I loved everything about it. |

I'm all fired up! Although I'm waiting to binge it. I mean a few months ago I binged all 328 episodes of the original series for the first time. It's the first traditional battle shounen that I actually enjoyed. |

The recent book series is considered the family season. It follows Araragi and Hitagi's married life after college. |

In the latest Monogatari novels, Araragi and Hitagi are married and have finished college. Monogatari could run as long as One Piece and I'd wholeheartedly welcome it because unlike One Piece, it's actually entertaining. |

You'd definitely love RPG Real Estate then. |

I saw my anime list had Kimi ni Todoke listed this season, though it was under ona, but no one's mentioned it here. Is this not the third season of Kimi ni Todoke that they announced for Netflix?

Looking from the "Narou adaptation" lens, there's six new ones this season:
Isekai, ORE TUEEE non-isekai stock fantasy, school rom-com, ORE TUEEE non-isekai stock fantasy, dungeons appear in real world, shojo-flavored isekai. (Also, I somehow missed Ossan Newbie Adventurer until writing this post, so my bad.) It's still pretty rare that real-world romances that start there get popular enough to get anime, like Roshidere, Angel Next Door, or the upcoming TenBin. But Kakuyomu is also a strong player now in the WN space (though going by Wikipedia's list, still a lot fewer anime than from Narou), and it's never been quite so isekai-heavy -- Higehiro and Super Cub were among the first stories animated, and My Stepmom's Daughter Is My Ex came the next year. They've got VTuber Legend this season, too. |

Hey. Hitori Bocchi was a respectable 7/10. Also, yes, you're the sort of people I'm talking about when I talk about the sort of people who may be interested in Dungeon People. |

I might give the deer girl anime a try since it is directed by Masahiko Ohta who directed two of my favourite comedies, the first season of Minami-ke and Gabriel DropOut, but the only anime I can say for sure that I'll be watching is My Wife Has No Emotion since I already enjoy the manga and, yes, that even includes the Robotics Club chapters.
