Shun Kanami grew up on an island and always yearned to ride with horses. Born in England, has Amane Grace lost the path his parents set for him, but he still follows his dream.<\/p>\n

\n<\/strong>As far as I am aware myself, there are close to no Horse-Racing anime series, which make this a different type of sports anime. This anime attracted me, because I grew up between horses myself as well just love watching Horse Racing sports on television. So combining anime and horses, surely gets my attention!<\/p>\n

Recommended by PHX<\/a>:
\n<\/strong>Taken from the mobile game of the same name and set in an alternate version of the world from Puella Madoka Magica<\/em>, this spin-off series threads its story with similarly dark undertones that were present in the original Madoka<\/em> anime. A tale full of friendship, action and tragedy that will touch the heart. I\u2019d advise watching the first 2 series prior to watching this one if you can.<\/p>\n

Recommended by Natsumi:
\n<\/strong>I really like the suspenseful game theme where it is bound to be full of plot twists and \u201cedge of your seat\u201d content. Since it\u2019s already confirmed you will find out who the traitor is it will be a good closed ending as well.<\/p>\n

Recommended by Natsumi:
\n<\/strong>This story has had a manga adaptation from a light novel as well. I am very curious to see how well formulated the hardships before mentioned will be portrayed in an anime series. I also feel this story will translate easily to anyone, not just those who have been up to date with it since the light novel.<\/p>\n

Recommended by\u00a0<\/strong>Yuki<\/a><\/strong>:<\/strong>
\nPersonally, I think this series has everything it needs to be both heart-warming and incredibly funny. Hopefully Shikimori\u2019s switch in attitude will create some funny moments and I wonder how their relationship started and will develop over time. If you also like romance anime, with a funny twist, then this is definitely one you should add to your watchlist.<\/p>\n

\n<\/strong>With various Pok\u00e9mon<\/em> anime, Bang Dream!<\/em> and Adventures of Mini-Goddess<\/em> (high five if you can remember that one) under their belt, the studio has the pedigree for producing good works. The story seems like it could be quite gripping if they get it right. Expect a lot of shocking discoveries and cliffhangers as the story unfolds. A reunion, a ghost story and a battle of good against evil, something for everyone.<\/p>\n

\n<\/strong>The manga series of Spy x Family<\/em> has become hugely popular, and as a Shonen Jump<\/em> fan, it is on my radar. Having not gotten round to reading the series, I\u2019m excited to give it a try through the animation, as the plot has such an interesting set-up to allow both comedic and serious moments. I\u2019m looking forward to seeing how the plot shapes up as it bounces between the two.<\/p>\n

\n<\/strong>I remember watching season 1 a year after it came out, admittedly being a bit unsure about it. However, I was pleasantly surprised and really enjoyed the twists and turns of the series, as it brings something new to the isekai genre. With a darker overall theme, interestingly not in the sense of violence but the drama, with characters that have a lot of depth to them. I\u2019m very excited to see where the plot goes next and how the characters develop further.<\/p>\n
