Summer Watching List.
(RSM) = Read Source Martial
Will Watch
Araburu Kisetsu no Otome-domo yo. (RSM): Read it actually as a safety net precaution before adding it to Summer OT's Highlights, it's very Okada feeling so expect the usual drama and Teenagers dealing with their ever changing hormones. Can't really place it under a single prior Okada series as for what it feels quite like.
Dr. Stone (RSM): Fun adventure series with flaws here and there.
Dumbbell Nan Kilo Moteru? (RSM): Fanservice, Manservice and actual somewhat decent fitness advice. Fun fact, it's part of the same universe as Kengan Ashura which is getting an adaption on Netflix this summer as well.
Enen no Shouboutai (RSM): I don't like the manga its pretty generic and not particularly good, but for whatever reason this mangaka's works get visually great adaptions so I'm in just for the fire effects.
Given (RSM): Like Araburu, this was another manga I read as a safety net before thinking of adding it to the Highlights due to the extremely high rate of Shounen Ai/BL anime adaption choices being full of rape/sexual assault treated off as normal. I can say happily that this has avoided that horrible troupe, and the one time it was about to go down the route it was able to swerve away and condemn the concept of that. It's an interesting BL/Shounen Ai manga that focuses on the music, drama(with romance being pushed here) and sometimes slice of life elements of the characters.
Granbelm: Magical girls and Mechas I'm in.
Kanata no Astra (RSM): A change of a pace from Sket Dance's mangaka, going from that into a space mystery show that feels very reminiscent of
in various aspects.
Kawaikereba Hentai demo Suki ni Natte Kuremasu ka? (RSM): Because sometimes trash transcends its limits....
Kengan Ashura (RSM): Oh this is going to be a horrible adaption, a normal anime would have trouble adapting the quality of the art from the manga let alone the PS2-like CG models they've used for this adaption. I'm watching this because I must suffer.
Machikado Mazoku: Seems like a nice slice-of-life comedy type show that I feel I'll need this season.
Vineland Saga (RSM): Hopefully Wit will be able to pull off the action in this series.
Might Watch
Cop Craft
Dungeon ni Deai wo Motomeru no wa Machigatteiru Darou ka II
Joshikousei no Mudazukai (RSM): Not sure if I'll be in the mood for this type of comedy and I feel like the adaption will not get the comedy timing down right.
Lord El-Melloi II-sei no Jikenbo: "Rail Zeppelin" Grace note
Tsuujou Kougeki ga Zentai Kougeki de Ni-kai Kougeki no Okaasan wa Suki desu ka? (RSM): Third and final safety net read, I don't think it will go incest....please don't.
Read Source Material Not Watching Ever
Arifureta Shokugyou de Sekai Saikyou: Positives (of what I remember/read) doesn't try to rationalize/make slavery sound acceptable.Negatives, still part of the ever growing pile of isekai stories that follow the same exact story and set pieces with slight tweeks of isekai LN's that are being published in the dozens each year.
Uchi no Ko no Tame naraba, Ore wa Moshikashitara Maou mo Taoseru kamo Shirenai.: Wasn't too into to it while reading it, then the comfirmation that it pulls the ever feared Usagi Drop made me drop this series and never go anywhere near it again.
