THE WINTER 2020 ANIME LINEUP
SECTION (1) – TV Anime that I will add in my watchlist, my reasons for choosing these titles were based on factors such as graphics/visuals, character designs, plot/synopsis – which pass my standard for anime or looks appealing to me. Nonetheless, I also consider the studio working behind these anime projects and the people behind the curtain. While in most cases, it is always the story presented in its synopsis is the huge basis for my choice but whether I will like it or not falls upon when the anime officially premiered. I remember from the previous seasons, some of my early favorites turn out to be disappointments (Assassins Pride, Magmel of the Sea Blue, Arifureta, etc.) so I am not also closing the door for new titles to enter my watchlist or for dropping some of my early favorites.
[Update] The season is finally over and here’s our best anime of winter 2020 season review.
However, I would like to clarify that this list was based on my own preferences, and that is why I have listed even the shows that are not in my own watchlist in order to help my fellow anime viewers to see other anime titles that they may find appealing in the section (2) of this post.
Fate/Grand Order: Absolute Demonic Front –Babylonia-
Fate/Grand Order: Zettai Majuu Sensen Babylonia. 2017 AD. The last era in which Magecraft still existed. Society was created by human hands, but Mages grasped the truth of the world. Magecraft is comprised of techniques from past humans that cannot be explained by science, while science encompasses the techniques of future humans that Magecraft cannot achieve. Researchers and scholars of both Magecraft and science have been gathered to maintain human civilization under the Chaldea Security Organization. But calculations then proved the extinction of humanity in 2019. The cause of this is “realms that cannot be observed” that suddenly appeared in various eras of history, called “Singularities.” Ritsuka Fujimaru, the one Master remaining in Chaldea, has been intervening within these Singularites, alongside the Demi-Servant Mash Kyrielight. He has been attending to the forbidden rituals to resolve or destroy the Singularities: the “Grand Order.” A seventh Singularity has been discovered in ancient Mesopotamia in the year 2655 BC. The land of Uruk, governed by the wise King Gilgamesh after his return from a journey seeking immortality, was grand and prosperous until three goddesses and countless Demonic Beasts appeared. These enemies have brought Uruk to the brink of destruction. With a “Rayshift,” a method of time travel to the past, Fujimaru and Mash arrive in the lands of Uruk to encounter the fortress city of Uruk and the Absolute Demonic Front, fighting back the fearsome attack of the Demonic Beasts. There, the people who live their lives to the fullest despite facing a major threat, continue to fight for their future. Deities and Demonic Beasts make their assault, and mankind stands up against it. It is the destined era where humans and gods part ways. Fujimaru and Mash, the pair who have raced through six previous Singularities, embark on their final battle. [Source: Crunchyroll]
