 |
| WORKING !!! |
 |
| Wait Elsword and Closers are getting an anime adaption? I get to see my man Jay in full animation? Hype. Also, Working!!!, Kizumonogatari, Dagashi Kashi and Yu Gi Oh hype |
| What!!!!!!!!!!!!!!??????????????? ELSWORD IS GETTING ANIME ADAPTATION!!!!!!!??????? Not sure if this famous Korean MMORPG game adapted into anime in Korea studio? |
| Do you play Azure Lane? Then please join my fanclub https://myanimelist.net/clubs.php?cid=74907 |
| Chain Chronicle, Divine Gate, Phantom World, Elsword, Closers and Aripel all look good to me. Glad to see a lot of fantasy/action anime I will also watch Gate and Akagami 2nd seasons The others looking boring. |
| Upon seeing the PV for Sekkou Boys I think I'm going to give it a shot now, this looks pretty funny, kind of reminds me of Saint Onii-san and Miss Monochrome in a way. Musaigen no Phantom World hype. Really looking forward to watching it. |

| Elsword, Closers and Aripel are getting anime adaptations? For what purpose? Remake MapleStory. Excited for Chain Chronicle, wonder just what they are going to do, love these high fantasy shows. Divine Gate looks better than expected, surprisingly faithful character designs and art, probably still turn into a trainwreck tho. Stil gotta catch up to Akagami, dat thumbail so cute. Phantom World looks delish, damn KyoAni. Can't wait for Gate S2 too, cast was just so likable and fun. Sekkou Boys looks like it'll be fun too. |

Elsword anime will suck because the story mode is super long and the job change is very complicated and it will break the immersion of the story. |

Elsword anime will suck because the story mode is super long and the job change is very complicated and it will break the immersion of the story. Considering how each job change has a different story, wonder how they will tackle that. And a Maplestory anime adaption will always be bad. It has no story to even work with other than the whole bland Black Magician thing. I can see Closers doing good since it has good characters like Jay (even though the plot is cliche) but since this is a game promotion animation, it will most likely be shit as well. |

Character connections and stories connect on so many levels and in such intricate ways that yes, it'd suck, but because they'd never get it right (hell, the game doesn't get it right most of the time and has plot holes everywhere and keeps getting retconned with each new update). Plot itself is still fairly simple with there just being a bad guy they have to defeat but it's really rich outside of that. |

If you are talking about the Heroes and Cygnus Knights, sure that could work somewhat. I've been out of the loop for all the new characters for 4-5 years now ever since I quit for good. If we are talking about adventurers, there is literally nothing to do. |

You could just forget everyone else and focus only on the Heroes' story and make something big out of that, not only do you have their fight leading up to the Black Mage but how they deal with their loss and come back centuries later. |
|
| New Kizumonogatari CM looks glorious! Aside from that and Lord of the Takanashi, nothing really stands out. |
 |
| Chain Chronicle animation O________O WOW (Btw the game is really good) |
| Kizumonogatari is pure hype... and is only a video about Hanekawa. Gate PV doesn't show much, Dagashi Kashi looks fine, Prince of Stride has a really good animation and Divine Gate looks cool. Seems decent. |
 |
| Woooooooooah, Elsword?? What job paths will they have the characters take? and to what limits will they rush the shit out of it? |
| Hmmm January seems promising. Though I won't get my hopes up. |
| Big Order (TV):great anime or greatest anime? |

| I can already tell that Tanaka-kun wa Itsumo Kedaruge will be my favorite of these. |
| Chain Chronicle have a great animation i think i will watch it |
 |
| What's with all the game adaptions? That can't be good ... The only one that even looks decent to me is Divine Gate, and it'll probably be mediocre (Chain Chronicle's animation looks pretty good, as well). I will definitely be watching the second seasons for Shirayuki and GATE, and I'll probably check out Dagashi Kashi as well. And I'm watching Kizumono for sure. Other than that, nothing really seems appealing. Can't decide if Sekkou Boys looks funny or retarded. Or both. |
| A bunch of game adaptations. Chain Chronicle still alive although I think it might air Spring at best, Summer more likely. Can't wait for Kizumonogatari as well as the sequels. Dagashi Kashi looks like it might be fun as well. |

trabeus1 said: the most least excited season of the last 3 years For me its quite the opposite. Its the most exciting season for me since Winter 2014. There are tonnes of new animes that grabbed me by the PV, synopsis and the poster. + Gate 2nd season!!! |
 |
| Looks like they're going for Lork Knight on Elsword, huh? That's good. |
 |
| Musaigen Phantom World is probably exactly what I needed after Amaburi goodness! Cannot get enough of KyoAni girls! Dagashi Kashi could be a fun series. So yeah, probably gonna watch it. |
| Stay Home and Wash Your Hands. Protect Yourself. Protect Your Loved Ones. Protect Your Community and Help Defeat Coronavirus. |
| excited for some of the title, can't wait for kizumonogatari and elsword getting an anime!? when did they announce it? anyway looking forward to it |
 |
| Aww yeah more Working! |
| :) |
| Shirayukihime and Gate ヽ(´∀｀)ﾉ |

 |
| Quite a lot of new shows that have potential. Though no sure things. Still I have plenty that will be continuing from this season that will ensure I have enough to watch (Haikyuu, Gundam, Utawarerumono, Gintama, Heavy Object) plus second seasons of Gate, AssClass and Snow White. |
| S E K K O U B O Y S LETS GO! <--- Fucking stuck in my head now! |
|
| I'm here just for the pure awesomeness of Yugioh GODanimation and Gate 2nd season cuz Rory. No seriously, I'm not really interested in game anime adaptions.. I'll watch Kizumonogatari whenever the hell I finish the 2nd season. |
