Still no shipping to Australia, though 😢
I love this composition. It’s not particularly special, but I love it
I've heard this mentioned quite often but have never taken the trouble to look it up. Seven seasons! It must be doing something right… I'll add it to my backlog list. I'm working through JoJo's atm.
The trailer for Captivated by You doesn't give anything away — it's mentioned almost as an afterthought to the abovementioned Let's Go Karaoke. Weird. The two manga by the same author are both getting an adaptation this season; I guess I'll watch them as a pair.

"A high school choirboy is roped into teaching a yakuza to sing so that he won't lose a karaoke competition" is just a brilliant premise for a show. I don't even care if the songs suck: Let's Go Karaoke!

Necronomico and the Cosmic Horror Show has an interesting title, and its bright colour palette sets it apart from other "trapped in a VR game" shows. Another one for the hmmm, maybe list…

Tougen Anki: Legend of the Cursed Blood seems to be using "Momotaro" and "Oni" to put a thin veneer of Japanese folklore onto a fairly standard "vampires/werewolves secretly battle through the ages" story. Looks like it will be silly exposition as an excuse for fight scenes.

Ruri Rocks is a cute-girls-doing-cute-things hobby show about finding minerals and polishing them up for jewellery… the trailer is chock full of off-putting ogling of the supervising teacher. Hopefully it's not so gross if it's a small amount spread out over full episodes.

In Busu ni Hanataba wo., a girl with low self-esteem punches above her weight in a high school romance. Decent character designs, seems to have a sense of humour. I'll give it a few episodes to see where it goes.

Alternative WWI with steampunkish mechs, flying jellyfish and whale blimps, and kids running around in the sky. Based on a real novel instead of a visual novel — hence the one word title, Leviathan — so maybe it will do world-building that goes beyond "it's like a crappy MMO".

The range of different art styles in the trailer is enough to pique my interest in Detectives These Days are Crazy!… but will it be funny? Only one way to find out…

I'm expecting this to be another bland princess fantasy set in a generic European kingdom, but some of the art (especially the kaiju and the fire and ice magic) was enough to give Secrets of the Silent Witch a go.

I'm going to try A Married Woman's Lips Taste Like Canned Chu-hai because it's a romance involving adult characters… but the moment where she grabs her breast and waves a drink in a very unsexy way is not giving me high hopes. Hopefully there is more to it.

The trailer for See You Tomorrow at the Food Court doesn't really give away much… two girls with seemingly different outlooks on life (because one of them is a gyaru and the other has boring black hair) eat and chat after school? Surely there is more to it? But maybe not?

I enjoyed the Solo Camping for Two manga and drama, and I love Laid Back Camp, so yes, I am very much looking forward to this (even though some of the characters look very strange and lumpy).

I quite like a food anime, but I'm not going to lie, the moment where he squirts tomato sauce on his face almost made me drop this instantly. But the odd premise (food genius and maths genius cross paths) is interesting enough that I'll give Fermat no Ryouri a go.

Nyaight of the Living Cat (ugh, what a title) could be a good parody of zombie movies. Hopefully it's a short anime? The joke might wear a bit thin.

With You and the Rain looks like a cosy show about a possibly depressed woman who is cheered up when she adopts (or perhaps is adopted by) a tanuki. Cute! Rainy! I'm in!
youtu.be/i-dy1huj7-E
I honestly expected a show about a young woman engineered to be some kind of superhuman assassin, with a title like "Virgin Punk", to involve… different costume and camera angles. The trailer suggests the focus will be on action rather than leering fan service. Promising!

The Fragrant Flower Blooms With Dignity seems like a by-the-numbers Romeo & Juliet kind of romance. Hopefully the leads are not too bland. (The patisserie looks delicious!)
youtu.be/wMDwbC-cAQg
The Summer Hikaru Died seems visually a bit "Parasyte by Makoto Shinkai", which is probably a good thing if the CG doesn't stand out too much. If it's more of a mystery than a straight body horror show, it could be good.

The trailer for Gachiakuta immediately gave a Mad Max meets Fire Force vibe, and it turns out the mangaka worked as an assistant on Fire Force and Soul Eater, so that makes sense. The world looks interesting; hopefully it's not too derivative.

Another light comedy, Dekin no Mogura: The Earthbound Mole is about a chap who has to collect spirits in order to pass on to the afterlife. Love the sketchy art and the very un-genki facial expressions.
youtu.be/Vomd4o9lNXU
Bad Girl seems like a fairly light comedy about trying to be cool when you're actually a square at heart. I can relate to that! Also the main character reminds me of my wife…

Turkey! Time to Strike is hard to figure out. Is it a sports show? Or more of a slice-of-life school club deal? Either could be okay, as long as it's more than a vehicle for selling standees of colour-coded moe girls. Might give it a couple of episodes but I'm sceptical.

Maybe I've been primed by watching the Rikuoh drama (about a tabi maker trying to make a running shoe) but I'm ready for 100 Meters. Seems like it could be Ping Pong but about competitive running. The animation looks EXCELLENT. This is probably what I'm most excited for.

With this season's #anime winding up, and needing a distraction from the world collapsing into nuclear war, maybe I should figure out which summer shows I will check out.
Here are the shows I am interested in (excluding continuing shows), based mostly on their trailers, and in no particular order.
