Winter 2019 Anime for me

Mostly from Anime News Network’s Winter 2019 Anime Preview Guide.

(BTW: Amazon Prime is AU$7 per month.)

Crunchyroll, Saturdays 01:00 AEDT Boogiepop and Others

Based on a popular light novel series; ANN guys like it

Wait a few weeks, then try early episodes.

Amazon Prime Dororo

Darkish historical fantasy (?); ANN reviewers like it

Maybe watch a few episodes just in case I like it?

Crunchyroll, Sundays 05:30 AEDT ENDRO!

Comedy about four silly but very moe girls at an Adventurer School.

Extremely moe (satire?), but has some laughs.

Crunchyroll, Fridays 03:30 AEDT Girly Air Force

SF adventure (mysterious flyers devastating humanity) with good worldbuilding

Surprisingly good (tho not great) so far.

Crunchyroll, Sundays 3:00 AEDT Kaguya-sama: Love is War

A comedy-romance about two elite high-schoolers trying to force each other to confess first.

ANN guys fairly positive.

Has enough laughs

Amazon Prime Kemurikusa

Another post-apocalyptic SF series from TATSUKI, who did Kemono Friends

Worth a look, going by the ANN reviews.

AnimeLab Magical Girl Spec-Ops Asuka

A dark magical girl show: magical girls are child soldiers, resulting in PTSD and other psychological problems.

Rated 3.5 by Rebecca, 4.5 by Theron.

Maybe worth a look?

Crunchyroll, Tuesdays 03:30 AEDT Mob Psycho 100 II

Watch both series.

Crunchyroll, Sundays 00:30 AEDT The Morose Mononokean II

James Beckett says it’s a “gentle and moderately entertaining comedy”.

Try S1 first.

Crunchyroll, Thursdays 04:00 AEDT My Roommate is a Cat

ANN folks are fairly neutral

Will watch, if only for the recaps from the cat's POV.

Crunchyroll, Saturdays 03:00 AEDT The Price of Smiles

“an ostensibly-cutesy-but-actually-super-serious sci-fi mecha battle war drama romance. I think.” — James Beckett

Wait a few weeks, then try early episodes.

Crunchyroll, Thursdays 02:00 AEDT The Promised Neverland

Shonen horror about an orphange

Maybe worth a look?

Crunchyroll, Fridays 09:00 AEDT The Quintessential Quintuplets

High-school boy gets tutoring work with 5 female classmates. Comedy/Slice-of-life/Romance.

One ANN guy says it’s funny.

Will watch: good character-driven(!) humor.

HIDIVE Real Girl season 2

ANN guys both had mixed feelings

Try S1 first.

Crunchyroll, Thursdays 02:30 AEDT The Rising of the Shield Hero

SJWs outraged.

Nice reworking of Isekai tropes; will watch.
