Quick Look at the 2016 Summer Season

In just a few days a whole new crop of anime titles will hit the airwaves.  Based on prior knowledge or little to no concrete information, here are the one's that have appeared on my radar.


91Days: Japan's attempt at telling a story set in the gritty bullet soaked world of Prohibition Era' mafia wars.


Berserk: The television return of legendarily brutal fantasy series about destruction and murder.  A lot of old school otaku are going to be pissed this is 3d CG.


Fudanshi Koko Seikatsu: A slice of life romp about a normal guy who loves BL manga and his like minded friends.
 

Handa-kun: The prequel to Barakamon, detailing the younger Handa as he begins his journey into the world of professional calligrapher.


Hatsukoi Monster: This season's reverse harem
 

Heroic Legend of Arslan: Dust Storm Dance: The continuation of the epic family feud set in a fictional representation of iron age west Asia.


Hitori no Shita the Outcast: Fighting zombies, some kid gaining an unlikely power....oooh, edgy.




Honobono Log: Easy going slice of life series about ordinary life.


Mob Psycho 100: Another series of weirdness by the creator of One Punch Man.
 


New Game: Video game version of Shirobako but probably as boring as Seiyu Life.


Orange: Romance drama about friends trying to change the past to save a friend from suicide.

ReLife: Out of work/luck slacker returns to school in an experiment to see if he can make something of himself.


Saiki Kusuo no Psi Nan: One kid learns that gaining psychic powers isn't as cool as it seems.



Sweetness and Lightening:  Widower high school teacher bonds with his young daughter through learning to cook.
