My Picks for Winter 2019 Anime (V2)

Off Topic: I don't know who has been moderating this section, but I'm disappointed.

The first post was glitched. Is there something wrong with posting more than 1 youtube video in a single thread? My god. Whatever, I'm fucking posting this after wasting 20 minutes doing this shit.

As the past leader of Anime. Here are my Picks for Winter 2019's selection of Anime.

Dororo

One day, a man entered a temple that housed forty-eight statues possessed by demons and made a deal: in exchange for ultimate power, they could each take a piece of his soon-to-be born son. Soon after the child came into the world and the demons held up their end of the bargain; the man then left the crippled child in the river to die. Found by a kind doctor, the boy grew older with the help of prosthetic limbs and enhanced senses, but soon demons began to follow him, and the boy - who his new father named Hyakkimaru - left to find a way to complete himself. He searches for the forty-eight demons; each one he vanquishes returns a piece of his body. Alongside the child thief Dororo, Hyakkimaru travels from place to place, hoping to one day become whole.

Reminding me a bit of Ninja Scroll, this one seems interesting. I don't see it going more than 12 episodes, however if it's anything like Katanagatari... one season should be sufficient. I don't know much more than what you're about to watch. But I have high hopes for this one. If it's anything the director behind Rurouni Kenshi and Hunter x Hunter will be taking charge of this baby.

Mob Psycho 100 2nd Season

Kageyama Shigeo, a.k.a. "Mob," is a boy who has trouble expressing himself, but who happens to be a powerful esper. Mob is determined to live a normal life and keeps his ESP suppressed, but when his emotions surge to a level of 100%, something terrible happens to him!

For those who have not seen Mob Psycho before, or have not read the manga. The guys behind One Punch Man created this masterpiece. This is One's golden child, compared to OP Man. The author highly favors Mob. The director behind Mob Psycho 100 also directed Death Parade if that was something you fancied. If it's anything like the manga I highly recommend you check this one out.

The Promised Neverland

Emma, Norman, Ray, and many other "siblings" live at an isolated orphanage cut off from the outside world. They live a charmed life surrounded by friends and watched over by Mama, their caretaker, until they leave the house for a foster family by the age of twelve. The only rule is that they must never venture outside of the gate that isolates them from the rest of society, for dangers await. But one day, the children learn the true horror of what's in store for their short lives...

From the director behind Elfen Lied, you can already tell this one is gonna be grizzly. I'm gonna assume there's gonna be some major plot twists here. The whole orphanage thing reminds me of Made in Abyss... I doubt it's going to have the same sort of fantasy. However, I can almost be sure there's gonna be some psychological shit here. Definitely pumped up for this one.

Kengan Ashura

Since the Edo periods of Japan, gladiator arenas exist in certain areas. In these arenas, wealthy business owners and merchants hire gladiators to fight in unarmed combat where winner takes all. Tokita Ouma, nicknamed "Ashura", joins these arenas and devastates his opponents. His spectacular ability to crush his enemies catches the attention of the big business owners.

This one seems interesting. Reminds me a bit of Baki, with the overpowered fighters and such. The only thing bugging me is I'm sort of expecting Berserk (2016-2017) CG. Which was awful. Fingers crossed they make some improvements upon that. But as a fan of Anime such as Hajime no Ippo, Shijou Saikyou no Deshi Kenichi, and Fist of the North Star. I'll watch it in high hopes it's actually amazing.
