I guess Jujutsu Kaisen especially for Gojo's younger days. I have mixed feelings about Mushoku Tensei considering I am afraid of the tone they will give certain controversial themes that will happen. I mean, the anime did justice to Rudeus' meeting with his father but the maid and "treasure" seem to forever be trapped in comedy about the MC's perverted nature.
Other series are Bungo Stray Dogs but just by watching the trailer I notice the show's tendency to avoid killing anybody despite being a seinen while they keep exploiting the formula of Atsushi and Akutagawa for any boss in the season (Dead Apple included). There is Kenshin too which attracts me due to the different art director and the handling of Kenshin's acrobatics. Then again, the anime adaptation of Blade of the Immortal left me concerned about the animation due to Liden using only frames in some early fights. The one I hope ends well done too is Nier Automata especially because of how amazing was the last route from the game and how the team behind 86 is working on it |

JJK 0 was a short series written before JJK and that was later re-worked into being an actual prequel to JJK, while the arc that will be adapted now is what immediately happens after the event of S1. It's not just repeating the same thing. |

That's actually just a consequence of how the original series was published and how they ended up adapting it. JJK0 was originally its own limited series called "Tokyo Metropolitan Curse Technical School", which was published in 4 chapters back in 2017. When the series was turned into a full serialization, the author decided to revamp things by bringing in Yuji and the Sukuna plot, as sort of a soft reboot. It was only later that the mini-series was retitled to "Jujutsu Kaisen 0" to more directly connect it to the rest of the series.Obviously the anime couldn't start with 3-4 episodes of Yuta's story and then suddenly shift to Yuji, so they adapted it as a film, since there's stuff in that story that becomes pertinent later on. Meanwhile the flashback arc just kinda ended up as the opening part of this new season since the first season stopped right before it. |

I'll watch the MyGO anime because it's Bang Dream (even though generally with that franchise, the game does a better job of telling stories than the anime), but beyond that, there is NOTHING from this summer season that seems to appeal to my personal tastes. Mostly, these next few months, I'll probably just be catching up on shows I missed from this spring season, or maybe rewatching some old favorites.

The next arc just happens to be a past arc; it's not very long and isn't going to be most of S2(we're also getting the longest arc of the series, or at least part of it). The trailer and advertising is obviously going to showcase what's coming first. Saying they've run out of ideas based on only a trailer or without reading the manga is silly. |

The manga's a bit episodic (not sure about the source novels), but the sheer amount of crazy keeps it feeling interesting, especially if you like literary/historical mashups a la League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. (And it builds from the earliest plot points, so it gets progressively more bizarre, or at least the manga does.) |

Most anticipated - Mushoku Tensei Season 2 (been reading the manga and looking forward to the school arc)
Runner-up - Level 1 Demon Lord and One Room Hero (one crazy brass manga, should be fun) |

Among sequels, Mushoku Tensei 2 is easily my most-anticipated, especially if its production values hold up to what we saw in the first series. More TONIKAWA is also welcome (even if it's only 4 episodes!). Will watch the returns of Bleach (even though it's no longer a high-priority view) and The Devil is a Part-Timer! (curious to see what novels it actually adapts) as well.
Among new series, I am also intrigued by Undead Murder Farce, but am probably most looking forward to Reborn as a Vending Machine, I Wander the Dungeon, which I think could surprise some people. Saint Cecelia and Pastor Lawrence also sounds like it could have potential as more low-key tale. I expect a few others to catch my interest during their debuts as well. |

Other than continuing series and returning series, the only series I'm planning to watch (and not just considering) are Ryza (though I may stop that since I still need to finish the game), Am I Actually the Strongest and My Unique Skill as I've enjoyed the manga for both of those. Vending Machine is also on the list since it just seems so odd lol
Continuing series: Eden's Zero Blue Orchestra Sacrificial Princess Nier Misfit Demon King Returning Series: Mushuku Tensei Masamune (though I want to re-watch the first season first since it's been so long and there were some OVAs that might also be required) JJK Bleach Duke of Death Devil is Part Timer Phew, with all that not sure I'll be able to fit anything else (or even keep up with all that really), but regardless, this looks to be another packed season (already added a few to "considering" from this article). Bring on the previews!
Lol, I wasn't thinking of Metalocalypse (though I am now...), but I definitely missread that the same way at least once. |

My most anticipated is easily Mushoku Tensei season 2 because the first season is fantastic.
The second cour of Spy Classroom is my runner up because I still believe it could be a good show. In terms of new IP's The Most Heretical Last Boss Queen and Undead Girl Murder Farce intrigue me the most. |

Just wanted to say that I find the lack of anticipation for Mushoku Tensei S2 among the ANN staff curious and not surprised at the number of commentators here which are anticipating as I am. While I understand people being interested in (anticipating) new shows more than "old" ones, I always temper expectations because of the number of shows that came from good material that do not adapt well. Mushoku Tensei is to me a "known good" show so there is no reason not to anticipate it.
On the same note, Sugar Apple Fairy Tale S2 is "known good" and I am really anticipating it because of the ending Ms. Silverman mentioned. Can't wait for both these... |
