The three lab children will somehow swap back to their original bodies. Guriko knew her original body was failing but may not know that it can literally only last for one more Uberfication. They’ll all Uberfy for one final face-off, with Guriko inadvertently sealing her own fate.

Still no idea how they’ll deal with all those missiles flying at the apartment though…

…or how they’ll deal with the spirit of Qmay’s founder, who’s apparently now inhabiting the body of a military commander.

The upcoming slate of titles can be viewed on AniChart and at ANN.

Must-watches:

Durarara x2 Ten – I’m always up for more Durarara! Will wait for the simuldub though.

Gate – I love fantasy series, and this one which involves modern-day people from the JSDF entering a portal to a fantasy world is one of my most anticipated of the season.

God Eater – Studio Ufotable. Giant monster hunting. Need I say any more?

Ushio & Tora – I posted about this on the previous page. Seems like a fun and interesting shonen series and kid of a surprise adaptation, considering the manga ended 19 years ago.

Somewhat interested/will at least try out:

A Boring World Where the Concept of Dirty Jokes Doesn’t Exist (aka Shimoneta to Iu Gainen ga Sonzai Shinai Taikutsu na Sekai) – Here’s this seasons comically long sentance-as-a-title series. Premise seems super silly.

Aoharu x Kikanjuu – Sounds interesting., but killing game/survival series are extremely hit-or-miss for me. I’m curious to see how this one turns out.

Chaos Dragon – The creators of Madoka, Fate, Durarara, Rental Magica and others played a tabletop RPG session that is now being adapted into an anime. I have no idea what to expect, but the names behind this sure catch my attention.

Classroom Crisis – Sci-fi high school auto club? I always liked the auto club aspects of AMG.

Jitsu Wa Watashi Wa – Rom-com, premise sounds amusing. Guy who’s terrible at keeping secrets discovers that classmate has wings and, of course, has to keep it a secret.

Jokamachi no Dandelion – Premise is… weird, but funny. I’m keeping my eye on this one until I know more.

Monster Musume – I’ve heard fairly good things about the manga. Seems entertaining, if nothing else.

Prison School – From the trailers and what little I know of the manga, it’s an extremely silly, hilarious, fanservice-heavy comedy series.

Ranpo Kitan: Game of Laplace – I love murder mysteries, but again, killing/survival game series are very hit or miss for me. It has my attention, but I need to know more.

Rokka: Braves of the Six Flowers – Another fantasy series? Yay!

Snow White with the Red Hair (aka Akagami no Shirayuki-hime) – More fantasy! And based on the story of Snow White apparently.

On the fence:

Bikini Warriors – If it’s like the earlier Queen’s Blade series, and is actually a decent fantasy show despite the boobs, then I’ll give it a shot. If it’s just boobs and nothing else I’m not going to bother.

Danchigai – Short-form comedy series. Premise sound interesting, but this is likely one of the first I’d pass on if I end up with too many shows to watch.

Kurayami Santa – A short-form horror series. I’m mostly interested by it’s 60’s anime aesthetic, which makes it look like a “for kids” kind of horror show. It remains to be seen how creepy it actually is.

Continuing series:

Food Wars

My Love Story

Ninja Slayer

…and more? I don’t actually know how long some of the other shows I’m currently watching are supposed to be.

EDIT:

Added Aoharu x Kikanju. Totally forgot about that one…

Ushio and Tora is a show caught my interest back when it was first announced, because I love it when modern remakes/adaptations of old anime/manga retain the retro character designs. After seeing this trailer and hearing the premise, this quickly shot up to be one of my most anticipated shows of the summer season.

The beginning even vaguely resembles Tenchi Muyo.

Here’s what it’s about, in a nutshell:

Our protagonist is Ushio, who is the son of a priest and lives at a shrine. He discovers an ancient demon sealed away in the shrine’s basement, pierced by a holy spear. The kid isn’t stupid though, and realizes pulling the spear out would be a very, very bad idea, and just leaves him there. But the damage was already done. Just by opening the door, he let out the demon’s scent, which starts attracting other demons to his town who begin attacking people and destroying things.

Realizing he has no other options, he strikes a deal with the demon in the basement. Freedom in exchange for destroying the other demons and saving the town. The demon agrees and Ushio pulls the spear out, but surprise, surprise, the demon had no intention of keeping his word and tries to kill him. But wait! The spear grants Ushio powers and transforms him into a superhuman/demon hyrbrid. Realizing that this was the same power that his original captor used to seal him away, and not wanting to be trapped in that basement again, the demon begrudgingly keeps his word and saves the town. Because he eventually kept his word Ushio doesn’t want to kill him, but also realizes that he can’t be trusted to not, y’know, be evil and kill people without the threat of being sealed away again looming over his shoulder.

And so begins the odd partnership of Ushio and the demon, Tora, as they travel Japan together slaying demons, with Ushio constantly keeping a close eye on Tora’s actions, while Tora patiently waits for Ushio to drop his guard so he can kill and eat him.
