Genre:<\/strong> Disaster Survival<\/p>\n Studio:<\/strong> Science SARU<\/p>\n Premiere date:<\/strong> July 9, 2020<\/p>\n What it\u2019s about:<\/strong>\u00a0When a massive earthquake strikes Tokyo, the nation is sent reeling. But that is only the start of the disaster. Due to its precarious location on the edge of a tectonic plate, Japan itself is sinking beneath the waves. In the midst of all this chaos, a girl sets out to find her family in the days the country has left.<\/p>\n Why I\u2019m excited:<\/strong> For this one it\u2019s all about the pedigree. Based on the award-winning novel Japan Sinks<\/a>, this retelling sets the events not in the 1970s but in modern Japan. But that\u2019s just the tip of the iceberg. This anime comes to us from the mind of Masaaki Yuasa–the director behind Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken!, <\/em>Ride Your Wave<\/em>, Devilman Crybaby<\/em>, and Tatami Galaxy<\/em>. A master at both the realistic and surreal, there\u2019s not a work of his I have seen and not enjoyed.<\/p>\n Watch it if you like:<\/strong> Tokyo Magnitude 8.0<\/em><\/p>\n Where to watch:<\/strong> Netflix<\/a><\/p>\n Genre:<\/strong> High School Fantasy, Mystery<\/p>\n Studio:<\/strong> Silver Link.<\/p>\n Premiere date:<\/strong> July 4, 2020<\/p>\n What it\u2019s about:<\/strong> Anos Voldigoad was a demon king among demon kings. He destroyed nations, killed thousands upon thousands but the war would never seem to end. And so he made a deal with the hero of mankind and the representatives of the spirit folk and gods. They would split the world in four for a thousand years–each race isolated to let tensions calm. And as for Anos himself? He would die only to reincarnate 2000 years later to enjoy the peaceful world he longed for.<\/p>\n Now Anos is back and the world is a peaceful one–with humans and demons even living together. But one thing is beyond his comprehension: magic has weakened to a shadow of what it once was.<\/p>\n Why I\u2019m excited:<\/strong> As much as this one is a satisfying power fantasy–with Anos being infinitely more powerful than everyone he comes across–it\u2019s also a decent mystery. Why has magic become so weak? Is it a natural consequence of peace? And if it isn\u2019t, who is behind the degradation of magic and what do they hope to gain from it? Twists and turns abound as Anos makes friends and unravels the mystery behind his own legend and the world he helped create.<\/p>\n Watch it if you like:<\/strong> The Irregular at Magic High School, Akashic Records of Bastard Magic Instructor<\/em><\/p>\n Where to watch:<\/strong> Crunchyroll<\/a><\/p>\n Genre:<\/b> High School Drama<\/span><\/p>\n Studio:<\/b> feel.<\/span><\/p>\n Premiere date:<\/b> April 10, 2020<\/span><\/p>\n What it\u2019s about:<\/b> Hachiman is a deadpan snarker who is smart enough to know that if he keeps his head down and does the bare minimum, he can get through high school without issue. Unfortunately, when his teacher realizes his untapped potential, he is forced into the school\u2019s \u201cservice club\u201d–a club that helps anyone who asks with whatever they need. The only other member of the club is Yukino, the smartest and most beautiful girl in school–who is as socially isolated as Hachiman himself. <\/span><\/p>\n What follows is a story about the fakeness of highschool, the weighty pressure caused by the expectations of those around you, the knowledge that the easiest way to unite people is to become the villain they unite against–and the damage that all this can cause to a young person\u2019s soul.<\/span><\/p>\n Why I\u2019m excited:<\/b> No other anime is quite as \u201creal\u201d to me as <\/span>My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU.<\/span><\/i> In high school, I was the jaded kid who thought he had everything figured out while everyone else was just fooling themselves with superficial relationships. Of course, I was also longing for those relationships–though I\u2019d have been loathed to admit it. Seeing these characters struggle to find something \u201creal\u201d and meaningful–even when they aren\u2019t sure what they are looking for–hits home in a way that shakes me to my core. And watching them learn and grow–even if the lessons are learned the hard way–reminds me that even though we may cringe when thinking about the past, without those experiences, we\u2019d never be who we are today.<\/span><\/p>\n Watch it if you like:<\/b> ReLife<\/span><\/i>, <\/span>Daria<\/span><\/i>, <\/span>WataMote: No Matter How I Look At It, It’s You Guys’ Fault I’m Unpopular!<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n Where to watch: <\/b>HIDIVE<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n Genre:<\/strong> Time Travel, Trapped in a Fantasy World<\/p>\n Studio:<\/strong> White Fox<\/p>\n Premiere date:<\/strong> July 8, 2020<\/p>\n What it\u2019s about:<\/strong> Ripped from our world and cursed to return to the past each time he dies, normal high schooler Subaru has finally reached his happy ending. After countless deaths, he has saved the girl he loves and defeated both a giant monster and a horde of cultists. But best of all, he has grown as a person–letting go of the entitlement and self-importance that plagued him for so long.<\/p>\n The problem is, his happy end is a lie. He has already lost more than he can imagine and can no longer time travel far enough back to fix things. All that\u2019s left is to try and move forward. But what awaits him is a challenge that has the potential to destroy his very soul–along with that of the woman he loves.<\/p>\n Why I\u2019m excited:<\/strong> If the previous season of Re:Zero<\/em> was about Subaru\u2019s growth, this one is about Emilia\u2019s and what role Subaru will take in her life in the future. It fleshes out the central antagonist–the Witch of Envy–as well as the other witches who were murdered by her. You also get to learn about Roswaal and Beatrice–how they are connected to each other and the predicament Subaru and Emelia find themselves in. For something that starts off feeling like a side story, it soon becomes as vital as anything that has come before.<\/p>\n Watch it if you like:<\/strong> Steins;Gate, Erased, The Rising of the Shield Hero<\/em><\/p>\n Where to watch:<\/strong> Crunchyroll<\/a><\/p>\n Genre:<\/b> Trapped in a video game<\/span><\/p>\n Studio:<\/b> A-1 Pictures<\/span><\/p>\n Premiere date: <\/b>April 26, 2020<\/span><\/p>\n What it\u2019s about:<\/b> In the fantasy world known as Underworld, the forces of light fought the forces of darkness in a final battle for the fate of their world. Now both sides are being slaughtered by mysterious, homicidal invaders from another world. Even magical powers and trained warriors aren\u2019t enough to stop the sheer numbers they face. Humanity\u2019s champion, the knight known as Alice, has been captured by the fleeing evil emperor. And to top it all off, the one man who might be able to save this collapsing world is little more than a broken, mindless husk.<\/span><\/p>\n But all is not lost for the people of Underworld. For a call has gone out across the multiverse: to a world of gunslingers; to a world of fairies; and to the survivors of a world known as Sword Art Online. <\/span><\/p>\n Why I\u2019m excited:<\/b> This is finally it: the ultimate climax of <\/span>Sword Art Online<\/span><\/i>. Everything that has come before has led to this. Everything that has come before has a vital part to play in this. Our heroes have gone from being trapped in a death game to being the last line of defense in saving the population of an entire world–a world filled with a new and wonderful kind of intelligent life. The stakes couldn\u2019t be higher nor could the danger. And each of our heroes will have to overcome one final challenge before the story reaches its final, satisfying conclusion. <\/span><\/p>\n Watch it if you like:<\/b> Log Horizon<\/span><\/i>, <\/span>.hack\/\/sign<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n Where to watch:\u00a0<\/b>Crunchyroll<\/a>, Funimation<\/a>, HIDIVE<\/a>, Hulu<\/a>, Muse Asia<\/a>, AnimeLab<\/a> (AU\/NZ), Wakanim<\/a> (EU)<\/span><\/p>\n Top image source: \u30a2\u30cb\u30d7\u30ec\u30c3\u30af\u30b9<\/a> on YouTube.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
