Karakuri Circus
Synopsis : Masaru has just inherited a big fortune after the death of his father. However, people are trying to get their hands on it by any means necessary, even if it means killing him. Narumi helped Masaru from being kidnapped after fighting some weird guys. He found out that they're not humans but wooden puppets with amazing strength. After a hard fight, Narumi was forced to admit that he's no opponent for them; and just when he started to think that Masaru would be captured, Shirogane, Masaru's watcher arrives from France with a weapon, the puppet Arlequin. Here, begins the story of Karakuri Circus.
Thoughts : Karakuri Circus started quite a few seasons ago, but the 36 episodes journey was well worth it, if you get freaked out by puppets or clowns AVOID! If not stay for a fantastic, grim, action packed, surprise filled story.
Dororo (2019)
Synopsis : Daigo Kagemitsu, who works for a Samurai general in Japan's Warring States period, promises to offer body parts of his unborn baby to 48 demons in exchange for complete domination of the country. When the baby boy is born, Daigo has him thrown into a river, expecting the boy to die. A kind sage, however, finds him and adopts him. The sage fits out his poor son with prosthetics.
Time goes by and the baby grows into a boy who calls himself Hyakkimaru. Every time Hyakkimaru eliminates a demon, he retrieves one of his body parts. Hyakkimaru rescues a boy thief named Dororo from a band of men whom the young boy tried to rob. Together they travel the countryside in search of the demons who possess Hyakkimaru's parts. Throughout their travels, they face a host of monsters and ghosts.
Thoughts : The 2019 animation of Dororo is well worth any anime fans' time and attention. Based on the classic manga by Tezuka Osamu, it's a prime example of how even really old manga can still be a joy to experience with fresh visuals and audio ;)
Tate no Yuusha no Nariagari
Synopsis : Iwatani Naofumi is an uncharismatic otaku who spends his days on games and manga, suddenly finds himself summoned to a parallel universe! He discovers he is one of four heroes equipped with legendary weapons and tasked with saving the world from its prophesied destruction. As the Shield Hero, the weakest of the heroes, all is not as it seems. Naofumi is soon alone, penniless, and betrayed. With no one to turn to, and nowhere to run, he is left with only his shield. Now, Naofumi must rise to become the legendary Shield Hero and save the world!
Thoughts : I'm pretty sure no one is surprised to see this anime here...and if by some chances you haven't heard of it. I would have to ask "under what rock did you live?" Sillyness aside it's a pretty good anime most fans will enjoy just a shame that the anime deviated from the source material a bit so a sequel might be hard to make..
Bokutachi wa Benkyou ga Dekinai
Synopsis : Yuiga Nariyuki tutors three genius of different subjects in highschool to get a scholarship. Furuhashi Fumino is a genius on literature but horrible in math, Ogata Rizu is a genius on mathematics and science but literature and arts are terrible subjects for her and Takemoto Uruka is a genius in the athletic field but really bad in all the others. Together, they study very hard and want to get better at their worst subjects while Fumino and Ogata wants to go to college and work on these subjects for life.
Thoughts : What can I say? I'm a sucker for absolutely fun romcom anime, especially when they are done as well as Bokuben. Looking forward to another season for sure!
Bungou Stray Dogs (2019)
Synopsis : The White Tiger and the Black Beast – Nakajima Atsushi and Akutagawa Ryuunosuke's fight against Francis F. brings an end to the great war against the Guild. Life goes on as normal in Yokoyama, thanks to the continued truce between the Armed Detective Agency and the Port Mafia, who, together, saved the city from ruin. But there are still rumors of Guild stragglers and other crime organizations making their way in from abroad. Meanwhile, Dazai Osamu had premonitions of another impending disaster. Lurking in the darkness is the Fyodor D., leader of pirate organization Rats in the House of the Dead, his dreadful plans on the verge of execution.
Thoughts : The third season of the much loved Bungou Stray Dogs was as expected, Fantastic! If you haven't even seen the first season of this anime yet. Stop whatever you are doing and start watching it now!
As some of you may have noticed, the majority of the "top shows" from Spring 2019 was mostly anime that started in earlier seasons. But you are obviously curious about t
he rest.
Hachigatsu no Cinderella Nine : A super fun "origin" story of an all girls baseball team in Japan. A shame it didn't go the route of more traditional sports anime but hopefully there will be more..
Gunjou no Magmel : This is one of those almost guilty pleasure type anime, it's not great by any margin but it's a lot of fun to watch. Heavily flawed though
One Punch Man S2 : The most hyped anime for Spring 2019? EASILY. And I'll admit, there were plenty of times I was dying from laughter. My only grip is the way it ended, which mostly just left me feeling unsatisfied.
Shingeki no Kyojin s3 : Pretty much more of the same as previous seasons. At least it looks like this is drawing closer to an end.
Kono Oto Tomare! : Music anime is always a joy to watch, my only gripe with this beautifully animated show was the lack of romance in it.
Kenja no Mago : If you want a fun isekai anime with a stupidly Overpowered main character then look no further, just make sure to not expect too much plot wise.
Sewayaki Kitsune no Senko-san : A relaxing and adorable anime about a demigod foxgirl trying to rid an overworked guy of all his work stress. Well worth the time if you want to just unwind.
Nande Koko ni Sensei ga : I'll be honest, I was hoping for a modern take on "Happy Lesson" but unfortunately this wasn't it. Censoring was a bit rough so I'd suggest waiting for the Bluray's if you want to enjoy lewds.
Isekai Quartet : The chibi style grew on me...or rather I tolerated it for the jokes, glad to see a second season has been announced!
Fairy Gone : When PA Works is involved, I just know a show is either going to be amazing..or a miss. Fairy Gone was sadly the latter for the most part.
Midara na Ao-chan wa Benkyou ga Dekinai : A cute, comedy about a girl with too many lewd thoughts thanks to her dad's profession.
Nobunaga-sensei no Osanazuma : In all honesty, I have no idea why I even watched this load of bullcrap.
Senryuu Shoujo : One of those rare short anime that just made you feel good. I'd recommend anyone to watch it.
Hitoribocchi no Marumaru Seikatsu : The moe show of the season, Lots of laughs, some tears. All worth it.
And that's my thoughts on all the anime series that finished with Spring 2019. For those of you still reading. I have few bonuses, in the form of OVA and Movie impressions. As always feel free to share your thoughts on the Anime you've seen with me!
Grisaia Phantom Trigger : Unfortunately not a continuation of the Grisaia series but share the same setting, Wished it was more than just 2 episodes though.
Monster Musume OVA : More MonMusume what more do you need to know?
Yuragi-sou no Yuuna-san OVA : Another great episode from our fave hotsprings yokai...
Uma Musume Pretty Derby Extra Race BNW's Promise : It was great seeing the horse girls again, thoroughly enjoyed seeing more of the other horse girls...
Mobile Suit Gundam NT (Narrative) : The PERFECT Sequel to Gundam Unicorn.
Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha Detonation : Who doesn't like seeing more of Nanoha befriending the shit out of everyone?
Re Zero Kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu - Memory : Rem fans rejoice! More Rem, more Ram, more Emilia...that is all.
