So we have two Gundams series. One is for the hardcore fans and another is for fans who love fanservice in Gundam! SeHa Girls looked interesting since I grew up with Sega games in general. Ai Tenchi Muyo is for fans who loved the original series (I wasn't really into the old series as I am more of a Ranma fan during that period.)
 
Seven Deadly Sins, World Trigger and Trinity Seven are manga titles that I am reading now and it is pretty good. Terraformars which they produced an ODA prior to this series is actually talking about the second expedition team and the TV series is about the third team. I read the manga and it really got balls! It is dark and sometimes gruesome but at least it is more interesting than Attack on Titans since the humans have enhanced superhuman strength to fight the entire population of Terraformars. (I won't be surprised if Terraformars is this year's Attack on Titans)
 
Log Horizon, Psycho Pass, FSN: UBW, Yowamushi Pedal and Hitsugui no Chaika are shows that I followed two season back which I am going to do so this October. Garo is surprisingly made into an Anime now. If only Kamen Rider Spirits and ULTRAMAN can be make into anime, I will go fanboy immediately.
 
The rest of the shows as usual, I will watch the first three episodes first before making my choice on what to review! Until then, see you in October for the new season!
