 Here we are folks on the seasonal update to my anime binging slash watching of course we're reviewing another season when it comes to anime broadcast this time spring 2020 let's do this Welcome back to the channel geo here and yeah if you've been following my channel for a while you know that I've basically condensed all the shows that I'm watching with the broadcasts and stuff and at the end of each season I like to make one video talking about these titles now on occasions I like to you know make longer detailed videos on a couple series but for the most part I'll group everything together saves me some time because again this channel is a little bit all over the place because I like to talk about manga and comic books as well so works out for the best I think but if you want me to review a specific series from the ones I'm going to mention in this episode please let me know in the comment section down below I'm already working on some videos for shows that aired so maybe they'll coincide who knows but let's stop talking about technical stuff let's get into the anime watching I have a list on my computer here so I'm going to be looking at that list because I can't remember all the names off the top of my head but regardless I did catch a lot of shows some of them were postponed because of the pandemic and they're now just coming back as of the recording of this video so it's to be continued of sorts and you'll eventually see my full review for them at the end of the summer 2020 season anime season but let's start the first one on my list is kaguya sama love is war the second season much much better than season one even though I'd loved that first season the series as a whole this was better written funnier just all around just better in execution the animation and all the technical things that they were able to pull off with that series is just amazing at several points literally they were just flexing their muscles at what they can do I really do suggest watching kaguya sama and while I'd loved season one season two really made me a fan of the series as a whole and I cannot wait for season three because we did get that to be continued at the end and obviously the manga is still ongoing so I'm very much looking forward to season three and I like that they're a short burst of 12 episodes much more concise and you can get a lot more done than just you know prolonging a season out with more than 20 something episodes or 24 episodes the much anticipated tower of god I made an anime impressions video on it and I am very much looking forward to making a full review of that season and I will be going forward and reading the manwa the original webtoon because I I loved the show and a lot of people were complaining online oh they packed too much stuff in it was overly crowded with information yeah and at some points even I got a little bit lost with some of the terminology in worldbuilding because it's a new series and I wasn't accustomed to everything that was happening but I still enjoyed what I was watching it really gave off great uh battle shonen vibes and reminded me of stuff like hunter hunter when it's worldbuilding obviously with more seasons you can fully expand on these terms and sort of you know flesh out the characters and the settings and the rules and all that stuff but what we did get with the season I loved it the animation is wonderful the story is pretty exciting and even though it goes into the battle shonen battle royale type of trope it's still fun man plus the character of bomb I just think he is wholesome and I wish him the best going forward with the series I cannot wait to see if we get season two next year or the following one I I don't know but hopefully it does come out soon because I I had loved it so much the late near I really wanted to like the late near the concept is intriguing enough where you have these characters turning through some magical thingamajig and they turn with different sorts of abilities the protagonist turns into this giant bear like like a giant stuffed toy and he's able to fight and he's oh he opens his zipper in the back and another person can climb in and enhance his fighting abilities all that stuff it's a kooky concept with aliens and collectible coins and a lot of angsty people but at the same time the show or the original story has like three different stories and they're all going off at the same time and I simply did not care for a bunch of the characters in the show unfortunately I really wanted to like it because it sounds really cool the animations lovely at first but then I just kind of got kind of bored by it to be completely honest with you the ending was nice but the whole plot with the main character just left more to be desired plus the usage of fan service I thought was pretty for me I'm not I'll be completely honest with you guys I'm not opposed to some clever fan service but in this show I thought it was just kind of what are you doing I mean plus I love that this aired on streaming platforms in North America but certain other series like interspecies reviewers no you can't air that because it has sexual stuff okay next up I continued fruit basket I've loved season one last year so here we have the second season the first 12 episodes the series obviously continues because it's going to air for another 24 episodes total I loved it the animation dips in quality and the story sort of neanders a little bit and it gets a little repetitive at times with the drama but it's still great wholesome and emotional at times and you care for these characters and the things that they're going through so I really do enjoy fruits basket this uh closer adaptation to the manga is so cool to me I'd love it my next life as a villainous one of the surprise hits in my honest opinion for 2020 a very wholesome show that not a lot of people saw coming you know having the concept of an otome game I hope I said that right mixed within isekai and the characters subverting expectations and it did not rely on fan service whatsoever instead it relied on wholesome characters becoming friends and equal opportunity when it comes to romance which I thought was rare and kind of cool that the lead is a female and she has all these wonderful friends who love and admire her but she's she's likeable and she's doing everything possible to survive this world because she has been sort of reincarnated in this her favorite dating sim game and she's trying to survive it which I thought was pretty different from the other isekai because you see one isekai everything else is pretty much the same you just change it's a different coat of paint basically but for this I liked it I thought it was pretty wholesome charming and one of the best opening theme songs of the season has to go to that show I love that song next up we've got sing yesterday to me okay I've mentioned before that I love slice of life and drama and romance and all that savvy stuff I love it I love well written dramas and sing yesterday to me showed a lot of promise when I started watching it the animation is masterful in my opinion the way the character designs work within the backgrounds and the way the actual backgrounds look it's just a list material in my honest opinion and you're following the story of these four characters and their love romantic situations and how they go about it it can be a little bit frustrating but then again we know people like that which for me makes it relatable and I definitely saw myself in a few of the characters in the emotional aspect and their views on romance and the things that they're saying and doing it's not going to be for everybody because it's a very slow paced burn but I think it's a great show for adults to enjoy if you just want a a romance drama with a character that doesn't really know what he's doing doesn't know all the answers because he's in he just graduated college he's not really working and instead just doing a part-time 7-11 gig you know it really rings home to a certain demographic and especially if you grew up in the 90s and a lot of the insecurities and the personalities of that era are pretty well transmitted into this show some say the ending was a little bit rushed and I could see that I haven't read the manga I don't know the differences between the two but I could see how rushed everything was at the finale and I think giving it an extra episode might have really helped because the conclusion of something major that happens in episode 12 the first half could have easily been drawn out through the entire episode and you would have dedicated a final 13th episode to solving the main question of the series and giving us a conclusion of sorts everything was jam-packed some of the some of the decisions that these characters make don't entirely make sense but then again kind of reflects real life and that people that we know don't really make a lot of sense and we kind of make dumb decisions from time to time next up apari ranman I made a first impressions video and unfortunately I cannot give you my thoughts in the series because it was postponed because of the pandemic we only got three episodes episode four hasn't aired as of this recording it will be back for the summer 2020 season next up we've got unlimited budget millionaire detective I like this a lot I made another first impressions video on it I really enjoyed what I watched I think it was the first two episodes again it was postponed and it will come back for the summer 2020 season and while I'm at it I'm just going to give you the list of titles that were postponed that I was watching you had digimon adventure which actually as of this recording came back so I was able to watch episode four and I've been really enjoying this reimagining reboot of the first season of digimon diary of our days at the breakwater a wholesome slice of life anime about these girls in a fishing club at their high school and it's all about fishing and enjoying life and the process and the scenery looks beautiful and the fish really cute stuff I like it tamayomi so in response to that I switched things around I was so disappointed so hyped when that show first began and then I saw what you're seeing now and I was just devastated and I said you know what I'm going to switch things out with a much better show that I've been meaning to watch and that is ace of the diamond I finished the first season the first 75 episodes and it is fantastic one of my favorite sports show ever you get all the highs and all the lows all the competitive nature of high school baseball wonderful characters that actually grow as the series progresses and it's just a roller coaster of emotions and you know you're you're at this high with these characters and when stuff happens you feel it and it got really intense where I'm on the edge of my freaking seed watching a qualifier tournament match to see if the characters are going to go to the freaking nationals it's it's intense I love it the protagonist is a silly wacky and a breath of fresh air yes he can be quite annoying at times but that is part of the charm I guess so I am very much looking forward to continuing my journey with season two and then with the second series so yay me another hundred episodes to go another show that I was watching and it wasn't it wasn't postponed I just stopped watching was a Sakura Wars the animation it looks interesting I like that it's based off the it's a continuation of the new video game and it's it has artwork from tight google that's wonderful and you can pretty much watch it on its own and enjoy it but I do feel that if you play the video games you're going to take so much more out of it because I was watching it and by the fourth episode I will be completely honest with you guys I didn't know what was happening and I was a little bit bored by it so I dropped it don't come at me I just thought it was a little bit boring gal and dino I made a first impressions video this is the underrated series out of all of this mess that I'm talking about it's so unique and so cleverly written and and just bizarre humor there are scenes where I cannot comprehend what they're aiming for with the humor but I'm still laughing anyways because it's freaking genius I love the usage of animation styles you got your stop motion or claymation you've got traditional animation and it switches to live action stuff the live action stuff doesn't make sense at times it goes into different multiverse realities this show is insane in all the best way possible and I was so sad that I got postponed we got like eight episodes in out of I think it was going to be 12 or 13 episodes so I'm very much looking forward to seeing the rest of the story and see how it plays out especially the live action stuff because at the beginning we sort of get like this groundhog day type storyline and then it goes off into weirder territory the thing with the comedian stand-up routines go watch it go watch my first impressions video where I showed some pictures and talked a little bit about it it's it's a really interesting show I love it for that reason alone uh next up on my list we got art which means art this is a very cool show I love the premise when I first heard about it this girl in 16th century Florence she wants to be a painter obviously she has a very steep hill to climb because of you know 16th century Florence you've got uh sexism you've got racism you've got discrimination poverty there are a lot of obstacles to overcome in that time life expectancy but of course this is the anime version of the renaissance period so it's going to be really odd to hear characters speaking in japanese talking about uh european stuff and italian and I I'd like I'd love that is a wonderful wholesome character breath of fresh air she's just so bubbly and joyous and a beautiful character but uh yeah in my head this is an alternate reality an alternate take on the history that we know from that time period because a lot of the things that happen in that series I don't think would have happened in real life unfortunately but still if you want a nice slow-paced slice of life I do recommend art it's always a breath of fresh air when I was watching a new episode it was very it was a very relaxing series especially with the vistas and the characters and the you know them recreating the art styles the paintings and the architecture just really cool on their part listeners boy I was really excited when I first started watching it I made a first impressions video on that thing and if you watch my series review it goes south pretty quickly because listeners I'd love Studio Mappa don't get me wrong but I don't know what happened in that series because halfway through the end I had no idea what was happening they were literally skipping seasons of character progression and story arcs just to cram it in a final 22 minute episode it's insane I love the artwork it's beautiful the voice acting is superb Rie Takahashi she's she's uh she's one of my idols I love her but my god I mean she did a great job but the characters in this really needed some work they really needed some fine-tuning and I apologize if you were a big fan of listeners I love the execution and the themes and the story because they're written by Daisato but holy moly they really needed to work that out and be a longer show another series that I was continuing was Black Clover which was almost close to catching up to the manga it was always like four five three six chapters behind the manga and it got past the elves and it went into the new kingdoms and the the the incoming war and all that stuff really awesome stuff I love Black Clover I've reviewed the first half of the series if you want to check it out on this channel and unfortunately it was postponed as well but it is coming back as of this video next up you've got Princess Connect Redive I had no idea what this series was about I just knew that it looked pretty it looked interesting and funny and it's from the same director as Konosuba me being such a fan of Konosuba I immediately wanted to check it out and yeah it's sort of a reskinned version of that show but it's still really quirky and funny it's not the same type of comedy this is a lot tamer in comparison but it's still a fun series that I do recommend if you like Konosuba and instead of adventuring we get cute characters on a gourmet guild quest adventure if that makes sense wave listen to me my other favorite of the season finally an anime based on a manga about radio what's not to love the character of Minari is wonderful she's great spontaneous and just a bundle of energy and it's such a quirky awesome story that could and definitely one of the best of the seasons in my honest opinion next up on the list is BNA brand new animal I will tell you right now 2020 this will be on my list for best anime of the year it is fantastic I've made two videos on this series if you want to check them out I absolutely loved it from the characters to the setting to the art to the music everything about it just a list material in my opinion I love Trigger and all their work is just fabulous and this wasn't the exception Michiru is easily one of my favorite protagonist in quite some time and I cannot wait for one day to own it on blu-ray if that ever happens Kakushigoto Kakushigoto I don't know how you pronounce it but it was wholesome AF I'd love the series so much and what it did having read the concept behind the manga I was a little bit skeptical because it doesn't sound like it could be wholesome when I tell you oh you've got this mangaka who draws a pervy adult manga and he's trying to hide it from his kid so she doesn't find out what he does for a living so he's lying and making of excuses that he's this big shot at a corporation it sounds odd but once you start watching it's so endearing sweet wholesome and it has a ton of heart with really funny characters Hime is one of the most precious things of 2020 in my honest opinion and I wholeheartedly recommend Kakushigoto however you pronounce that word it's a fantastic anime and easily one of the best ones of the year in my honest opinion calling it now when you've got the mangaka saying hey ignore my manga because I didn't know the anime could really make something precious out of a story I made go watch that instead you know you're in for a treat at 12 episodes it's it's the right length and it hits you in the fields multiple times and it has such a bittersweet happy interesting ending that I hope they can somehow work in a movie I don't know if there's material enough to do another season but maybe a movie or something I would like to see a little bit more just a tiny bit more of this world in this story I usually like to do I watch all the new stuff that interests me as much as possible for you guys and then I go back and sprinkle throughout my viewing sessions older shows so I finally caught up with the rezero ova's I hadn't watched them they were up on crunchy roll really cool stuff I really loved them and I'm even hyped more hyped for season two we were supposed to get it for spring but it got postponed to summer so we're just about to start that and I'm so excited for season two but yeah the ova's are fantastic if you love the characters you're gonna love what you're seeing there another series I started watching was drop kick on my devil season one which is pretty funny it reminded me of gabriel dropout it has that style of humor and we'll see because there's a season two it's a little formulaic but that's sort of the charm behind it so I'm very much looking forward to catching up on that as for blue rays I started watching finally continuing my viewing of space brothers which is awesome and I'm also I'm almost caught up with overlord I'm on season three so I'm very interested in finishing those out so I can give you guys proper reviews on the series which I plan to do on the channel which leads me into sort of the next segment on this anime video the future when it comes to this channel and anime I want to keep a healthy balance between the anime that I watch and review with the manga that I talk about and the graphic novels slash comic books that I talk about on the channel I just love all three so much that I can't make separate channels for the three subjects so I'm mashing them all in together so if you want me to review any of the anime that I've mentioned on my videos on my seasonal reviews please let me
