2020: My Third Quarter in Anime
The animation industry in Japan did seem to be rallying three months ago. Series that had come to a sudden halt just a few episodes in or been postponed altogether three months before that were starting up again. However, I have to admit to worrying about “wishful thinking” leading to everything grinding to a halt again and turning straight back to titles where I knew every bit of content was ready to hand. Never that plugged into “weekly reactions,” this was endurable, and there were things I was looking forward to.
( Starting off theatrically: Promare and Sound Euphonium A Brand New Day )
( A third return: Gundam X )
( A new block: BNA )
( Wrapping up and returning: Attack No. 1 and A Certain Scientific Railgun T )
( Blast from the past: City Hunter )
( Another new block: Japan Sinks 2020 )
( Old and almost new: Astroganger and Sakura Quest )
( Head for the hills: Heidi, Girl of the Alps )
( Three more movies: Ride Your Wave, Gulliver’s Space Travels, and Spirited Away )
( Wrapping up: Lost Song and a recreated first show )
