As we prepare to say goodbye to the month of June and welcome July, anime fans also feel the beginning of a new season. After how strange the Japanese spring ended up being in terms of anime offerings, a perhaps even stranger season is coming.
Some of the most popular series of recent years return with new seasons, while there are totally original proposals that at times sound as interesting as they are crazy. That is why on this occasion we decided to highlight some of the great premieres that await us in this new Japanese summer season.
There is no doubt that the world of influencers and YouTube are a great inspiration in the modern entertainment industry. Perhaps that is why, inevitably, there are more and more anime that revolve around this new medium. That is the case of Mayonaka Punchan original proposal from the studio PA Works focused on a young woman who is fired from a group of Youtubers and plans her return with a new group.
Perhaps the most interesting thing about the proposal, however, are the creatives behind this project. Mayonaka Punch will reunite the main staff of Ya Boy Kongming!one of the most popular anime of 2022. In addition, the team will add to Ryota Arimaanimation director of The Quintessential Quintuplets. With this cast of creatives, it’s at the very least an anime worth paying attention to.
Few things are more rewarding than speaking several languages, but inevitably when we deal with people from other countries we are going to run into the language barrier at some point. It is then when those situations arise in which one can say something in a language that the other cannot understand, and some works such as Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian They intend to exploit that for comedy and romance.
Doga Kobo This adaptation of the light novel by sunsunsun, which was originally going to premiere in April but was delayed until this next season. One of the most curious facts has to do with the protagonist and the actress who will voice her. The plot requires Alya to speak in Russian to create those situations in which others do not understand what she is saying, and the chosen actress, Sumire Uesakais not only one of the most well-known talents in the industry, but she is also known for speaking Russian.
Last year was full of interesting proposals, but there was one that undoubtedly dominated all conversations since its premiere in April: Oshi no Ko. This story that offers a look at the world of entertainment without the rosy filter that usually bathes this type of narrative returns now for a second season that, without a doubt, is the most anticipated of the entire year.
One more time, Doga Kobo will be in charge of this work, with a new arc that will bring back all the main characters from the first season. Meanwhile, the work will also receive adaptations to the live-action world with both a film and a series, the latter even premiering worldwide later this year in Prime Video.
If we talk about strange proposals, it is impossible to ignore what is perhaps the craziest anime of this year, at least in regards to its premise. DC Comics gets fully into the world of anime with Suicide Squad ISEKAIa story that, as its name indicates, mixes the team of villains Suicide Squad with the concept of isekai.
For those who do not know the definition of this term, the isekai It is a genre in which the characters are transported to another world. In this case, joker and his companions are sent to a world where orcs and dragons populate the lands. The anime will be directed by Eri Osadawho was in charge of some episodes of Jujutsu Kaisenand will be produced in Wit Studio with scripts Tappei Nagatsukiwriter of Re:Zero – Starting Life in Another World.
Last year, fans of Yoko Taro We had some intense back and forth with the anime adaptation of NieR:Automata. Due to production issues, the anime had several delays, to the point that halfway through the year we didn’t even know if it would ever return. Finally, in July all the remaining chapters were released and there we realized something that we didn’t know at first: this anime was not going to have just one season.
Now, NieR:Automata Ver 1.1a returns for its second season this July, and anticipation inevitably comes with worry. The first season had a not-so-pleasant start, but then we could see that the anime was looking to do some things slightly different. This second season, in theory, should cover until the end of the game, which is a difficult task considering how special the work of Yoko Taro. NieR:Automata Ver 1.1a It has every chance of ending in a big way or being a failure, with no intermediate point, and that is perhaps the most beautiful thing about this anime.
