What will you be watching in Winter 2020?

[DANDAN_THE_DANDAN]

Well I'm super late this time but anyways... New year, new me! Or so they say as I sleep with the same, dirty Megumin body pillow I bought last year using my McDonald's minimum wage salary...

Anyways, for the first time in practicslly forever... THERE ARE NO ISEKAIS THIS SEASON!! 🎉
^{Buuuuut the otome isekai subgenre is gonna begin in the season after this so don't worry you weebs.}

Anyways, as usual - https://www.livechart.me/winter-2020/all


Watching:
-Plunderer (Saw the first two episodes, looks interesting.)
-Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu: Shin Henshuu-ban (They're gonna include cut content in this rerun, plus I can watch Rem suffer again so why not.)
-Isekai Quartet 2
-Rikei ga Koi ni Ochita no de Shoumei Shite Mita. (Of Wotakoi thaught me anything it's that adult romcom is super wholesome)
-Kyokou Suiri (seasonal dose of fantasy)
-Darwin's Game
-Somali to Mori no Kamisama (let's hope this doesn't go Usagi Drop on us unlike last season's father-daughter anime)
-Itai no wa Iya nano de Bougyoryoku ni Kyokufuri Shitai to Omoimasu. (Read the manga, super cute)
-Infinite Dendrogram
-Nekopara (TV) (YES)
-ID:INVADED (looks cool, honestly)
-Jibaku Shounen Hanako-kun (I actually wanted to binge the manga but haven't gotten around it yet.)
-Magia Record: Mahou Shoujo Madoka★Magica Gaiden (more Madoka!)
-Koisuru Asteroid (got this recommended by a Discord friend)

Movies
-Goblin Slayer: Goblin's Crown
-Boku no Hero Academia the Movie - Heroes: Rising
-Made in Abyss: Fukaki Tamashii no Reimei (time to scream in terror again!)

OVAs
-Dungeon ni Deai wo Motomeru no wa Machigatteiru no Darou ka II OVA
-One Punch Man Season 2 Specials
-Naka no Hito Genome [Jikkyouchuu]: Knots of Memories (I actually really like this anime, looking forward to s2.)

Maybe:
-Majutsushi Orphen Hagure Tabi
-Dorohedoro
-Ishuzoku Reviewers (not really interested in ecchi rn but who knows)
-Kuutei Dragons (basically whale hunting but dragons)
-Kaijuu no Kodomo (not sure what to expect but synopsis sounds cool)
-Pet (basically JoJo stands but not)
-Boku no Tonari ni Ankoku Hankaishin ga Imasu. (wait a minute this is just Chuubyou Gekihatsu Boy from last season).
-Murenase! Seton Gakuen

Leftovers
-My Hero Academia
-SAO: Alicization
-Babylon (super excited for the third arc)

On hold:
-Nanatsu no Taizai: Kamigami no Gekirin (animation is just so dissapointing I didn't notice that I stopped bothering to keep up-to-date.)

Watch later hell:
-Fate/Grand Order: Zettai Majuu Sensen Babylonia (I'll probably just watch 2 eps a week at this point.)
-Toaru Kagaku no Railgun T (saw s1 of Index, rather boring. People say that its spinoffs are significantly better tho so this is gonna be in the list.)
-Heya Camp△
-Hibike! Euphonium Movie: Chikai no Finale


I think I'm not gonna watch anything (or at least most of it) for the next 2 weeks tho cause finals are hell. I got a 4 weeks break after that tho so Imma be binging a ton. So what about you guys?

[DANDAN_THE_DANDAN]

Spoiler

1st priority:

One Punch Man
Shingeki no Kyojin
Made in Abyss
Steins: Gate
Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood
Code: Geass
Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann
Death Note
RE:CREATORS
Anohana

2nd priority:

Re: Zero
Konosuba
The Saga of Tanya the Evil
Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba
Kaguya-same: Love is War
A Place Further Than the Universe
Violet Evergarden
March Comes in like a Lion

3rd priority:

Ah yes I see that we have degeneratize this one as well. _{^{nice tastes. 3rd priority.}}

Avoid Fate and Monogatari series at all costs unless you're able to sink in 100+ hours. But I do recommend them at the same level as 1st priority.

@DANDAN_THE_DANDAN I give mah thanks~

 

[gomichandesu]

Definitely Egg Car

 

[crazybars]

@axelTHEGREAT

Wut?


How can you ignore the power of the Seagulls!!

[Tennouji]

I'm watching boufuri for weekly healing.

 

[421cookies]

If it isn't gay or shit fantasy then I'm most likely watching it.

KoiAs aots (or maybe Magireco if they somehow connect with both Madomagi and the game story.)

 

[DANDAN_THE_DANDAN]

@421cookies Personally recommend Plunderer and Darwin's Game. Haven't seen everything that came out so far cause finals but I watched those two and they're great. Darwin's Game has a very strong start so start with that.

 

[421cookies]

@DANDAN_THE_DANDAN Well, It's Minazuki Suu, no way I'm not gonna watch it. For Darwin game, I always put 1 hour headstart anime for later.

Also, why aren't 22/7, OshiBudou, Runway, and sb69 in your list yet

 

[DANDAN_THE_DANDAN]

@421cookies Little update, ID:Invaded is great. Pick that up too. Probably my second favourite of the season

 

[Alraisen]

Magia Record disappointed me after two episodes. I've seen worse. Maybe I'll check out the Masaaki Yuasa's Eizouken ni te wo dasuna!

 

[421cookies]

Gonna check ID:invaded since it's on abema tonight.
I do find magireco pretty good though. Maybe I got biased because I did binged the game just right before it on air so I noticed lot of details though. dunno.
22/7 sucks. I'm really wanna kill Akimoto Yasushi for crushing such good visual.

Also, my personal top 3 as of now:
OshiBudou
Seton
MagiReco

 

[May_Lily]

Here is what I will be watching this winter season, along with shows I am uncertain of:

Watching

22/7 produce by A-1 Pictures; originally by Yasushi Akimoto, Aniplex, and Sony Music Records

Asteroid in Love by Doga Kobo; originally by Quro


BOFURI: I Don't Want to Get Hurt, so I'll Max Out My Defense produce by Silver Link; originally by Yuumikan – I try to read the original novel before this anime came out but I was annoy by the poor translation.

Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken! produce Science Saru; originally by Sumito Ōwara – I have read good things about the story and how the animation was handled for this one.

Magia Record: Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story produce by Shaft; originally by f4samurai

Nekopara – produce by Felix Film; originally by Neko Works – Mainly for this character

number24 by Magic Capsule - Might likely have a similar appeal to Eight Bit's Stars Align in terms of the interaction between the characters.

Room Camp by C-Station; originally by AfroI enjoy the first season so I am giving this a watch.

Show By Rock!! Mashumairesh!! produce by Kinema Citrus; originally by Geechs – Another show I am watching mainly for the eye candy of a particular character. However it would seem the show as some good ratings so perhaps this might be good then I imagine.

Smile Down the Runway produce by Ezo'la; originally by Kotoba Inoya – I click with the premise with this.

Somali and the Forest Spirit produce by Satelight; originally by Yako Gureishi – This looks like something I would like.

The Case Files of Jeweler Richard produce by Shuka; originally by Nanako Tsujimura – A nice, relaxing show I can watch

Toilet-Bound Hanako-kun produce by Lerche; originally by Iro Aida – I heard really good things about it, and I like the possible theme it might be going for.

Uchitama?! have you seen my Tama? produce by MAPPA and Lapin Track; originally by Sony Creative Products Inc. – I remember watching Tama and Friends produce by Group TAC when I was a child

Leftovers

Pocket Monsters produce by Team Kato of OML, Inc.; original concept by Satoshi Taijiri and Ken Sugimori This was my third favorite anime of last season for it reminded me of a time when I was a child enthusiastic about non-human animals. Plus I am likin the new format this new Pokemon anime is going with so far.

Welcome to Demon School Iruma-kun produce by Bandai Namco Pictures; originally by Osamu Nishi - I am liking this series the more I watch it so far.

Uncertain

A3! Season Spring & Summer by P.A. Works, Studio 3Hz; original creator unknown at this time - Mainly because the anime has not broadcasted yet and so there no preview reviews of this show at the moment to know if the series is worth a watch for me or not, but I do like the premise. It reminds me Troyca's Idolish7 which I enjoyed.

ID: Invaded by NAZ

If My Favorite Pop Idol Made It To The Budokan, I Would Die produce by Eight Bit; originally by Auri Hirao

Infinite Dendrogram produce by NAZ ;originally by Sakon Kaidō

In/Spectre produce by Brain's Base; originally by Kyo Shirodaira, Hiro Kiyohara, and Chasiba Katase

Science Fell in Love, So I Tried to Prove It by Zero-G; originally by Alifred Yamamoto - As someone who is aiming to be a scientist, the premise for this bothers me a bit

Sorcerous Stabber Orphen produce by Studio Deen; originally by Yoshinobu Akita and Yuuya Kusaka

I do not count movies as being apart of the anime season so I will stop here.

 

[DANDAN_THE_DANDAN]

@May_Lily ID:Invaded is a sci-fi detective thriller about an agency hunting serial killers by lurking in their subconscious to search for clues about their identity, which I don't think you're gonna like based on your watchlist lol. But if you do like that, I also recommend Darwin's Game which is really awesome and showing a lot of potential so far. So far these two are my favs of the season.

That aside, Infinite Dendogram hasn't shown any potential in ep 1. It's just cliche MC saves a little girl, really bad way to start an anime. I thought Pet was cool at first but I was misguided; thought I'd be getting a supernatural street fight anime but it's more seinen-orientated and about mind control and the Yakuza, not my cup of tea. I'll drop these two and wait for 6 weeks to hear people's opinions of it before making the decision.

Also, Somali is so wholesome. I don't think this one is gonna go Usagi Drop so I'll watch till the end.

 

[421cookies]

Update
Id:invaded, cool at first but well, too edgy it remind me of psycho pass. And it hurts my brain so, pass I guess.
Darwin game, not really that good but, it's fun and easy to watch so gonna continue when I got free time.

Ha! Ha! 😆When I do take a look at my watch list I see what you mean. I am familiar with the plot of the story, but the reason why I list ID: Invaded on the list of anime I am uncertain to try is because on one hand I do like mystery (specifically detective stories), but the tone of the story is not to my preference base on what I read about it's first episode. I was thinking of taking a wait and see approach to see what others think of the story before deciding whether I should give this one a try or not.

Also, Somali is so wholesome. I don't think this one is gonna go Usagi Drop so I'll watch till the end.

One of reviews I read concerning Somali was written by someone who had a bad experience with Bunny Drop, as well as with another anime, and I did see you mention something about that on your first post? Did Bunny Drop really go that far? I do think I have volume one of the manga, but I have never read it.

 

[DANDAN_THE_DANDAN]

@May_Lily In Usagi Drop,

Spoiler

the father ends up marrying his adopted daughter.

and yeah that pretty much blue balled a lot of people. Aparantly it was the same with demon Lord daughter.
