I'll book my monday schedule for Takagi-san.

Uchuu yori mo Tooi Basho is already confirmed for January 2

I'm actually hyped for winter.

Overlord II hype!

Too many Hype material shows! But I am keeping my eye on new Cardcaptor series and Hakyuu Houshin Engi remake and Dagashi Kagi s2.

Gakuen Babysitters, 25-sai no Joshikousei, Karakai Jouzu no Takagi-san and Violet Evergarden is all I'll be following for Winter'18. Might even try Koi wa Ameagari no You ni out; still I'm not quite sure since the premise is not something by my liking so will see anyway.

what a cute way to organize the PVs

Violet Evergarden, Clear Card-hen, Koi wa Ameagari, Babysitters are definitely in my watchlist. Mitsuboshi Colors, Ramen Daisuki Koizumi-san and Takagi-san if I find time squeeze in a couple of more shows. Not sure about Fate/Extra. I will give other shows a chance after several episodes have aired and from the reaction/ratings from MAL users.

I read Citrus manga in the past so I know it is a proper shoujo ai so shoujo ai fans can look forward to that.

My self is now ready to see new titles this Winter season. It would be great again!

Nanatsu no Taizai - fqte/eztra... UMU! - Overlord 2

i'm interested in Koi wa Ameagari no You ni
it have a cute female lead

also citrus ,i heard is the best yuri manga

I'm ready for the hyped! Especially the Masterpiece Saiki Kusuo S2.

I really want to see action: I'll see Killing Bits, Beatless, some Sci-Fi like Kokkoku. The new season of cardcaptor Sakura, Fate Extra Overlord and the last, not least, Violet Evergarden. The animation is really out of the reality, but the story for me by the synopsis sounded somewhat common. The proposal is not new. Just to quote an author whose proposal at least seems to be the origin of the thing, Isaac Asimov. I, in particular, see nothing much in rejecting a proposal, as long as they know how to create a narrative at least a little different and well built.

My biggest problem is going to be drama. I do not like drama.

>No Devilman

Crude list...

The manga adaptations looks good tbh, excited for the new Cardcaptor Sakura, Nanatsu no Taizai, and Hakumei to Mikochi.

Violet Evergarden's PV looks the best out of those imo.

Looking forward to Ouvaalourdo II and Desu Machi.

A lot of cool stuff to expect from the winter season. Besides sequels, I guess I'm excited for Kokkoku the most because it seems intriguing and has this old-school vibe to it.

So I got one anime on a Tuesday, and the rest of the anime I want to watch will be on the weekend. Great! Now we wait for the airing dates for Violet Evergarden, Overlord II, and Nanatsu no Bitoku...

Meh, at first glance nothing catches my attention, except for violet evergarden, let's hope it is as good as that score it has.

List of shows seems to be incomplete. Grancrest Senki is missing, for instance, and I'm pretty sure it has a release date and PV.

Where is Grancrest Senki, and Gintama. Gin no Tamashii-hen at?

This season has multiple shows that can be gems however it's hard to say if I'll keep up with them through out the broadcast or not. :/

I guess because it's an ONA and no TV series.. But yeah, that's the one I'm looking forward to the most

I wonder when Nanatsu no Taizai and Violet Evergarden will be released on Netflix.. my guess would be in May. But I can wait, even tho it sucks
On one hand I'm excited for Darling in the FranXX, just because it's Trigger. But on the other I'm very sceptical, the PVs weren't any convincing
Pop Team Epic will be anime of the century (if it really does come out and they aren't trolling)

Yuru Camp and Sora yori mo Tooi Basho seem to be some nice SoL's, looking forward to those.

Citrus, Kokkoku, Ito Junji Collection are on my list, but I don't have high expectations for those

Grancrest Senki added to the list, though PV cannot really added because it's region-locked.

Gintama (2018) (a.k.a Gintama: Gin no Tamashii-hen) db is still in quene.

Very excited to watch :

Citrus (Although i'm not sure about the staff, but i love the manga.)
Darling in the FranXX

Should be interesting :

Cardcaptor Sakura: Clear Card-hen
Violet Evergarden
Hakumei to Mikochi
Koi wa Ameagari no You ni
Gakuen Babysitters
Mitsuboshi Colors

Don't really have any hope but i'll give them a try :

Beatless
Nanatsu no Bitoku
Death March kara Hajimaru Isekai Kyousoukyoku
Grancrest Senki

Lots of interesting stuff this season! Even the ones with trashy premises actually look pretty fun and unique.

This version seems accessible to me:

@DeepTime Added, though might have to switch to new one since this version is PV 1 and PV 2 has already out.

Gintama: Gin no Tamashii-hen already has a date so it just needs to be approved next, and I Think the PV comes tomorrow or sunday

Overlord is the only thing I'm looking forward to. Time to catch up on some shows.

Hmm,
Iseikai, check.
New anime everyone is hyped for, check.
Sequel everyone is hyped for, check.
Sequel everyone waited forever for, check.
Sequel no one cares about, check.
Romcom, check.
Borderline hentai, check.
Some-what-fked-up-romcom, check.
5-min shorts, check.
Moe cafe, check.
Battle-royale (aka fate/), check.
Possible dark horse, check.

About 20 other anime you'll drop after first minute, check.

Yeap, looks like another typical season that you'll most likely forget about by the start of next one, with the exception of that 1 series that sticks for a bit longer.

You're killing me Winter 2018...

ah I see, I think the reason for the difference is because I think Silver Soul and Porori are being advertised as 2 different things(compared to the SA and FS arc which was still advertised as the 2015 anime) kinda like a Yuki Yunna seadon 2 situation with it having a anime in the same cour bit their is separate entry's for the first 6 Episodes and the last 6 episodes

Just watched the PV of Violet, so violet evergarden's MC is an automaton then? Heeeh that's actually making things a bit more interesting to me, maybe I should try that anime after all. It's overhyped as hell so most peoples are going to get disappointed soon enough, but since I'm not hyped, that's not a problem for me. I kind of like having an automaton as a MC tbh.

Wait wait wait, Overlord II is on Winter 2018 and we still don't have the date? What?

Though things are pretty exciting for this season:

Ryuuou no Oshigoto! - ranked #1 twice on Kono Light Novel ga Sugoi

Death March - ranked top 10 on Narou (web novel website)

Cardcaptor Sakura - childhood nostalgia

Karakai Jouzu Takagi-san - cute fluff stuffs

Ito Junji - twisted horror anthology

And of course, Overlord II

Can't wait! Let's hope none of them disappoints.

Isnt IDOLiSH7 part of the winter season too? Does anyone knows when it actually starts airing?

Someone explain Poputepipikku's trailer...

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

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

Ah OK, thanks!! I was wondering if it wasnt going to be released next season, so it had me worried

tfw nothing promising 2 seasons on the trot

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

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

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.

Looks entertaining enough, can't wait until Spring tho.

Koi wa ameagari is scheduled for january 11.

@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.
