Premieres July 5th. The new PV is here. Check out the ANN article for additional information. Synopsis for the first season from AniList:

High schooler Wakana Gojou cares about one thing: making Hina dolls. With nobody to share his obsession, he has trouble finding friends—or even holding conversation. But after the school’s most popular girl, Marin Kitagawa, reveals a secret of her own, he discovers a new purpose for his sewing skills. Together, they’ll make her cosplay dreams come true!

Very excited for this show to come back, as well as Call of the Night and Bunny-Girl Senpai. I have so many shows on my watchlist this season.

You know im not big on real world anime drama stuff but I have to say this one and bunny-girl senpai have enough plot to keep my interest and I find them entertaining despite my fantasy fiction type of bias. This is opposed to like rent-a-girlfriend which is just sorta a mundane harem thing (or seems that way to me.)

Yeah R-A-G is trash lol. I am a slice of life / comedy / romance whore, but god are a lot of them crap. Romance in particular is fucking all over the place, quality-wise. If you like Dress-Up Darling I'd recommend Makeine if you haven't seen it, I feel like they have a similar feel and they're both in my top ten shows for sure. Bunny-Girl Senpai is of course very similar to Monogatari thematically, though the latter is MUCH crazier and darker. Actually pretty similar in look and vibe to Call of the Night too, I think the director of that also did at least some of Monogatari. And if you're looking for actually good harem, I'd recommend Quintessential Quintuplets and of course the delightfully unhinged 100 Girlfriends.

Ive seen the quintuplets and did like that one. I only watch what crunchy roll decides to open up for freebie folks like me. Thanks for the recommendations though as they tend to temporarily open up a slew and then im like. which should I try first. Whats funny is I really liked fruits basket from awhile back but when I came back to it I lost the vibe. It was nice it had an ending though.

Manga cover in the bottom left; is that The Ancient Magus' Bride? Looks similar-ish to me
