So, here is my initial preseason watch list for
Summer 2019. Above-average number of Cute Girls Doing Stuff this season.
Symphogear S5: Might not even get licensed.
Karakai Jouzu no Takagi-san S2: S1 was okay.
Araburu Kisetsu no Otome-domo yo: Teenagers who want to have sex. Manga is by Okada Mari, so it might actually be legit.
Dumbbell Nan Kilo Moteru: Girls weightlifting.
Machikado Mazoku: Kirara magical girl show.
Joshikousei no Mudazukai: CGDCT.
Grandbelm: Girls in mechs.
Sounan desu ka: Four girls are stranded on a deserted island after surviving a plane crash. Short-form.
Enen no Shouboutai (
Fire Force): I liked most of
Soul Eater, and the
PV looks real good, so why not.
Re:Stage Dream Days: Idol anime. It’s sure to disappoint.
Maybe
Dr. Stone: Another Shounen Jump hit. Curious premise that hints it might get away from constant action, but I’m not fond of the designs.
Vinland Saga: Gritty action show by Wit.
To the Abandoned Sacred Beasts: Gritty action show by MAPPA. Not really into gritty action, hence why these are Maybes.
Kanata no Astra: Space drama. Director Masaomi Andou seems to have a positive rep, even though I’m not directly familiar with his work.
Cop Craft: Buddy cop comedy with a robot girl.
Leftovers
Aikatsu
Precure
Fruits Basket
Carole and Tuesday (tenuous)
Kimetsu no Yaiba (tenuous)
Movies/OVA:
Hibike Euphonium finale
Girls und Panzer das Finale 2
Bunny Girl Senpai finale: Shouko’s arc.
Weathering with You: Shinkai Makoto.
Children of the Sea: Visually, the best-looking PV I have seen recently.
Ride Your Wave: Apparently, water was the theme during ANNECY.
Frag Time: Time stop yuri.
