CATDOLL: The most anticipated new anime in April selected by Japanese media is not favored by the original author?

It is now mid-March, and the new anime of April 2016 is about to start airing. Before each airing, Japanese media will do some surveys on the expectations of new anime. Now the Japanese anime website animeanime has released their survey results. From the list, we can see that adapted animations are more likely to be expected. Although there are some good original new anime in April this year, only one of them made the list. It seems that many viewers are still taking a wait-and-see attitude towards original animations. There is also an episode about the expectations of new anime. "Bungo Stray Dogs" can be said to be highly anticipated on this list, but the original author does not seem to be optimistic about his work. He posted a sentence on Twitter: "Well, but expectations are often different from the results?" I don't know what he wants to express.

No. 10: Bound

This work is produced by TRIGGER, an animation company that has produced popular works including "Ninja Slayer", "Little Witch Academia", and "Kill la Kill". Screenwriter Mari Okada will write the script for this work. The original character design is from manga artist Shiro Miwa. Hiroshi Kobayashi, who is serving as a supervisor for the first time, is regarded as a young and talented person. He has been responsible for the storyboard of the animation "Rage of Bahamut GENESIS". The boys and girls carry each other's pain and begin this summer story!

No. 9 My Hero Academia

One of the recent popular works of Shonen Jump, this animation is also strongly promoted by Shonen Jump. This is a new generation of heroic action drama, and the comic book has achieved excellent sales results before the animation. The animation version will be produced by Bones, which is good at fighting production, so there is no need to worry about the quality of the animation. The battle scenes are exciting enough, and I believe the popularity will have a chance to increase significantly.

No. 8: Tanaka-kun is always so lazy

This is a daily drama that is so lazy that it will make you sleepy, depicting the lively daily life of the exhausted boy Tanaka and his classmates. Generally speaking, such daily dramas always have a good market.

No. 7: My name is Sakamoto and I am the coolest

This work was incredibly popular when the comic was serialized. Sakamoto's pretentiousness has reached a superb level. The various spoof scenes and the unpredictable plot development made this work a masterpiece loved by netizens. I believe that the animation can also show all of this. In addition, the voice actors of this work are also luxurious. In addition to the main character voice actor Midorikawa Hikaru, 20 luxurious voice actors were announced, which is also exciting.

No. 6: Asterisk Season 2

　　After the first season of this work was released, it received rave reviews and boosted the sales of the original work. The official also took advantage of the opportunity to launch the second season of this work. It seems that everyone still has a good feeling about this type of work.

Tied with No. 4: Macross Delta

The music of the Macross series has always been the focus of the works, but this new work has started a new attempt, that is, introducing an idol group. And the number of protagonists has also increased. It seems that this time it is not just a love triangle, but a polyamorous love...

No. 4: The Adventures of Sinbad the Magic Flute

This is a spin-off of the manga "MAGI", in which Sinbad's adventure story will be revealed. It tells the story of Sinbad, known as the King of the Seven Seas, his past adventures and how he met his friends.

No. 3 "Online game wife can't be a girl?"

　　This work is adapted from the light novel of the same name, telling the story of meeting a girl in an online game. The protagonist of this work, Hideki Nishimura, once confessed to a female character in the online game, but the other party was a shemale pretending to be a girl. With this unknown dark history, he was confessed to by a female character in the online game one day. He thought that the dark history would repeat itself again, but the "wife" Ako in the online game turned out to be a real beautiful girl, and she didn't even know how to distinguish between reality and the game.

No. 2: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond is Unbreakable

The fourth season of the classic manga "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure" has a new voice actor and a slightly different style, but the description of the Stand's battle is still worth looking forward to.

No. 1: Bungo Stray Dogs

The anime "Bungo Stray Dogs", in which characters based on historical literary masters use supernatural powers to fight, attracted widespread attention when it was first announced that it would be adapted into an anime. The official also continuously released information about the characters and voice actors of the anime. After the release of the first official PV of this work, everyone seems to be paying more attention to this work.

The above are the most anticipated new animations in April 2016 selected by Japanese websites. Basically, all the popular animations are on the list. However, it is a bit puzzling that "Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress", which was previously regarded as the hegemon of April, did not make the list. After all, the production team of this work is quite strong. Is it because everyone thinks it is an original animation and they are not sure about it? What new animations are you looking forward to in April? Why not tell us and discuss it together?
