So Yuki Yuna prequel is a movie in theaters or TV? They're only a month apart so I'm guessing the later? Thought they were gonna incorporate that into the sequel series where the first half is the prequel stuff.

it's part of the series, 6 eps each. I think i heard something about early screenings in theaters but w/e, doesn't involve me.

It seems like an odd choice to make a serious Astro Boy anime that isn't Pluto.

well, adapting an ongoing manga means they have more merchandising opportunities/chance for future seasons.

Eccentric Family 2, DanMachi 2, AoT 2, Bahamut 2, My Hero Academia 2... Hell of a season for sequels. And on top of all that, theres even more Natsume.

Sakurada Reset seems interesting too, and there seems to be some Overlord OVA or movie thing as well.

I don't think it's aiming to be much like Build Fighters op. Just hazarding a guess.

DanMachi SO isn't really a sequel, it's taking place before/during its predecessor.

AOT 2 is not gonna be very good based on the material. And the boobstring craze doesn't happen twice.

That leaves just Bahamut and MHA. We need more announcements.

The real problem is that it tricks you with great art and action, but its fanservice increases exponentially as it goes on, to a distressing and bad degree.

From what I've heard, it gets really bad. There's also the fact that season 1 was four years ago and the sheen has probably come off the series in the fans' eyes.

I didn't make it very far past what the anime covered and yeah, it just began to bore me. Four years is probably too long a wait for that sequel as well.

The coup arc is a little slow, brings the whole can o' worms about the story's politics to the surface (I'm not saying it goes full Hitler, just that it draws attention to some uncomfortable and so-far unanswered questions about where Isayama is taking all this), and involves significantly less sicknasty Titan MMA. That said, the arcs before it do involve quite a bit of sicknasty Titan MMA, plus some other extremely cool poo poo, so it'll still be a fun ride. May just fall off a bit in its second half, particularly since I don't trust Araki to make the smart directorial choices necessary to improve that arc - he's not great at pacing, and a little too faithful in his adaptations.

He also loves him some stylish badassery for the sake of it, so he'll probably milk that for all its worth.

Without the fanservice (and there's a lot to the point of it being borderline hentai), it'd probably be a pretty good Shounen battle series. I like it, even if there's some troubling and skeevy parts. I do admire his rather elaborate setup though.

In a sort of cosmic irony, it runs in the same magazine as MaiDragon which is definitely cool and good and not skeevy except for one character but only due to her design.

Funniest thing about the boobstring craze, there was a month long shortage of ribbons in Manchester, at least 5 stores in Afflecks Palace selling lengths of ribbon for like £3 per 10cm with Hestia's face everywhere on cheaply printed signs. The pole dancing school round the corner advertising Hestia dance lessons, and the assistant manager of my bank walking in one day wearing one with her suit jacket slung over one shoulder.

That's several things but they all add together into a giant ball of wtf.
