What's Actually Good? | Winter 2016 Anime Season (January) | Trash!
Are you tired of going through shit anime series every season? Why do you have to go through hours of generic characters and panties shots to find one decent show?
Well Midnight City Nerd has a solution for you!
Assassination Classroom (TV) 2
Synopsis: Class 3-E has only two missions, pass the exams and kill their teacher by graduation. This group of misfits have been tasked with saving the world from their tentacle monster teacher, who might just be the greatest teacher ever?
Also he can move at 20 mach speed, good luck!
Studio: Lerche
Genre: Action, Comedy,Shounen,School
Thoughts: The first season was great, humongous cast of interesting character, that were just starting to shine near the end of the season. Koro-sensei is always hilarious and making references. I expect more comedic madness in this season.

Dagashi Kashi (TV)
Synopsis: Son of a famous rural sweet shop owner, Shikada Kokonotsu is faced with a dilemma. His father wants him to take over the family business but Kokonotsu wants to be a Manga artist. One day a weird girl appears and she has one objective, to make Kokonotsu take over the business and have his father, join her families company.
Studio: Feel
Genre: Comedy, Shounen
Thoughts: Fan of the comedy in this series, I read the manga and enjoy it quite a bit. Feel studio is sorta known for releasing trash (KissxSis, Outbreak Company, Da Capo) but I must say it's really nice looking trash, so in regards of animation, it should be enjoyable.
Ajin (TV)
Synopsis: Immortality can be a scary thing, Kei Nagai learns this after he gets hit by a truck and finds out that he is a "Demi-Human" someone who can not die. In the public's eye, he is a monster and people like him are hunted by the government. Horrified by this discovery, he runs away with his friend and so his journey begins.
Studio: POLYGON PICTURES
Genre: Seinen, Horror, Mystery, Supernatural
Thoughts: Okay I know it is going to be animated with CGI but this is the same studio who made Knights Of Sidonia, which honestly might be the best looking CGI in anime at the moment.
Boku Dake Ga Inai Machi (TV)
Synopsis: Struggling manga author Satoru Fujinuma is beset by his fear to express himself.However, he has a supernatural ability of being forced to prevent deaths and catastrophes by being sent back in time before the incident occurred, repeating time until the accident is prevented. One day, he gets involved in an accident that has him framed as a murderer. Desperate to save the victim, he sends himself back in time only to find himself as a grade-schooler one month before fellow classmate Kayo Hinazuki went missing. Satoru now embarks on a new quest: to save Kayo and solve the mystery behind her disappearance.

Studio: A-1 Pictures
Genre: Mystery, Psychological, Seinen, Supernatural
Thoughts: I am not too familiar with this series but I am familiar with the author, Kei Sanbe, He wrote this obscure gem called Mouryou no Yurikago or Cradle of Monsters. I am confident that this show will prove to be awesome.
Durarara!!x2 Ketsu
Synopsis: I wish I could summarize this series but it is practically impossible. It is the third part of the second season of a Durarara!! It's a vast intertwining story and a convoluted cluster-fuck of awesomeness. Just watch the previews installments.
Studio: Studio Shuka
Genre: Action, Mystery, Shounen, Supernatural
Thoughts: Although I love this series, it does suffer of a bad case of slow pacing yet I can't help but feel excited whenever a new episode drops. I want to see what happens next to these eccentric and captivating characters, who are thrown into a city with gangs, monsters and all kinds of Insane personalities.
Dimension W (TV)
Synopsis: In the year 2071, the world's energy problems seem solved by a network of cross-dimensional eletric-field conductors- "coils"-that extract energy from a seemingly infinite source. That source is the W dimension, a fourth plane that exists beyond the X,Y, and Z dimensions.
In this world, unofficial "illegal" coils harness powers that the police can't hope to counter. Dealing with these coils is the job of coil-hating Repo-man Kyoma, whose run-in with the unique coil android Mira leads the two to form a reluctant partnership.

Studio: 3Hz x Orange
Genre: Sci-Fi, Seinen, Action
Thoughts: This one looks good but it could well, just turn out to be horrendous. the character and universe's design are gorgeous, the premise seems to be worthy of becoming a classic. Only time will tell.
