Bandori 3rd season CM:



First 4 minute of season 3.



Hyped baby.

Mostly looking forward to Dorohedoro, third season of Bang Dream!, second season of 5-toubun, and third season of Railgun (fingers crossed J.C.Staff won't screw this one up).

Might check out Nekopara since the preview didn't really interest me despite liking the game. Also might try Ishuzoku Reviewers for the lulz.

Ah yes, that super popular eroge visual novel adaptation. Gonna watch it because yes

All I care about is Dorohedoro.

Outside of Haikyuu there no sequel interesting. (sorry Railgun fan, didnt watch anything from this franchise yet)

For the new anime... i think there's nothing that makes me hype but there quite a few that im interested to try like: Pet, Dorohedoro, Hanako-kun, Eizouken ni wa Te wo Dasu na!, ID:Invaded, Darwin's Game and that new Madoka spin-off.

I have a feeling this is going to be a pretty damn slow season.

5toubun no Hanayome -> Unknown -> :(

Nothing in particular caught my attention. Hopefully spring season will bring something new and interesting for me to watch.

Eizouken ni wa Te wo Dasu na! and Somali to Mori no Kamisama are probably the only noteworthy thing this season.

• Madoka gacha - could turn out questionable considering it based gacha game.
  Dorohedoro - is likely going to be a rush adaptation and has jarring cgi which clashes with it good looking backgrounds.
  Heya Camp - is probably a short.
  Kuutei Dragons - idk enough about this but could potentially be good.
  ID:Invaded - This studio hasn't made anything good and the director has had his share of bad anime but the script writer being a genuine novelist makes me interested to atleast check it out.

i don't think it was confirmed for winter 2020

This season is gonna be TRASH! As bad as summer 2019

I'm just excited for Railgun and Plunderer. Are there any others that I should keep an eye out for?

The only animes I will see will be dorohedoro and railgun, however if Touma takes too much prominence, I dropped this, sincerely I have no patience to tolerate him character and his hypocritical moralist shit.

This season has a bunch of somewhat possibly promising stuff. Nothing overly hyped like last season and the one prior but I'm sure theres still going to be some good stuff
I am particularly looking forward to checking out
-Madoka Spin off
-Pet
-Kyokou Suiri
-Somali to Mori no Kamisama
-Dorohedoro
-Rikei ga Koi (long name)
-ID:Invaded
-Eizouken (Hands off the motion picture club) (Same studio that did Devilman and Ping Pong the animation)

We'll see how it all goes. Maybe another series will pop up and people recommend

not gonna watch anything this season, i was interested on Eizouken, ID:Invaded, Dorohedoro but im not feeling them now, i will wait for the next season then

I'm going to watch this for Winter 2020. I was planning to watch 28-30 at least but my first impressions are not so good lol:

Winter 2020 + leftovers from Fall 2019:


1) Boku no Hero Academia 4th Season (from Fall 2019)
2) Fate/Grand Order: Zettai Majuu Sensen Babylonia (from Fall 2019)
3) Radiant 2nd Season(from Fall 2019)
4) Kabukichou Sherlock (from Fall 2019)
5) 5-toubun no Hanayome 2nd Season
6) Isekai Quartet 2nd Season
7) Kyokou Suiri
8) Magia Record: Mahou Shoujo Madoka☆Magica Gaiden (TV)
9) Pet
10) Toaru Kagaku no Railgun T
11) Darwin's Game
12) Dorohedoro
13) ID:Invaded
14) Infinite Dendrogram
15) Plunderer
16) Eizouken ni wa Te wo Dasu na!

I never watched Haikyuu :(

Can't wait for the Magia Record anime!!!

Always glad to see such a comprehensive list, thanks Snow!

Looking forward to quite a lot of shows this season:

- ToAru Kagaku no Railgun T
- Magia Record (TV)
- Heya Camp
- Natsunagu!
- Somali to Mari no Kamisama
- Jibaku Shonen Hanako-kun
- Koisuru Asteroid
- Haikyu!!: To The Top!
- Rekei ga Koi ni Ochita no de Shoumei shitemita.
- Kyokou Suiri
- Isekai Quartet Season 2

Will probably end up watching a bunch these too:

- Eizouken ni wa Te wo Dasu na!
- ID: Invaded
- Kuutei Dragons
- Oshi no Budoukan Ikkekuretara Shinu
- 22/7
- Runaway de Waratte
- Dorohedoro

Which makes for a grand total of 18 titles...

Off to a flier in the new decade, this industry I reckon.

By the way, I think there is a mistake with the airing date of Gotoubun no Hanayome Season 2.

11 shows in my sight.

Lot of people sleeping on Dendro this season.

When are they gonna add this one (https://anilist.co/anime/113851/Breakers/) to the DB tho?

Does anyone knows when we'll get Gotoubun no Hanayome 2nd Season's release date announcement? It's the last one I need for my list!!X3

Some good ones here, nothing that stands out as a 10 but I'm still interested in at least 5 or 6.

Please delete 5-toubun no Hanayome 2nd Season from the list. 2nd season is not going to be aired via Winter 2020. The only information about it airing on Winter 2020 is the rebroadcast of first season via BSN Niigata.

I will only watch series Dorohedoro :D

I picked up 18 this season, which is rather low for me. I really had to scrap the bottom of the barrel as well, which does not show promise for 2020. I typically pick up 30-35 shows a season and finish out 25-28 of them. If the trend remains the same I am looking at 13-15 to finish out the season. I mean, at least I will get caught up on my "To Watch List" a little bit. I can probably clear 2 extra seasons a week with this much extra time, especially since Mandatory OT goes away in January. I hope the rest of 2020 turns out promising.

any news for tsugumomo?

Season 2 is for Spring 2020

Dorohedoro and Kuutei Dragons but they both have better atmospheres as manga.

Nothing else caught my attention to be quite honest.

5 toubun, Heya Camp, Darwin's Game, Dorehodero, Nekopara and Somali for me. Winter is going to be pretty chill

The Anime that I'm going to be watching in order of how hyped I am:
1.Haikyuu!!: To the Top
2.Somali to Mori no Kamisama
3.Dorohedoro.
4.Jibaku Shounen Hanako-kun
5.Natsunagu!
6.Pet
7.Majutsushi Orphen Hagure Tabi
8.Boku no Tonari ni Ankoku Hakaishin ga Imasu.
9.ID:Invaded
10.Housekishou Richard-shi no Nazo Kantei
11.A3! Season Spring & Summer
12.Oda Cinnamon Nobunaga
13.Kuutei Dragons
14.Darwin's Game
15.number24
16.Kyokou Suiri

So 16 anime. 1 sequel and 15 new shows.
There's 4 anime continuing from Fall that I'm also watching Boruto, Pokemon, MHA 4th season and Chihyafuru 3rd season.

Heya Camp -> Yuru Camp is on!
Pet -> Geno Studio do it again!
Eizouken ni wa Te o Dasu na! -> Masaaki Yuasa new show!
Breakers -> Interesting concept.

But, i watch every show in the season, so.. Nevermind.

Looks like another shitty season. A bunch of sequels I don't care about. Some manga I really love are getting botched with shite CG adaptations that I won't be watching. Some other manga that I like are also getting really low effort shitty looking adaptations that I won't be watching.

Outside of that there are a few shows that I will try to watch, they have "potential", if you can call it that. But who knows if they'll actually deliver. Somali to Mori no Kamisama, Jibaku Shounen Hanako-kun, Ishuzoku Reviewers, Koisuru Asteroid, Eizouken ni wa Te wo Dasu na!. Oh and Heya Camp.

It's looking like a really weak start for 2020.

Dorohedoro, nothing else appeals to me.
I’m glad of that statement, so don’t try to change my mind.

The only anime I care is Dorohedoro and Somali

Obligatory 'what a time to be alive' comment.

thx i love tsugumomo hope it gets 24 eps lol

I'm mostly excited about the manga adaptations especially Haikyuu. Darwin's Game seems like a hit or miss though.

Oh and it's so good to see Railgun back again! Also, it seems we're getting a lot more idol anime next year. Btw, I'm certain that 5-toubun no Hanayome 2nd Season won't be airing for Winter 2020 or even Spring 2020 with a recent news that an event will happen in May next year. My guess will be Summer.

hype for Eizouken and MAPPA's Dorohedoro adaptation! will def keep eye on Pet, Id, Orphen and maybe case file show by shuka.

Wished Somali was adapted by a better studio oh well :/

a season full of anime about idols, but no isekai, we already know which is the real over saturated anime

Looking Forward to
ID:Invaded
dorohedoro (will decide if animation is good)
ishuzoku reviewers (will watch for research) xD
plunderer (so far looks ok)

Overflow looks.....mmmm, dirty. So, yea, I'm in.

if you're not watching haikyuu!! at this point, you're doing yourself a disservice.
