Reviews and comments

The long-awaited second season of Tokyo Revengers anime! I do not dare read the original work and only follow the anime, so I’m looking forward to it with the feeling that it’s finally here! I’m looking forward to it more than the first season! (Efro)

I’ve seen both the original and the first anime season of Tokyo Revengers, so I’m really looking forward to it. I am especially impressed with the Holy Night Battle Arc because it was very exciting in the original story. It will be interesting to see the new characters and delve into them. I’m looking forward to seeing how the story about the brothers, which can be a little moving, will be portrayed in the anime! (mmmm)

I’m really looking forward to seeing my favorite characters in the Tokyo Revengers Holy Night Battle Arc. I have read the manga up to the latest episode, and I was most thrilled and amused by this episode. (Mei)

I’m really looking forward to the story, which will mainly focus on Hakkai Shiba, the second-in-command of the second squadron! If it’s the same as the original story, Mikey and Draken will be cool and play an active role in breaking off certainties, so I’m looking forward to that as well. (Ringo Man)

The manga has finally been completed, so now I can concentrate on the anime. The second season of the series, “Holy Night Battle Arc,” which will be broadcast this time, has a lot of action and also talks about complicated family problems, so I hope that young children will feel familiar with the story and see the family trying to overcome the problems. (Sumino)

The Ranking of Anticipated New Anime of Winter 2023: No.2 “JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean (Episode 25 to Final Episode)”

Release Year: 2023
Director: Kenichi Suzuki
Original Work:”Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure” by Hirohiko Araki
Production Company: david production

Second place is “JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean,” from episodes 25 to the last. It is the fifth season of the series, which is an anime adaptation of the popular manga series that have sold more than 120 million copies worldwide. The story features Jolyne Cujoh, a daughter of Jotaro Kujo, who combines the golden spirit of the Joestar family, the tough mental strength inherited from Jotaro, and the supple sensitivity of a woman. The film depicts Jolyne, who learns of Enrico Pucci ambitions, as she and her friends take up the fight against the destiny of the Joestar family and DIO. The thrilling storyline and battle scenes using mysterious stands are highlights of the film. The stylish and high-quality animation will capture the hearts of fans.

Impressions and Reviews

I think the conclusion of Stone Ocean is a break in the story that has continued as “JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure”. I think it beautifully describes the experience of fighting up to this point, the process of hunting down and defeating Pucci, the mastermind along with his friends, and the appearance of one of the best cheat abilities in the work, “Time,” so it is a must-see. (Mame)

I’ve watched the entire JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure series. The characters are stylish and their movements and poses are cool. The colors are beautiful and it’s fun to watch, so I’m looking forward to the conclusion of Stone Ocean, which will be a very exciting development for sure I think. (Zozozo3)

We have been following the entire JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure series from the first to the fifth season of the past anime. This time, it is finally the final chapter. The final battle with Enrico Pucci is a rather complicated and bizarre stand battle in the original comics, so I am hoping that the visualization will make the situation easier to understand and will help us understand the story better. (Ruru)

The JoJo anime series had many concerns before it was broadcast, such as whether it would be able to really bring out all the charm of the original work, but the quality of the anime adaptation has always far exceeded my expectations from the first part. This anime will mark the end of the story that has continued from Part 1 with Stone Ocean, so I have high expectations for the end of that story as well. (ANKIMO)

This work should be called the conclusion of the relationship between Jolyne and Enrico Pucci, and the Joestar family and DIO. The JoJo series have been around for many years, and this film will be a major milestone in the sense that will bring the series to a conclusion. I feel a great sense of anticipation and tension in watching this film comes to an end. (MAKOTO)

The Ranking of Anticipated New Anime of Winter 2023: No.2 “The Way of the Househusband Season 2”

Also second place was “The Way of the Househusband Season 2”, a sequel to the 2021 anime series based on the popular comic of the same title by Kousuke Oono. The story is an at-home chivalry comedy about a legendary yakuza, Tatsu, once known as “the immortal Tatsu,” who, upon getting married, washes his hands of the yakuza world and becomes a full-time househusband while supporting his career-woman wife, Miku. The highlight of the film is that Tatsu, who still looks and speaks the same way he did when he was a yakuza, is misunderstood by those around him, but he takes his full-time househusband duties very seriously and handles all household chores with ease, making the viewers laugh and cry. Season 2 will be distributed exclusively worldwide on Netflix from January 2023.

Reviews and comments

Season 1 was interesting and I was hooked. I’m really looking forward to seeing what happens to the characters in the next season. (Mami)

Season 1 was a perfect recreation of the original and so much fun that fans of the original will definitely enjoy the next installment. (Eteruno)

I watched the first film, and it was very well done, so I have high hopes for the Season 2. (Takuma)

Season 1 was even better than I expected and I even enjoyed the original manga after watching the anime, so I have high hopes for season 2. Tatsu’s words, actions, and atmosphere are completely consistent with his voice, which make me laugh. I’m a fan of Kenjiro Tsuda, who did a voice of Tatsu, so I can’t miss it to listen to his voice. (dec)

I became a fan of The Way of the Househusband Season after watching the TV drama version. I enjoyed the anime as well, and now that I know that season 2 is starting, I’m really looking forward to it. I love Tatsu’s appearance and the gap between his appearance and that of a househusband. (Fuu)

Release Year: 2023

It’s a vampire comedy. The story follows Ronaldo, a vampire hunter who is paired up with Draluc, an immortal vampire who soon dies and turns to ash, and John, a lovable armadillo. They try to maintain peace and order in the city by solving various vampire-related cases, facing off against an editor, who is scarier than vampires to come to collects the manuscript of novels. They also play shitty games and write reviews.
The tempo of depelopment and slapstick between Draluc and Ronaldo, and a rush of gags make you laugh!

Reviews and comments

I watched the first season and enjoyed it, so I anticipate the second! I’m glad that the voice of the voice actor Jun Fukuyama, who plays the vampire Draluc, was quite fitting. I am looking forward to seeing the slapstick between Draluc and Ronaldo again. (Shiroimaruineko)

A friend of mine recommended me to watch the previous season, and I liked it so much that I watched it in one sitting, so I am very much looking forward to Season 2. I like the tempo and the drawings, and I can enjoy the show with a variety of emotions, such as giggling, feeling sad, and being thrilled. (Nachi)

The first season was very interesting. The voice actors are also gorgeous. Basically, each episode is complete, so it doesn’t matter if you haven’t seen the previous episode, and it’s full of gags, so it’s easy and fun to watch. The characters all have strong personalities, and it will be fun to see how they interact with the new characters. The stable drawing work makes my expectations high. (Nabe Z)

The first season was very interesting, so I have high expectations for the second season. The activities of Dralc and Ronald are good, but I am most looking forward to the activities of John, the adorable armadillo. (Yukke09)

You can watch the short stories at once, so you can enjoy in rhythm. Season 1 was very interesting and the voice actors were gorgeous, so I have high expectations for Season 2. (Aya)

The Ranking of Anticipated New Anime of Winter 2023: No.5 “NieR: Automata Ver1.1a”

Quote:Twitter

Release Year: 2023
Director: Ryouji Masuyama
Original Work: “NieR: Automata” by Square Enix
Production Company: A-1 Pictures
Official Site

Fifth place is “NieR: Automata Ver1.1a,” an anime based on the hugely popular action RPG “NieR: Automata.” Its overwhelming visual beauty and unique worldview have captivated people around the world. The story is set thousands of years after the era of the previous “NieR Gestalt/Replicant,” in a future where humans have been chased to the moon by an alien invasion. It depicts battles between android soldiers on the human side and weapons and machine life forms created by aliens, as well as the main character’s growth. The game uses a multiple ending system and has a total of 26 different stories from A to Z. It will be interesting to see which routes will be chosen in the anime and whether the ending will be an existing one or an original ending.

Reviews and comments

I have played the NieR game, and it was a dark fantasy game filled with a decadent atmosphere, yet it was very beautiful. After I heard that the game was going to be made into an anime, I am very much looking forward to seeing how they will express that worldview in the anime. (Mimi)

I have high expectations for this anime adaptation of a game that has gained popularity for its overwhelming visual beauty, unique worldview, and various endings. I am also interested in whether the ending will be the same as the game or whether it will be an original anime ending. (Nick)

I played the NieR Automata game, and I’m anxious to see how the anime will express that decadent worldview. The characters are also attractive, so I’m looking forward to it. (Mimi)

I have already played the original game and there is no doubt that the story is interesting, so my expectations are high. The fact that the production company is A-1 Pictures is also trustworthy. The director also said that the staffs have love for the original story, and since Yoko Taro, who came up with the original story, is also involved in the series composition, I expect that there will be a new story while following the original story well… I have high expectations for it. (riy)

I’m looking forward to this title, which was originally released as a game, with so many endings and beautiful images, and I have many expectations about which routes to take and how far the descriptions will go in expressing them. (Eruku)

The Ranking of Anticipated New Anime of Winter 2023: No.6 “BOFURI: I Don’t Want to Get Hurt, so I’ll Max Out My Defense. 2”

Quote:Twitter

Release Year: 2023
Director: Shin Onuma
Original Work: “I Don’t Want to Get Hurt, so I’ll Max Out My Defense.” by Yuumikan
Production Company: SILVER LINK.
Theme Song: “Konotateni, Kakuremasu.” by Junjou no Afilia
Official Site

Sixth place is “I Don’t Want to Get Hurt, so I’ll Max Out My Defense. 2”, a sequel to the series that was adapted into an anime in 2020, based on the popular novel of the same title by Yuumikan. The story is about a curious young girl, Honjo Kaede, who is encouraged by a friend to play the VRMMO “NewWorld Online”. She started playing under the name “Maple” and chose to use a “large shield,” which is a defensive weapon because she “doesn’t want to get hurt”. She became a famous player as a ruthless boss by accident after she got vicious skills. In Season 2, we will see Maple on the rampage with her unique characters in a world where a new level has been implemented.

Reviews and comments

I have been looking forward to seeing the anime version of this work since it was first posted on the website “Shosestuka ni Naro”. I am very happy that the anime version will allow me to better understand the movements and expressions of the main character, which I could only imagine in the novel. This is the second in the series, so I have high expectations for this work, and I hope it will continue in the future. (Honobono)

I’m looking forward to seeing Maple’s growth and how the surprisingly well-balanced team will grow in the second season, as they gain unconscious cheat strength in the first season. (Mashimashi)

The end of Season 1 was supposed to be all about defense, but it was all about destruction, like a disaster-class ruthless boss, so I’m really looking forward to seeing who will go up against the ruthless Maple. (FL)

In the first season, it was interesting to see Maple shows her natural personality and becomes like a cheat more, doing things she wouldn’t normally do. I like Maple the best as a character, but I also like the characters who come out because of their personalities. I like the fact that even though they are enemies, there is no sense of awkwardness, and they are all friendly and relaxed. (Maron)

I like the easygoing characteristic of main character. I also like the process in which she becomes stronger after setting herself up as a useless person by shifting her defenses as much as she can. I also enjoy the development of skills from an angle of the imagination, and the development that can be forgiven because the main character is natural is also interesting. As for the story, since the game is set up in a hierarchical manner, I feel that changing the hierarchy has the potential to completely change the worldview, and I look forward to seeing the protagonist’s unusual behavior and team battles after the hierarchy is changed in the second season. (Tamajiisan)

The Ranking of Anticipated New Anime of Winter 2023: No.7 “Ayakashi Triangle”

Matsuri is a first-year high school student and watches over his childhood friend Suzu Kanade, a girl who is easily favored by the demons, but Suzu picks up a demon named Shirogane, who looks like a cat but reigns supreme over all demons. The highlight of the story is the intertwining of the two: Matsuri, who has been transformed into a woman’s body by a secret technique called “gender swapped” during a battle with Shirogane, and Suzu, whose constitution attracts the demons. The characters are so cute that many fans are eager to see them in action, and many have expressed their joy and expectations for the anime adaptation.

Reviews and comments

I’ve been a fan of Yabuki-sensei since the “To Love ru” series, and I also read “Ayakashi Triangle” manga. This time the animation will be started so I’m looking forward to the broadcast. (Ren)

I’m looking forward to it because I love the works of the author, Kentaro Yabuki. (Command)

The story is packed with action and sex appeal, as it is the work of Mr. Yabuki, who wrote an animated version of this work before this one. I have high expectations that the anime will be just as great as the past. (Uchida)

I really like the cute girl characters drawn by Kentaro Yabuki, so I am very happy to see them moving in the anime. I especially love the heroine Suzu, both in appearance and personality, so I am looking forward to seeing her in a new light. (Pasuterudori)

I like Yabuki-sensei’s new and different style from comics for boys, such as gender swapped and demons, which is different from shonen manga (boys’ commic). (Ohagi)

I was surprised that Gudetama going on a journey with Shakipiyo to search for their mother, and I’m excited to see the different Gudetama. (Ran)

I’m a fan of Gudetama, so I’m looking forward to it. (Gon)

I know the character Gudetama, of course, but I’ve never seen the Gudetama series of animations, so I’d like to see them. (mo3177chi)

I like it because no matter how stressful I am, it makes me smile naturally. (Tofu)

The story is not too heavy, and it seems to develop with Gudetama’s unique sluggishness in some parts. I am looking forward to seeing it because it seems to be watched in a lighthearted way, even if I am tired of my daily life. (Ririraku)

Fans of the original work are looking forward to seeing how the anime adaptation will express its unique, heartwarming worldview.

Reviews and comments

I’ve watched all of the animated TV series and the movie series, and now we’re finally in the fourth season! It looks like it’s going to be even more powerful and interesting” (Pepperon)
