Will Watch:
- Durarara!!x2 Ketsu.
- Dimension W - second best op in the season it seems. Unique setting. Great designs. Seinen. What's not to like?
- Ajin - The setting and the cgi seems promising enough.
- Sushi Police - its always nice to see self-aware political satire. Its nice to see that the silly bullshit the politicians said about overseas sushi restaurants has long since become a meme. Dig the stylized design and the music in the pv.
- Boku dake ga Inai Machi - always dig a good mystery show(as long as it is good and not...well...Perfect Insider). The PV looks good and devoid of usual anime tropes too.
- Divine Gate - badass op song, top notch character designs. Unless the studio manages to turn this into a horrible trash,this should be watchable.
- Sekkou Boys - ALL OF MY YES to this.
- Bubuki Buranki- even if story ends up a mess, worth solely for top notch cgi animation already.
- Schwarzesmarken - Hopefully this leads to eventual adaptation of Muv Luv and Muv Luv Alternative.
- Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu

Will Try:
- Macross Δ - pls don't suck, pls don't suck. Macross usually is good but the character designs so far do not inspire confidence.
- Luck & Logic - It all depends on how generic this will get and whether action will be good.

No hopes:
- Active Raid: well out of all pvs this was amongst one of most generic. The op sounds awful, the highschooler filled cast looks horrible, the art style is generic. Might try but I don't expect anything from this.
- Norn9 : obligatory "bunch of masculine jackasses abuse a bland submissive female mc for whole series" show. also known As otome game adaptation. Unless they start singing(like with Dance with Devils), don't see any reason to watch this.
- Hai to Gensou no Grimgar: Ughhhh. Will try and see I guess. PVs look trashy as all hell tho :/



Trash:
Musaigen no Phantom World - holy chuuni gods. What will it take for kyoani to go finally defunct instead of spewing out this crap? IF the studio, the setting and horrible character designs was not cringe enough, the synopsis filled with the most outlandish chuuni "terminology" makes it clear at how trashy this will be.
Dagashi Kashi - character designs that can cause nightmares.
Koukaku no Pandora - obligatory "we cater to neets with moe" show.
Saijaku Muhai no Bahamut - obligatory generic ln adaptation, with very cancerous genre tags. And the boob grab. Obligatory LN adaptation boob grab. Pass.
Mahou Shoujo Nante Mou Ii Desukara. - Why is this a thing? Oh right. Neets.

Death Parade is overrated edgy garbage. <br />
<br />
Its a proof that Billards worked better as a short work and there was not much in it to extend into full show. The only decent part of it was the OP and even that was not the best of the year.

while I agree, MH is still good & a top name of the industry. Imagine if MH had suffered the same fate as Gonzo, gainax, manglobe or current deen.

Death parade had it's flaws, but it's a sign that the old madhouse everyone loved it for isnt dead. They've changed to survive.

Madhouse before Mappa =/= Madhouse now.

hilarious statement considering MadHouse was one of the studios that started the ln-adaptation trend in the industry with boogiepop phantom in 2000. Not to say that the only ln-adaptation they did last year was overlord.

it doesnt look a bad season at all , but the only studio that didnt fail me was MadHouse , people underate so much this studio , the others where kind of meh ,

fai said:
Madhouse is one out of two studios(the other being ufotable) that westerners eat up no matter what - even if they were to shit on a plate, most people still would assume it will be &quot;hyyype&quot;. <br />
<br />
<br />
That is of course because most people don&#039;t take into account that Madhouse is creatively bankrupt ln-adaptation factory since all the relevant people from it went on to form Studio Mappa
