Granblue Fantasy - Continuation of good series.
Tower of God - It's been a long time coming, hope the animation does it justice.
Ascendance of a Bookworm S2 - Fuck yeah!
Fruits Basket S2 - Fuck yeah!
Shokugeki no Souma - I'm contractually obligated to watch this to the end.
SAO - Alicization S2 P2 - Maybe Kirito will do something this time!
A Certain Jailbait Railgun T - Fun series.

There's some other stuff in there I will poke at to see if it's any good. Trying not to overload again, as I have a backlog to finish up from this season.

And wow, a new Shokugeki no Soma. I was under the impression it was over now, but I guess they're doing another part?

No idea how good this arc will be for Soma. Heard it was meh.

I stopped reading the manga after the parc they finished in anime last year, sounds pretty much done to me too.

The new Trigger show BNA leaked its first 6 episodes already on the high seas. Didn't watch it, just took a peek. Looks very stylish, reminded me of Promare.

Netflix Japan aired the first 6 over a week ago so that's unsurprising. Will definitely give it a try, because Trigger.

Just watched the teaser for Kakushigoto, and it's a top tier troll job. The manga series is from the author of Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei and is nothing like that:


Episode 1 airs tomorrow.

Tower of God. The animation is crap. I was hoping I wouldn't care since it was ToG. But jeez it sucks.

Yeah, the animation is not very good, but is is faithful to the art style. I'm willing to put up with it for now.

The are clearly opting for a grittier und "drawn" artstyle faithful to S1, a bit like Megalo Box and Toilet-Bound Hanako-Kun. And that is my biggest gripe - they clearly didn't want to disappoint the original fans, but tryinf to adopt the panels and shots from the manwha one to one to camera angles in an anime doesn't really seem to work out. Especially in fight scenes.
