[Stark700]

The ones I'm looking forward to Summer the most are:

Akagami no Shirayuki Hime
Aquarion Logos
Charlotte
Dragon Ball Super
Durarara!!×2 Ten
Gangsta
Gate: Jieitai Kanochi nite, Kaku Tatakeri
Kangoku Gakuen
Monster Musume no Iru Nichijou
Ushio to Tora (TV)
Working!!!

Some others that I think might be hit or misses:

God Eater
Rokka no Yuusha
Overlord
Ranpo Kitan: Game of Laplace
Chaos Dragon: Sekiryuu Senyaku

Others I'm not sure.

Also, I wonder if Kangoku Gakuen (Prison School) will debut for Summer. (it has been confirmed though) It's been awhile since we've got any info but we'll see. I'm also really looking forward to that.

[Marcus H.]

It's a rather short list for me.

Durarara x2 Ten
Classroom Crisis
Charlotte
Working S3

And there are currently no prospects for the Light Novel Challenge.

[Honoakari]

Definitely watching:

- To-Love-Ru Darkness Season 2 - might wait for the BD version though.

Not sure if watch:

- Gakkou Gurashi! - still no trailer...
- Overlord - many people praise this series, but the trailer didn't really convince me of its greatness TBH.
- Charlotte - I was pretty hyped for this after seeing the character designs, but got disappointed after watching the trailer. The visuals look kind of... bleak.
- Shimoneta to Iu Gainen ga Sonzai Shinai Taikutsu na Sekai - the world the characters live in sure is depressing... Hopefully the series will have enough comedy to make up for this.

[Kafriel]

Going to watch:
Gangsta
God eater
Nanatsu no taizai: bangai hen

Might as well give dragonball super a shot...

[GreyZone]

Gate - Thus the JSDF fought there
Chaos Dragon
God Eater
Overlord
Kuusen Madoushi Kouhosei no Kyoukan



carryover:

Shokugeki no Souma
Arslan Senki (if I catch up till then)


maybe also Dragon Ball: Super

[kuromitsu]

Hmmm... My list:

Gatchaman Crowds Insight: like I'd miss this one.

Aquarion Logos: see above, although I hope it will be better than what it promises to be, and I'm already dreading the love triangle.

Aoharu x Kikanjuu: this will be either lots of fun, or really meh. From what I've seen of the story, it will mostly depend on the main male character, if I can tolerate him I'll probably enjoy the show.

Gangsta: Suwabe Junichi playing an actual gigolo, how could I pass? and, uh, everything else. (I'm still trying to find out where I'd seen the mangaka's art before.)

Kangoku Gakuen: again, this will be either hilarious or meh. We'll see.

Makura danshi: why not? I'm sure it will be a seiyuu paradise...

[Top Sergeant]

Gate - Thus the JSDF Fought There is the one that I am most looking forward to watching.

[Chichiryuushintei]

Akagami no Shirayuki-hime: Sounds like the kind of Shoujo I hate, but 3 episodes shouldn't hurt. I hope.

Chaos Dragon: There're dragons in it so it should be cool.

Dragon Bal Super: Gonna check it out for nostalgia sake, but I'm feeling it'll be meh.

Fate/Kaleid... Herz: I hope there's less lesbian-loli fanservice than Season 2.

Gakkou Gurashi: Sounds really interesting.

Gangsta: Same as above.

Gate: Same.

God Eater: The game story is okay-ish, I just hope the MC isn't made too bland since it's a customizable character.

Himouto: Dat hilarious brother-sister relationship.

Jokumachi no Dandelion: Sounds really interesting.

Monster Musume: Mero. <3

Overlord: Sounds interesting.

Ranpo Kitan: Smae as above.

Rokka no Yuusha: Aztec-motif is something really rare to see in anime, definitely hyped about it.

Ushio to Tora: An old shounen manga adaptation huh? It will be fun at least.

[Iron Maw]

Watching:
Rokka no Yusha
Durarara!!×2 Ten
Aquarion Logos (Might as well despite knowing better...)
Gate
Kangoku Gakuen
Chaos Dragon

Maybe:
Overlord
Gangtsa
Shimoneta to Iu Gainen ga Sonzai Shinai Taikutsu na Sekai

Carryovers:
Arslan Senki
Shokugeki no Soma

EDIT: Forgot to add Chaos Dragon.

[IceHism]

High Expectations
Chaos Dragon: Sekiryuu Senyaku: Thank god for LN and VN writers playing dungeons and dragons. Also nasu, urobuchi, and narita self-inserts. always worth

Charlotte: The Maeda Jun and key is back. Hopefully this is actually good like Rewrite and not meh like angel beats.

Classroom ☆ Crisis: Maruto original anime. from the writer of White Album 2, parfait, damekoi, and Saenai Heroine, how can i not be excited? I'm expecting this show to be the best of the season. I can't wait for the delicious drama (if this is a drama).

Gate: Jieitai Kanochi nite, Kaku Tatakeri: One of the better isekai stories. Also, JSDF vs dragons. Thank you.

Ranpo Kitan: Game of Laplace: Horror? I like that. I think the 3rd last j-drama i saw about 2 years ago was about locked room mysteries. Great show that was so i hope this is good as well

Rokka no Yuusha: Great LN. I pray to god the adaption is okay and that the art is good.

Will Watch
Akagami no Shirayuki Hime: Hayamin is literally #1,

Gakkou Gurashi!: I'm expecting schizophrenia


3 Episode Rule
God Eater: ehhhhhh, it's a game but the action looks pretty decent. Hopefully ufotable does a charming job.

Jitsu wa watashi wa: idrk. I just see that a lot of people read it so i'll try.

Gangsta. : Apparently this is the hipster show of the season. I love watching hipster shows because if it's bad, then i can shit on it in front of the so called "elitists" and if it's good then I get a nice show to watch

Kuusen Madoushi Kouhosei no Kyoukan: Looks like a trashy 1 cour infomertial with minimum budget. Will suffer through.

Kangoku Gakuen: The manga sells pretty well so i will try.

Monster Musume no Iru Nichijou: idk why i'm watching this. Maybe it's like JWWW

OverLord: Another narou WN. Not sure what to expect here. will suffer through.

To Love-Ru: Trouble - Darkness 2nd: idk

Shimoneta to Iu Gainen ga Sonzai Shinai Taikutsu na Sekai: This is a GAGAGA bunko ln. GAGAGA bunko lns are usually good since they target an older demographic compared to a more mainstream label like Dengeki or Kadokawa so this is worth a try in my book.

If I finish the prequel before it airs
Gatchaman crowds S2: looks pretty cool, will try to catch up

Senki Zesshou Symphogear: It's symphogear. Seiyuu trap + tokusatsu fighting


looks like a meh season

[mistress_kisara]

Mine:
> Akagami no Shirayukihime
> Durarara x2 Ten
> Aoharu x Kikanjuu
> Joukamachi no Dandelion
> Gangsta
> Game of Laplace
> God Eater

Unsure:
> Charlotte
> Overlord

Leftovers:
> Arslan Senki
> Shokugeki no Souma
> Ore Monogatari
> Kyokai no Rinne

[MisaoFan]

I'll watch most of the summer lineup together with the carryovers from this season.

I have very high hopes for Venus Project and Symphogear GX since, ironically, they are animated embodiments of sci-fi idol craziness in the making. I'm particularly interested in the former however, Galat being the creator of Magica Wars's console game adaptations made my blood bump hotter than potato.

I'm also having rather interesting expectations on Game of Laplace and Classroom Crisis given the fact I am hardcore on anime original creations. And Daily Lives of Monster Girls could end up being a decent display of well you know, what is said on the title.

Let's see what the rest will end up.

[Dr. Casey]

The idolm@ster: Cinderella Girls (The first season didn't win me over as instantly as the 2011 anime did, but I became rather fond of it over time and it ended up being one of my favorites for Winter 2015)
Charlotte
Working Season 3
Non Non Biyori Repeat (A soothing and calming show. I appreciate how it paints an idyllic portrait of country life without ever crossing the line into Luddite, anti-technology sentiments.)
Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya 2wei Herz (Three summers in a row. Here's to hoping for a two-part 3rei come Summer 2016 and Summer 2017.)
Gakkou Gurashi (Yes please, this show has an awesome premise. I'm really looking forward to it.)
Dragon Ball Super (The first anime I was ever majorly into; I was a big Dragon Ball fan as a teenager and watched most of Dragon Ball/Dragon Ball Z subbed during 2008-2009, though I haven't watched any of the specials or movies that have come out in recent years. It would be nice if this ended up being at least GT-length.)

A very strong showing for OVAs, also. Nyaruko-san, Amagi Brilliant Park, Sword Art Offline II, Saki Biyori, Angel Beats, with the highlight being an extra Selector spread WIXOSS episode. I was certain the franchise was completely over with, though I hope it's something meaningful and not a generic hot springs episode or whatever.

Movie-wise there's Love Live, Date A Live, and the second Tamayura movie, which actually might be available around September or October given how quickly the original was subbed. Tamayura instantly makes any anime season a good one.

Strong season on the whole.

[GDiddy]

Defnitely no matter what, unless they disappoint me:

Durarara Ten
Shirayuki hime.
Gangsta
Working
Non Non Biyori Repeat



Maybe if one of the above turns out to suck:

Aoharu x Kikanju

Continuing!

Bikini Warriors because it promises, "sword and magic!" Summer season anime are so gangsta when it comes to fanservice. Speaking of Gangsta, I might check that one too and Charlotte and Non-Non Biyori Repeat or any other anime that promises to disguise fanservice under the pretense of a story of "sword and magic."

I love summer!

Must-watch:
Durarara
Chaos Dragon
Working!!!
Kuusen Madoushi

Second teir, but still probably going to watch
Jitsu Wa

Some of the movies are looking good too- we have the one by Hosoda, and Sinbad, if done right should be good. I also will need to watch DAL before I see the movie
