Mario: Hey folks, welcome to the brand new decade of anime. Winter season is usually the quiet time for anime, and this edition doesn’t seem to break that pattern. Wish-fulfillment isekai and jerky CG idol shows are still going strong to remind us that the fruits of the last decade aren’t truly gone. And while this season might be lacking in terms of truly elite premieres (I can count only Eizouken and Haikyuu), there are many promising lower-tier shows that could manage to become sleeper hits. Without further ado, I’m pleased to present our coverage for this season:
WINTER 2020 BLOGGING SCHEDULE
Mario: Magia Record – The Case Files of Jeweler Richard/Kyoko Suiri*
Lenlo: Eizouken ni Wa te wo Dasu na! – Runway de Waratte – Throwback Thursday: Neon Genesis Evangelion
Wooper: Chihayafuru 3 (carry-over) – Dorohedoro
Amun: My Hero Academia 4 (carry-over) – The Case Files of Jeweler Richard/ Kyoko Suiri*
As you can see, this season we writers are trying something a bit different with the blogging. In true “multi-author” spirit, Amun and I will take turns covering Jeweler Richard and Kyoko Suiri each week. Expect an array of different opinions from each of us. In addition, it’s my intention to keep the Weekly Summary running, which means that some shows that aren’t in our blogging list might find their way over there.
