The heroine in Wave, Listen to Me! is Minare Koda who got her heart broken and went out drinking. She met up with a radio station worker and\u00a0 shared her story, but didn&#8217;t knew that this story was recorded and found out later to hear her ranting on the radio, live over the air. This is the start of her life in the world of radio.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Recommended by <a href=\"https:\/\/avo-magazine.nl\/en\/author\/seraphinne\/\">Fran<\/a>:<br \/>\n<\/strong>Wave, Listen to Me! is made by Blade of the Immortal creator Hiroaki Samura, which should make some heads turn. Interesting is that the story revolves around a female character, after watching the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=qV1Uyn9rDEA\">promotional videos<\/a>, the story gives off a mature feel. The manga series is still ongoing, so it would probably not have a satisfying ending. In total there are 6 volumes of the manga. Another interesting fact: tacica (from Sapporo) will perform the series&#8217; opening theme song and Harumi (originally from the Philippines) will contribute to the series&#8217; ending theme song.<\/p>\n<h4><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-42315\" src=\"https:\/\/avo-magazine.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/LISTENERS.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"255\" height=\"360\" \/>LISTENERS<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Type:<\/strong> Anime<br \/>\n<strong>Studio:<\/strong> MAPPA<br \/>\n<strong>Genres: <\/strong>Sci-Fi, Music<\/p>\n<p><strong>Starts Airing:<\/strong> 4<sup>th<\/sup> of April<br \/>\n<strong>Number of Episodes:<\/strong> Unknown<\/p>\n<p>A journey into the history of rock music set in a world where music no longer exists.

Next to Pok\u00e9mon it was the talk of the day when you got back to school. And now they\u2019re bringing back the original cast in an all-new, updated adventure! So whether you\u2019re in on the nostalgia train, or all-new, it\u2019s enjoyable nonetheless (and safe for the little ones too).<\/p>\n<h4><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-42319\" src=\"https:\/\/avo-magazine.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Violet-Evergarden-Movie.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"255\" height=\"363\" \/>Violet Evergarden (\u5287\u5834\u7248 \u30f4\u30a1\u30a4\u30aa\u30ec\u30c3\u30c8\u30fb\u30a8\u30f4\u30a1\u30fc\u30ac\u30fc\u30c7\u30f3)<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Type:<\/strong> Film<br \/>\n<strong>Studio:<\/strong> Kyoto Animation<br \/>\n<strong>Genres:<\/strong> Drama, Fantasy, Slice of Life<\/p>\n<p><strong>Starts airing:<\/strong> 24<sup>th<\/sup> of April<\/p>\n<p>Violet Evergarden has left the battlefield and started a new life with the CH Postal Service.

However the promo video\u2019s so far, seem very touching. As well the multiple release delays show that they worked hard and long for this movie. I am a big fan of the Violet Evergarden anime myself, so I am excited about this movie. I am not one who easily gets touched by an anime or story, but this anime sure has been a tear-jerker for me. A beautiful anime with a beautiful storyline, predicts a movie just as good!<\/p>\n<h4><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-42321\" src=\"https:\/\/avo-magazine.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Fugou-Keiji-Balance-UNLIMITED.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"255\" height=\"360\" \/>Fugou Keiji: Balance:UNLIMITED (\u5bcc\u8c6a\u5211\u4e8b Balance:UNLIMITED)<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Type:<\/strong> Anime<br \/>\n<strong>Studio:<\/strong> CloverWorks<br \/>\n<strong>Genres:<\/strong> Mystery<br \/>\n<em>Based on Yasutaka Tsutsui&#8217;s novel, Fugou Keiji.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Starts airing:<\/strong> April<br \/>\n<strong>Number of episodes:<\/strong> 11<\/p>\n<p>The story of this series centres around millionaire Daisuke Kambe, an heir to one of the wealthiest families in Japan, but also a detective to the so-called Modern Crime Prevention Task Force (aka MCPTF) at the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.
