With the Spring season of anime behind us, we can look forward to the new Summer 2020 Crunchyroll season of anime. Spring season was definitely the beginning of COVID and how the world deals with this new emerging threat. While there were some really good standout shows for me in the Spring, COVID changed the schedule of release titles making it a much weaker lineup. Let’s take a look at what Crunchyroll has to offer us for the Spring 2020 season.
I am going to list the category the anime falls under and a short thought.
New Simulcasts
The God of High School – Great martial artists from across Korea and the world come together for the action-packed tournament to become The God of High School! –Looks pretty good, I’ll watch it.
RE:Zero – Starting Life in Another World – Season 2 – Re:ZERO finally returns as Subaru aims to solve the mysteries behind the death loop and the Fog of Elimination! –Really excited for this continuing series. This was a show that was suppose to air last season but got postponed due to COVID. I’ll watch it.
Rent-A-Girlfriend – After a big breakup, Kazuya Kinoshita meets Chizuru Mizuhara, a young woman who works as a “Rental Girlfriend.” –Looks ok. I don’t really like the title of this show and not sure if I will watch it.
Gibiate – In the year 2030, zombies and monsters called Gibia roam Japan with samurai and ninja set out to defeat them. –Not sure what to think of this. I might give this a try.
The Misfit of Demon King Academy – An old demon king is reincarnated 2,000 years after his reign and is accepted into a school with all his descendants. –Don’t think I would like this one.

Healin’ Good Pretty Cure – Three girls come together to form the Healin’ Good Pretty Cure team and defend The Healing Garden, a secret world inside Earth! –Not sure about this one either. Looks like a Pulla Magica Madoka theme and art without the weird stuff. Maybe.
Monster Girl Doctor – A doctor named Glenn specializes in treating all kinds of monster girls in a world where humans and monsters coexist. –Haven’t really watched any of the other Monster Girl shows so not sure if I should start with this one. Probably pass.
That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime OAD 4 – Part two of the brand new OAD of That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime! –This show was good enough to watch so and I haven’t seen any of of OAD’s so I’ll probably watch them.

Returning Spring Titles

Food Wars! The Fifth Plate – In the heated final season of Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma, Yukihira Soma and the Totsuki Academy compete in The Blue! –Really excited for this last season. This was one that was postponed due to COVID last season. I was turned off by season three and four. When I binge watched it again it was pretty good so I think it was just too long between each show that I forgot what was happening.
Sword Art Online Alicization War of Underworld – Our heroes to push forward to save Alice. The final arc of Sword Art Online: Alicization is coming soon! –Don’t really like this flux Eugeo arc so I’ll pass.

Overview
Out of 29 shows, 7 I really want to watch, 2 will try out and 9 are maybe’s.
Compared to Spring 2020 which had 26 shows, 4 I really want to watch, 5 will try out and 3 are maybe’s. 3 were postponed.
That’s a lot of watching. Im really excited to continue watching Re;Zero, Fire Force, Food Wars and One Piece. The God of High School also looks like a show right up my ally. Tournaments, training and powers with some story.
In addition, I’m also looking to Finish up Fate/Grand Order and I went into Kaguya-sama: Love is War with the wrong mindset so I am going to give that one another try. And, I’ve been re-watching shows and I want to see Yowamushi Pedal, Fate/Zero, Fate/Stay Night and Akame ga Kill! again.
