But my top are... (not by any order) - Btw, a lot of isekais again... not that I am complaining :D

1) Arifureta Shokugyou de Sekai Saikyou Asread and White Fox
Seventeen-year-old Hajime Nagumo is your average, everyday otaku. However, his simple life of pulling all-nighters and sleeping in school is suddenly turned upside down when he, along with the rest of his class, is summoned to a fantasy world! They're treated like heroes and tasked with the duty of saving the human race from utter extinction. But what should have been any otaku's wet dream quickly turns into Hajime's nightmare. While the rest of his class are blessed with godlike powers, Hajime's job, Synergist, only has a single transmutation skill. Ridiculed and bullied by his classmates for being weak, he soon finds himself in despair. Will he be able to survive in this dangerous world of monsters and demons with only a glorified blacksmith's level of strength?

2) Dr. Stone
One fateful day, all of humanity was petrified by a blinding flash of light. After several millennia, high schooler Taiju awakens and finds himself lost in a world of statues. However, he’s not alone! His science-loving friend Senku’s been up and running for a few months and he's got a grand plan in mind—to kickstart civilization with the power of science!

3) Dungeon ni Deai wo Motomeru no wa Machigatteiru Darou ka II
4) Karakai Jouzu no Takagi-san 2
5) Yami Shibai 7

Year 198 of the Solar Era in Tokyo, special fire brigades are fighting against a phenomenon called spontaneous human combustion where humans beings are turned into living infernos called "Infernals". While the Infernals are first generation cases of spontaneous human combustion, later generations possess the ability to manipulate flames while retaining human form. Shinra Kusakabe, a youth who gained the nickname Devil's Footprints for his ability to ignite his feet at will, joins the Special Fire Force Company 8 which composes of other flames users as they work to extinguish any Infernals they encounter. As a faction that is creating Infernals appears, Shira begins to uncover the truth behind a mysterious fire that caused the death of his family twelve years ago.

7) Tsuujou Kougeki ga Zentai Kougeki de Ni-kai Kougeki no Okaasan wa Suki Desu ka?
Just when Masato thought that a random survey conducted in school was over, he got involved in a secret Government scheme. As he was carried along with the flow, he ended up in a Game world! As if that wasn't enough, shockingly, his mother was there as well! It was a little different from a typical transported to another world setting, but after some bickering,

"Mom wants go on an adventure together with Maa-kun. Can mom become Maa-kun's companion?"

With that, Masato and Mamako began their adventure as a mother and son pair. They met Porta, a cute traveling merchant, and Wise, a regrettable philosopher. Along with their new party members, Masato and co. start on their journey.

8) Vinland Saga
For a thousand years, the Vikings have made quite a name and reputation for themselves as the strongest families with a thirst for violence. Thorfinn, the son of one of the Vikings' greatest warriors, spends his boyhood in a battlefield enhancing his skills in his adventure to redeem his most-desired revenge after his father was murdered.

9) Uchi no Ko no Tame naraba, Ore wa Moshikashitara Maou mo Taoseru kamo Shirenai.
Dale is a cool, composed, and highly skilled adventurer who's made quite a name for himself despite his youth. One day on a job deep in the forest, he comes across a little devil girl who's almost wasted away. Unable to just leave her there to die, Dale takes her home and becomes her adoptive father.

Devil or not, Latina is beyond adorable, and the adventurer soon finds himself head over heels with being a parent.

But why was she out in the forest to begin with, and why does she carry the mark of a criminal?

High Hopes
Araburu Kisetsu no Otome-domo yo. This show is being done by Lay-Duce which made Release the SpyceItsudatte Bokura no Koi wa 10 cm Datta.. (one of my favourite romance shows) and Classroom☆Crisis


Bem - Bem, Bela, and Belo are ugly humanoid youkai who fight for justice. They live among humans and protect them from evil youkai. The three find themselves ostracized from both humans and other youkai, but the three continue to fight in hopes of one day becoming humans themselves. The trailer seemed cool. So let us hope they turn something out of this... It's original. Looks like action oriented.

Katsute Kami Datta Kemono-tachi e it's from MAPPA so need I say more? It seems a fantasy and action packed.  They created Dororo which has some very interesting battle scenes; Inuyashiki renowned for the special effects and Ushio to Tora ... so highly anticipating.

Mildy Interest

Sounan Desu ka? Looks like interesting show but from a relative new company. The only show they made was Happy Sugar Life which looked like all good sweet stuff and then BANG the psychological horror begns. This one it doesn't seem to be like that and the manga seems not that highly praised...

Granbelm - I highly doubt I will enjoy it but I never say no to trying... Nexus is the creators and they've done Comic Girls or Rakudai Kishi no Cavalry so...  Let us see.

Dumbbell Nan Kilo Moteru? - Since I don't work out maybe this will help - my eyes :D Comedy and Ecchi- Great combination. From Doga Kobo who have been making solid animes. Some of my favourite are Tada-kun wa Koi wo ShinaiGabriel DropOutNew Game!Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun (which I will be watching this year without any doubt - probably in the next two months) and Yuru Yuri

Given it's a shounen ai music show so there's that. I usually don't like that kind of shows but this is from the same creators of Asobi AsobaseHakumei to MikochiKonohana KitanYoukoso Jitsuryoku Shijou Shugi no Kyoushitsu eKuzu no HonkaiDanganronpa 3Gakkougurashi!Ansatsu Kyoushitsu so... I really can't fault in quality departament. This creator has done another manga called Links which is also something of a gay theme so...

Kanata no Astra - ah.. sci-fi. Let us hope it's good. It's from Lerche so check above. The manga is highly acclaim. 

Isekai Cheat Magician - Another isekai.. I just hope he is not overpowered but my hopes are not that high haha Encourage Films is the developers which made Hitorijime My Hero.. yeah basically that.so... mildly to low expectations.

Joshikousei no Mudazukai - don't know who is making but it looks like a comedy and slice of life...so you cannot ever go wrong.

Kawaikereba Hentai demo Suki ni Natte Kuremasu ka? - slice of life, comedy, romance and ecchi. I'm in Heaven :)

Lord El-Melloi II Sei no Jikenbo: Rail Zeppelin Grace Note - looks cool ambient. Mystery and Fantasy connected to Fate Zero so... Troyca were the creators of Yagate Kimi ni NaruRe:Creators; and Aldnoah.Zero

Maou-sama, Retry! - another isekai from the creators of Fumikiri Jikan which I enjoyed. Probably not going 20m episode but who knows...

From Lindefilms come Tejina-senpai and from Gonzo Try Knights


There are some interesting aspects....

There's nothing from A-1 Pictures; Kyoto Animation or P.A. Works (well true be told they are sill airing Fairy Gone but on MAL  it's score it's the lowest from them so far... ) I don't know how it's fairing in Japan so.. This to me is sad because those are three of my favourite studios... Expect a new post on this...
