I decided get ahead of the game or try to get in game on Winter upcoming Animes. Pretty much bored killing time doing this for fun. I am actually seeing what comes out while making another post of Green-Lits which are coming out in the near future. This post will get some updates as i go through them. Sources are usually from Animenewsnetwork, Moetron, myanimelist, or found randomly somehow.
Winter Anime Listing:

Yūsha confronts Maō about the destructive war that the demons have imposed on humans.

One day, Kodaka accidentally comes across the equally solitary and very abrasive Yozora Mikazuki while she converses with her imaginary friend Tomo. Realizing that neither of them have any social lives, they decide that the best way to improve their situation is to form a club: the Neighbor's Club precisely intended to make friends and learn social skills.
