It's pretty concerning how we don't have a trailer for Tomodachi Game yet and Saturdays are always the best :P

We don't? I saw it yesterday I think on youtube, maybe it's new or they didn't upload it here on MAL.

I can't wait for Summertime Render. I remember last year seeing a poster or some sort, seemingly looking like a really sad romance story. Then I saw its trailer and read the synopsis and oh boy, shit's gonna be dark.
I'll also watch Dance dance danseur (Mappa bringing us really amazing visuals once again), Kawaii dake ja Nai Shikimori-san (briefly heard about it, but the pink haired girl must be a yandere - like almost all pink haired girls in anime lmao), The rising of the shield hero season 2, Spy x Family and Komi-san 2. Looks like another great season of anime, fellow weebs. Let's enjoy it.



Yeah the trailer came out few days ago but it was the anime's "First Promotional Trailer" that shows the animation segment of it, usually most animes provides more than one Promotional Trailer but there is only one for Tomodachi Game.

There is a lot of anime in the spring season that I have zero interest in watching

But at least there are some anime for my taste with only cute little girls in it

Looking forward to more LL with delicious Yuri, and hopefully, my little lesbian angels will be all over each other,,,YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES

10, I have. Better than last season's measly 6, but still a drop from the 15+ I used to be able to scrape together. Not a good year so far.

I notice that Shin Ikkitousen is all the way in May, I guess the listed start of this Sunday is a pre-airing. Shame, I was planning around having it on the 4th and 11th, but at least it's still coming eventually.
