After several months of bland and tedious animation screens, recently, we have finally ushered in a large number of high-quality new fans, including the latest third season of the super popular work "Miss Hui Ye Wants Me to Confess", the "Spy Family" from the Hegemony Society' expectations, and a series of sports fans and love fans with different styles... In addition, the theatrical version of "Kit Kat Taxi In The Woods" has been released in Japan on April 1, and at the end of the month, there is a two-dimensional national team-level original animation movie about to be launched on Netflix, which can be described as a continuous surprise.

In addition, in addition to Takuya Eguchi, Atsumi Sasuke Sasuke, and Saori Hayami forming a reliable voice actor lineup of "a family of three", this work is also bloody in music, inviting One of Japan's hottest bands, Official Tsutomu Dism, and one of the hottest SOLO male singers, Hoshino Gen (of course, he is more familiar to netizens as the husband of Yui Niigaki) to contribute... It's really hard not to think about hegemony!
《ONIPAN!》
Synopsis: A lightly narrated story of the little devils "love, friendship, and fat times!" "The everyday cuteness of the work.
POSTER OF ONIPAN!
Highlights: In addition to Spy Over, WIT STUDIO also launched an original animation this season. "ONIPAN!" belongs to the Moe line that the Hegemonic Society has never tried, and Masahiko Ota, who was in charge of "Dry Things Sister Little Buried", is invited to serve as a supervisor. Judging from the pilot PV, the characters are cute and pleasing, and the painting is smooth, and I believe that this time I can also hold the sign of the boutique.
"Miss Night Wants Me to Confess - Ultra Romantic-"
Synopsis: Vice President Shinomiya Huiye and student president Bai Yin Miyuki are deeply involved in the hilarious daily life of the love mind battle of "how to make each other confess".
Poster of "Miss Brilliant Night Wants Me to Confess - Ultra Romantic-"
Highlights: The highly anticipated third season of the anime, not surprisingly, will enter the climax of the whole series, and it is also the most exciting "Bongshin Festival" in the original manga. In addition to the storyline of the male and female protagonists, this season will also add the emotional line on the stone.
Tiger & BUNNY season two
Synopsis: As heroes from all over the world join the battle, the heroic duo wild Tiger and Barnaby lead the efforts to maintain peace and seek support. However, superheroes everywhere have emerged, will these two old predecessors be eliminated by the market?
Poster for the second season of TIGER & BUNNY
Highlights: It's a "Lifetime" series. TIGER & BUNNY is an original anime released by Sunrise in 2011, and the story has attracted many female audiences, and two theatrical versions have been released in 2012 and 2014. In the years of silence, some viewers often mentioned this old fan whose painting style is very American and the story is very kingly, commenting that it is "very happy and enjoyable". This time to open a sequel, the plot will take over the second theatrical version, and exclusively broadcast by Netflix, I don't know what new atmosphere will be?
"The Inaccurate Apollian Classmate"
Synopsis: Apollian Lingna is a petite, quiet girl who is a little less adept at grasping the distance between her and others. This makes the classroom students sitting in the next seat always feel a sense of distance. One day, the classmates picked up the eraser that Apollian had dropped on the ground, and the distance between the two began to approach rapidly.
Poster of "The Inaccurate Apollian Classmate"
Highlights: If you like "Takagi Classmate who is good at teasing", "Furumi Classmate has communication barriers", "Nagasaki Classmate Don't Bully Me", then don't miss this "Apollian Classmate who can't be accurate" that also takes the nonsensical light comedy route. Be careful not to twist around on the bed when watching, and don't make strange noises!
"Dancing"
Synopsis: Junpei Murao is a sophomore who was attracted to the charm of ballet when he was young, but the death of his father made him determined to "become a man" and gave up studying ballet. But one day, the beautiful female transfer student appeared for five generations, and she found that Runping loved ballet and invited him to learn to dance. As a result, Runping and Du's hair small, Mori Liuying, officially embarked on the road to becoming a ballet dancer.
Poster of "Dancing Non-Stop"
Highlights: To be honest, seeing the title and poster, I thought that the "Dancing Youth" that entered the pit in 2017 finally launched the second season. In fact, the only connection between the two is that they tell the same bloody story of the dancers.
Mentioning the "Drowning Knife" starring Shoko Sugata and Komatsu Kana, even if you have not seen the film, everyone may have brushed a lot of stills with a face when the two announced their marriage. Dance Dance Danseur, another manga by George Asakura, is based on Dance Dance Danseur, the original author of "Drowning Knife", and this is the first time her work has been animated, produced by MAPPA, a well-known animation company that produced the final season of Attack on Titan. Nao Homano from the NBA Ballet of Japan will also be the choreographer of the game, and the dancers from the Tokyo Ballet will perform the roles in the play, further enhancing the professionalism and expectations of "Dance More".
Insect Paradise
Synopsis: Insect-themed children's science animation.
Poster of Insect Paradise
Highlights: Adapted from a picture book by Teruyuki Kagawa and illustrated by Thomas Roman, the original work was selected as a recommended reading for the "United Nations 10 Years of Biodiversity Japan Committee", and the animated version was narrated by well-known voice actor Takahiro Sakurai. I didn't expect that "Owada Standing" was so versatile, and there was a childlike heart of "promoting insects and environmental protection thinking" under the appearance of Xiu Tease.
"The Marriage Contract of the Cuckoo"
Synopsis: Due to the wrong baby, the male high school student Ebino kai who attended a famous private school and the hotel president Senkin Amano Eirika were engaged by their parents, but Kai had a crush on Yai Setkawa, and Kai's sister also had a different mood for him, and a four-corner love comedy began.
Poster of "The Marriage Contract of the Cuckoo"
Highlights: At first glance at the plot of "The Marriage Contract of the Cuckoo", I thought it was adapted from the Jinjiang network text, and the labels said "yin and yang error", "happy enemy", "rich family" and "love". This work is adapted from the manga of the same name by manga artist Miki Yoshikawa, and the same remake of her works "Bad Boy and Glasses Sister" and "Yamada Jun and the 7 Witches" have good reviews, and "The Marriage Contract of the Cuckoo" also continues her usual high-energy and hilarious style.
"Love after the conquest of the world"
Synopsis: Aikawa, the captain of the hero team "Geralt 5" who aims at world peace, and the captain of the combatant "Death Princess" who is trying to conquer the world, the secret association "Gegeche", is in fact secretly communicating. Once discovered, the forbidden romantic comedy of the game ends begins.
Poster for "Love After the Conquest of the World"
Highlights: The "dog food" in this season's new fan. This game is based on "Super Sentai", which is called the most popular special show in Japan along with the "Ultraman" series and the "Kamen Rider" series, and the settings from the character name to the "Queen Daughter" and "Warrior" are extremely middle two. The protagonist is an opponent on the surface, but secretly a couple, and while fighting with blood, they must also hide their romantic relationship, which has become the biggest attraction of the animation.
Friends Game
Synopsis: "Friend Game" is an activity held in a mysterious space, composed of players (debtors), operators (organizers), and audiences (funders), to get rewards and reduce debt by completing the game. Its essence is a cruel psychological warfare that measures money and friendship. Five well-connected high school students are forced into a desperate situation by being forced to participate in the "Friends Game" in order to pay off their debts...
Friends Game poster
Highlights: "Friends Game" is adapted from the comic of the same name, which has previously been remade as a live-action TV series and live-action movie, and when I saw the big-eyed puppeteer on the poster, the author's DNA moved. Realism, suspenseful reasoning, brain-burning, human struggle... Audiences who like "Squid Game" and "The Abyss of Wild Gambling" should be decisively in the pit. When chasing the drama, you may as well ask yourself, will you betray your friends in order to get 20 million?
"Party Wanderer Zhuge Kongming"
Synopsis: Zhuge Kongming, who died of illness in the Battle of Gojohara, was reborn as a young man in Shibuya, Tokyo, a modern Japan city where halloween parades are being held, and thus meets singer-songwriter Hideko Tsukimi. In order to help Hideko realize her dream, Kong Ming used his military prowess to become Hideko's military master.
Poster of "Party Wanderer Zhuge Kongming"
Highlights: I know that Neon Gold has always been very interested in the Three Kingdoms theme, but seeing this setting of "Kong Ming's Rebirth Does Not Help Ah Dou Fu Ai Dou", the author still can't help but shout outrageously. Although the brain hole is large, this work is still quite thoughtful in production, such as Yasuki Masoya, who served as a narrator, who also served as the narrator of the game "True Three Kingdoms Peerless" for a long time, Ryutaro Who voiced Kong Ming, and Sima Yi in "True Three Kingdoms Matchless", and the opening was the old Three Kingdoms feeling.
Since it is about the growth of singers, the anime also invited the well-known record label AVES to produce music, and the well-known singers of Niconico sang as the protagonists. In the first episode, the heroine has sung several interludes, from light rock style to lyrical songs, and it may be fun to chase as a musical fan.
The Way to Survive a Girl Who Executed Her
Synopsis: It tells the story of a "lost man" from another world of Japan, who has brought disasters that can destroy the world in the past, and must be secretly executed. The "executioner" メノウ, who made a living from execution, met the Japanese girl アカリ one day, but failed to execute him because of a special ability of アカリ. In search of a way to actually kill アカリ, the two embark on a journey together and gradually change the relationship between the two.
Poster of "The Way to Survive a Girl Who Executed"
Highlights: Adapted from the popular light novel, it is a winning work for the GA Bunko Awards for seven years, and it belongs to a relatively new and interesting set in the theme of other worlds. At first, I thought it would be the old routine of the male protagonist opening a harem in the other world, but I didn't expect that the first episode would quickly reverse the "male protagonist" and quickly go offline, unfolding the daily life of the double female protagonist sticker that everyone liked, as well as the rare hardcore battle in the lily fan, which just went online and caused heated discussions on the B station.
"The Thing That Fits Together"
Synopsis: Set in a Japanese confectionery shop in Kyoto, the story of a father-daughter bond connected by Japanese confectionery.
Poster of "The Thing Together"
Highlights: The combination of Uncle and Little Lori is reminiscent of "White Rabbit Candy", the original style is fresh and healing, suitable for relaxing and entertaining sketches.
"Green Reeds"
Synopsis: Aoi Rei is a junior high school student living in Ehime Prefecture. Although still relatively rough, Reed has a strong talent for football, but he has suffered a huge setback because of his self-contained personality. At this time, Tokyo's J League strong team "Tokyo City · Esperion's youth team coach Tatsuya Fukuda also appeared in front of Reeds. Fukuda saw that Reed had endless possibilities and invited him to participate in the selection of the team held in Tokyo.
Poster of "Green Reeds"
Highlights: The original manga has a high popularity among anime fans, and has been praised as "currently the most reflective of the current youth training ecology of Japanese football in the real world" and "the understanding of football techniques and tactics, surpassing all similar manga". Animation production company Production I.G is recognized as a "sports man", so the outside world's expectations for "Green Reeds" are the next "Strong Wind Blowing" and "Volleyball Boy"... Audiences who love football, don't miss this rare bengue football drama.
《LOVE ALL PLAY》
Synopsis: The protagonist Ryo Mizushima joined the badminton club after entering junior high school, although he did not have a decent instructor, he still improved to participate in county-level competitions with his innate physical strength. At this time, the famous badminton school Yokohama Minato High School, Eboihara, issued an invitation to Ryo. Surrounded by excellent instructors and teammates, Mizushima gradually accumulated experience and challenged to higher goals.
Poster for LOVE ALL PLAY
Highlights: "love all, play" is a badminton referee's phrase, meaning "the game starts, zero to zero". The production company of this game has produced "Kit Kat Taxi", and the CV lineup is luxurious (Natsuki Hanae, Ken Akira Ono, Hiroki Kaji...). ), music Lin Yushu, theme song Janis (Hey!) Say! JUMP), can be described as buff full. In various sports, badminton has not yet had a high-quality masterpiece, and "LOVE ALL PLAY" is expected to fill this gap.
The Horn of the Ultramarines
Synopsis: The super popular teenager in the idol group encounters for the first time something that makes him like from the heart; the teenager who grows up on the island looks forward to running with a horse; the British-born teenager is confused on the road decided by his parents, but he still has to face his dreams bravely.

Synopsis: Eve, who has a talented golf skill, earns money by gambling on golf every day in order to live. One day, she had a fateful encounter with the big business Qianjin and golf elite Tian Vulture Aoi. The two attract each other, influence each other, and change each other.
《BIRDIE WING –Golf Girls' Story》
Highlights: From football and badminton to horse racing and golf, the number of sports this month has exceeded the standard. If "The Horn of Ultramarines" is a bit rotten, then "BIRDIE WING – Golf Girls' Story" is more "orange in orange", and there is always one that can satisfy the audience's appetite.
