Is it just me, or is this season bleak as hell?
I mean, looking around, i find about five manga adaptions of manga i've .... well, not quite read, because they're mostly of the kind of quality where you want to drop them in a round bin and set them on fire after five pages (i'm looking at you, Peter Grill). I also find... uh, clones. Because, you can't tell me Deca-Dence doesn't rip off Attack on Titan, or that God of Highschool isn't a Korean attempt at a stealth rewrite of Tenjou Tenge in order to have something to publish for CR and the chinese market. There's a handful continuations, although mostly of franchises i'm not interested in.
Outside that, we've got two new romcom series with the at least slightly innovative target audience of single male college student. We've got yet another rehash of the girls-fail-at-witch-school theme, though with a failing attempt to go for an Aria-style setting. We've also got something airing this week that from trailers and plot hook looks like someone thought Blue Gender would be better with timetravelling Samurai animated by second-rate studios, and probably the less said about that the better.
Well, at least the cancelled fishing-bu anime from last season restarted and will pick up new episodes from end of this month.
