Fate/Grand Order Temple of Solomon anime green-lit:

I'm not a huge fan of Grand Order, but it's passable.  A conclusion to the saga is always welcome.  The evil mastermind who showed up in the first singularity still hasn't been addressed, plus there's Mash's short lifespan to fix.

The new Higurashi anime is a tv season starting this summer.  Apparently it's a re-adaption of the first three episodes of the original Higurashi into a much more detailed 12 episodes.  If it's based off of the visual novel I think that's a great idea.  More canon Higurashi is always good.

Now that the Bleach manga is going to be fully adapted, it has no value added worth as a manga.  I took it out of my manga rankings and filled the hole with Rumiko Takahashi's early work, Maison Ikkoku.  This was a nice gem I read in full a long time ago, a good addition to my top 75 lineup.

Also, Bleach, which used to be at the top of my anime wishlist, is no longer there as my wish has been granted.  To fill in the hole I added a wish for an Aiyoku no Eustia anime adaption, even though I know it will never happen.  It should though.  What a great visual novel.  I can tell even from what's been partially translated so far.

As for '100 Waifus,' I replaced the 1,000 Year Blood War arc with the 100 Years Quest arc from Fairy Tail.  I thought keeping the '100 Year' part was quite sly.

Bleach, Utawarerumono, Fate/Stay Night and Higurashi all still coming out?  Have we timewarped back to 2004?  I'm emphatically for it.  Happy days are here again.  The future of anime was looking pretty grim once Railgun S3 and SAO S3 ended, but now it's clear skies, bright and sunny, as far as the eye can see.
