Spring is usually my favorite season. It's where I found shows like MHA, and Kekkai Sensen. I've gotta say there are a lot of shows I'm eagerly anticipating. I'll do a tier list for them. This does not mean I'll watch every show here.

HIGH INTEREST:
Hell's Paradise
My Love Story with Yamada-kun at Lv999
The Dangers in My Heart
Skip and Loafer
Dr. Stone
Demon Slayer
Ranking of Kings
Insomniacs After School
Rokudo's Bad Girls
A Galaxy Next Door

MID INTEREST
Heavenly Delusion
Ao no Orchestra
Mashle
The Legendary Hero Is Dead
Too Cute Crisis
Oshi no Ko

LOW INTEREST
KonoSuba (I haven't seen anything from this franchise yet)
The Witch from Mercury (need to watch the prologue and first cour)
Otaku Elf
The Cafe Terrace and its Goddesses
Sacrificial Princess and the King of Beasts
My Clueless First Friend (almost forgot this)

NO INTEREST
The rest...

The PV that impressed me the most was Skip and Loafer, everything else I'm going to watch is just based on staff. But on that note, I'm definitely expecting Dead Mount to be great given it's written by Narita

Absolutely Skip and Loafer and Insomniacs After School. Both look amazing and are setting up a Spring season of cozy vibes. I'm going to cautiously go into the new season of The Ancient Magus Bride. I love the series dearly, but I've never been enamored with the "magical/wizard school" setting(though it's done pretty decently here), and we've just finished this arc in the manga after 5 goddamn years. I'm giving it the benefit of the doubt, however, because it looks good and they did a good job pacing the first season without really cutting anything.

So far I'm only going to be watching adaptions of manga I'm already reading and am not sure if I'll check out anything new.

This season is a battle between Skip to Loafer and Insomniacs After School.
As shame that both have to dispute attention from the public during the same season.


A shame also is Magus Bride 2... definitively I'll not waste time watching it know what comes next from the manga. It's so disappointing IMO.

Oshi no Ko is the undisputed number 1. Dr. Stone at 2.

Honestly, I could list a bunch of series here, but I think it's only going to be these 3: Witch from Mercury's 2nd cour, Kuma Bear S2 and Oshi no Ko. I might check out Insomniacs, the KonoSuba spinoff and U149, but no promises. I literally skipped the whole season last time, but with Gundam on the menu, that won't happen.

Looking forward to seeing all the new characters in Ancient Magus’ Bride s2

Other anticipated titles:
Skip and Loafer
Heavenly delusion (simulcast pls Disney+)
Hell’s Paradise can’t wait to see Shion. Hope they’re not going to speedrun the manga…

I could make a list, but I will likely end up watching like 25 shows or so, so most of the season (like usual). I look forward the most towards Dr Stone and more Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear.

Magus Bride and Dr. Stone. This upcoming season is shaping nicely with some 15 shows that I want to watch, but those two mentioned shows are easily my most anticipated.

As far as new IP's Insomniacs After School looks like it could be a great show.

Skip & Loafer, Sacrificial Princess & the King of Beasts, Hell's Paradise, Insomniacs After School, & Heavenly Delusion all look worth checking out to me. Personally super tired of the "villainess/side character gets transported into her favorite story" plots right now that seem to keep popping up, so will probably be skipping Raeliana unless I hear really good things.

And as far as sequels go, I'm most excited for The Ancient Magus Bride S2 and the Ranking of Kings side stories, but I'll be attempting to keep up with G-Witch, Birdie Wing, Dr. Stone, & Demon Slayer too.

I was also similarly turned off of Oshi no Ko's early chapters but never revisited it, so sounds like I should pick that back up.

Rueben Lack, one of the ADR directors working for Disney+ has been pretty vocal recently about it being simulcast worldwide which gives me at least some hope. Would be better if the streaming service themselves promoted it but lol, it's Disney+ so of course who really knows until it's out or not?

I am looking forward to Blue Orchestra, Sacrificial Princess and the King of Beasts, TONIKAWA S2, Tokyo Mew Mew New S2 and Why Raeliana Ended Up at the Duke’s Mansion (I read the manhwa, it was great!).

I’m also continuing Soaring Sky! Pretty Cure and can’t WAIT for Cure Wing’s debut next week![/b]

The previews of this Spring season didn't left an impression on me except maybe that Korean romance. They seem to produce lots of "palace romance" manga, and it is often quite OK.

For the rest it will be probably just the next season of some classics.

Should be obvious that Oshi no Ko will be AOTY

A status held by Chainsaw Man just a few seasons ago.

A title drummed up on social media, sometimes to the point of overhyping. As the time goes, hype level decreases, sometimes leading to this.
It's a cycle, I guess. Which makes me wonder, what is the next super-duper big thing?

Wow reading the synopsis its sounds like a complete (probably intentional) garbage fire, you're probably right then.
