Fall 2018 Predictions
Anime Relations:
Yagate Kimi ni Naru
Another season, more predictions/expectations. I haven't counted or anything, but it felt like I did pretty bad in Summer. Not sure if that's a good or a bad thing though...
This is published kinda late cause I was lazy but I'll be putting my thoughts from before I watched anything.
9
Yagate Kimi ni Naru - Probably the anime I am most excited about and what I predict to like the most. I've read a bit of the manga and there's hella yuri which is something I enjoy. I wasn't really far enough to delve into a lot of the drama but I hear it's actually well done (unlike Citrus) so I'm really looking forward to it. The visuals (at least background) were quite stunning from what I saw in the PV as well.
8
Goblin Slayer - A friend of mine has been strongly advocating for this anime and I tend to like similar things to him so I am guessing I'll like this a fair bit. From what I can tell and some information I saw online, it looks like a darker take on a fantasy anime. Not exactly sure how dark it gets, but even if it ends up not being as good as my friend made it out to be, at least the heroines in the key visual still look cute.
Release the Spyce - I enjoyed Princess Principal so I was pretty pumped when I heard about Release the Spyce. Not sure if this will be quite as serious as Princess Principal, but even if it wasn't, I'd be pretty down for some cute girls doing cute spy things. To add to my excitement is the fact that the character designer for this show is none other than the creator of Yuru Yuri, namori. She has some of the cutest designs ever, so it's very hard to see me not enjoying this one way or another.
Tonari no Kyuuketsuki-san - I probably would've expected less from this show had I not watched the PV. The PV made it seem like your standard CGDCT slice-of-life comedy with yuri elements which I basically unanimously enjoy (and rate an 8 by almost default). The vampire appears to be voiced by Gab from Gabriel Dropout (seems like a similar type of character too) which I also am digging. Might I add, the character designs are super adorable. Looks like my comfy and relaxation show for the season.
Zombieland Saga - Considering there is basically no information about this show, pretty hard to justify me expecting quite a bit from this show already. However, I did see a thread on reddit that said something about 96% positive viewership rating at the pre-airing of Zombieland Saga in Japan AND that everyone at the theatre promised to keep quiet about what happens. I see cute girls on the key visual so I'm kind of expecting maybe a Gakkou Gurashi kinda thing, but maybe that's just what they want us to think :thinking:.
7
Kishuku Gakkou no Juliet - I have actually read a bit of the manga for this and I really liked what I read. Juliet is SUPER DUPER adorable and even though the setting may not be super unique and there are some cliches, I enjoyed what I read of it. and while I do still think Juliet is best girl (after about 20 chapters), the girls that get introduced later are all great in their own ways. Since my enjoyment for harem type shows is almost solely based on the female cast, I do predict that I will enjoy this adaptation as long as they don't completely butcher it.
Sword Art Online: Alicization - While I'm not the biggest fan of SAO, I don't really consider myself a SAO hater either. I actually really enjoyed the Yuuki arc and I've heard from lots of people online that Alicization is the best SAO arc etc etc. Thus, I'll go into this expecting good things and hopefully this adaptation doesn't disappoint.
Toaru Majutsu no Index III - Similar to SAO: Alicization, while I didn't dislike the previous Index seasons, I'm not really a fan either (I much prefer Railgun). However, I have read that season III should animate a much more entertaining arc in the Index novels so I'm looking forward to that. Probably no Misaki though so that sucks :<
Uchi no Maid ga Uzasugiru - Looks like some cute girl comedy show. The dynamic is nothing too new (lolicon female) but I can definitely see this being a fun watch. Visuals are pretty cute too so that's a plus. I didn't watch the PV for this though so not completely sure what to expect but 7 is a pretty safe estimate for cute girls with comedy.
Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken - Not too sure what to expect. The cover for the LN has a cute girl though and whenever a new chapter of this releases, the discussion threads on /r/manga end up relatively high up so can't be that bad right? Also I don't really hate isekais or anything like a lot of people seem to due to oversaturation or whatnot.
6
Anima Yell! - Cute girls so I'll definitely be checking this out. It's about cheerleading though and it seems kinda dank, but cute girls doing cute cheerleading things sounds like it's within my ballpark of interests.
Seishun Buta Yarou wa Bunny Girl Senpai no Yume wo Minai - I've read a few chapters of the manga for this and didn't seem too special or anything. The senpai is pretty eroi though and reminds me of a Yukinoshita/Senjougahara type character which I tend to like so at the very least, it has that going for it, right? Anyways, not expecting too much out of this but always glad to see that eroi senpai.
SSSS.Gridman - The Western fanbase seems to really like Trigger, but I'm honestly pretty whatever on them. Not that I think poorly of them, but I'm just not super hyped about their works or anything. That being said though, I'll usually try them out even if they might not exactly be my cup of tea (not the biggest mecha fan). Not exactly sure what to expect since apparently this is based on some really old anime/manga or something? #yolo
5
Senran Kagura Shinovi Master: Tokyo Youma-hen - Sequel except now it has my new best girl, Yumi (at least I think it does). Still, I don't really see it being that much better than S1 so I'll just guess around the same.
Conception - The synopsis for this sounded hella dank (impregnating cute girls wew) and there are cute girls on the key visual so consider me sold. The game was by Spike Chunsoft too which had some part in the Danganronpa series I think so it has that going for it too I guess.
4
Ore ga Suki nano wa Imouto dakedo Imouto ja Nai - Do you ever scroll down the list of seasonal anime and then you see that anime that looks like it'll be totally shit? Well this season for me, it was this show. The synopsis and key visual scream generic harem which is what I try my best to watch all of every season so I'm definitely in there. Basically I have no expectations for this though (at least, no good expectations).
3
Tokyo Ghoul:re 2nd Season - I heard they were going to animate like over 100 chapters in like 1 cour. Sounds like disaster in the making so yeah. It's a shame cause I think the setting for Re: is actually more interesting than the original series.
