Well, the Summer 2020 Anime Season has limped in to underwhelm the entertainment-starved fans. “One Piece” and “Meitantei Conan” are finally continuing. “One Piece” has started out strong while “Conan” started out with an abysmally bad filler. In theory “Fugou Keiji” and “Houkago Teibou” will restart at some point but I haven’t found any sign
yet.

Unless something comes up it looks like I will be watching more old
anime again this season.

You're right, it looks really thin this season. Nothing like a
global pandemic to disrupt, well, everything.

Well, not all is lost. Masaki Yuuasa is directing Nihon Chinbotsu 2020 (Japan Sinks 2020) based on the famous (in Japan) 1973 novel. I have high hopes for this, as I'm a fan of his stuff. (Kaiba, Tatami Galaxy, Ping
Pong the Animation, Lu Over The Wall, Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken!, etc)
As I understand it, it's likeTokyo Magnitude 8.0, but bigger - a family struggles to survive as the entire Japanese island chain, well, sinks.
Also, I caught the first episode of Deca-Dence last night. I was initially hesitant, because it's another post-apocalyptic last small group of
humans struggling to survive against huge monsters show, but it's well
set up and executed, so I'm going to stick with it for a while. Liked it better than the first Fire Force S2 episode. The pun in the title is off-putting, though.
