The Fall 2019 anime schedule is INSANE.
This has to be one of the most, if not THE most stacked season of anime ever.
Oresuki is a great comedy about the pain and anger that comes with being friend zoned.
I love how Jor o switches to English to express his anger.
Swearing in Japanese is incredibly difficult and you can’t really drive the point home
sometimes, so Joro switching to English to call these girls bitches is hilarious to me.
I know the pain of being friend zoned, and when the girl you like touches your shoulder
and you know there’s no romantic implications behind it…ugh.
Teenage me feels this way too much.
Ahiru no Sora is another one I’m following extremely closely.
I just finished episode 3 before recording this video.
As someone who loves Kuroko’s Basketball, I think Ahiru no Sora is the true spiritual
successor to Slam Dunk.
This one is gonna take the Haikyuu approach, where it still has that shonen element to
it, but it remains grounded in the fundamentals of the game, and it really honors the purity
and art of the sport, whereas Kuroko was a bit exaggerated…in a good way, but its kinda
like they could have put those character types in any sport and it would have worked, basketball
was just the one they landed on.
And I still have Pet, Beastars, No Guns Life and so many more on my list to get to.
Not to mention, Dr. Stone is still going.
So is Fire Force, although I’m cooling off of that a little bit.
It’s just not grabbing me the way it did at the beginning.
But I love Dr. Stone a little more each week.
It just makes you really appreciate how far we’ve come.
As someone who is also afflicted with the fuzzy sickness, seeing Suika and Jinro’s
faces light up the first time they put on a pair of glasses and can finally see clearly,
really puts things into perspective and makes you realize the things we take for granted
and helps to better appreciate the time that we live in.
Although, there are those who would rather spend that time, complaining about animated
tiddies.
So, My Hero Academia, obviously the most-anticipated anime of the fall season, returning for season
4.
And it won me back.
I have to admit, I kinda lost my passion for the series during season 3.
I was an evangelist for this anime for so many years, but a couple things, namely the
fight between All-Might and All for One.
I understand what the fight meant, I got its symbolism, but it just kind of didn’t really
do for me, for reasons I won’t get into right now.
But this recap premiere, I gotta say it got me excited again.
I’m ready for Overhaul, I’m ready for Class 1-A to take the lead.
I’m just expecting a lot this time around, and I truly believe Studio Bones will deliver.
Seven Deadly Sins showed how to NOT do a season premiere, at least in Japan.
They replaced blood with what looks like jizz for Japanese TV.
I still don’t understand the things they choose to censor and NOT censor here.
So weird.
We Never Learn is back, and I think Asumi is finally growing on me.
I’ve never been to a maid cafe, mainly because I hear its ridiculously expensive and my wife
won’t go with me, but I’m getting closer to pulling the trigger, and I think Asumi
is to thank for that.
But still…Team Takemoto all the way.
Her Blue Sky is currently in theaters here in Japan, but going would be a complete waste
of money because obviously there’s not gonna be any English subs and my Japanese is still
kindergarten level despite going on two and a half years living here, but it’s from
the creators of Anohana, AND its a time-travel anime which is a double win.
If there’s time travel, I have to watch it.
The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya is phenomenal, Erased is another favorite.
So I can’t wait for KissAnime to get their hands on this one…um, cuz I need it!
Then you’ve got Food Wars, and SAO which are big franchises.
Not my particular cup of tea, but those each have a rather large following.
I didn’t even get into the slew of Isekai anime coming, mainly because I’m not watching
any of them, because I’m done.
I am done.
I have to take a stand.
The pro-wrestling one kind of makes me chuckle at the thought of it, but enough is enough
and even just the titles are so uninspired.
If we truly want to call this a golden age of anime, we need to trim the fat, and this
slop bucket of Isekai needs to stop immediately.
Love to know your thoughts.
Is this the single greatest batch of anime in one season in your opinion?
Tell me which titles you’ll be watching in the comments below.
I will be back again soon.
But until then…sayonara, sucks.
