Welcome to the Summer 2019 Anime OT! The strongly rumored Dragon Ball Super Season 2 is nowhere to be found this season, so all other series can breathe a sign of relief avoiding to clash with that juggernaut when it comes to mind-share this season. Will the fifth season of Symphogear somehow become ever more outrageous and pure anime then the prior seasons? Will this adaption of Fire Force be somewhat tainted do to the likely forced darkening/anti-epilepsy changes shown in the PV? Finally the most important question we must ask ourselves for this season, will Keiki find his panty Cinderella in Hensuki: Are you willing to fall in love with a pervert, as long as she's a cutie? ? All this and more will unfold as this new season occurs!
The following are some of the potential highlights for this Summer season of anime. Like always, some of these will turn into duds and unforeseen gems in this season could have been overlooked.
Included new into this season of the highlights is the Ecchi/Gore warnings which range from High through None. These are the somewhat expected levels of these two potentially off-putting aspects of an anime in each of the highlighted shows. These are iffy ranges, that could be completely thrown off both by changes from the source material and director choices. This goes for even more so for original anime or stuff that is being adapted based off properties that have no translations in the west. So, don't take them as the gospel but rather as an expected range of what you may find in each of these shows.

With the only attempt of going that route during the series being called out as fucking wrong and is strongly frowned upon to put nicely. This is a nice change for this genre assuming the anime adaptation doesn't add anything unsettling that wasn't in the source material.
