This was a whitewash, pretty much. I certainly expected Vinland Saga to come out on top but perhaps not by quite such a margin. Initially I was a bit surprised that Dr. Stone claimed second but then looked at the overall season again and, well – what other likely candidate was there, really? Maybe Kanata no Astra (which I thought might do better than fourth).

First of all, it comes on the heels of two weak seasons, and fall doesn’t look good either. That makes ‘19 a candidate for worst anime year on record. But the biggest fear factor for me is that there literally hasn’t been a new series announcement in at least three months that really interests me. Not a one. That’s easily a personal record, and the implications for Winter 2020 (and even Spring to an extent) are not good.

July 6, 2019 at 7:00 amHey Enzo, this comment is unrelated to this post, but I’m trying to dip my toe back into anime.
I haven’t watched any anime (except Jojo’s) for the past three months because of uni stress. What have I missed? (lol)
