devil survivor, RDG, the summary seems nice...


there is also some nice movie like aura, seitokai, higurashi...


all in all this season is shaping up to be good...now im having a headache in picking up what to watch and if have time watching it...

how about you all...what your pick..? priority and reject?

Me?

1. Space Battleship Yamato 2199 - Remake of an animated legend and storyboarded by the director of NGE, of all things. Definitely worth a watch.

2. Shingeki no Kyojin - Incredibly interesting premise and directed by Tetsuro Araki, director of Death Note (for better or for worse). Good enough for me.

3. Suisei no Galgantia - Created by the twisted mind of the Urobucher. Given how amazing Psycho Pass is going, he's definitely on a roll.

4. Ore no Imouto S2 - Honestly at this point the only reason I'm watching this is for Kuroneko. And... a lot of anime only viewers probably agree with me on this.

Some of the others will probably be tried first.

The ones that I will be watching are Date A Live, Hentai Ouji to Warawanai Neko, Oreimo S2 and Railgun S.

I am at maximum hype for Hentai Ouji. :D

What? Hayate is the second cour of that "Can't Gouge My Eyes Out Fast Enough" monstrosity?

Arrggh!

And I thought it was going to be a completely different one. Maybe even "End of the World".

Oh well. At least I got Yamato and Railgun (w/ Sister's Arc).

I don't think so. Judging from the sales of Can't, having an announcement at this time would be improbable, unless the studio is willing to waste some cash on it.

Just going by what the sheet says.

From what I'm looking forward to watch this season are in order expectations wise :

Valvrave the Liberator :
Expectation Level : High
Reason : I have lacking experience in mecha, but considering it has good animation as expected from Sunrise, I'll watch it.

Gargantia on the Verdurous Planet :
Expectation Level : Medium-High
Reason : Anything Urobuchi creates is a must-watch for me, but I'm looking forward to see how much it stands out from his other titles.

Date A Live :
Expectation Level : Medium
Reason : Action-oriented harems were always been my favorite thing for me, so I don't miss it with this one.

Crime Edge of the Separated Cut :
Expectation Level : Low
Reason : Have low expectations, but the more than superb animation make me want to watch it.

My Youth's Romantic Comedy is Wrong as Expected :
Expectation Level : Low
Reason : I heard good things from it according to Seven of SeventhStyle, so I have enough reasons to watch it (not counting on how much I read the manga version as well).

The Perverted Prince and the Stony Cat :
Expectation Level : Low
Reason : Kantoku created those superb visuals. I have read the manga, and despite its top-tier strengths it had, the story looked so-so. I hope the anime will manage to make the story enjoyable enough for me, even though their visuals are inferior to the LN counterpart.

Aiura
Expectation Level : Low
Reason : Not much interested at first, but after the seeing the anime artwork, it suddenly grows on me. The story doesn't seem like a masterpiece but I'll still watch it.

Zettai Boei Leviathan
Expectation Level : Low
Reason : I'm one of the few people who really enjoyed and loved Dragon Crisis!, so no surprise that I'm excited to watch another anime that revolve dragon girls, this time in the form of faeries !

Haiyore! Nyaruko-san W
Expectation Level : Low
Reason : More comedic nonsense with otaku flavor and Hastur please ! Also, need more Nyaruko X Kuuko as well Mahiro's absolute badassery to come out soon !

Will try everything else as long as the fanbase's opinions say good things about them (especially Attack on Titans).

At the moment, 4 stand out for me:
To Aru Kagaku no Railgun S: Sure, the Index series has been guilty of shoddy pacing and gets confusing at times but the characters keep me coming back.
Suisei no Gargantia: Two words. Gen Urobochi. NEXT
Devil Survivor 2: It's Atlus. I've always wanted to play these games but never really had the chance.
Attack on Titan: It reminds me somewhat of God Eater BURST - so sign me up for a few episodes.

And one more seems intriguing enough: Karneval. Yahari and Photo Kano may be others if they seem like they're going somewhere.

Nobody here is interested in almost comedy series Like hataraku maou sama...?

And by the way is anybody is interested in watching nostalgia anime that is doraemon and crayon shin-chan?

Joujuu Senjin!!
Yahari
Red Data Girl

OVAS:
Seitokai Yakuindomo (always!!)
Arcana Famiglia

And I dunno what is "Higurashi no Naku Koro no Kaku" but if I can, I will watch LOL

A little bit better than the Winter season...

Definitely watching:
RDG/Red Data Girl - seems interesting
Kakumeiki Valvralve - original Sunrise anime with Oosaka Ryouta and Kimura Ryouhei - how could I not?
Uta no Prince-sama Maji Love 2000% - You bet.
Yondemasu yo Azazel-san S2 - YES, YES, FINALLY IT'S HERE!!

Will try:
Devil Survivor 2 - I've never heard of the game, and it seems a bit generic, but who knows?
Hataraku Maou-sama - unless it turns out to be one of those dime-a-dozen harem/romcom things.
Shima Kousaku - could be very pretentious, very boring or very good, it's worth a try.
Aku no hana - could be pretentious or actually interesting, we'll see.
Mushibugyou - seems fun!

Will watch for sure:

RDG/Red Date girl - It sounds very interesting and it's by P.A works, so I expect good production values.
Uchuu Senkan Yamato - It's the remake of a classic and I've heard very good things about it.
Devil Survivor 2 - I expect it will be good based on what I know from the game.
Ore no imouto - Watched the first season and it was decent enough in spite of its insufferable main heroine. Will watch for Kuroneko.
Shingeki no Kyojin - has potential to be amazing.
Valvrave - Mecha and Sunrise. I don't need more reasons.
Suisei no Gargantia- Urobuchi and Hanaharu. I don't need more reasons.
Hyakka Ryouran - First season was enjoyable. Also, tits.
Railgun S - Watched the first season.

Will try:

Date a live - Not sure what to expect but the light novels seem to be popular. Not that it means it will be any good.
Yahari - This doesn't sound very interesting but it's Brain's base, so I'll at least check it out.
Hataraku Maou-sama - could be fun
Karneval
Hentai ouji

I'm interested in:
- OreImo S2
- Aku no Hana
- Hentai Ouji
- Yuyushiki
- RDG
- Photo Kano
- Railgun S

Might try:
- Namiuchiguwa
- Yahari
- Kana the Animation
- Aiura

Am sorta interested, because I've seen all other seasons, but am very skeptical, for obvious reasons:
- Hayate S3


OVAs:
- Ika Musume
- Seitokai Yakuindomo
- Tonari no kaibutsu-kun
- Chu2koi
- Seitokai no Ichizon
- Mondaiji-tachi
- Mirai Nikki: Redial
- Ro-Kyu-Bu
- High School DxD

And the Hanasaku Iroha movie, once it hits the Blu-Rays.

Date a live premiers on NIco but it will always be streaming 2 episodes ahead of the regular TV release?

Definite watch: Oreimo Season 2

Interested in:
RDG Girl
Yahari
Dansai Bunri No Crime Edge
Arata Kangatari

Three original mecha anime? This is the best season in years. :heh:

Only two for me at the moment:

Devil Survivor 2 - I'm a fan of Shin Megami Tensei, but funnily enough Devil Survivor is the one sub-series from it I can't play because I hate it's gameplay style, so I'm hoping watching this will be a good alternative to experience it's story.

My Little Sister Can't Be This Cute 2 - Because I watched the first season and I'd like more than one show to watch for 3 months.


I would try watching Attack on Titan too if I hadn't already tried the manga. It seems pretty good, unfortunately it didn't really click with me. :heh:

I really hope each of these mechas will turn out to be actually good (especially Gargantia and Valvrave)
