This is as close to a slam dunk as it gets.
#Aot season 2 mal series#
The path with this series is pretty much unidirectional – it only gets better, and the first season was merely a tasting course of what this series has to offer.

It’s been apparent since the first teasers that the sequel was likely to be two cours, and now it’s official. The material was given to a studio in Bones that was pretty much guaranteed not to screw it up (especially with Nagasaki Kenji on-board) and the first season a single cour so as to avoid burning through material too quickly. It’s a marvelous work by a talented young mangaka with a bright future, and it’s no wonder it’s become arguably the most successful of Shounen Jump’s “next gen” properties.Īs it usually does with its valuable franchises, Shueisha is treating BnHA with kid gloves. It’s a classic in every sense of the word – not a deconstruction of the genre but a full-on deep dive into it. Schedule: Premieres Saturday 04/01, 17:30įirst Look: For my money Horikoshi Kouhei’s Boku no Hero Academia may just be the consummate modern shounen. Without further ado, on to the previews:īoku no Hero Academia Second Season – Bones The sidebar poll is in the usual place – go get it. Perhaps most disappointingly for me, there doesn’t seem to be a single new sports series (even a sequel) starting this season. The rest of it is the usual smattering – a bit of shoujo, a bit of romance, a bit of comedy, a token seinen or two. Broadly speaking, fantasy (including historical), magic and magical realism themes seem to be having a moment, as straight sci-fi takes a back seat. What about thematically? For one, there’s a definite resurgence of light novels as a source (including Clockwork Planet, Kabukibu! and Sakurada Reset) which doesn’t do much to make me more optimistic. That’s the thing with lottery tickets – even if you buy a bunch of them, you’re not likely to hit it big. If I had to single out it would likely be Kabukibu, Clockwork Planet, Sakurada Reset and Tsuki ga Kirei, but in truth that amounts to more than a larger than usual sleeper list than a group of elites. What about original (and in this context, I mean “non-sequel”) series? Here’s where it gets a little troublesome, because while there are a whole lot of interesting lottery tickets there’s nothing out there that strikes me as a safe bet to be excellent. I’ll be watching (and blogging, at least to start) both, but I wouldn’t say either the original “Kyoujin” or “Bahamut” ranked as classics in my view. The are a couple of “Shingeki” sequels, too, and one of them may be the most widely-anticipated one in years. Stuff like Natsume Yuujinchou Roku, Boku no Hero Academia 2 and Uchouten Kazoku 2 are above as safe as anime betting gets, and that’s not to mention the rock-steady if rarely flashy Kyoukai no Rinne.

The strength of Spring 2017 seems, on paper, seems to be sequels – it has a ton of pretty promising ones (there are three sequels to series that were on my year-end Top 10 lists). We’ll just have to hope there’s safety in numbers. Without a doubt, the uncertainty factor (partly driven by so many seeming sleepers being LN adaptations) is unusually high this season – other than the sequels, it’s dominated by shows which seem to have a lot of potential but might just as easily be dogs. That number surprised me when I totted it up at the start of this post, because in looking at the schedule it didn’t strike me as an especially promising one. Part of that is simply a function of spring nearly always being the year’s largest schedule, but with that many shows to sample from, the odds are pretty good that a decent number will at least be good enough to blog. This season’s I’m previewing no less than 24 shows, twice what I did for Winter. That, if nothing else, seems likely to change. On the strength of Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu being an all-time great and a couple of reasonably good non-sequels, Winter 2017 may just eclipse Winter 2013 on balance – though thanks to a number of good sequels that season, this is definitely the smallest number of series I’ve ever followed. The less we talk about the season in progress the better, probably – though it does seem to have escaped the doomsday scenario of being the worst anime season on record. Will Spring 2017 be anime’s first step on the road to recovery? At this point, it’s too early to say.
