Welcome to the Spring 2019 Anime OT! Will Ikuhara manage to pull off his vision with Sarazanmai, even though he's been given the least amount of run time out of all his animes to do it this time? Will we finally reach the basement in Attack on Titan Season 3 Part 2? Finally, will One Punch Man Season 2 attempt to prove to us that the horrible PV shown to us, as well as the known terrible production schedule for this project are somehow minor issues (they are not) it will overcome? These three questions and more will be answered as this new anime season unfolds over the coming months.
The following are some of the potential highlights for this Spring season of anime. Like always, some of these will turn into duds and unforeseen gems in this season could have been overlooked.

There's a girl. Scrapping a living in the metropolis of Alba City, she's working part time while trying to become a musician. She's always felt like something is missing. Her name is Carole.
There's a girl. Born to a wealthy family in the provincial town of Herschel City, she dreams of becoming a musician, but nobody around her understands. She feels like the loneliest person in the world. Her name is Tuesday.

Fruit Baskets OT
Discussion Ground Rules:
- Please do not discuss piracy.
- Please keep it work-safe.
- Please do not be stupid.
-DONT POST ANITUBER VIDEOS (In Particular the big name ones Gigg, Mother's Basement, Digi etc..(Those three in particular endorsed the scams of Flying Colors and/or Otakucoin) and almost always tend toa only go for low hanging fruit subjects with little discussion to be gained from posting them.

Fruit Baskets OT
Discussion Ground Rules:
- Please do not discuss piracy.
- Please keep it work-safe.
- Please do not be stupid.
-DONT POST ANITUBER VIDEOS (In Particular the big name ones Gigg, Mother's Basement, Digi etc..(Those three in particular endorsed the scams of Flying Colors and/or Otakucoin) and almost always tend toa only go for low hanging fruit subjects with little discussion to be gained from posting them. The ones that actually go into potentially interesting subjects and have a better insight into the actual anime industry tend to be smaller and are okay to post as long as they aren't click bait type videos).
