One Punch Man is one of the most hilarious anime series to appear in the past decade, so here's hoping that the Spring 2019 sequel will provide more of the same. The story follows Saitama, a superhero who can defeat any enemy in a single punch. While this might sound like a boring story with an OP protagonist, it's actually a clever parody of shonen anime tropes.
The new season will be handled by J.C. Staff instead of Madhouse and will see Saitama meeting two new enemies, and maybe even falling in love.

Kaguya-sama: Love is War

Kaguya Shinomiya and Miyuki Shirogane are members of the student council at an elite boarding school. They're also madly in love with each other - but neither one wants to be the first to admit it. Rather than summoning the courage to confess their own feelings, the two try to goad the other into confessing - resulting in completely ridiculous situations like both characters insisting they don't have an umbrella in the hopes that the other will offer theirs. It's a cat-and-mouse game that's basically what would happen if Death Note were a romantic comedy. Do yourself a favor and check this show out.

The original Fruits Basket anime aired in 2001, but in 2019 the series is being rebooted! It follows Tohru Honda, an orphan who finds herself embroiled in the affairs of the mysterious Sohma family. The Sohmas are cursed to transform into the animals of the Chinese Zodiac when embraced by a member of the opposite sex.
While Fruits Basket fits comfortably into a wide range of genres including drama, slice of life, and more, it's also a comedy. Most of the humor is based around the physical comedy that comes from trying to avoid public transformations, as well as the silly character interactions. If you want a show that will make you laugh, cry, and everything else in between, check out the Fruits Basket reboot.

- Silver, Arvo Animation
In order to build a better life for his family, Nariyuki Yuiga puts all his efforts into winning the coveted VIP nomination, a full-ride scholarship to university. When he wins, he's overjoyed - but there's a catch. He has to tutor the two runners-up, Rizu Ogata and Fumino Furuhashi, in the subjects they find most difficult. This wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for the fact that both want to pursue careers in the areas of study they struggle most with. If you're looking for an academic comedy reminiscent of The Quintessential Quintuplets, this Spring 2019 anime should fit the bill.
