(Original post by Summary:)
Reina Aharen, a small and cute student with a quiet voice, is quite bad at determining distance and personal space. Sometimes she's inches away from your face, and at other times, miles too far! The only one who tries to understand her antics is Raidou Matsuboshi, who is seated beside her in class. He has a menacing face, but in reality, he is a kind boy with an imagination that can run wild at times.
Aharen-san wa Hakarenai follows the peculiar pair as their odd friendship starts to blossom when Raidou picks up Aharen's eraser for her. She misinterprets his gesture and now believes them to be best friends, showing how the simplest of things can prove to be the most complicated of challenges for them.

It is the year 2062, two decades after the failure of a massive workforce automation project. However, Artemis, the artificial intelligence at the core of that project, had decided to attack humanity, and the resulting war laid waste to Earth.
A lone girl, Empress, wakes up in an underground laboratory at a base. She is one of three surviving guardians of humanity. However, she has no memories of what came before. All she knows is what a colonel of the peace-building force tells her.

(Original post by Summary:)
For the agent known as "Twilight," no order is too tall if it is for the sake of peace. Operating as Westalis' master spy, Twilight works tirelessly to prevent extremists from sparking a war with neighboring country Ostania. For his latest mission, he must investigate Ostanian politician Donovan Desmond by infiltrating his son's school: the prestigious Eden Academy. Thus, the agent faces the most difficult task of his career: get married, have a child, and play family.
Twilight, or "Loid Forger," quickly adopts the unassuming orphan Anya to play the role of a six-year-old daughter and prospective Eden Academy student. For a wife, he comes across Yor Briar, an absent-minded office worker who needs a pretend partner of her own to impress her friends. However, Loid is not the only one with a hidden nature. Yor moonlights as the lethal assassin "Thorn Princess." For her, marrying Loid creates the perfect cover. Meanwhile, Anya is not the ordinary girl she appears to be; she is an esper, the product of secret experiments that allow her to read minds. Although she uncovers their true identities, Anya is thrilled that her new parents are cool secret agents! She would never tell them, of course. That would ruin the fun.
Under the guise of "The Forgers," the spy, the assassin, and the esper must act as a family while carrying out their own agendas. Although these liars and misfits are only playing parts, they soon find that family is about far more than blood relations.

Yuuichi Katagiri has battled financial hardships his whole life but has learned to stay content and positive thanks to his close circle of friends. To keep a promise he made to them, Yuuichi saves up enough money to join them on the school trip. But when the gathered money mysteriously goes missing, suspicion falls on two of Yuuichi's friends: Shiho Sawaragi and Makoto Shibe, who were in charge of collecting the payments. Although innocent, Shiho and Makoto take responsibility for the failure to protect the money when no one else comes forward.
A few days later, Yuuichi and his friends receive mysterious letters which trick each of them into meeting up. Upon arrival, they are ambushed and knocked unconscious. They wake up in a mysterious room in the presence of "Manabu-kun," a character from a controversial children's show that stopped airing due to its malicious content. He informs the group that one of them indirectly gathered them together in order to settle a large debt. They are to play a "friendship game": a series of games that will test the strength of their bond and trust in each other. As the group's faith wavers due to the growing number of secrets and betrayals, Yuuichi must figure out who of his "friends" he can actually trust and ultimately discover the identity of the traitor.

You can remember another anime about golf? that is the first time I heard of! Could it be that Birdie Wing: Golf Girls' Story is also a romance anime about the main characters introduced in the trailer?

Dan Doh!! is the only other full TV anime about golf since 2000, but I haven't watched it yet; there were a couple of others in the 1980s (Pro Golfer Saru & Ashita Tenki ni Nare!), but they've not been translated into English as far as I know. And more recently, there was the 14 minute long Sorairo Utility!
I don't know about any romance subplots in Birdie Wing; it's not got that genre tag on any of the websites I've used to get this info, but that might just mean it's not the main focus. Only time will tell!

Definitely watching: Rikei ga Koi ni Ochita no de Shoumei shitemita. Heart, Spy x Family, Kawaii dake ja Nai Shikimori-san, Kaguya-sama, Aharen-san wa Hakarenai.
Still got Komi-san season 1 on my list to watch, so I'll probably end up binging that and catching up on season 2 at some point.

IT BEGINS! While none of the anime in my want to watch list are due to start this weekend, a handful of others are already airing - time to give some of those 'maybe' series a chance to win me over~
Estab-Life: Great Escape
![Image]()
In a dystopian future, people are forced to live within the boundaries of the 'Clusters' where they are born, spending their life in one job. These Clusters are administered by AI, which have zero tolerance for anyone trying to leave. And yet, there are those who are so unsatisfied with their lives that they are willing to risk them trying to escape - that's where our main characters come in! Equa, Ferres and Martese are ordinary school girls (well, the latter is a demi-human slime, but that's ordinary here), who together with beastman Ulla and tiny robot Alga work as 'Extractors', helping their clients flee to other Clusters in hopes that the grass is greener on the other side.
Let's get the obvious out of the way - this is full 3D animation, lots of people hate it, I actually find it quite charming. Polygon Pictures is one of the better 3D studios by far, which helps given how action-packed this first episode was! Cast was fun; can't say anything about the plot or setting grabbed me immediately, but a few episodes of world building could change that.

The trailer for this looked so fun, I had to check why I skipped S1 back in Summer 2019. My reason: “no trailer for this one yet, which makes it hard for me to get excited about it”.

A magical school headmaster named Albus, you say? Still, at least that's only the starting point, sounds like the series itself is more of a journey / adventure, which appeals to me more.

See, there are just so many people being isekai'd that this world had to set up a pest control service! I'd watch it, but it itself is isekai.

Japanese Airdate: Apr 9, 2022
Director: Furuhashi Kazuhiro (Shoukoku no Altair, Dororo (2019))
Add another comedy series to my lineup – I've been getting the manga recommended to me for a while, and having now watched the anime trailer, it does look fantastic.

Genre: Mystery, Supernatural
Animation Studio: OLM
Japanese Airdate: Apr 15, 2022
Director: Watanabe Ayumu (Uchuu Kyoudai, Koi wa Ameagari no You ni)
This isn't comedy, or sport, or isekai, or music – I think it makes my list by default, just for variety's sake! I do like a good dark mystery though, especially if there may be time travel elements involved.

Genre: Action, Fantasy
Animation Studio: Kinema Citrus, DR Movie
Japanese Airdate: Apr 6, 2022
Director: Jinbou Masato (Chaos;Child, Isekai Shokudou)
The #1 most anticipated anime of Spring 2022, according to AniChart. I didn't watch S1, because it's isekai.

Genre: Comedy, Slice of Life
Animation Studio: NAZ
Japanese Airdate: Mar 28, 2022
Director: Tatamitani Tetsuya (Africa no Salaryman (2019))
Nice to see this get a new adaptation, 10 years on from the short, Flash anime it got last time. Seems its' getting the more standard 'all eps in one day' Netflix treatment, so not one I'll be following weekly.

Genre: Action, Sci-fi
Animation Studio: Bandai Namco Pictures
Japanese Airdate: Apr 8, 2022
Director: Kase Mitsuko (Crystal Blaze, Ristorante Paradiso)
Speaking of decades, here's a sequel I wasn't expecting! I think this is also hitting Netflix all in one day, but April 8th is early enough in the season that I can still CHOOSE to watch an ep a week alongside everything else.

Genre: Game, Psychological
Animation Studio: Okuruto Noboru
Japanese Airdate: Apr 6, 2022
Director: Ogura Hirofumi (Kuroshitsuji II, Warau Salesman New)
Survival games usually involve large groups, and/or characters who've never met previously; the focus on a small group of friends in this one has me intrigued!

Genre: Action, Sci-Fi
Animation Studio: Production I.G, Sola Digital Arts
Japanese Airdate: Apr 14, 2022
Director: Aramaki Shinji (Appleseed Alpha, Blade Runner: Black Lotus) & Kamiyama Kenji (Seirei no Moribito, Higashi no Eden)
I didn't realize there was a S1! Though I've only recently started keeping track of Netflix originals and their weird release patterns. Definitely some of the best 3D animation this season.

Genre: Action, Fantasy
Animation Studio: EMT Squared
Japanese Airdate: Apr 5, 2022
Director: Ishii Hisashi (Ame-iro Cocoa in Hawaii, Ame-iro Cocoa Series: Ame-con!!)
Again, I'm put off by the over-powered protagonist, but not being isekai certainly works in its favour.

Genre: Action, Game
Animation Studio: Bridge
Japanese Airdate: Apr 3, 2022
Director: Kondou Nobuhiro (Nobunagun, Seisen Cerberus: Ryuukoku no Fatalite)
And lastly... not my card game, but good to see the franchise is still leading to new anime series! Maybe I'll get that MTG Netflix series someday...

Genre: Sports
Animation Studio: Nippon Animation, OLM
Japanese Airdate: Apr 2, 2022
Director: Takeuchi Hiroshi (Blade & Soul, Zunda Horizon)
Possibly the best looking of the high school sports anime this season (so far at least), though the trailer was much shorter than the others.
Genre: Music, Slice of life
Animation Studio: Sunrise
Japanese Airdate: Apr 2, 2022
Director: Kawamura Tomoyuki (Kamigami no Asobi, Mitsuboshi Colors)
Another sequel that isn't really an option for me, at least if I want to know who these characters are and what's going on. Best to watch them in order.
Genre: Comedy, Slice of Life
Animation Studio: J.C.Staff
Japanese Airdate: Apr 8, 2022
Director: Sakurai Hiroaki (Kaichou wa Maid-sama!, Nekogami Yaoyorozu)
The trailer for this looked so fun, I had to check why I skipped S1 back in Summer 2019. My reason: “no trailer for this one yet, which makes it hard for me to get excited about it”.
Genre: Drama, Suspense
Animation Studio: Shaft
Japanese Airdate: Apr 3, 2022
Director: Miyamoto Yukihiro (Mahou Sensei Negima! Shiroki Tsubasa Ala Alba, Magical Suite Prism Nana)
I did watch Magia Record S1, but I wasn't madly into it, and skipped S2 due to more interesting shows airing in the same season.
Genre: Action, Fantasy
Animation Studio: Tezuka Productions
Japanese Airdate: Apr 8, 2022
Director: Kuwabara Satoshi (Go-Toubun no Hanayome, Adachi to Shimamura)
A magical school headmaster named Albus, you say? Still, at least that's only the starting point, sounds like the series itself is more of a journey / adventure, which appeals to me more.
Genre: Adventure, Comedy
Animation Studio: Ajia-Do, Bandai Namco Pictures
Japanese Airdate: Apr 6, 2022
Director:
Aimed at a younger audience than any of the other anime covered so far; I've not watched Kaiketsu Zorori, but it always looks fun.
Genre: Fantasy, Romance
Animation Studio: ENGI
Japanese Airdate: Apr 3, 2022
Director: Fukumoto Shin`ichi & Miura Kazuya (Hataage! Kemonomichi, Uzaki-chan wa Asobitai!)
Premise sounded like a carbon copy of Hamefura; wasn't expecting the mechs and magical grenades in the trailer! Still reincarnation isekai though, so I'm not keen.
Genre: Comedy, Drama
Animation Studio: P.A. Works
Japanese Airdate: Apr 5, 2022
Director: Honma Shuu
If I do end up watching a music management anime this season, it has to be this one. Unusual to see P.A. Works produce something that isn't their own original story!
Genre: Comedy, Romance
Animation Studio: Zero-G
Japanese Airdate: Apr 2, 2022
Director: Kitahata Tooru (Koi to Senkyo to Chocolate, Hinako Note)
S1 made my list back when I was watching 16 anime per season, but now that I've cut down my viewing, I think this is one rom-com sequel too many for me.
Genre: Comedy, Fantasy
Animation Studio: Doga Kobo
Japanese Airdate: Apr 6, 2022
Director: Koshida Tomoaki (Sewayaki Kitsune no Senko-san, Ikebukuro West Gate Park)
This might have appealed more if I hadn't already watched Dragon, Ie wo Kau only a year ago. Still, maybe different customers with different needs might be enough variation to make it work.
Genre: Comedy, Supernatural
Animation Studio: Project No.9
Japanese Airdate: Apr 7, 2022
Director: Nanbara Kyuu
Think this one is a no; these character designs are too sweet for me, they will rot my teeth. Too much comedy this season!
Genre: Fantasy, Game
Animation Studio: Zexcs
Japanese Airdate: Apr 2, 2022
Director: Kawaguchi Keiichirou (Hayate no Gotoku!, Island)
I mean, surely that's better than having rivals who barely own any cards? Depends on how high stakes these games are, I guess. Not a direct sequel to the earlier Shadowverse anime, but I'm not that interested.
Genre: Action, Fantasy
Animation Studio: SILVER LINK., Blade
Japanese Airdate: Apr 6, 2022
Director: Minato Mirai (Masamune-kun no Revenge, Meikyuu Black Company)
It may not be isekai, but the whole 'reincarnated OP protagonist' thing still doesn't interest me. They all blur into one generic mass in my mind.
Genre: Action, Fantasy
Animation Studio: J.C.Staff

Just read the summary to Spy x Family. That is more exiting and funnier than I expected. Sounds like an anime I may please to add on my list.

It's definitely the series I'm most looking forward to, apart from the sequels to things I've watched before anyway.

Just see that even a badminton anime is on air soon. Is it just my perception or did the sport animes got popular in the last two years...

Over to HIDIVE, to find out if it's worth keeping my subscription going this season:
Shokei Shoujo no Virgin Road (The Executioner and Her Way of Life)
![Image]()
A fantasy world is being inundated with 'Lost Ones': people from our real world country of Japan, who are transported there against their wills, often by illegal magical summoning. A schoolboy named Mitsuki finds himself in this situation, but his new isekai life doesn't quite go according to plan; he has no currency, no known super powers, and he can't even make a quick profit through introducing new technology to their world - previous Lost Ones have already done all of that long ago. A priestess named Menou reaches out to him, but in reality her role is to exterminate dangerous Lost Ones... turns out she's our real protagonist, and already has her next target in sight: a schoolgirl named Akari.
I got oversaturated and bored with isekai years ago, yet this series is self-aware that it's one of many, and bakes that into its premise - I like what it's doing with the genre. The world and its class systems were interesting. Menou was a solid main character, though I found her aide Momo annoying. Also, apparently this is shoujo-ai, which I missed in my pre-season synopsis! Not bad, but I think this season has better to come.

Yeah, there's definitely more of them, and covering a wider range of sports than just the popular baseball and football! I thought it was promotion for the Tokyo Olympics, since even things like beach volleyball (Harukana Receive) and sport climbing (Iwakakeru!) got anime series in recent years, but it looks like it's continuing even after the Olympics ended.
