April means the spring anime season is upon us once more, and this year’s lineup has some of the heaviest hitters in recent memory. If it wasn’t enough to have the highly anticipated Witch Hat Atelier, we even have Akane-Banashi and a slew of other shows with tons of potential. While many of these are indeed manga adaptations, a lot of them have some sturdy legs underneath them, and I wouldn’t be surprised to see something like Daemons of the Shadow Realm (from the creator of Fullmetal Alchemist), Scenes from Awajima, or even I Made Friends with the 2nd Prettiest Girl in My Class get some real traction.
I do find it funny that Rooster Fighter is out in the same season as the Fist of the North Star remake.

Blog Highlights from March
My thoughts on 7th fes from hololive!
A tribute to the voice one of my favorite characters of all time.
I visited an amazing store in Japan that I probably wouldn’t think was real if I hadn’t gone there myself.

March wasn’t a big month for tweets, but there are some interesting ones in there.
Closing
I know this blog isn‘t as Kio and Genshiken-tacular as it was at the very beginning, but I plan on having more than one related post this month. After all, the digital edition of Rakuen Volume 50 is out, and with it likely the last physical serialization of Spotted Flower. And I’m saying this now to make me actually write these dang things!
