Hopefully, with the anime out, we'll get translators to work on it and help EusthEnoptEron out. And Kami-sama as well

Watched Last Exile the last time. The ending was a little disappointing, but I want to give it another shot, so this is a must watch for me.

HnG movie and Higurashi, must get.

Why you don't watch Baka Test 2 ? Because you have didn't much time because of school period ?

I know it's ironic of me to say that I won't watch Baka Test, but actually, that's of a completely different reason...if I have to put it, it's because I don't want to end up comparing with the novels again.

And school? What school? I'm in the Army.

For this summer I think I’ll follow:
Appleseed XIII
Natsume’s Book of Friends III
Blood C
Usagi Drop
No. 6
Ikoku Meiro no Croisee
Dantalian no Shoka
Sacred Seven
Kami-sama no Memo-Chou
Mawaru Penguin Drum


Maybe pile:
Mayo Chiki
The Idolmaster
Itsuka Tenma no Kuro-Usagi
Kamisama Dolls

OVA/Special/Films:
Kore wa Zombie desu ka?
Ao no Exorcist
Appleseed XIII
Hakuouki
CARNIVAL PHANTASM!!!!!!

[HasuMasu]

Hayate no Gotoku Season 3

my body is ready for some A-tan

[Kakkou]

The lineup this time doesn't feel as delicious as the previous but there's quite a number of very interesting sounding shows. Two Brains Base shows in one season makes the summer awesome by default. Based on the list as of now...

Hell yes, definitely watching:

Natsume Yuujinchou San
BakaTest 2
No.6
Nuramago 2
Kamisama Dolls

Definitely checking out:

Blood-C
Usagi Drop
ItsuTen
Dantalian no Shoka
Kamisama no Memochou
Sacred Seven
Ikoku Meiro no Croisee

Yay, OVA~ Side:

Higurashi Kira
Carnival Phantasm
Kore wa Zombie Desuka?
Katte ni Kaizou
Air Gear

[FakeFactFelis]

[Ascaloth]

Poor, poor season, but given I'm following a couple of series which will continue into this season, I'll be fine I guess.

Following:

Usagi Drop (has the promise of a very good drama)

Might give a whirl:

Kamisama no Memo-chou (the bastard daughter of L and Komori Kiri solving crimes? Snerk! Definitely giving this a go)

Yuri Yuri (well, if I could sit through K-ON!...)

[Arabesque]

I find the lack of penguins in this thread quite disturbing ...

What I'm definitely following:

Mawaru Penguin Drum (Ikuhara's new show, not to mention that the way they are advertising it makes me want to just figure what the hell it is anyway )

Blood-C (This will be interesting to see how it turns out)

Blade (because you just can't have enough people going after vampires)

Usagi Drop (the concept itself sounds good)

Natsume Yuujinchou San (already watched the first two seasons so this already a pass)

What I'll most likely follow for the first few episodes

Sacred Seven

No.6 (It's Bones, I think ...)

Idolmaster (Hey, might as well since Berserk is going on hiatus)

Kamisama Dolls (only because Brain's Base name is attached, other wise I have no interest in this)

That's not this season though ...

[Bonta Kun]

So still no word on Mini-Skirt Space Pirates showing this summer?

[Guardian Enzo]

Added my summer preview to the pile, if anyone's interested...

[Tiberium Wolf]

Strongest spring in the recent years and now we have a weak season again.

[Suzuku]

Funny, people were saying how weak the spring season looked until it started, and Summer has three new potential big titles to toss around as well as Natsume's third season.

If you go back and check the other previous seasons, there will always be a large number of people saying the same thing

There are always mixed opinions, and a lot of people, myself included, sometimes get a little too pessimistic about the upcoming seasons. But with that being said, I think the outlook for spring was generally pretty good among most of us.

Not really reading much manga (and no light novels), and never playing new games, I per usual, know very little about most of the upcoming series.

I'm looking forward to the third installment of Natsume Yuujinchou. I can't imagine not enjoying this one. The second rounds of both Baka-Test and Nurarihyon are also welcome additions, especially the latter.

A lot of other shows look like they might be fun, but there's nothing that really stands out to me as a slam-dunk hit yet. But that's bound to change once the season actually rolls around. Color me cautiously optimistic.

[Marcus H.]

We have to consider the fact that sleeper hits are so-called because their strength appears late into the season.

We might have a handful of sleeper hits on Summer, but we can only guess since not one of these series have even debuted.

[iceyfw]

usagi drop is the only one which grabs my attention. rest are iffy at best to me. it's most likely because i've gotten tired of using x high school kids and x high school setting used. the story and subplots would have to really grab my attention nowadays if any of these two elements were used together.

and when i saw idolmaster there, the first thing that came to my mind was "INC HIATUS until it is over for berserk" /sarcasm (OR AM I?!).

[BakaOnna]

Wow, I didn't realize how many Brain's Base series there are this season. Not a bad thing though since they're currently one of my favorite animation studios.

Definites:
Natsume Yujinchou San - love love love this series; yes more supernatural slice-of-life please!
No.6 - premise sounds interesting and noitaminA
Usagi Drop - noitaminA
Kamisama Dolls - Read the scanslated chapters and it's pretty interesting. Also, Brain's Base.

Will wait for comments and feedback:
Sacred Seven
Blood-C
Kamisama no Memo-chou

There's also a few carry overs from Spring season so I don't want to pick up too many series.

[FormerAbyssalone]

Wha happend to My BERSERK movie???????

There's 3 Brain Base series scheduled for this summer. It consists of :
Natsume Yuujinchou San
Kamisama Dolls
Mawaru Penguin Drum (featuring character design by Lily Hoshino)

[ninja_pintu]

Well, as usual I am going to try to check out most series
But the ones I am sure to watch are:
Itsuka tenma no kuro usagi - I really liked Denyuden, and I think if Zexcs don't mess this one up(yeah right), it's going to be a really good series
Baka to test- Loved the first season, the ova's weren't so good though
Kamisama Dolls- Liked the concept
Sacred seven- Sunrise and after star driver, I have a good feeling about this kind of series
NuraMago- Liked the first season, so I guess I am going to follow the second one

And the ones I am definitely going to check out(and probably gonna watch) are:
Mayo Chiki
Blood C
Usagi Drop
NO.6
Ikoku Meiro....
Dantalion no Shoka
Kami-Sama no Memo-chu

As for the rest, I going to wait for the reaction of people after first episode airs before deciding whether to check 'em or not.
