Years have passed since the ending of the first season and the adventures the main characters had together. Haruko introduces herself as the new teacher at the school where Hidomi goes to, a young girl who thinks her average life will not expect anything interesting. However, after the arrival of Haruko the Medical Mechanica start attacking Hidomi\u2019s town and she discovers a secret that only her new teacher can unlock.<\/p>\n

\nI have watched the first season of FLCL a couple of years ago as it was recommended to me by a friend. It\u2019s been a long time ago so I can\u2019t remember much of it but I do recall that I did enjoy the show, I will probably re watch the old show before watching this one.\u00a0 Personally I always enjoy watching shows that get a new season with a time skip in it as I\u2019m always curious to see how the story, characters, and the world evolves.\u00a0 Also, since it\u2019s only six episodes it\u2019s a great anime for busy people like me. I don\u2019t have enough time to invest in watching anime anymore so seeing new titles with less than ten episodes feels like a blessing to me.<\/p>\n

\n<\/strong>I haven\u2019t read the manga myself, however I have seen the anime. It\u2019s a beautiful anime, with very beautiful art. And even though it\u2019s not a sad anime, the emotions managed to hit me as well. Therefor I am really looking forward to the special and the story which will be told during it.<\/p>\n

\"\"Jashin-chan Dropkick (\u90aa\u795e\u3061\u3083\u3093\u30c9\u30ed\u30c3\u30d7\u30ad\u30c3\u30af)<\/h4>\n

One day Yurine, a delusional gothic Lolita girl, summons a demon girl with the tail of a cobra named Jashin-Chan. Jashin-Chan is VERY unhappy about the situation and is very violent with Yurine. They\u2019ll have to live together until Yurine manages to send Jashin-chan back to hell or until Jashin-Chan kills Yurine.<\/p>\n

Recommended by Yuki<\/a>:<\/strong>
\nThe promotional images alone are funny enough for me to think it\u2019ll be fun to watch this. This is meant to be a violent comedy and not meant to take seriously, I think it\u2019ll be a nice light series to watch.<\/p>\n

\"\"Mirai no Mirai (\u672a\u6765\u306e\u30df\u30e9\u30a4)<\/h4>\n

Type:<\/strong> Movie
\nStudio:<\/strong> Studio Chizu
\nGenres:<\/strong> Adventure, Drama, Fantasy<\/p>\n

Starts airing:<\/strong> July 20th<\/sup> 2018<\/p>\n

This movie centres around a family that lives in a small house in an obscure corner of their city, specifically it centres around the spoiled four-year-old son Kun-chan. When Kun-chan becomes a big brother to little sister Mirai, he gets jealous of the attention and love she\u2019s getting which he feels he is entitled to. While Kun-chan is already overwhelmed by the presence of his new sister and how much his life changes because of her, an older version of Mirai appears, having travelled back to him from the future.<\/p>\n

Recommended by Yuki<\/a>:<\/strong>
\nAlthough I\u2019m afraid this story is a set up for some tearjerker scenarios, especially since one of the genres is drama, I think it has a big chance of being very heart-warming too. I\u2019m looking forward to seeing the big sister\/younger sister dynamic that future Mirai will have with Kun-chan and see his opinion about his little sister change over time.<\/p>\n

\"\"Gintama: Shirogane no Tamashii-hen 2 (\u9280\u9b42. \u9280\u30ce\u9b42\u7bc7)<\/h4>\n

Type:<\/strong> Anime
\nStudio:<\/strong> Bandai Namco Pictures
\nGenres:<\/strong> Comedy, Action, Science-Fiction, Shounen, Parody, Historical
\nBased on the Gintama manga by Hidaeki Sorachi.<\/em><\/p>\n

Starts airing:<\/strong> July 2018
\nNumber of episodes:<\/strong> Unknown<\/p>\n

Gintama is approaching the end, the Silver Soul arc is the adaptation of the manga\u2019s final story arc. The adaptation started in Winter, having a break, but is now back to carry on. With the world at stake Yorozuya Gin-Chan and co. are continuing to fight with all they got for Earth\u2019s survival. Of course, with the odd comedic and parody moment to prevent it from being too serious!<\/p>\n

Recommended by AlexD<\/a>:<\/strong>
\nThe first part of this arc was great, particularly as the action is getting more intense. Sure, the comedy is taking a back seat, however knowing the world is at stake justifies it. There is still the odd funny moment, but the overall more serious tone works due to events leading up to this point. I also like how characters from throughout the show\u2019s long history are coming back and helping with the fight at the end. It\u2019s shaping up to be the perfect end for the show (and I should know as I\u2019m up to date with the manga)!<\/p>\n

In contrast to the sweet title, this psychological horror is getting ready to be the talk of the town. High school girl Sat\u014d Matsuzaka befriends Shio, a young innocent girl who stays in Sat\u014d’s apartment. She cares for Sat\u014d deeply but often remains unaware of what she is involved in as she is not allowed outside of the apartment. Sat\u014d will resort to any way possible to protect Shio, even murder.<\/p>\n

Recommended by Natsumi:
\n<\/strong>This cold blooded obsessive girl will do anything to protect the one she loves. The innocent art style and controversial topic mixed so beautifully that I could not get my eyes off of the trailer the first time I saw it, but it is certainly not for the weak hearted. A lot of readers have stumbled upon this ongoing manga and leave very positive reviews on the trailer of the anime adaption too. Prepare to watch this late at night for the maximum Yandere effect.<\/p>\n

After failing their boss one too many times, three yakuza men are given a choice: either honourably commit suicide or go to Thailand and get sex reassignment surgery so they can become \u2018female\u2019 idols. After a year of training to become an idol group, the three \u2018girls\u2019 successfully debut and gain popularity instantly. This is where their tragedy truly begins as they struggle to hide their true selves from their fans.<\/p>\n

This will be the fifth adaptation of \u201cShinya! Tensai Bakabon\u201d, a gag manga by the legendary Fujio Akatsuka (who also wrote the original Osomatsu-kun). The show follows Bakabon, a boy known for being foolish, and his weird family. To be honest the poster gives you a strong idea what kind of gags you are in for with this show.<\/p>\n

Recommended by AlexD<\/a>:<\/strong>
\nAs a fan of the recent Osomastu-san adaption, I know this is going to be a bizarre and wonderful show. There is quite a market for the surreal humour at the moment, and I think this will fill the hole Pop Team Epic has left. Particularly as I personally have started to like series that are different, and Akatsuka\u2019s art and writing style are just that. So if you are looking for a series that goes against convention and is strange, this show is for you!<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the only thing he\u2019s got going for him, until one day at a local arcade he plays Oono Akira and she completely destroys him at Street Fighter II. Oono is one of Yaguchi\u2019s classmates, but she is nothing like him as she is popular, smart and pretty. After losing to her 30 times in a row and being unable to beat her at any game, she starts following him to the arcade every day and continues to beat him. Strangely enough, over time, the two start to develop a bond and friendship.<\/p>\n

\n<\/strong>This sounds like a cute, but very funny, love story. It definitely doesn\u2019t hurt, for me, that this anime has a female gamer in it. The character design looks cute and I think the age of the characters will help in making this a sweet story, rather than a very dramatic story which you often see with teenagers.<\/p>\n

\n<\/strong>If you are a fan of the Persona franchise just like me you will find this anime to be a gem to look forward to. What will this girl go through once she encounters the horrors and set foot in Caf\u00e9 Forbidden? This anime will also be casting talented voice actors like Takahiro Sakurai ready to get you on the edge of your seat.

\nThis anime sounds super funny, the entire story makes very little sense, but I think it\u2019ll be very easy to get a few laughs out of it. The story does disregard the fact that you don\u2019t just get a sex change operation that easily, or restore from it that easily, but it\u2019s a comedy anime so I can see how they\u2019d ignore that for the purpose of creating a comedy. The title parodying \u2018Back Street Boys\u2019 also adds to the comedy of this show.<\/p>\n
