This week we discuss our favourite anime shows for 2018. First, we look at the first part of "Attack on Titan" season 3. The show's first season was an unexpected success and what followed was a disappointing second season. Will the third season do enough to win back fans, or will it continue to delay the inevitable?
Then, we discuss "A Place Further than the Universe", a coming of age story about four teenage girls set in Antarctica. The series has been garnering critical acclaim and even made the New York Times list of best international shows of the year.
Then we look at "Violet Evergarden", based on the award-winning light novel of the same name. The story follows Violet, an ex-soldier reintegrating back into society after the war. And her journey to find meaning after serving as a soldier.
And finally, we review "High Score Girl" a romantic comedy set during the Japanese arcade scene in the 90s. It revolves around underachiever Haruo and his passion for video games. His world is turned upside down when he meets Akira, a mysterious girl with superior gaming skills. Invigorated by the challenge, he makes her a rival. But the rivalry develops into something else entirely, when he discovers that Akira has to leave Japan for America.
