In this thread, you'll find a comprehensive list of Winter 2018 titles with an accompanying promotional video (PV), commercial (CM), or trailer. This post will be updated to include a PV, CM, or trailer for titles that are missing one, leading up to the start of the season. Titles that already have a video embedded will instead have their newly released videos added to the video tab in their respective entries. For convenience, the video tab can be accessed via the additional videos link next to the embedded video. If a title is missing a video, feel free to post it in this thread.

• Series are sorted by airing date of the first episode. Kids' series are not listed.
• One video of each anime has been selected and embedded under the accompany spoiler for an easy overview (except if the sources are not from YouTube).

Oh boi, what a weak season this will be.
Too much: Slice of Life / Comedy / School / Magic.

Once we'll have a season with a more serious tone i suppose.

Dec 31, 2017 5:58 PM by Vargr

Beatless,Darling in the franXX,overlord 2 and late encore are already on my list,waiting to me marked completed.

Dec 24, 2017 8:51 PM by cedric_pires

please give i7 a try! you'll be in for a treat if you're just expecting a generic idol series.

Dec 23, 2017 9:10 PM by calmato

Ah, ok, I'm sorry, as my profile suggest, I didnt koin until the end of spring season, and only started using this site regularly at the start of that anime season, so I didnt knew.

Dec 23, 2017 6:25 AM by Klefki_of_Awsome

@Klefki_of_Awsome Spiritpact 2 will not be added because there will only be Chinese ver. added under the title Ling Qi 2. (As its first season was not added to PV forum's list then too)

Dec 22, 2017 9:26 PM by tsubasalover

Could someone please add Spiritpact 2, it was anounced today for February 24 2018, thanks.

Dec 22, 2017 6:09 PM by Klefki_of_Awsome

Pop Team Epic should be a grand slam, Violet Evergarden is a begrudging watch until it proves me right that it's going to be all style and no substance - and/ or too pretentious for its own good. I want KyoAni to come back though. Back to life. After Hyouka they've been putting the D in Downhill. They need a good burn lotion.

Dec 21, 2017 3:51 AM by Red_Tuesday

Excited:
Violet Evergarden
Hakumei to Mikochi
Devilman: Crybaby
Poputepipikku
Karakai Jouzu no Takagi-san

Will keep an eye on and see if I like anything I'm seeing:
B: The Beginning
Killing Bites
Ryuuou no Oshigoto!
Kokkoku
Gakuen Babysitters
Mitsuboshi Colors
Koi wa Ameagari no You ni

Dec 21, 2017 2:49 AM by alpha_shadow

@DatRandomDude I have updated the list with Koi wa Ameagari no You ni on proper position since it has been officially announced.

@DatRandomDude May I ask for the source (Unless it's leaked)? I've been checking the official anime site and Twitter recently and it hasn't been updated with the airing schedule yet. I'm guessing it will be announced officially this week with a new pv as Inuyashiki is ending this week.

Got it from a site who got a leak lel

Deleted my previous post. After watching a few more PVs, here's the new list.

Definitely watching:

Poptepipic
Violet Evergarden
Hakumei to Mikochi
Darling in the Franxx
Junji Itou: The Collection

Interested in:

Yuru Camp
Sora Yori mo Tooi Bansho
Mitsuboshi Colors
Beatless
Kokkoku

Might give it a try:

Slow Start
Citrus
Ramen Daisuki Koizumi-san (if it's a short one)

Probably binge watch it later:
Idolish7

This winter is already going to be busy as hell, so it's probably not the final list.

Good to see so many interesting shows, but Overlord II will be a blast from start to finish

Dec 18, 2017 8:15 AM by bahamutns

Dec 17, 2017 10:18 AM by Sad

From what I found, it starts on 7th January 2018.

Dec 17, 2017 8:22 AM by gr8_nonsense

The anime next season looks amazing, my eyes burnt from the amazing art
