The flowers are blooming, the weather’s getting warm and the squirrels are out of hibernation, so you know what that means: Spring anime season is here.
Though there are many upcoming shows, three stood out above the rest in a poll of the Terrapin Anime Society.
Digimon Adventure Tri
For the 15th anniversary of Digimon, Toei announced the release of a special season. Continuing where the second season of Digimon Adventure left off, the show is going to feature older versions of the original characters fans love. Fans had to work hard for this reveal, clicking virtual Digimon eggs on the website. After months of clicking, character designs were slowly shown over time, hyping up fans of all ages.
Many people stopped watching Digimon once the original third season came around, introducing new characters and a completely new style. Since then, every season of Digimon featured a new cast, rather than recycling the characters. With this “growing up” of old favorites, people are more excited than ever.
Fate/Stay Night Unlimited Blade Works Season 2
The second season of Fate/Stay Night Unlimited Blade Works will continue on the route that goes by the same name. Fate/Stay Night is based off of a visual novel, so the different seasons follow different routes, or paths, that players can take in the game. This season will conclude the Holy Grail War. The special people selected to try to obtain the Holy Grail are given fighters who will serve under them. The chosen people must kill off the others, and the last person standing is given the Holy Grail, which grants them a wish. Many fans are looking forward to seeing who wins.
This arc has also been animated by a different company — Ufotable, who does the Fate/Zero series, (but not Fate/Stay.)
Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Comedy wa Machigatteiru. Zoku
Another season of the original Yahari, the story still follows the protagonist, Hachiman Hikigaya, an antisocial outcast experiencing high school. Of course, the main girl is the school beauty, Yukino Yukinoshita, who is also a social outcast. Hachiman has a way of speaking bluntly and saying exactly what he’s thinking. The two outcast students, plus another classmate, form the School Service Club against their wills and end up helping students deal with being teenagers.
The second season picks up after the school festival, and just when the School Service Club thinks they can relax and return to their lives, they realize that the students still need help.
