By postponing Railgun, SAO, Re:Zero and Oregairu to July, we're now looking at an incredible blockbuster summer season. We may not be watching much of anything right now, but just one month from now, wow.
There's bound to be new summer shows worth watching, too. Plus Mewkledreamy and the like will be back. Major 2nd has already returned and will plow straight into the summer season. Hatena Illusion came back and gave us a proper ending, though the series was so disappointing that nothing could save it at this point.
My total great anime count is hovering around 8877 without moving forward because so few new episodes are coming out that the One Pace project, by condensing and eliminating bloated One Piece episodes, is keeping pace shrinking the total as fast as the rest of anime expands it. It's pretty sad, but that will all end come July when all these series burst forth.
The fall season is no joke, either. It has Strike Witches, Danmachi, Tonikaku Kawaii, Hanyou no Yashahime (Inuyasha's Bolt), Kamisama ni Natta hi (Jun Maeda's work), Kami-tachi ni Hirowareta Otoko (slime taming time), Dragon Quest: Dai no Daibouken, Tatoeba Last Dungeon Mae, and inevitably some other dark horse shows will sparkle. So long as these series aren't postponed yet again, it's going to be dynamite.
2020 can still recover if everything goes as planned! The stock market has almost recovered already. The football season could still open as usual, and then who really cares about baseball or basketball? If the black lives matter riots put an end to the covid-19 shutdown it's a blessing in disguise.
Recently we were blessed with a new chapter of Akame ga Kill! of all things, featuring Kurome bathing in a hot spring and Mine being lovey-dovey with Tatsumi. It doesn't get much better than that.
June has so little going on I've started re-reading '100 Waifus' for the 22nd time. I had hoped to read through the whole book without having to edit anything, but alas, it was not to be. I had to fix some grammar and capitalization issues in chapter 17, plus fix Nayuki's eye color description from gray to its proper blue. It's embarrassing that this went unfixed the first 21 times, but at least now it's right. Maybe that will be all the edits required, but who knows, I can't be sure until the finish line. One thing for sure, it was worth re-reading the book a 22nd time if only to fix Nayuki's eye color. The best book ever shouldn't have such obvious and needless flaws.
WoW Shadowlands should come out this November, so again, if we can just make it through this rough patch 2020 is scheduled to be fun again. At some point the new Shirobako and High School Fleet movies will come out in blu-ray so America can watch them for the first time. And in November, we'll get to watch Trump defeat the brain-dead zombie Biden who couldn't beat a bowl of cereal much less an incumbent.
By replaying FF 7 Remake on hard mode and re-watching Inuyasha in blu-ray, I can eat away at this useless month of June with its no new releases as well. We only live once, so even terrible months like these have to be turned into fun events somehow or other.
