Another season, another lack of Printer Paper 8 X 11 but let's all wish him well as he's become full degenerate and biding his time with only the horniest of mecha shows.
New Shows And Maybe Some Sequels And Other Stuff I'd Like To Highlight Because I Think It Might Be Interesting
Getter Robo Arc
PV1 PV2 PV3
Hell yeah this one's for me. Getter Robo is back, baby! It's the unfinished final manga arc and if you're worried about continuity with the other anime, don't be since they're largely independent of one another aside from like the original 70s shows. What do you need to know? Well, everyone's batshit insane. That's your Getter Robo primer.
I've been excited for this for a long while and put total faith into the project when that first PV had a 2021 version of Jam Project's king of anisongs 'Heats.' Jun Kawagoe is the director and he's handled most (maybe all?) of the non-Mazinger Dynamic Planning stuff since Imagawa departed Getter Robo Armageddon's production so he knows how the show should definitely be.
Miss Kobayashi's Dragonmaid S
PV1 PV2
Kyoani finally returns and the show is now in Ishihara's more than capable hands so it should deliver. There's not much more I want to add given what happened.
The Case Study of Vanitas
PV
Rumors revolving around The Book of Vanitas, a clockwork grimoire of dubious reputation, draw Noé, a young vampire in search of a friend's salvation, to Paris. What awaits him in the City of Flowers, however, is not long hours treading the pavement or rifling through dusty bookshops in search of the tome. Instead, his quarry comes to him...in the arms of a man claiming to be a vampire doctor! Thrust into a conflict that threatens the peace between humans and vampires, will Noé cast in his lot with the curious and slightly unbalanced Vanitas and his quest to save vampirekind?
I don't know a lot about this one but the manga readers seemed hyped. Between the director's history, a Yuki Kajiura score, and the potential of Bones' A game I'm definitely excited.
Re-Main
PV
Original water polo anime that might have a bit of drama? Sounds good. Let's just hope the gristmill that is current MAPPA doesn't chew up too many people making it.
The Great Jahy Will Not Be Defeated!
PV?
Just pretend they had actually released a PV at the time of this posting and also pretend the broken image link was also intentional because it is. The manga is amusing but I think the key art was maybe pushing it a bit (a lot) for this forum.
The Idaten Deities Only Know Peace
PV
More Mappa fighting shit but it has a nice look. I'll be honest though, Megumi Ogata and Romi Park as the leads is enough to get me to watch anything.
Kageki Shoujo!!
PV1 PV2
I read the synopsis as far as "The Kouka Kageki Musical Drama Academy is a high school that teaches musical theater like that at the Takarazuka Revue" before deciding this will be a good show we will all like so I should mention it here.
Ore, Tsushima
PV
In what's possibly the most efficient show concept this season, it's a cat voiced by Akio Otsuka which frankly is all I need.
Fena: Pirate Princess
PV
Despite getting the impression that Crunchyroll Originals are in a dire state after haphazardly glancing at a twitter headline, the PV for this seems pretty solid. It's got that good adventure vibe.
Uramichi Oniisan
PV
Young adults putting on a happy face for the day job while dealing with the less-than-sunny side of life sure seems like a winning premise.
The Aquatope on White Sand
PV
Looks like more P.A. Works working girls stuff which is really all the selling point you could ask for.
Sonny Boy
PV
It's a Madhouse original anime that features a big cast in a survival situation brought to us by Shingo Natsume. The last original production from Madhouse was pretty good so maybe this one will be too.
The Duke of Death and His Maid
PV
Comedy/romance from JC Staff with that wonky CG Hi Score Girl aesthetic that inexplicably worked and, oh yeah, the Hi Score Girl director too so it'll probably turn out fine.
Other new and returning shows include My LIfe as a Villainess, Magia Record, Tsukipro, Love Live, Higurashi, a Mahouka spinoff, Scarlet Nexus, and your favorite harem manga and/or isekai light novel adaptation I simply failed to mention!
~*~*~From the Desk of N-ko~*~*~
It's come to my attention that "Netflix Jail" is no longer the acceptable terminology and henceforth such shows should be referred to as "still on N-ko's desk" waiting for her approval.
