Spring 2012 : Your Expectations and Anticipated Series
The Spring 2012 preview is out for a week now, and since there's no thread for it yet, I thought I'd create one :D
Update 4 April 2012: Updated v2 overview of spring series is now avaiable: http://i.minus.com/i70RqqpyS5WHh.jpg My first evaluation so far: http://www.abload.de/thumb/anime-201...ring-ydx8n.jpg Explanation: くそ: utter crap 寒い: lame 分かんない: don't know yet 良い: looks good so far I won't bother listing the くそ and 寒い series. 分かんない Sengoku Collection Eureka Seven AO Tasogare Otome x Amnesia Hyouka Sankarea Natsuiro no Kiseki Haiyore! Nyaruko-san Nazo no Kanojo X Saki: Achiga-hen Koi-ken 良い Upotte!! Kore wa Zombie desu ka? of the dead Shining Hearts ~Shiawase no Pan~ Medaka Box Accel World |
Lots of good stuff coming our way, but Tasogare is the one I'm anticipating the most.
|
I'll just go with a more classic format for this. :heh:
Guaranteed to watch: Ozuma, Uchuu Kyodai, Sakamichi no Apollon, Fate/Zero 2, Jormungand May watch: Accel World, Saint Seiya Omega, Eureka Seven AO, Zetman |
Wow looks to be a good season. Only scanned the list but have so many must watches:
Uchuu Kyoudai, Tasogare Otome Amnesia, Fate Zero 2, Sankarea, Mysterious Girlfriend X, Accel World. |
damn it, none of the shows I'm interested in watching except Upotte and Kuroko no Basuke have air dates confirmed yet
And whoa, the amount of series Kaioshin has some interest in almost reaches the double digits. This must be the best anime season of all time or something. |

Almost guaranteed to watch:
Natsuiro Kiseki Original Sunrise anime. Slice of life. Girls are super cute. Great uniform. Potentially immersive drama. Tsuritama Nakamura Kenji. I'm liking the art style and aesthetic. Pretty boys. Sakamichi no Apollon Directed by Shinichirou freaking Watanabe. Takes place in 1960's Japan, and after watching Brigadoon I realized that I'm starting to like historical settings. Hyouka Potentially intriguing mystery. Kyoani guarantees eye-dazzling animation at the very least. Also, the long black-haired girl is a total cutie. Fate/Zero Only when the BDs for the whole show come out. Might watch: Medaka Box Because people won't shut up about it. And the manga is apparently going to end, so that leaves an opportunity for a good adaptation. Kore wa Zombie Desu ka? OF THE DEAD Oh wow. What a cheesy title. This can go anywhere, really, considering how crazy the show is. I hope it takes after the good first six episodes of the first season rather than the disappointing second half. AKB0048 I have no idea what drugs the creators were taking when making this. It could prove to be solid entertainment though, considering how we have Kawamori behind it along with what looks to be a monstrous production. Oh no, it's an ongoing manga adaptation! These shows have garnered some of my interest, but I'm not likely to watch them because anime adapted from ongoing manga end with original or unsatisfying endings way too often: Uchuu Kyoudai Tasogare Otome x Amnesia Jormungand Zetman No, not watching: Sengoku Collection You want us to produce another historical anime? ALL RIGHT, MORE SENGOKU BISHOUNEN/BISHOUJO, BECUASE WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH!! Upotte Only thing this seems to have going for it is the gun porn. Oh wait, they're not guns anymore. Shining Hearts Because Tony Taka's art style makes me want to puke. If they butcher it to hell, it might grab my interest more though. The rest: Everything else I just don't feel like commenting on and I probably won't see unless a lot of people go bananas over them. |
It's about time, I was wondering when this thread would show up :heh: Though judging from the list, with the exception of the sequels of shows that I've seen, most if not all the new shows are under the 'Give it a chance' because of the response to it rather than 'Definitely will watch'... Hell even some sequels feel dodgy like Zombie...
Eureka Seven AO - Bones Tasogare Otome x Amnesia - Silver Link Hyouka - KyoAni Fate/Zero 2 - Ufotable Zombie of the dead - Deen Jormungand - White Fox Shining Hearts - I.G Sankarea - Deen Accel World - Sunrise In Summer 2011, I've started with 11 shows but ended with 6 (and only 3 that I like) In Fall 2011, I've started with 10 shows but ended with 7 (enjoyed all of them though) In Winter 2012, I've started with 9 shows but now I'm down to 6. (Still in love with 5) I wonder how many would survive the purge this time? |
there's so many awesome sequel anime that released this spring, i personally waiting for :
Kore wa zombie desu ka? OF THE DEAD Sankarea Seitokai no Ichizon 2nd season Hayate the combat butler 3rd season |
On paper, looks like potentially the strongest season in a couple of years. Of course, that and $1.75 will get you a tall drip at Starbucks.

Spring's looking pretty good.
Guaranteed/Anticipated: Tasogare Otome x Amnesia Fate/Zero 2 Kore wa Zombie Desuka? OF THE DEAD Medaka Box Kimi to Boku. 2 Sakamichi no Apollon Tsuritama Accel World Will certainly try: Kuroko no Basuke Uchuu Kyoudai Eureka Seven AO Hyou-ka Jormungand Acchi Kocchi Sankarea Nazo no Kanojo X Shirokuma Cafe Errr, will try if I feel like it: Ozuma Shining Hearts ~Shiawase no Pan~ (This would have been a will try if it didn't have the Pan tagline) Natsuiro no Kiseki Haiyore! Nyaruko-san Hiiro no Kakera Phi Brain 2's fate depends on whether I finish the first season on time and feel like going for more. Out of everything listed I'd say Accel World, Tsuritama and Sakamichi no Apollon are the ones I'm banking on the most. Shirokuma Cafe added to my list because of Takahiro Sakurai as a polar bear, FukuJun as a panda and Kamiyan as a penguin. |
guaranteed to watch :
Saint Seiya Omega! Fate/Zero 2 Accel World Hyou-Ka Eureka Seven ao Hiiro no Kakera.. :heh: will try when I have time : Shining Hearts Queen's Blade Rebellion AKB0048 looks like there's a lot of good titles for me, plus SRW Saisei-Hen, april Y U NO COME FASTER?? :mad: :heh: |

Almost guaranteed/Most anticipated
Uchuu Kyodai The manga is epic in all possible ways, so this is officialy my most anticipated series. Sakamichi no Apollon No need for explanations here, this is gonna be awesome (I like Uchuu Kyodai's manga better though). Eureka Seven AO The original is one of my favorite animes of all time, so I'm really hopeful with this. Kore wa Zombie Desu ka? OF THE DEAD Seriously, unlike many people, I absolutely loved the first series, I hope this one is just as good as it. Nazo no Kanojo X Hope the adaptation lives up to the awesome manga. Kuroko no Basket I love the unrealistic nature of the manga and there is a lot of material to cover. Accel World Just read the manga, it's awesome, despite the generic boy meets girls premise. Might watch Tasogare OtomexAmnesia I've been keeping myself from reading the manga(which I hear a lot of good things about) so this is an potential hit for me. I just won't put on guaranteed because I never read the original material. Hyouka Kyo-ni, huh. Oh well, I don't think this will be an good mistery at all, but it won't hurt to give this a try. It might turn out to be good. Jormugand This reminds of Black Lagoon, enough said. Sankarea Honestly, I didn't like the manga as much and I don't see how they are going to adapt this with just a few chapters from the ongoing manga, but the anime might be change it for me, who knows. Medaka Box I hated the manga, but I only read 10 or so chapters. I hope the anime changes that for me. Tsuritama WTF is this? Confusing enough to intrigue me. Overall this season is extremely promising, if all animes I pointed turn out to be good, I'm screwed. |

No one wants to watch the digital remastering of Nadia?
Lots of stuff for me this season: Mysterious Girlfriend X - Guilty pleasure manga for me even if the pace of the manga is really freaking slow. Also, Urabe is <3 Fate/Zero S2 - This is how F/SN should have been done, by ufotable. Tsuritama - Two awesome VAs, potentially awesome premise (fishing to save the world?), count me in. Sakamichi no Apollon - The pair who brought Cowboy Bebop to life working together again. I expect an excellent presentation and an awesome soundtrack. This is my bet for the season. Natsuiro no Kiseki - It looks pretty and has Toyosaki and Tomatsu in it. Good enough for me. Hyouka - It's a Kyoto Animation production, and one rather different from their usual fare. Let's see how they do. Uchuu Kyoudai - Been planning to take a look at the manga for a while , and I'll probably start with this before I pick it up. Looking like a very good season, thank God I have a lot more free time when April starts. |
Definitely watching:
Saki: Achiga-hen Fate/Zero Acchi Kocchi! Kore wa Zombie desu ka II Just like in the previous season, there are only a few shows that are actually worth watching. Might pick up something else if the reviews are good, but overall this is quite an underwhelming season. |
not really expecting much this season, a continuation, a couple of shows that migth turn good, and the "hope" kyoani get back to its older glory.
|
Hmmm... The only thing I'm looking forward to is Eureka Seven AO since I liked the first season. Thus, it goes without saying that I'll definitely be watching that one.
Extra series that I will probably pick up: Sankarea - the manga was alright. Lost interest, but I wonder if the anime will give me the spark I need. Kore wa Zombie desu ka? OF THE DEAD - Main protagonist amuses me for some reason. Tasogare OtomexAmnesia - ... That's all I guess. |
