With this seemingly never-ending stream of new shows finally comes to an end, it’s time again for the announcement of our seasonal coverage. While I agree with the sentiments that this season is lackluster in general, especially compared to the previous season with only one true hit Banana Fish, there are many under-the-radar, sleeper hits from wide range across many genres. This season might turn out to be more exciting than I thought it would be.
Here’s our schedule for the 2018 Summer Season:
Aidan: Grand Blue, Planet With, Satsuriku no Tenshi
Mario: Chio-chan no Tsuugakuro, Shoujo Kageki Revue Starlight, Hanebado!
Lenlo: Steins;Gate 0 (carry-over), BANANA FISH
Once again, Lenlo handles another critical hit of the season. Aidan covers two shows where the main characters suffer amnesia (God bless him!) and I go back to my usual territory, cute high-school girls shows, albeit this time they’re a bit unusual: cute girls doing sport (that’s a first for me), cute girls on their way to school and cute girls fighting in a surreal stage play.
Let’s all enjoy this Summer season of anime, hopefully with a glass of beer and NOT with naked muscular men. That’d be depressing!
Even if no one covers it, I reccomend Lupin the Third Part 5. It has great story arcs, great animation and is perfect jumping on point.
I watched the first 5 episodes (or 6?) and I thoroughly enjoyed it until it wrapped up the first arc and I saw it as a good exit point. I might get back to it in the future when I tackle all these Lupin the Third’s adaptations.
Seconding Tayo’s recommendation. The new season has been fun so far (episode 6 notwithstanding).
Are you telling me you DONT enjoy huge muscular men replacing everything you drink with alcohol?!
Really, I think it would be a fantastic contrast to your cute-girl’s genre.
I enjoy watching them but it’d be a huge pain if there’s some naked dudes replacing my drink with alcohol.
I had that experience of knocking down a glass of vodka thinking it’s water before. Boy, the experience!
Lightweight. First night drinking someone handed me a shot and told me to down it. I did. It was Jack Daniels straight.
See, my first time drinking, I was given a shot of whiskey and told to sip it. Moments later someone bursts through the door screaming “SHOTGUN IT”.
Was a fun night.
Never try to outdrink an Irishman Mario.
I always get funny looks from people when they find out I’ve never once been drunk before because I find the taste of alcohol too bitter.
….I have been known to get high however.
Don’t underestimate the drinking culture of Aussie. We’re also known for high tolerance of alcoholnourselves. Or more infamously we’re known for causing havoc whenever getting drunk. One-punch incidents happen a lot in this country.
Too bad it didn’t help you win the emu war
