2022 Winter Anime Season
Replies
Anyone else excited for the upcoming quarter?
Highlights for me:
-
Sasaki to Miyano (gay teen romcom)
-
Love of Kill (assassin x assassin, thriller)
-
Baraou no Souretsu (adaptation of Shakespeare's Richard III)
-
In the Land of Leadale (I can have one Isekai, as a treat)
-
Slow Loop (Outdoorsy SOL)
-
Dolls' Frontline (Touken Ranbu but they're all girls and they're guns, I think?)
-
Akebi-chan no Serafuku (if I want to watch yet another "girl goes to high school and tries to make a hundred friends" SOL, then that's my decision)
-
Futsal Boys!!!!! & Ryman's Club (obligatory sports anime)
Might check out Sono Bisque Doll wa Koi wo Suru (raunchy(?) teen romcom) ; it'll probably be a dumpster fire, but supposedly it's not half as mmmM icky as the description block makes it out to be.
I'm really, really hyped for The Orbital Children, the latest work from Mitsuo Iso, who directed one of my favorite anime of all time: Den-noh Coil. He actually hasn't headed anything since Den-noh Coil aired back in 2007, so it's really wonderful to see him finally get another chance at a series, even if it's a half-cour ONA.
Also, the rest of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean is set to air! (Technically it's considered a fall show, but it's only airing properly on TV in January, so to me it's winter)
What are you all looking forward to?
