But after reading the plot, I had to think of the American television series House and, to be honest, I don&#8217;t mind seeing an animation series out of it.<\/p>\n<h4><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-49041\" src=\"https:\/\/avo-magazine.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Beastars-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"255\" height=\"360\" \/>BEASTARS 2 (BEASTARS 2\u671f)<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Type:<\/strong> Anime<br \/>\n<strong>Studio:<\/strong> Orange<br \/>\n<strong>Genres:<\/strong> Slice of Life, Psychologisch, Drama, Shounen<br \/>\n<em>Based on the eponymous manga by Paru Itagaki.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Starts airing:<\/strong> January 5<sup>th<br \/>\n<\/sup><strong>Number of episodes:<\/strong> Unknown<\/p>\n<p>BEASTARS 2 will continue the story where season 1 had stopped.

This will be the fourth instalment since the Sailor Moon reboot by Toei Animation. As already known by most, the Sailor Moon series was given a complete reboot in 2014 that follows up on the manga by Naoko Takeuchi very closely, retelling the story of Usagi Kinomoto and her Sailor Senshi. The sequel following season 3 was announced in Januari 2017, as part of the 25th anniversary of the franchise. At a later date it was made public that the sequel will consist of two movies that will focus on the Dream Arc as the main story.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Recommended by <a href=\"https:\/\/avo-magazine.nl\/en\/author\/anvica\/\">Anvica<\/a>:<br \/>\n<\/strong>The success surrounding the Sailor Moon has surely not gone unnoticed, the renewing of the story has made older fans of the series rekindle their fire while more people were only just discovering as it being something completely new. If you\u2019re caught up on the story or just want to watch more Sailor Moon it\u2019s a good idea to keep an eye on the release dates for these two movies.<\/p>\n<h4><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-49045\" src=\"https:\/\/avo-magazine.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Gintama_The-Final.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"255\" height=\"361\" \/>Gintama: The Final (\u9280\u9b42 THE FINAL)<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Type:<\/strong> Film<br \/>\n<strong>Studio:<\/strong> Bandai Namco Pictures<br \/>\n<strong>Genres:<\/strong> Shounen, Comedy, Action, Sci-fi, Drama, History, Parody<\/p>\n<p><strong>Starts airing:<\/strong> January 8th<\/p>\n<p>Picking up where the series abruptly left off, as Gintoki returned to Edo for the first time since setting out to explore the world after the fallout of the confrontation with Utsuro. The movie is adapting the last few chapters of the manga.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Recommended by <a href=\"https:\/\/avo-magazine.nl\/en\/author\/alexd\/\">AlexD<\/a>:<br \/>\n<\/strong>This marks the third time the Gintama anime claims it is going to end and with the manga finished, it probably will be for real this time. Either way, the movie seems to have a higher animation budget as the trailers look like a real step up from the previous anime series and even the last 2 films. This seems like the greatest way to finish it off, it will be emotional for sure.<\/p>\n<h4><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-49047\" src=\"https:\/\/avo-magazine.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Horimiya.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"255\" height=\"359\" \/>Horimiya (\u30db\u30ea\u30df\u30e4)<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Type:<\/strong>\u00a0Anime<br \/>\n<strong>Studio:<\/strong> CloverWorks<br \/>\n<strong>Genres:<\/strong>\u00a0Slice of Life, Comedy, Romance, School, Shounen<br \/>\n<em>Based on the eponymous manga by Daisuke Hagiwara and HERO.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Starts airing:<\/strong> January 10<sup>th<br \/>\n<\/sup><strong>Number of episodes:<\/strong> Unknown<\/p>\n<p>Horimiya, also known as Hori-san and Miyamura-kun, centers around two classmates and their chance encounter outside of school.

To be honest the first thing that drew me to the manga was Izumi\u2019s look, when he\u2019s not at school. Once I started reading I was hooked by the fun and at times adorable storyline and I think it is definitely a suitable series for those who like romance anime.<\/p>\n<h4><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-49049\" src=\"https:\/\/avo-magazine.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Cells-at-Work_Code-Black.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"255\" height=\"362\" \/>Cells at Work!

This series is most likely going to kick that up a notch as the body is unhealthy this time round. Not only fact, it is airing alongside season 2 of the normal show which will be interesting to compare.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-49072\" src=\"https:\/\/avo-magazine.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Maiko-san-Chi-no-Makanai-san-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"255\" height=\"374\" \/><\/p>\n<h4>Maiko-san Chi no Makanai-san (\u821e\u5993\u3055\u3093\u3061\u306e\u307e\u304b\u306a\u3044\u3055\u3093)<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Type:<\/strong> Anime<br \/>\n<strong>Studio:<\/strong> Unknown<br \/>\n<strong>Genres:<\/strong> Slice of Life, Comedy, Shounen<br \/>\n<em>Based on the eponymous manga by Aiko Koyama.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Starts airing:<\/strong> February<br \/>\n<strong>Number of episodes:<\/strong> Unknown<\/p>\n<p>In this series, you will see Kiyo who travelled to Kyoto from Aomori to become a maiko (apprentice geisha), just like her childhood friend Sumire.

If you find Kyoto and geisha fascinating, this might be an interesting anime series for you. Especially since this series is a story about Hanamachi, the geisha quarter in Kyoto. The manga series got awarded a Shogakukan Award for best Shounen Manga earlier this year.<\/p>\n<h4><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-49055\" src=\"https:\/\/avo-magazine.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/High-Rise-Invasion.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"255\" height=\"374\" \/>High-Rise Invasion (\u5929\u7a7a\u4fb5\u72af, Tenkuu Shinpan)<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Type:<\/strong> Anime<br \/>\n<strong>Studio:<\/strong> Zero-G<br \/>\n<strong>Genres:<\/strong> Action, Mystery, Horror<br \/>\n<em>Based on the eponymous manga by Tsuina Miura.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Starts airing:<\/strong> February<br \/>\n<strong>Number of episodes:<\/strong> Unknown<\/p>\n<p>High-Rise in the title does refer to (extreme) heights, skyscrapers specifically.

For the wintertime, I always look forward to some mystery and horror series, just because I find it kind of fitting for this season. It is sooner dark outside and cold, time to get wrapped up in something warm and enjoy some creepy series.

As an addition to this movie next year a different story by mangaka Yoneda Kou will be featured in a new adaption while we wait for part 2 of the film. This OVA will be based on the one-shot manga that appeared in the manga containing the original story of Saezuru Tori Wa Habatakanai. The focus of this story will be around two people we briefly met in the animated film mentioned earlier namely the obscure doctor of the underworld Kanji Kageyama and \u2018Mad Dog\u2019 Eishin Kuga. We will see how the story of these seemingly polar opposites will develop into a meaningful relationship.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Recommended by <a href=\"https:\/\/avo-magazine.nl\/en\/author\/anvica\/\">Anvica<\/a>:<br \/>\n<\/strong>I recommend this OVA because the stories written by this mangaka are usually heavy but go quite deep, it\u2019s not that there aren\u2019t any other series that have these qualities but the amount of Yaoi that are being animated are usually not known for their in-depth content or interesting story development. It will be captivating to see how the original short story of Don\u2019t Stay Gold will be made into an anime.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Which\u00a0serie(s) are you going to watch?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019d like to see the anime you\u2019re looking forward to most in next seasons\u2019 list, become a writer for\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/avo-magazine.com\/en\/join-avo-magazine\/\">AVO Magazine<\/a>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Winter is coming and due to the current COVID-19 pandemic, and all the restrictions in place, we\u2019re all spending a little more time inside than usual, for a good cause.
