Might check out Cutie Honey since Devilman was so good.

Never thought I'd say something that dumb, but here we are.
---

wixoss HYPE
---

I'm thinking the same thing, though it is a different studio.

I really liked Gainax' RE: Cutie Honey.
---

Probably Site. Other than maybe Cutie Honey I dont think Id even consider watching the others

Mahou Shoujo Ore hypeeeeeeee
---

spendin' my days

diggin' for mahou shoujo ore
---

I cant see myself watching any magical boy show that isnt Is this a Zombie? and man do I still want another season of that :(

Hmmmmmmm, thought Each Defense Club was popular while it was airing.
---

Aikatsu is an idol show, good job not falling for the trap everyone. Totally didn't fuck up on accident.
---

Got 80% of the way through hype-ups and lost all the data. Doubt I do that again oops

EDIT: Lmao I actualy only had three shows left. God, I'm pissed.

Like Ive seen two seasons of this and while its entertaining at times its much more a parody of magical girl shows than anything else
---

I didn't even realize this was season 3 and not 2, so I shouldn't be surprised.

Magical Girl Site looks like it's going to either be awesome or so bad it's good, so win-win I figure.
---

I don't actually remember most of those shows despite reading about next season less than a week ago. I recall Magical Girl Site catching my eye though so I voted that.
---

https://myanimelist.net/anime/36873/Back_Street_Girls

this sounds like GOTY material

I want it that way
---

Not anticipating, but watching more Wixoss anyway.
---

Fuck it, this episode of 3-gatsu no Lion 2nd Season is weak, so I will multitask. So grab your vodka, because you're going to wish this never happened. I sure know I will after having to relive these shitty jokes.

3D Kanojo
I banged a 3D girl once. Never gonna make that mistake again.

Aikatsu Friends!
Can't wait for this idol phase to be dead and buried so we can go back to good phases like cute girls doing cute things and comparing everything to Dark Souls.

Akkun to Kanojo
Absolutely brilliant! It's turning the tsundere formula on it's head and making it about a tsundere guy. This emulates real life where everyone sees me as this brooding, unflinching badass, but really, I just want a girlfriend. Even nails the stalking part! Can't wait for this one!

Alice or Alice
Neither, it's Alice

Amanchu! Advance
I hope everyone who didn't pirate Amanchu realizes what they've done.

Beyblade Burst Chouzetsu
Beyblade is basically a D-lister in children's marketing gimmicks if you think about it.

Binan Koukou Chikyuu Bouei-bu HAPPY KISS
Nothing's manlier than drinking milk with your shirt off, surrounded by your boys who are also drinking milk with their shirts off

Boku no Hero Academia 3
At long last, we get to see the adaptation of volume 2.

Butlers ~Chitose Momotose Monogatari~
A show about gay, time traveling, crime fighting butlers? Sign me up!

Caligula
Why would you want to escape 2D? That makes no sense.

Captain Tsubasa (2018)
Probably just another nostalgia-tinted cash gr-

"David Production"

Nevermind, AotY

Comic Girls
I don't care how much you guys hype them, I'm not going to check out these shows about hot girls unironically being weebbags.

Cutie Honey Universe
It's basically Devilman

Devil's Line
It's basically Tokyo Ghoul. Except actually.

Dorei-ku The Animation
If this isn't 100% women dominating men and calling them pigfucks, I'm out.

Full Metal Panic! Invisible Victory
I thought FMP was KyoAni? Too bad they're busy witth all-time classic Vince Vaughn films.

Fumikiri Jikan
If this isn't 100% women telling stories of dominating men and calling them pigfucks, I'm out.

Gegege no Kitarou (2018)
None of these characters have the same art design. This can't go well.

Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu -Die Neue These- Kaikou
I watched LoGH during a period where I was just trying to watch as much anime as possible. It's super dense, so it didn't really sit well with me. Been meaning to check it out again at some point. This version seems to be adapting 100+ episodes into, like, 12. This can't go well either.

Golden Kamui
It's basically Uncharted

Gundam Build Divers
Just another politically-charged Gundam show forcing it's ideologies down our throats

Gurazeni
"The "baseball money survival" story focuses on a baseball team that operates as a highly-stratified society, where the player's performance determines his annual salary."

It's basically real baseball
---

High School DxD HERO
Remember about a month ago when I tried to get back into DxD, thinking I'd like it as much as I did in high school? Yeah, that was dumb.

Hinamatsuri
No joke, actually excited for this.

Hisone to Maso-tan
That dragon is clearly a sociopath. Just look at those eyes.

Hoozuki no Reitetsu 2: Part II
It's basically Half-Life 2: Episode 2

Inazuma Eleven: Ares no Tenbin
I was super hyped when Level-5 finally brought this game to America. Bought it immediately. Still haven't played it...

Juushinki Pandora
No jokes here. Sounds like standard stuff.

Kakuriyo no Yadomeshi
Actually sounded neat until I realized it was a reverse harem. I'm just not into heterosexuality tbqh.

Kiratto PriChan
It's basically YouTube

Last Period: Owarinaki Rasen no Monogatari
Absolutely disgusting attempt at normalizing menstruation.

Layton Mystery Tanteisha: Katori no Nazotoki File
Literally no character is safe from becoming a loli

Lostorage Conflated WIXOSS
Wixoss has the dumbest titles.

Lupin III: Part V
Haven't seen parts I-IV ow well

Mahou Shoujo Ore
Just going to assume this is about mining for magical girls.

Mahou Shoujo Site
I hate what Madoka did to this genre. It went from being shit to being absolute shit.

Major 2nd
lmao I bet he plays semi-pro

Megalo Box
I hope this reaches the hyper realism that Ippo had. Otherwise, I will have to write a scathing review on Board 8.

Nil Admirari no Tenbin
Literally the entire plot is in the description. No point in watching.

Oshiri Tantei
This will be a catasstrophe

Persona 5 The Animation
It will never be as good as Hollow Knight The Animation

Piano no Mori (TV)
Pianos are lame. They should make it about electric guitars

Rokuhoudou Yotsuiro Biyori
I'd rather be served alcohol when I'm having problems with life.

Saredo Tsumibito wa Ryuu to Odoru
Do me a favor and just look at the picture. Study the pose which the two characters are taking within the picture. Think back and realize you seen at least hundreds of shows promote themselves with an image of two dudes in the exact same pose. Now sit there and just try and tell me that this won't be AotY.
---

Shiyan Pin Jiating
The studio is called, "Big Firebird Cultural Media Co., Ltd."

Shokugeki no Souma: San no Sara - Tootsuki Ressha-hen
Sorry, not into hentai anime

Souten no Ken: REGENESIS
Probably just another nostalgia-tinted cash gr-

"Polygon Pictures"

Nevermind, AotY

Steins;Gate 0
I'll watch the movie eventually

Sword Art Online Alternative: Gun Gale Online
A better SAO alternative is to just end it all

Tada-kun wa Koi wo Shinai

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zoo9Vu1a9bU" data-time="

Tokyo Ghoul:re
The manga was a bit of a mess and I dropped it, though I thought it having a trans character just being a normal person was cool. I'll probably check it out.

Uma Musume Pretty Derby
It's basically Mac's fetish

Wotaku ni Koi wa Muzukashii
nerds

I'm going to cry myself to sleep now.
---

Anyway, I usually don't d write-ups before actually looking at what I plan to check out, but I did this time. Looking through, I'll be checking out...

Boku no Hero Academia 3rd Season
Butlers: Chitose Momotose Monogatari
Captain Tsubasa
Cutie Honey Universe
Golden Kamuy
Gurazeni
Hinamatsuri
Hisone to Maso-tan
Megalo Box
Persona 5 the Animation
Piano no Mori (TV)
Shiyan Pin Jiating
Steins;Gate 0
Tada-kun wa Koi wo Shinai
Tokyo Ghoul:re

God, this is way out of hand.

Oh what I just learned they delayed Chio-chan to summer. Damn, I was looking forward to "dramatic extreme going to school comedy".

Now there are only ten shows I plan to check out next season.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
---

I really liked this episode of March Comes in Like a Lion actually. Easily the most excited I've been about actual shogi so far in the show.
---

It ended up being good. Had to pause write-ups until it ended.

it's actually 12 plus 3 "movies" of 4 episodes apiece, but the overarching point stands
---

Maybe when I have good Internet I'll get HiDive and watch it through that. I just really hate watching anime on my computer.
---

The only 3 I'm like, making sure I watch are MHA S3, P5, and Digimon Tri final movie

I'll make time for some random others at some point if I find some that interest me enough
---

Unless I'm forgetting shit or the pacing just fucking melts, HeroAca should go well past where I've read. 24 episodes confirmed.
---

LapisLazuli posted...

It's already pretty runny
---

2 certainly felt better than 1.

The pacing would have to reach One Piece levels of embarrassing to not make it that far, though.
---

Mahou Shoujo Ore sounds amazing.in that classic "what the hell, Japan" way.

Has...Precure always looked like this?
---

Yes.
---

Man I still need to watch the other Digimon Tri movies
---

I think they confirmed 25 episodes for HeroAca season 3

Also just in, confirmation of July 27th release date for HeroAca movie

they're fun times! Some of it kind of stalls and is not AS great but nothing is bad really. And there's a part I legit teared up at, I think it was the 3rd movie? I'm gonna rewatch them all when the last one comes out

So we'll see it next year.

Two days until AICO, and I think me and roba are the only ones who have watched B, lol.
---

I'm planning to watch AICO right away too! It looks good
---

Also what chapter of HeroAca are you on? I could roughly tell you if it'll go past where you are
---

I read a bunch of Mahou Shoujo Site, main character was annoying, but there were a good number of memorable sequences.

Golden Kamui seems like the show ready to make a splash from the new stuff. Though those are some big name franchises coming out spring so it could very well get lost in the shuffle.

Pretty far back. Guy who looks like the bobbleheads from Fallout (Vault Boy?) hadn't shown up yet. I think it was right after the All Might apology tour after he lost his powers.
---

Actually that might be around where season 3 ends tbh, it won't be TOO far off that imo

I really don't know what to expect of Site, but I imagine I will be entertained regardless.

Kamuy is Geno's 2nd anime after Kokkoku, and Kokkoku has been pretty great so far, so fingers crossed.

Meanwhile site is cow's 2nd anime after....an is this Order a Rabbit OVA, so who knows what to expect there.
---

hmm well no it might go a bit further than that, there's a few things past that I could see fitting into season 3

yea you should catch up there's some nifty stuff later on and this arc they're on right now is super fun
---

I didn't stop for any particular reason other than I always stop reading a manga once I'm caught up. Without a super convenient legal weekly way to read I've got pretty much no motivation to read any manga weekly. Even JoJo I'm like a year behind on.
---

Tbh, I'm just thinking GK will do well because the manga has sold decently well without an anime and it was pushed as one of the big new series from one of the major french publishing houses. So before the anime was announced, it was building a presence overseas.

The manga is actually p decent, setting was nice and the time period isn't something I've read much about from a Japanese perspective.

No idea who will be broadcasting it, but since spring is stacked, I'm totally gonna let stuff pile up for when a slower season comes up!
---

GK seems like they TYPE of anime that would get Netflix'd...we'll see. Hopefully not for the sake of it's popularity.

Hopefully it's a little easier to talk about than B. Not exactly the easiest series to breakdown.

Also I highly recommend you watch Steins;Gate before 0 starts, Roba. Still my #1 televised anime. And how can you resist that OP!

---

I'll definitely watch Steins;Gate at some point but I went through the VN less than a year ago so I'm still in no rush. Besides, there's a good chance I'll play the SG0 VN in April since I'll be going on trip and it would be good for the airplane ride.

That is a good OP though, I'd never watched it before!
