And itās time for another one of these lists. They kinda keep growing in number and itās scary, but here it is! This season there were some continuation and some anime that got new seasonsĀ (ahiru no sora, chihayafuru, isekai quartet,Ā kaibukichou sherlock, iruma-kun, radiant, nnt) but here are the new anime we started ^^
{ Winter ā18 } Ā { Spring ā18 } Ā { Summer ā18 } Ā { Fall ā18 } Ā { Winter ā19 } { Spring ā19 } Ā { Summer ā19 }Ā {Ā Fall ā19Ā }
BOFURI: I Donāt Want to Get Hurt, so Iāll Max Out My Defense.
This is a typical isekai with a game-like action and plot. It doesnāt have any deeper meaning, but okay for relaxing. Basically, if you want to take your brain out for a walk - watch this!
The manga is better. It always is, but here especially so. It has a really good concept - a battle to the death game in real life, but not as good execution with the anime adaptation, they skipped some of the really important parts. Donāt let that discourage you tho! It has a good character development and nice action scenes, which makes it quite good! And move on to the manga later ^^
A very interesting anime! Weird, but good! Not surprising tho, itās mappa. The world in which the story is placed is, although very dark, refreshing and unusually good. The characters are unique, lovable, but weirdā¦ like really weird. The animation is a bit different, but it has itās charm. Also, it has itās fair share of blood and gruesome scenes, so skip it if you donāt like that. We loved it though! One of the favorites ^^
Hands off the motion pictures club!Ā
Soft. Just goddamn soft. The animation is a bit different and simplistic, but it fits the characters so well. This slice of life pulls you into the imaginative and colorful world of three high school girls who share the love for animation, and the viewer follows their process of getting inspired for plots for their anime and working on creating it. There is not much action going on, but it always leaves you with a positive feeling after watching it.
Yes. Watch it please.Ā Awesome detective/ mystery story. The idea of entering a criminal subconscious (aka the id) is a unique and it gives new possibilities for detectives to find clues. The plot is very intriguing and keeps you on your toes. Its confusing at the beginning, but the story connects better after a few episodes and it makes you want to watch more. The characters are intriguing and their conversations well paced. (also great voice actors and music *-*) It has some darker scenes, murder and suicide mention, just thought I should mention that, but itās an extremely good anime, so would definitely recommend!
If My Favorite Pop Idol Made It to the Budokan, I Would DieĀ Ā
As you can see from the title, this is about a girl fangirling over her favorite idol and thatās it, thatās the plot. But, itās somehow soft, nicely animated and the story is just enough for an episode a week. It shows both the idol and the fan side of the idol culture, especially the less famous groups. Overall, itās not an anime that will knock you off your feet, but itās a solid comedy with relatable characters ^^
Generic entering-a-game anime. The point of the anime is that every persons possibilities are endless and everyone has the potential to develop into a strong person. Like we said, nothing new. Itās old, but cute concept.Ā
Jibaku Shounen Hanako-kunĀ
And weāre pretty sure most people already know about this one! Itās playful, colorful, cute as heck, the main girl gets a bit annoying, but itās hella good! The story balances comedy with a school setting and a darker side involving yokai and evil things that lurk in the shadows, making it interesting to watch. The animation is pleasant to the eyes and the characters are great, whatās more to want ^^
The plot of this anime is more focused on logical and critical thinking rather than on action, though it may seem otherwise from the synopsis. The relationships between the main characters are kind of weird, but in a good way and their interactions are always interesting. We were pleasantly surprised to see the main female character to have a crush on a guy and still maintain her IQ level. Overall, itās a good anime, it has good voice actors (Mamo-chan <3), but donāt expect to be kept on the edge of your seat.
Magia Record: Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica GaidenĀ Ā
If you watched Madoka, Iām sure youāve heard about this release. We were happy that they kept the same dementia animation style, especially of witches. It kinda has a more positive vibe than the original but it still keeps some of the original darkness. There are a lot of new magical girls and more plot and action. Itās pretty good, but the original is better (we love them darkness).
A very cute five minute anime about a girl searching for her friend who suddenly stopped answering her texts. The animation is cute and you have nothing to lose if you watch it.
Itās about japanese warlords and historical figures, who are resurrected as dogs. Even though theyāve kept their personalities, they canāt say no to dogs drives (pet me hooman!). Itās cute, but not a lot of plot.
It has a very interesting idea of entering peoples subconscious and changing it, manipulating their memories in order to control them. But the executions of that idea isā¦ meh, at best. The characters arenāt lovableĀ or memorable, you donāt feel a connection to them. Itās one of those anime that at the end you sayĀ āIt could have been so goodā. But yeah, it wasnāt.
Science Fell in Love, So I Tried to Prove ItĀ
The title says it all. Comedy, slice of life (but not really, the sample is not representable). You really start rooting for the main couple and they are funny at proving their love. Itās also educational, it does mention and explain some principles. Itās quite funny ngl.Ā
A heartwarming anime about a guy who wants to be a designer and a girl who is too short, but still wants to be a model. Itās a story about perseverance, hard work and pushing towards your dreams. Positive and emotional, and you find yourself cheering for the main characters. Perfect if you want a slow paced anime that includes character development.Ā
Somali and the Forest SpiritĀ
Itās heartwarming, has very clear animation and great voices. The concept is really interesting, the accent is on understanding others different than you and showing love and support. Basically, lots of emotions, it doesnāt have action or a complicated plot, but as a soft story, itās pretty good.Ā
The Case Files of Jewler Richard
This show is so filled with emotions and softness, itās amazing! Itās mostly peoples stories - problems and difficulties they overcome on their own or with help of the people close to them, which also have some connection to a jewel. The plot focuses more on the main characters in the later episodes. But the art is very pleasing and the main characters have good chemistry. Of course, itās not for those who donāt like a bit more of a slow paced story, mostly based on storytelling and human interactions. But itās still good ^^
Watched but got to lazy to properly review: Ishuzoku Reviewers (sometimes you just have to admire that someone had the imagination to come up with some of the episodes),Ā Sorcerous Stabber Orphen (not terrible, not that good either)
