Getter Robo Arc...and other stuff. That’s my view.

Literally the only thing I'm going to watch is Vanitas lol, I haven't had these few shows I care about in a season in a while

I absolutely cannot help but adore handsome 2D boys

A few things to note:

  • Vanitas is from the creator of PandoraHearts
  • The Getter Robo listing should more properly be Getter Robo Arc, an adaption of the last manga, that I'm not sure any of the anime actually lead into
  • Similarly, The Irregular at Magic High School is actually The Honor Student at Magic High School, a retelling of the early series from Miyuki's point of view
  • Kageki Shoujo has nothing to do with Shoujo Kageki Revue Starlight
  • Big season for Cool-Kyou Shinsha:
    • Maidragon S2
    • Did the art for the serialization of Idaten
      • Story by the Interspecies Reviewers guy
    • Original webcomic of Peach Boy Riverside
  • Know your isekai:
    • Million Lives and Bakarina are established
    • Banished from the Hero's Party and How a Realist Hero Rebuilt the Kingdom are both "dude builds a community" stories. They also both have their own questionable plot element that's known to alienate readers
      • Okay, Banished from the Hero's Party isn't technically isekai, but it is using the standard world setting
    • Drugstore In Another World and The Dungeon Of Black Company are both comedies. Black Company seems to be better regarded, and is certainly less problematic
    • Seirei Gensouki and The World's Finest Assassin both try to do something a bit different, but are ultimately your typical power fantasy fare

Love Live and Dragon Maid are the only things of interest to me so far. While I am an isekai fan none of the ones here really interest me.

Wen Pluto? Doesnt look like a super appealing season for me. Barring any surprises, I'm basically just looking forward to Getter Robo Arc.

#8: Apr 21st 2021 at 10:36:38 PM

Getter Robo, Vanitas, Love Live, all perfectly reasonable things to look forward to... Tanmoshi was the one that most impressed me when I was browsing the related manga

I'll give Vanitas an episode. I have an extreme distaste for idol stuff, so Love Live can get as far away from me as possible.

Tanmoshi, Duke of Death, and Scarlet Nexus are the only I'm really looking forward to, so far. Really hoping that the Shikimori san adaptation will come this fall.

Something for this season that doesn't look trashy. Amazing

I can probably guess it's because of either the COVID situation there or the Olympics or something else entirely. Whichever the case may be, it feel like a few more anime might receive this treatment too.

Well it’s understandable...just don’t let anything delay Getter.

    Comments on the new stuff 
Boku-tachi no Remake

While the premise makes it sound like a time travel drama, what I read of it was mostly about working on a creative endeavor. Also, harem antics

The Case Study of Vanitas

Coming to us from the creator of PandoraHearts. So, this is in line with an oddly specific set of recurring tropes: Gothic aesthetic, homoerotic subtext, shounen storytelling sensibilities. From what I've seen of it, it leans toward lighter side of this particular microgenre

D_Cide Traumerei

Related to a mobage, but apparently telling a largely unrelated story. And the writer's done some good work before (Arjuna and Noein, among others), so maybe this'll turn out well

The Detective Is Already Dead

Not by NisiOisiN, but sure feels like it is. Quirky characters, clever dialogue, and open genre commentary

Deatte 5-byou de Battle

Death game with superpowers. Definitely feels like it's aimed at teen boys. The main character is super-awesome because he treats real life like a videogame, for instance

Drugstore in Another World: The Slow Life of a Cheat Pharmacist

More of a comedy than anything. I wasn't particularly impressed by it. Also has some noticeably problematic elements, like the main girl being a loli with a slave mentality, and an elf that exists for gay panic jokes

The Duke of Death and His Maid

Feels like onee-shota, but I think they're actually around the same age. Anyway, it's a fanservicey comedy, but it's 3DCG, so I'm not sure how much of a point there is

Getter Robo Arc

So, this is adapting the last Getter Robo manga. I don't believe any of the previous anime in the franchise have lead up to this point, but what I read of the manga was reasonably possible to jump into. Plot's mostly a vehicle for spectacle, anyway. Uh, more concerning is that the manga is unfinished, at two volumes, so they're going to have to make a lot of stuff up

Girlfriend Girlfriend

More of a comedy about a harem than a harem comedy itself. Very similar in style and tone to the mangaka's previous works (Aho-Girl, Doujin Work, etc)

Heion Sedai no Idaten-tachi

Originally a webcomic, and it retains a definite underground vibe when officially serialized—Quirky, oddly structured, and occasionally prone to really fucked up shit

How a Realist Hero Rebuilt the Kingdom

Nation-building/politics. Generally considered to be pretty good at this. ...It's also a harem, and not generally considered to be good at it

The Honor Student at Magic High School

You know how some light novels have spinoffs about a popular female character's adventures when the original protagonist isn't around? Yeah, this isn't that. It covers mostly the same territory as the actual books. Fans consider the main value to be how it fleshes out some side characters

The Great Jahy Will Not Be Defeated!

It's a cringe comedy. I don't care for it, but it's apparently quite popular

This is going to be two cours long, which is confusing since they only have enough material for a bit over one

Kageki Shoujo!!

Entirely unrelated to Shoujo Kageki Revue Starlight. I mean, beyond the Takarazuka school setting

So, this is a josei drama. Dark but grounded, not too shouty

Life Lessons with Uramichi-Oniisan

Starts out emphasizing the Subverted Kids' Show aspect, but pretty quickly pivots more to a cynical Work Com

Love Live! Superstar!!

Nijigasaki is getting a sequel next year, so I guess we've got two Love Lives going simultaneously. Anyway, this one looks to be changing up the formula a bit (five girls! All first-years!), but has the staff of the original series

Megami-ryou no Ryoubo-kun

Technically onee-shota, but plays out much like any other harem comedy. The girls are named after goddesses, but I don't think there's actually any fantasy elements?

Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid S

The original director died in the fire, but the replacement director has a pretty good track record. Uh, so I really disliked the portion of the manga they're adapting here. But the anime was a significant improvement on the source material in the first season...

Tsukimichi -Moonlit Fantasy-

Isekai comedy. Not a parody—Normal isekai things happen, they're just funnier than usual. Fans describe it as like Tensura with an edgier protagonist, though

My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom!

This is pretty much going to be pure antics, barring the possibility of an anime-original storyline

Night Head 2041

So there was a live action series in '92 called Night Head about a pair of psychic brothers that was apparently pretty popular. This is... vaguely related to that. Has the original writer and something like the same premise

Peach Boy Riverside

Originally a webcomic by Cool Kyoushinsha, then officially serialized by Yohane. ...Reminds me much more of Yohane's writing style. So, decent fantasy series. Good crazy faces

RE-MAIN

Brain child of the Tiger & Bunny guy. Looks like a pretty typical cute guys doing sports series otherwise

Scarlet Nexus

Game's not out yet and I can't find anything about the writer(s), so who knows

Seirei Gensouki: Spirit Chronicles

Sorta tries to be (what TVT calls) a deconstruction of isekai, but ends up mostly just being around 20% grittier than usual. Like, the protagonist reincarnating into the slums doesn't prevent him from going to a magic school for rich kids, it just means he gets bullied when he's there

Shiroi Suna no Aquatrope

Looks like a pretty traditional P. A. Works light drama, just with with less emphasis on the dudes. Might go yuri?

Sonny Boy

Brain child of Shingo Natsume, famed director of such popular anime as One Punch Man, Space Dandy, ACCA... Though he's also writing this one, and I have no idea what to expect from that

Tsuki Pro the Animation

New staff! The director previously did number24, last year's mediocre rugby anime, and some slightly less mediocre mid-00s moe series. The writer's previous credit is... Manaria Friends? Not sure if that's a reason to be hopeful or not, given the difference in genre

Wait, Vanitas is getting an anime? How did I not know that?!
