Sorry, this is coming out a day late, I was feeling a bit distracted and not really in a mood to write. Some painful memories recently got stirred up again and it put me in a really weird place, but now I am ok again. Anyway, on to this week’s news
New Anime
A list of new anime announcements:
Golden Kamuy Season 2 Will Air in the Fall
It has now been officially announced that the popular manga turned spring 2018 anime adaptation will now be receiving another season. The show will reportedly be airing in the fall season of this year, and will have all of the staff return to work on the show, as well as again being animated by Studio Geno.
Golden Kamuy centers around Sugimoto, a Russo-Japanese war veteran who, after finding out his friends wife will soon go blind, heads out on a mission to find a hidden treasure that will help him get her the medicine he needs. Along the way, he meets up with various dangerous individuals who also happen to be looking for the treasure.
Kadokawa Releases Trailer for Overlord Season 3
On top of a few promotional images, Kadokawa has now also officially released a trailer for the widely popular Overlord series.
The trailer highlights some of the upcoming plot points of the new season, as well as displaying some of the grittiness the show is well known for. The show’s third season will be produced by Madhouse, and Satoshi Hino will be returning to voice the show’s main character.
Overlord takes place in the world of an MMORPG that is set to shut down. After a player refuses to log out of the game, he finds that many of the world’s NPCs take on personalities of their own.
Konosuba to Receive Full-Length Film
Fans of the instant hit parody series Konosuba will be pleased to find out that the series will be receiving a full-length feature film sometime in the future. Many details about the show’s production are not yet known as of the writing of this piece, but it has been confirmed that the show will have a shift in studios, as J.C. Staff will be taking over for Studio Deen.
Konosuba’s story follows Kazuma, a NEET who, after dying from shock, is given a chance to be reborn by the goddess Aqua, who he requests comes with him as he starts his new life in another world.
Hiro Mashima Reveals New Fairytail Spinoff Manga
After a slew of announcements from Mangaka Hiro Mashima earlier this year about future projects, including one about his newest Manga Eden’s Zero, Mashima has now revealed one of the destinies of his hit series Fairytail. Mashima announced this week the name of one of the new fairytail spinoff’s that he has planned for the future, that being Fairytail Hero City. Details about the specific story have yet to be released, but reportedly, the manga will be out sometime this fall.

Animated Observations 
Well, as someone that keeps apologizing himself, I guess it’s weird saying to someone else that an apology isn’t necessary. But…still going to do it anyway: No need to apologise at all. I’m sorry to hear that you had a bit of a rough time (old memories can at time do seriously annoying) but I’m glad that you are doing a bit better now.
Is it me, or is that new Overlord trailer looking seriously wicked? Great post as always. Have a great weekend! 😀

Thanks Raistlin, it’s more like an apology to myself at this point. I know I can be writing good stuff, but stuff gets in the way.

Well….you definitely can be sure of that: You already write good stuff. Never doubt that for a single second! 😀

Two thoughts on Konosuba
1) I guess I’m happy to just get something, but I’d rather have a 3rd season than just a movie.
2) I don’t dislike J.C. Staff, but I thought Studio Deen had a good thing going. From what I’ve seen, though, it appears that at least some of the key crew members from the earlier seasons like director and writer will return regardless of the banner studio.

I actually agree with both of these thoughts.
