Mario: Well, with all the premieres are out (and couples of them delayed infinitely), it’s time for our usual blogging schedule for the next 3 months and our First Episode Awards. It might be an unpopular opinion but I still eager to follow what this Spring season has to offer. The current pandemic has sadly halted many projects (most of them are sequels, for reasons I am yet to comprehend), and I suspect in the next two seasons, we’re going to hear more sad news regarding the medium. That’s the reason why my current attitude is that I am happy with what we currently have. This Spring season has couples of stylish Detective shows, new trend of isekai a protagonist who came back as someone younger (or I call it New-AGE isekai), and many promising seinen titles. Unlike last season where Eizouken and Dorohedoro dominated our list, this season we have no clear “Best Premiere”, in fact there was a heated discussion between staffs to agree on the winners.
As for this season’s coverage, there are some good news: Armitage is back in full force with Arte and new manga column (I wish her all the best), and hat’s off to Wooper for blogging full time (3 shows) this season. Amun won’t be blogging any show, but he will be regular in Weekly Summary post. Here’s the full coverage for Spring 2020 season:
