Pre-season expectation!
Summer; the season of hotness. Ironically there are more erotic anime this season compared to the last two seasons this year. Yet again I have build several expectation that I put onto my watchlist. As usual, I will be doing three reviews and I have sorted the list in ascending order. So then let us start the countdown!
19. Gakkou Gurashi
From a manga that I’m currently following. The premise is quite amusing. Although I don’t expect it to be animated, I see no harm picking this up. Especially since I don’t put high expectation on school manga adaptation.
18. Sore ga Seiyuu
Just like above. The difference is that I don’t familiar with this’s source material, and that I don’t put more high expectation in 4-koma manga adaptation.
17. Okusama ga Seitokaichou!
I heard this title being popular lately, but I haven’t put myself around it because lack of interest. Knowing that it’s getting animated is good chance to catch up.
16. Kuusen Madoushi Kouhosei no Kyoukan
Supernatural, school, and magic is not my favourite genre combination. I decide to pick it up upon familiarising myself with the source material and found that the world is actually quite interesting.
15. Wakaba Girls
Just cause.
14. Classroom☆Crisis
To be honest, this is one of the shows that I find hard to assess just from first glances. Picking this up because of curiousity and the lack of source material.
13. Overlord
One of the light novels that I keep on hearing these past years, although so, I haven’t had the chance to familiarise myself with it. Seeing the quality of this made me even more pessimistic about Madhouse’s adaptation of Onepunch Man in the following season.
12. Kangoku Gakuen
If you know the source material, then there is no reason not to follow this.
11. Monster Musume no iru Nichijou
This is third and the last ecchi anime in my watchlist for this season. Reason to pick up is same as above.
10. Himouto! Umaru-chan
Same as two aboves.
9. Working!!!
Although A-1 was disappointing the last few seasons, I’m willing to give them another chance because of what this series has been the last two seasons. Although usually I don’t put much hopes on 4koma manga adaptation, but I’m giving this one exception.
8. Charlotte
Not much known about this yet, mainly because there isn’t any source material for it. At first glance, I expect it to be something like Itou Junji’s Nazo no Tenkousei. But I might be putting too much hope.
7. Gangsta
Yeeah, frankly there is only one sheer reason why I’m picking this up: because of the lack of crime drama genre in this nor previous season. Having this on board should at least freshen up my watchlist.
6. Ranpo Kitan: Game of Laplace
One of my highlight this season, it’s original source and mystery-supernatural genre immediately piqued my interest and put it among the top place of my watchlist.
5. Chaos Dragon: Sekiryuu Sen'eki
This has been mentioned—and may I emphasise “heavily”—several times during the last two seasons. It’s been said to be collaboration of renowned anime writers and has a lot expectation put into it. I myself can’t see it as a potent work due to minimum info available. Depending on previous information, I pick this up and put it among the top of my watchlist hoping for the best.
4. God Eater
Although post-apocalyptic and monster infestation has become an overused premise, especially on handheld Japanese game. This time expectation arises because of the studio responsible for animating it. I don’t too familiar with the source material, but I have witnessed that this franchise is quite challenging. Although let’s face it, it has been a few times that game-to-anime adaptation is proven to be despicable.
3. Gate: Jieitai Kanochi Nite, Kaku Tatakaeri
Ever since its greenlit two seasons ago, I can’t get enough words to express my hype. Despite A-1—I say it again—has been disappointing lately when comes to action, but damn, it’s GATE.
2. Akagami no Shirayukihime
Bones yet adapting another drama. I am not familiar with the source material, but the premise alone is quite promising to be a good drama, which I don’t see many in current season lineup.
1. Rokka no Yuusha
The highest place in my starting of the season. Supposedly a sleeper hit this season, which is—as usual—is what I after. The trailer alone shows enough promise about the art style, which is a lot like Katanagatari. And that sold me more than enough.
I see quite a lot of potential this season, which is why my watchlist has been overly swollen. By the end of the first week, I should be able to eliminate a lot of them. We will see which the odd will favour in my next episode of Summer Anime Review Part 2!

Pre-season expectation!
Spring has came again this year. And brought along by it is the new seasonal anime shows. By filtering this season's lineup, I have formed a rank of expectation for this season's Japanese present to the world. What are they? Let me start the list!
9. Gunslinger Stratos
Although it started from a generic V-Key game, it piqued my interest. A-1 has been good lately, so maybe now they are making quite a step. The promotional looks decent, and I think there is no harm to pick it up.
8. Dungeon ni Deai wo Motomeru no wa Machigatteiru Darou ka
Another Japan’s take on fantasy. I am not familiar with its source material, so I don’t have any much expectation whatsoever. The deciding factor is that at first glance, it looks like Fractale which I quite enjoyed.
7. Punch Line
The only ecchi-comedy anime I pick up for this season, simply because not many of that this season. Adapted from a game with similar title, which I haven’t played yet because I am not well-paid enough to have a handheld console. I pick this up as a man and #TeamPosterieur.
6. Houkago no Pleiades
The ONA was almost 4 years ago? Damn, it doesn’t feel that long. The ONA wasn’t good or bad, but it’s really in the greyest shade of grey area, also remembering that this is supposedly Gainax making an advertisement for Subaru cars. There are not many options for mahoushoujo anime this season. The best choice is ViVid, but the art looks unappetising, picked this instead.
5. Kekkai Sensen
Another adaptation of a light novel I am not familiar with. Though the premise is somewhat promising; alternate demon-inhabited retro Eastern Pacific. I am not putting a lot of expectation in this, but I am picking it up for curiousity.
4. Owari no Seraph
A developing fandom which I was a member of, I dropped following the source material a few years ago due to slow progression. Knowing this is getting animated made me check the source material again, it doesn’t until halfway of current latest chapter I realised “hey, this is quite good.” Although I can’t be sure how long the cour will be, since the manga doesn’t have any coma in the radius of chapter 11-15 or 22-26.
3. Nagato Yuki-chan no Shoushitsu
Those who are acquaintance with me must have known that I have an interdimensional crush with Nagato Yuki. I followed the source material for some time a few years ago (Which I dropped for a reason I forgot, might picking up again later on), and for this spin-off to be animated raise my hype. Although this spinoff does not animated by the same studio which made me fell in love with Yuki, but eh. Like I said, the source material was good.
2. Hibike Euphonium
KyoAni’s return! After a few season without them, I’m wondering what they have done meanwhile. I don’t hesitate to put this in my watchlist next to Arslan Senki. Remember that KyoAni will find a way.
1. Arslan Senki
“From the author of Fullmetal Alchemist, imperial setting, supposedly epic warfare… what to hate?” as a buff of this kind of thing, I without any doubt put this on top of my watchlist. Let us see how far it will take me.
Watching unironically:- Ninja Slayer – Why? Trigger. ‘Nuff said.
- Tesagure! Bukatsumono - Purupurun Charm to Asobou! – Someone’s recommendation
Things I should follow but don’t- Yahari Ore no Seishun LoveCome wa Macchigatteiru - Zoku – I am not ready to git gud yet.
- Nisekoi – FUCK THIS!!
Saved for marathon- Kin’Iro Mosaic
- Plastic Memories
As I traditionally used to do, I will do three reviews each seasons; one before anything airs, one after one episode aired, and lastly after the season reach to an end. The fact that I have started this list means that we are about to see how the season begins.
