Crunchyroll Winter 2019: Final Slate of Anime Shows Announced
Rejoice, Anime fans! Crunchyroll has released their final list of pickups for the Winter 2019 programming season, with all the new shows either currently available or premiering within the next ten days.
This latest batch consists mainly of shows about cute teenagers and fantasy versions of their lives, which takes up the majority of the anime market for kids and teens. The January anime season tends to favour cute shows, with a few dark and gritty shows thrown in–though none on this final list are particularly dark or nasty, so some of you might feel relieved about that. We can talk about the just-debuted The Promised Neverland and Magical Girl Spec Ops Asuka but they are deserving of their own conversation…
Date a Live III
Shido is just an ordinary school boy, but, he's been recruited to help seal Spirits—the mystical creatures responsible for the spacequakes that threaten mankind. There's just one catch: the only way to seal a Spirit is to make her fall in love with him. Now that he's saved the world once or twice, more trouble is headed his way, and there's only so much one boy can handle. (Premieres 1/11/2019)
The Quintessential Quintuplets
Uesugi Fuutarou, a high school second-year from a poor family, receives a highly appealing offer to work part-time as a tutor… but his students turn out to be girls from his own class! What's more, they're quintuplets… and all five are beautiful, but happen to be problem students who have borderline grades and hate studying! Looks like his first assignment will be to win all the sisters' trust?! (Premieres 1/10/2019)
ENDRO!
In the land of Naral Island, a land of magic and swords, humans and monsters live together. Once upon a time, there used to be a terrifying Demon Lord, but long, long ago the first Hero defeated the Demon Lord that appeared on Naral Island. The Demon Lord would revive again and again throughout the ages, but every time a Hero would appear to defeat it… Now these young girls attend an Adventurer's Academy to prepare them to defeat the Demon Lord that will one day rise again.
