Animators recommend a new April release
Although everyone is reluctant.,But in January 2014, the new episode has ended the broadcast of the final words one after another.。 The so-called old does not go, and the new does not come. While feeling sorry,The pace of the new spring is also approaching.。 This year's April new episodes can be described as frequent masterpieces, and the number of works scheduled to be broadcast has reached more than 50. I believe that even veteran otaku will be difficult to watch the plot of the first episode one by one, right? April this year is really a season of joy and sorrow.
To this end, some Japanese media recently invited animation directors and scriptwriters in the industry to select 10 works from many spring new episodes to recommend to everyone. If you can become somewhat interested in these ten works after reading the following introduction, then the purpose of this article has been achieved. Without further ado, let's get to the point!
[Soul Eater NOT!]
This anime is based on the manga of the same name serialized in "Monthly Shonen Gangan" as the original work. It is also a sequel to the 2008 animation "Soul Eater". "Soul Eater" produced by the Bone Society, with its handsome battle scenes and ingenious scenes and character design, is still a masterpiece in the minds of many people today. On the basis of "Soul Eater", this work further reflects the happy campus life. The three girls who are the protagonists of the work are all freshmen of the Death Martial Arts College (Death Weapon Craftsman College), and the voices for them are Haruka Chisuga, Yuki Bi, and Saori Hayami. Among them, Haruka Chisuga is the first dubbing work of the protagonist. The director of this film is Masakazu Hashimoto, who once produced "TARI-TARI", and whether the animation director can bring us the noisy school life of girls is also the biggest attraction of this film.
["Captain Earth"]
This film is an original anime. The director is Takuya Igarashi, the series is composed of Yoji Enodo, and the animation production is by Bone Society. It can be said that it is the regrouping of the zuò group of the previous popular work "STARDRIVER Shiny Tacot". A starry summer night sky, Tanegashima towering with space rockets...... This kind of worldview setting that gives people a refreshing feeling makes people can't help but look forward to this film being a wonderful youth group drama. However, considering the above-mentioned lineup, we must not take it lightly. Yoji Enoto, a talented scriptwriter, can perfectly integrate youth group dramas with science fiction works with the theme of Wang Daoji qìren? Don't look away.

["Able-bodied Fighter of the Machine"]
This work is an anime based on the manga of the same name drawn by Japanese manga artist なかま亜咲。 In terms of subject matter, it belongs to a work with a lot of benefits and a gentleman's favorite. In the world of this work,If you want to drive a huge machine,,The male protagonist has to do something sexy to the girl.。 This ingenious fusion of the battle between the workers' comedy and the bloody machine qì people that makes people laugh and cry has also attracted the attention of many anime fans. In terms of production personnel, including director Tetsuya Yanagisawa, the original team of "Demon High School D×D" will once again challenge without a lower limit, and I don't know what kind of "naughty" behavior these production personnel are going to make. Including the original manga, this is a work that deserves the attention of able-bodied men.

["Inferior Students in Magic Universities"]
The anime of the same name adapted from the popular light novel "The Inferior Student of a Magic High School" has been concerned by all parties since the news of the production of zuò, and it can be said that it is a highly anticipated work. This work invited the director of the "Genius Mahjong Girl" series to be in charge of the production of zuò, and the other production personnel are also well-known in the industry, which is enough to ensure the level of animation. The highlight of this work is the magic war that is delicately integrated into the world view.,But another thing worth paying attention to is the brother-sister relationship between the protagonist Si Poda and his sister Si Bo Shenxue.。 Saori Hayami dubbed a brother's younger sister, which is enough to make people excited before the anime even starts!

[Devil's Mystery]
This adaptation of the manga of the same name is also not to be missed. The original work of this work is Takagawa Bow, who was in charge of the original character of "Mobile Suit Gundam 00". This time, what he brought us was a dark action work in the school park.。 The director of this anime is Keizo Kusakawa, who has been in charge of "The Sun That Pierces the Phantom" and "Problem Children Are All from Another World?" in recent years. can be said to be one of the most interesting directors in the industry. In terms of scripting, the powerful scripter Kiyoko Yoshimura will show us her old skills again after "Final Exile - Fam of the Silver Wing", and I believe she will also perfectly portray the dark youth drama staged by the assassin girls.

【Date Wars II】
In this sci-fi romantic comedy, people need to use guò love as a means to disempower their enemies, powerful elves. It can be said to be a whimsical work. In the animation adapted from the light novel of the same name, it not only restores the romantic comedy staged by the heroines full of personality in the original work, but also makes the audience addicted to the large-scale battles with outstanding performance effects. This second season will basically follow the lineup of the first season, directed by Keitaro Motonaga, and the series composition is Hideki Shirane, so they should be able to balance the balance between the funny plot and the serious story this time. And for dating fans, this second season is also a long-awaited wait!

["Eska&Rogi's Atelier ~Alchemist of the Evening Sky~"]
This work is an anime based on the game of the same name. In the story, Eska, a girl who learns alchemy from her mother and tries to bring benefits to mankind, becomes the protagonist of the work. With her as the center, warm communication with the people around her has become the theme of the work. Although this work is a fantasy theme, the delicate portrayal of the characters' moods in the plot also makes the work full of feature film style. This is also the area that director Yoshiaki Iwasaki is best at. His previous production of "Zero Demon" and "Miss Black and White" are also loved by the audience. It is conceivable that this work will be a satisfying anime for both fans of the original and anime viewers.

【Sword Spirit】
Speaking of "Sword & Soul", I believe many players will recall the game masterpiece that once swept East Asia. Nowadays, this is also made by GONZO and has become a TV anime. Among the works, the female swordsman Anluka, who ignites her fighting spirit for revenge, is the most eye-catching. And the Oriental sexy female samurai, including her, are also well received by players. As a fantasy game with a martial arts theme, the success of "Sword and Soul" is needless to say. This anime version invited director Hirotsugu Hamasaki, who has been in charge of works such as "TEXHNOLYZE" and "Gate of Destiny Stone", and the other director he worked with is Hiroshi Takeuchi, who was in charge of the character design of "Pirates of the Miniskirt Universe", can the two of them recreate the refreshing action and world view of the original game? I believe that the audience should also be able to enjoy the fierce battle scenes of those big scenes.

["Golden Strings 3-BlueSky-"]
A teenage violinist who strives to win a music contest weaves a school romance with 12 boys. The original work of this film is a female love game of the same name produced by KOEI company. The previous TV animated version of "Golden Strings" was broadcast in 2006. This music-themed work not only has a wonderful plot, but also reveals the atmosphere of a genius everywhere. This animation is directed by the director of the previous work, Yu Jiren, as the chief director, and I believe that it can bring us a masterpiece that is not lost to the previous work, and is suitable for both male and female audiences.
["Mischief of the Gods"]
The original anime is a female-oriented love game that Boccoli released as a PSP on October 24, 2013. This series is composed of Tomoko Kaneharu, and the music is in charge of ElementsGarden, and the animated version of this film also gathers "His Royal Highness the Prince of Songs? The lineup of the production zuò. In the work, the handsome gods in mythology such as Apollo, Loki, and Dionysus will stage a campus love story with the heroine! I'm afraid that just hearing this setting will make both boys and girls feel their hearts skip a beat, right? This mythical love story, which is difficult to predict, will undoubtedly be the work that everyone should look forward to in April.
In addition to the 10 anime introduced above, the third part of "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure" and the second season of "LoveLive!" are all works that deserve our attention in terms of topics and producers. So please be on the basis of the animation works recommended in this article,Get in touch with as many new episodes as possible,Have a fulfilling spring season!
