Finished off Season 2 of Rozen Maiden. Those last few episodes were a real roller coaster. Shinku is still best girl.

Twin Angel has been a fairly by-the-numbers magical girl show so far, but the humor has been really fun so I'm still enjoying it a lot. Considering that it's essentially a bright, colorful, gigantic advertisement for slot/pachinko machines, it's been pretty good.

Watched the first episode of The Great Pretender on Netflix. Interesting premise, more interesting that they don't dub in the dub until the 10 minute mark... for some reason.

That part sounded looped at times both in Japanese and English to me. Really impressive if it was all one continuous take though (unless I'm misinterpreting what one take would mean here). I guess it wouldn't be too hard if you let yourself kind of pause a bit between sets of mudas though.

Eithet way the WRRRYYY scream was the coolest part to me.

The awesome ending song that Magia Record's anime had for the final episode of the first season is finally out in full, and it fucking rocks. MagiReco's English game may be dead, but we still have the second season of the anime to look forward to next year. I hope they use this song for the ED in that second season as well, because it fits perfectly with the darker tone the story is certainly going towards later on.

I saw six shows next season that I'm interested in. In order of how excited I am for them:

- Assault Lily: Bouquet
- Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon
- Strike Witches: Road To Berlin
- Sport Climbing Girls
- Sleepy Princess in the Demon Castle
- Wandering Witch: The Journey of Elaina

I might wait to watch the dub for Yashahime since it seems almost inevitable that Toonami will pick it up at some point. I'll also be watching the dub for Strike Witches (like I did for all the other seasons) but it's a Funimation show so a timely simuldub is a fairly safe bet.

Not counting sequels or spin-offs, the shows I've enjoyed the most so far in 2020 have been:

- BOFURI: I Don't Want To Get Hurt, So I'll Max Out My Defense.
- Healin' Good Precure
- Princess Connect Re:Dive
- My Next Life As A Villainess
- Diary Of Our Days At The Breakwater
- Deca-Dence

If we include sequels and spin-offs, I've also really liked:

- A Certain Scientific Railgun T
- Magia Record: Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story
- BanG Dream season 3
- Fruits Basket season 2
- Cardfight Vanguard Extra Story -IF-

Hasn't been much of any real note since a lot of it has been delayed.

So far of the new series to get animated, these are the ones that interested me the most.
Ishuzoku Reviewers. The streaming services that picked it up in the states dropped it for being porn.
Houkago Teibou Nisshi. Haven't actually watched it yet but it looks good.
Maou Gakuin no Futekigousha. It's a reboot of the school battle harem genre that died in the name of Isekai but, the protagonist isn't a beltway pansy.
Koisuru Asteroid. A cute girls do cute things series about two girls in an Astronomy/Geology club trying to find an unnamed comet.

Kinda so-so watch when you're bored series:
Kyokou Suiri
Murenase! Seton Gakuen

Sequels of interest:
Oregairu Finale. It's a lot better than the previous seasons since it's not rushing to cover a volume of content every 2 episodes. Which granted makes it feel slow.
Kaguya Season 2. Follows the manga pretty well, takes some creative liberties with presentation, sort of like Bakemonogatari series.
Re:Zero 2. This one isn't finishing till next year due to Covid. The author had clearly been watching the best Monty Python film when he wrote the arc.
Bang Dream 3. Follows the new band, which is a backup band because a fair number of the VAs couldn't actually play their instruments.

For all of the shows I put in the sequels and spin-offs section, it's required or at least heavily recommended to have watched the previous installments beforehand. But every Precure series is a brand new series with a brand new cast and story that can be watched and fully enjoyed in isolation without seeing any of the previous ones beforehand. That's why I put it with the new shows and not with the sequels and spin-offs.

I'm guessing adaptation. Sequel probably wouldn't draw as much of an audience. 13 episodes is a little short for both games so I'd imagine it'd only be an adaptation of the first one unless it's really rushed.

They could also pull the whole "Liked the anime? Continue the story with the next two games" at the end.

I thought for sure it wouldn't go through at the last moment. This is an injustice.

well i started with x hunter x last year with my best friend but we didn't finish it
it was always subbed in the background, not fully paying attention to it. somewhere in the middle we stopped and he didnt wanna continue

fast forward to now i decided i want to rewatch it and in less than a week i caught up to as far as i can remember which i think is pretty impressive. i dont know if its popular/wellknown here but i am at the part with the chimera ants. it was my least favourite part last time but i also quit somewhere in the middle so now im giving it a proper chance. also my friend watched the whole conclusion of the game card island part on his own. worse than cheating lol but i finally got that as well. im excited for what's next.

I also accidentally started the 1990 version this time and i didnt even notice until the 30th episode. my friend had to point it out haha kind of liked the graphical difference.

I watched (the new) Hunter x Hunter but never got that far. I stopped after the Yorknew Arc I think it was called. Saw all of Demon Slayer and really liked it too, I would totally go to the theater in person to see the movie if they brought it here but probably not happening due to COVID. Sadly I've since been spoiled on a few things about it but I'll still watch the inevitable next seasons.

Just realized this one topic has lasted like the entire summer.

Yeah, I think it's coming this year, but outside of Japan the distributor would have to hold an event in your country to show it, which I imagine they won't do at all due to COVID no matter the individual situation in each country.

Black Clover is another fantasy shonen anime similar to those two shows that has really good world-building and a lot of creative magic battles. It's pretty long though (130+ episodes and still airing) and it kind of starts slow for the first 15 episodes or so, but it gets really good later on.

Since you mentioned liking sci-fi series, Cowboy Bebop and Outlaw Star are both classic sci-fi adventure anime with really interesting characters and a great story as well. They're much shorter series too, both only 26 episodes each plus Bebop having an additional movie on the side.

The last recommendation I'll drop for now is Symphogear, which is a sci-fi action show with a wild story and five seasons (65 episodes total) of awesome action scenes that almost make it feel like an over-the-top 80's action movie. The series doesn't have an English dub (I don't know if you would be fine with subtitled anime so early in your anime watching career or if you would prefer dubbed anime for now) and the first season is a bit rough around the edges in terms of visuals, but get past those obstacles and it's amazing.

Except it is focused on a lot fewer characters.
