NOTE: This post will remain sticky for quite some time.
I know it’s still a little early but with my exams coming up figured I would post the Summer Preview in advance and then make adjustments to it as necessary. I’m saddened by the fact that the spring season is almost halfway through and looking ahead to the summer I can honestly say that I’m not going to enjoy it as much as I did the spring season.
With me having essay deadlines and exams approaching I’m going to stop writing series reviews and posts which are not episodic reviews that I’m currently reviewing; the episodic and Weekly Shonen Jump Issue reviews shall continue but all other reviews will stop until the end of June.
Before I go on with the preview please note that it’s still not complete and will be done so as soon as more information, previews and confirmations have been made – you might notice that the list doesn’t contain any original works, which might not be the case when the season starts – and also, I’m not sure whether the following anime will air this summer but if you do know (or about any others) please leave a comment:
