From the title of this post, you know that I am anticipating these few titles but mostly Ultraman since he is one of my childhood hero and I did a review of the first volume of the manga on this blog before. Anyway, I hope that Ultraman will be good and seeing it is only getting 13 episode, I am guessing the story will probably end with the Ace Suit Arc. (The manga got better after that with the aliens went full invasion in New York and show all the main characters at their best)

One Punch Man was an absolute blast in the first season and hopefully it continue since we are getting the Gauro Arc in the second season which showed a pretty bad ass Gauro who started off as a hero killer but later become an anti hero of sort.

Kenja no Mago, Isekai Quartet, Nande Koko ni Sensei ga and Kimetsu no Yaiba are also shows that I am looking for to. Until then, see you in April for the new shows!

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!
