2020 Anime Impressions so far...

Hi everyone. 2020 has been a strange year so far. It's October now. Hope everyone is doing okay during these difficult times. Please stay safe. It'll take time for things to get better but we'll be ok.

Let's talk anime. This year felt like it's the year of sequels. Many anime got pushed back. Some shows delayed their productions. However, there were some new anime that I thought were really good too. 
 
For sequels:

Boku no Hero Academia had a great season 4 run. 

Haikyuu! season 4 part 1 came back with a bang. Part 2 just started in fall so I'm hoping it'll be good too.

Re:Zero season 2 made a great return in the summer. The 13 episodes was very emotional and I can never tell if things will turn out ok for Subaru or not. I empathized with him. 

Fire Force season 2 came back and is still ongoing. The animation in this show is great. More story and world building is happening. The action scenes are very nice.

Golden Kamuy returned a few weeks ago so I'm hoping to watch that soon. 

Webtoon turned anime: 

Webtoons series from Korea are turning into anime. Crunchyroll picked up quite a few popular webtoons and are turning them into anime with the help of many animation studios.

Tower of God premiered in spring and it was pretty fun. The animation was ok but the story and the characters were quite entertaining. I have to go read the webtoon to see what happen next. 

God of High School came out in the summer and was produced by MAPPA studio. The animation and fight scenes were really impressive. The story was fun too. I'm always down for watching fighting tournament related anime. I'll also have to go read the webtoon to see what happen next. 

Noblesse just came out a few weeks ago this fall. It's interesting so far. The animation is ok. I'm hoping for more actions in the next few episodes. 

New series: 

Id: Invaded was a good murder mystery sci-fi show. It's a good psychological thriller also. I enjoyed seeing what's inside the mind of different characters. 

Dorohedoro was a manga turned anime. It's season 1 was strange but really interesting. I'm hoping to see what happen next.

I just finish watching Deca-Dence and thought it was really well done. I like the world and the characters and their relationship. It seem like something that's been done before but with a twist.


I've only started a watching a few new shows for Fall 2020 anime so I can't say much about a lot of these shows. I'll try to talk about some of my favorite fall show when I wrap up at the end of the year.

That's it for now. Hope everyone have a great day. Till next time.
