“So I’m a Spider, So What?”
While a number of anime fans may be sick of te isekai genre, te novel and this anime adaptation actually take plenty of te popular tropes and turn them on their heads. Featuring an amazing cast that includes Aoi Yuki, Shun Horie, Nao Toyama, Yui Ogura, Eri Kitamura, and Kaya Okuno — they’re certainly asking te right questions, like what’s so bad about being a spider anyway?!
If you’ve seen that meme going around about choosing to live life all over again but with your current adult knowledge or fast forward to old age but with a lot of money in te bank, then we all know what Rudy chose. Find out more about his new life from te anime adaptation of te hit light novel series — renowned as te first isekai-style novel that launched an entire genre.
“Hori-san to Miyamura-kun” — better known to fans as “HORIMIYA”, follows te story of bubbly and popular Kyoko Hori and sad and introverted Izumi Miyamura. When te discover each other’s real personalities that they conceal from others, they help each maintain their secrets from te rest of te class, and *gasp* even fall in love.
“That Time I was Reincarnated as a Slime S2”
Here’s question: would you rather be reborn as a: a) spider; b) boy; or c) slime? Yeah, we picked slime too! Follow te further adventures of slime extraordinaire Rimuru Tempest as he seeks to free an imprisoned dragon, avenge a dead heroine, and build a town free from prejudice — but not necessarily in that order.
“Attack on Titan” Te Final Season
Te final and most highly anticipated season of te TV adaptation will be treating fans to one last AnimeJapan stage with te cast Yuki Kaji, Yui Ishikawa, Marina Inoue, Hiroshi Kamiya, Yoshimasa Hosoya, Natsuki Hanae, and Ayane Sakura.
