Looking at this list, some of you might have guess which show I most probably hype for and it is Marvel Future Avengers! Yes, it is a kids' show and yes, it is weird that everyone speak Japanese and has many anime tropes in it.

However I did reviewed Marvel Disk Wars Avengers a few years back and it is pretty good despite a rocky start. Using the same cast as Disk Wars, it is pretty decent and by the end, it is actually better than a lot of current Marvel series from the west, eg: Avengers Assemble.

Fate/Apocrypha which I have started reading the manga and so far, it is pretty hardcore with both sides having their own agenda and the servants themselves are pretty bad-ass. It also mark the first appearance of Ruler aka Joan of Arc in anime form and her reasons for her appearance intertwine the war.

The rest of the shows of course, I will have to watch it first before deciding what to follow after three episodes. What are the shows you are looking forward to? Leave your comments and see you in July!
