Lots of series ended these two weeks. Apart from few that will continue to air this Summer, we have some already planned their new season/cour in the coming October like Owari no Seraph (終わりのセラフ), while others are more or less finding their way to a new season like DanMachi (ダンジョンに出会いを求めるのは間違っているだろうか) and Sidonia no Kishi (シドニアの騎士). So before we get into each one below, we might already had an impression of what to expect in this hot season. For example we have some most expected series like Kangoku Gakuen (監獄学園) and Key’s Charlotte, and perhaps, the second season of To Love-Ru Darkness.
GANGSTA.
