Spring 2018 Preview

this season filled with bangers.

Wow what is up with this upcoming season? So many old anime getting newer versions, and also very good anime getting another season/movie. It's going to be very interesting!

Bunch of great looking stuff! Sorry I'm kind of new here, but does anyone know if there is a compilation list somewhere of who will be carrying these shows in the US?

Ah, guess I answered my own question, as I found this: https://myanimelist.net/news/54729291

Although, this is still missing a bunch, like Gun Gale Alternate... still unsure of who might be carrying that in the US...

Isekai Izakaya: Koto Aitheria Izakaya Nobu is coming out on April 13th, although, I guess, since we don't know yet if it's an anime or not, it doesn't really count, haha.

So excited about so many of these! Wotakoi I've been waiting for since it's annoucement and BNHA3 is a must watch.

Gurazeni will start April 6.

OK let's break all this down

MHA: more overhyped generic shounen crap with feels, sakuga and pretty colors. People who say this show redefines the shounen genre are wrong and need to grow up

Stein's Gate: DUDUDUUU and here we go with more time resets and a needless story to a show that already got decent closure, what could possibly go wrong? (not to mention we already know the end...) - reeks of cashgrab SONOVABITCH!

Tokyo Ghoul: first two seasons were crap (thanks Pierrot!), what could possibly go wrong? - just stick to the manga

Food Wars: more food porn and pretty colors

SAO Alternative: a MOE version of SAO, need I say more?

High School DxD: just stick to hentai or proper porn

Persona5: it's A1 pictures...

Wotaku ni Koi wa Muzukashii: see Persona5

Fullmetal Panic: earlier seasons were good, if Xebec gives it the Yamato treatment this could be good

Devil's Line: Looks like Tokyo Ghoul and Twilight got in bed together for this one

Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu: Let's cram a decade of 110 OVAs into a 12ep series, what could possibly go wrong?

Golden Kamuy: This actually might be good, though I've never heard of Studio Geno and source material is ongoing

Captain Tsubasa: So we're getting a remake of an old soccer anime instead of Jojo part5, really?

Megalo Box: If this is anywhere near Ashita no Joe then it could be good, but it's a sports anime so I'm not getting my hopes up

Lupin III: do people still care about Lupin?

Souten no Ken: CGI Fist of the North Star! Because Berserk 2016 was so amazing!

I could go on but simply put this season doesn't look as good as people are making it out to be

My Most Awaited: Lupin III - Part: V

I'm also awaiting Inazuma Eleven: Ares. I guess it's a "kids" show by definition (as to why it's not on here), despite every fan outside of Japan being not a kid. Seems legit. Sadly, it most likely won't get officially licensed in the US.

I'll give SAO a go. What could possibly go wrong?

Other than that, I'll dabble in what original series there are. If any hold my attention, I'll give them a watch.

what about a UHD proper rip for smart TV watch?

Spring looks pretty stacked this year.

Honestly, the manga adaptations look the most impressive so far but some of the other shows has potential too.

Very hyped :

Amanchu! Advance (First season was one of my favorite anime of all times)

Should be interesting :

Steins;Gate 0
Boku no Hero Academia 3rd Season
Megalo Box
Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu: Die Neue These - Kaikou
Captain Tsubasa

Will give these a try :

Hisone to Masotan
Golden Kamuy
Sword Art Online Alternative: Gun Gale Online
Waka Okami wa Shougakusei!
Hinamatsuri
Tachibana-kan to Lie Angle (too bad it's a short)

This is shaping up to be the best season of the year. So many sequels and a lot of potential sleeper hits! Here's my list:
Watching:
My Hero Academia S3 (Obviously)
Devils Line (A dark romance tail always peques my interest)
Saredo Tsumibito wa Ryuu to Odoru (Looks cool. But also very worried)
Golden Kamuy (Heard a lot about the Manga, might aswell give it a try)
Magical Girl Site (Another Dark Mahou Shojou)
Hisone and Maso-tan (Bones Original Show)
Continuing:
Darling in the Franxx (Interesting Ideas but it needs to ramp up)
Beatless (It's been a drag to watch this show, but last episode was alright)
Maybe:
Sword Art Online Alternative (Sword Art online has a tendancy for me for half of the show to be good. Since this is one cour, I hope that its a GOOD cour)
Wotaku ni Koi wa Muzukashii (The premise seems so dull idk)
Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu: Die Neue These - Kaikou (I'm always cautious on Sci-Fi shows)
Not watching:
High School DxD 4 (Not into the series anymore)
No strong feelings on everything else

This season is looking BOSS!

So many good looking shows!

The first two weeks of April is gonna be pretty busy.
My personal watching schedule is as follows:

Kitaro on the 1st
Tsubasa and Triamisu on the 3rd
Lupin III on the 4th
Hinamtsuri & Megalo Box on the 6th
My Hero Academia on the 7th
Cutie Honey Universe, Persona 5, & Professor Laton on the 8th
Golden Kamuy on the 9th
And Gurazeni... whenever that starts, lol.
Might throw in Piano no Mori for good measure, not sure yet.

This is the most I've wanted to watch from a season of anime than I can remember since I started watching anime season-by-season (in 2012)

Change the Wakaokami wa Shougakusei trailer as it is actually not really for the show.

April 7: Getting all fired up with boku no hero then some amanchu and chill...
Perfect day 👌👌👌

I will watch next season...

1.Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu
2.Steins Gate 0
3.SAO
4.Persona 5
5.Lostorage

so on...
楽しみだww

Since I burned myself last season by starting too much anime (and I also want to finish my backlog), I don't have that much that interests me. Here's my - conpared to the latest one, much shorter - list:

No way I'm going to skip these:

Aikatsu Friends! - obviously
HeroAca S3 - do I need to say why?

Continuing from last season:

Hugtto Precure! - got me interested in Precure in general, which is the main reason this season won't be so packed for me
Beatless - not sure about this, at least it's watchable for now
(Franxx - I'll pick it back up when it becomes good again)

Interested:
Golden Kamuy - heard good things about the manga, interesting premise, especially for a history nerd like me
Hisone to Maso-tan - it can be anything, looks like a very unique original anime, also Kurosawa Tomoyo is voicing a delinquent :D
Comic Girls - Kirara of the season, so it can't be bad
Uma Musume - cute horses doing cute things
Gegege no Kitarou - a classic, it would be a great place to get into it for me
Tada-kun - original romance anime with a character from a country barely represented in any media, let alone in anime
Megalobox - Ashita no Joe in a future post-apocalyptic setting, count me in

Not sure:
LoGH - the space battles look great, but not sure about the character designs, definitely looks like to be divisive amongst the fans
SAO Gungale - on one hand, it looks interesting and also done by 3hz, one of my favorite studios, on the other hand, I'm less than interested in SAO in general, I'll check it out if it can be watched separately
Lupin III Part V - looks interesting but I haven't watched any Lupin before, hopefully it's newbie-friendly

Excited for 3D Kanojo. I hope it covers the entire story.

What I want to know is when Tate no Yuusha no Nariagari (Rising of the Shield Hero) is coming out.

APRIL 8TH 9TH and 10TH. That weekend is gonna be the shit and I'll be ready.

Best season being Spring??? Who predicted this.

Nil Admirari no Tenbin: Teito Genwaku Kitan ( i hope it is as good as Code:Realize)

Some of the trash anime that I will never watch

Amanchu! Advance (boring slice of life trash)
Akkun to Kanojo (shit unfunny compedy)

Continuing anime from winter

Darling in the FranXX
Nanatsu no Taizai 2
Grancrest Senki
Toji no Miko
Hakyuu Houshin Engi
Beatless
Black Clover


I think spring will be better than winter, and one of the reasons is that continuing anime from winter are still good
