    Upcoming Anime Season: Summer 2022

    Maybe a little early to make this thread, but on the other hand it feels like this season went by super fast, and some anime only have 10 episodes, so whatever. Feel free to wait if you feel it's too early :>

    I want to use this chance that I hope you guys become a little more active next season. Maybe it's because of the anime airing, but there's a lack of debate. I'm especially shocked that I'm the only one watching "Dance Dance Danseur". Oh well.

    https://anichart.net/Summer-2022

    ----------------------------

    What I'm gonna try watching:

    - Overlord Season 4 (Oh boy. My enjoyment will hinge on one thing only: Will humans finally achieve a way to fight back against Ainz, or is it just more "monster murdering humans gore porn)
    - Hataraku Maou-sama Season 2 (I kinda liked the original, but it's been a long time.)
    - Soredemo Ayumu wa yosete kuru (this looks like exactly the kind of cut couple that I missed with Arahen and Komi-san. Looks cute)
    - Isekai Meikyuu de Harem wo (eh, could be a quick drop. If the ecchi is there, it might be fun)
    - Shoot: Goal to the Future (trailer already looks better than Aoashi. Never heard of the manga)
    - Prince of Tennis U-17 (wtf, why did I not hear about this before?! Super hype. <3)
    - KJ File (no trailer yet, but genre and synpsis sound intriguing)


    Ugh, after all, another rather bad season. Some hopeful shows, but also lots of potential to disappoint.

    You mean you're not thrilled by the Made in Abyss sequel ?

    All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.

    This has the potential to actually be an extremely strong season, actually, depending on your particular tastes and how well some of these adaptations end up being. Broaden your horizons a little...

    Youkoso Jitsuryoku Shijou Shugi no Kyoushitsu e (Classroom of the Elite) - Finally back after a very long time.

    Utawarerumono: Futari no Hakuoro - Same for this. LONG overdue sequel to a sequel series that left us on a cliffhanger! And this one is scheduled for 28 episodes!

    Yofukashi no Uta (Call of the Night) - I hear nothing but praise about this manga, but I haven't read it. Pretty strong casting will keep me waiting for the anime first.

    Hataraku Maou-sama!! - I'll watch it, but I think I have lowered expectations for this one.

    Lucifer and the Biscuit Hammer - Nothing else need be said here. Been so long since I've read the manga, I've forgotten the majority of it and can enjoy it thoroughly except for obnoxious superfans posting on forums about it on the off chance it gets butchered somehow.

    Isekai Ojisan - Absolute must watch for me. Stellar casting on top of a fairly accurate art depiction. This series is satire, parody, comedy, gut-punch drama, coming of age, and is also a wholly-sanctioned love letter to SEGA. Yes, all at once. (edit: I should mention that it is a returned isekai. He is back in our world after being isekai'd)

    Prima Doll - Feels like a Mahoro/Madoka inspired series, but not sure if it is harmless slice of life, or something a bit more. KEY is behind this, so we'll at least give it a try.

    Kinsou no Vermeil: Gakeppuchi Majutsushi wa Saikyou no Yakusai to Mahou Sekai o Tsukisusumu - A title this long, must be at least tried out...but in all seriousness, this does border on shotacon (so is Saikin Yatotta Maid ga Ayashii by the sound of things), so I am wary, but it is about summoning a demoness.

    And I'm not even including other things like Made In Abyss, Kanojo, Okarishimasu 2, and more Hestia. None of which I'm going to watch, but they are there.

    Lucifer and the Biscuit Hammer (aka Hoshi no Samidare)
    Utawarerumono: Futari no Hakuoro (I cannot believe this actually got adapted, really awesome VN/Game)
    Danmachi 4th season (Lyuu focused novel will get adapted here)
    Made in Abyss 2nd season
    Classroom of the Elite 2nd season
    Yofukashi no Uta (from Dagashi Kashi author)

    The titles above make this summer season the best anime season for me in YEARS.

    Man, I wish I were into loli girls like you guys. Guess I'll be in my threads all alone all over again. Well, maybe neflight will post in them half a week after the latest episode aired ;>

    Overlord.
    Made in Abyss.
    Danmachi.
    Utawarerumono.
    Isekai Yakkyoku.

    There seem to be quite a few potential series. Possibly also more than these. I won't trust my chances of successfully watching so many. Maybe I'll end up removing Isekai Yakkyoku from the list since I'm reading the manga anyway. Time will tell.

    The ecchi in the manga is straight out porn. No way it's going to be there.

    I don't understand how you can look at Ryll's and my list and somehow your takeaway is liking loli.

    Something supernatural and sad will happen. Guaranteed.

    If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~

    I'm less convinced of supernatural at least here. It looks like a Steampunk Mahoro/Is The Order a Rabbit.

    Mask of Deception/Truth lacks Karura and Ulthuri. The characters are generally aged down, so I can see where the misinterpretation might be made. Leave the rest up to lack of familiarity with the source material.

    What about all the other titles??

    And loli characters are actually rare and non-sexualized in Utawarerumono, so I don't even get that one.

    just saw the latest trailer for "Shoot" - is that a football anime for girls? :/

    So much crying and blushing, and hugging and nakedness. And several designs looked very bishounen.

    On top of that, animation looks mediocre at best, after being advertised as this old, famous football story, I expected more. Oh well, will give it a try anyway, just had to readjust my expectations.

    Lycoris Recoil is pretty interesting as first episodes go. The less you know watching the cold opening, the better.

    I'm halfway through episode 1 of Shoot! and I think I'll drop it. Cheap animation and the main characters goes 200% drama in an instant, like, wtf.

    Why can't modern sports anime leave all the derivative personal drama out of the story and focus on THE SPORTS?! That's why Tsubasa is still the best football anime, because it's just kids trying their hardest to win their football matches and that's enough. And it's super exciting and fun to watch. sigh

    I'll finish watching the episode later, but I doubt things will change.

    It also feels like a yaoi fest. Might suit some people, not me.

    Because sports series are fujoshi bait, and often written by fujoshi. The genre is a magnet for it. The alternative are dry "love letters" to a sport written by old men.

    It's hard to write actually engaging sports series that don't have some other element to them. The majority of the critically acclaimed ones are either Adachi works or from the early 1990s before fujoshi took over the whole genre.

    Lycoris Recoil:

    What kind of scandal did Shibuya Rin get into to make her resort to becoming an assassin?
