Lupin the Third: Part 5: What can I say but Lupin the Third!

We have five classic shows getting a reboot for this season. Captain Tsubasa is one of my favourite series when growing up and in the latest manga series titled Rising Sun, Tsubasa and his team are playing in the Olympics. But the problem with this new series is old fans already know how the story goes since it goes back to the beginning of Tsubasa's love with soccer and his encounters with various players. (All the fancy moves only started appearing when Tsubasa was in high school and the story really kicked in when they started playing against foreign teams)

Since I did finished Persona 5 on my PS4, the hype has kinda of died down since I know how the story goes and compared to P4's story, P5 is considered to be pretty dark since it dealt with a lot of mature themes.

Gundam Build Divers might be interesting since this series has always played the fanservice very well and after IBO's ending, Gundam fans really need something light hearted to get over the drama. Of course, Shougeki no Soma, My Hero Academia, High School DxD are also shows I am looking forward to.

So what shows are you looking forward to this season? Until then, see you in the next post!
