Air date: April 1, 2017Danmachi: Sword Oratoria
Boruto: Naruto Next Generations
Alice & Zouroku
I decided to watch this series because, one, it's from J.C. Staff which is one of my favorite studios, and two, it looks like it's will be a sweet series just like Sweetness and Lightning or Barakamon. Of course this show is more fantasy and supernatural. The fantasy story begins with a group of young girls who hold a power named "Alice's Dream," which allows them to make their imaginations come true. These girls have been locked up and treated as research subjects. Sana, one of these girls whose specific power includes the ability ignore the laws of physics and physically manifest anything she can imagine, has escaped. Afterwards, she meets an old man named Zouroku, who dislikes disruptions in his everyday life. Air Date: April 2, 2017
Re:CREATORS
This new anime is from Black Lagoon creator, Rei Hiroe, and animated by Studio Troyca. Humans have created many stories. Joy, sadness, anger, deep emotion. Stories shake our emotions, and fascinate us. However, these are only the thoughts of bystanders. But what if the characters in the story have "intentions"? To them, are we god-like existences for bringing their story into the world? Our world is changed. Mete out punishment upon the realm of the gods. In Re:CREATORS, everyone becomes a Creator. Air date: April 8, 2017
Tsuki ga Kirei
It's been a while since I've watched a romance anime, probably since Snow White with the Red Hair 2, so I decided to pick up this title. The series focuses on characters Akane Mizuno and Kotarou Azumi, two third-year middle school students who become classmates for the first time. The series will depict each characters' growth and connection to the people around them, such as classmates, club-mates, teachers, and parents. The anime will also center on the youthful adolescent romance of the characters, who are hounded by change and uncertainty as the seasons inevitably pass. Air Date: April 7, 2017
SAKURA QUEST
The anime I'm most excited for is SAKURA QUEST. I love any anime from P.A.Works and if you enjoyed Shirobako, you'll enjoy this. The story centers on five girls who work in the tourism bureau of their small provincial town. The town revives its "micro-nation" tourism program, which originated from a nationwide movement during Japan's bubble economy period, and hires the five girls as "monarchs" (tourism ambassadors). The anime will depict one year in their jobs in the tourism industry, and show how they change and grow. Air Date: April 5, 2017
I hope you found my wishlist interesting and you can check for more anime coming up this simulcast season by going to Anichart.
Sakura Quest has a unique story, it's the only anime I'm watching this season!
