Thanks Roba. Just in time too.

Alright ye olde Spring season, heres whats catching my eye thats not a sequel.

Girls Band Cry

The gut reaction when you first start this PV up is YEESH this CG, but the more you watch and pay attention to it I am actually shocked at how well animated, expressive, and unique this looks. It looks like a fun show but the reason Im checking it out is the animation.

Mysterious Disappearances

The Ecchi tag and focus in the description about how the girl has big tits was an immediate turnoff and brought back Occultic;Nine flashbacks. However these PVs are fucking choice. This show is aesthetically fantastic and the actual core narrative seems right up my ally. I do wonder if the show is just overtagged, or if the PVs just arent showing the content that might bring it down for me. Only one way to find out!

Kaiju No. 8

I dont really have much to say here, since this is an SJ manga that Im all caught up on anyways, so I know it will be good. I do think it looks like they did a fantastic job with this adaptation at least, and have no doubt this will land very well with general audiences. The very first reveal images they had for this when the anime was announced actually looked pretty bad, so Im glad it got cleaned up.

I read exactly 2 chapters of this manga before hearing it was getting an anime soon, and deciding to wait and see. Im glad I did, because never expected the show would look THIS good. I only know the vague establishing setup of the series, a Sentai grunt looking to come out on top, and I think Ill keep it that way. Also, a continuous 2 cour anime, you love to see it!

Reincarnated Aristocrat

This does not have anything that particularly stands out on its face as original, but it gave me the same feeling as watching the Healing Magic PV, where it just seems like something could be here. Maybe Im thinking about it too much, but Ill take the chance.

Unnamed Memory

https://youtu.be/gLDh0lf3bDw?si=dPdR9ttiE8Bu50Id

This just looks like good action and basic fantasy romance schlock, I dont mind fast food with a good character design for the lead girl every now and again.

Jellyfish Cant Swim in the Night

Now THIS is a Doga Kobo winner in the making. The studio is up and down for me, but when they hit they HIT. This is an original at that, theres nothing here I dont like, it looks stupendous and Ill be watching this one intensely.

Other quick notes:

Grandma and Grandpa Get Young show seems cute until they start having jokes about the grandkids wanting to get with the grandpa? Uhhhhh??

I have not seen Spice & Wolf, and will have to rely on other to tell me if its notably worse or better than the original.

There are so many golf anime what is happening?

Re:Monster PVs versus what I have been told the story contains seem like either the most insane bait and switch around, or people were exaggerating it. Or, worst case, it has that content but its so blandly presented that it isnt even fun to get mad about.

Im sorry Whisper in Your Heart, I know Im desperate for more Yuri anime but this manga just didnt work for me at all, I kept up with it for a while but dropped it months ago. Maybe the show will be less boring? I know other people are big fans though so don't let me talk anyone down here.

God I hope the idol aspect of The Many Sides of a Voice Actor isnt a major part of that source material.

The Yokai Next to Me is a real dark horse, but Im worried it will be TOO comfy to the point of boredom. I feel this genre is starting to get away from me sadly.
