Spring 2007: Your Expectations and Anticipated Series

[capture]

Since it's almost spring....

Just like the mod said, let's discuss what anime will be anticipating/expecting this coming Spring 2k7...

As of now I'm expecting for Darker than Black.......(may changed as time goes on )

and also Shakugan no Shana the movie......

[piccu]

I'm looking forward to:

//definately watching:
Emma 2
Hayate the Combat butler - funny manga
Bokurano - the manga is a masterpiece
Lucky Star - 4panel + KyoAni = interesting
Saiunkoku Monogatari 2 - great anime
Romeo X Juliet - the trailer looks great

[Sonhex]

There's so many it seems. For me, the following will be unmissable:

Seirei no Moribito
Dennou Coil
Darker Than Black
Gurren Lagann
Kishin Taisen Gigantic Formula
Bokurano

I'll be checking out these too, assuming I can find the time :

Claymore
Sisters of Wellber
RomeoxJuliet
To Terra...
El Cazador
Oh! Edo Rocket
iDOLM@STER Xenoglossia

[Mirrinus]

I've been watching way too many depressing or disturbing anime lately, and really could use a break on all that. I guess I ought to take a look at how KyoAni's doing with Lucky Star then, eh? ^_^

[Shinji103]

Hayate the Combat Butler
Zero no Tsukaima 2
Shakugan no SHana movie

And isn't Nanoha StrykerS coming out in April?

[Zaris]

KyoAni is making something called Lucky Star? I have no idea what that's about but I think I'll watch it simply because KyoAni is producing it. = P With Haruhi and Kanon a large success (at least in my opinion lol), I would imagine they're on a spree of good quality works that might be worth checking out.

Does anyone have a list of the Spring Season anime to come? I followed Utawarerumono in Spring 2006 and Kanon in Winter 2006. Now all of a sudden, I don't have anything I'm dying to watch in Spring 2007. None of the titles seem popular... or people have been very quiet. I was told of a Devil May Cry anime, but I don't believe that's in this upcoming season.

[mintyfresh]

What I'm looking forward to most this spring is probably Idolmaster, strangely enough. I'm certain something else less hyped about might come around and catch my attention, but I'll worry about that later. Right now, however, I'm fine following the shows that are already running.

Check Moonphase. As long as you don't mind navigating around pesky Japanese.

Spring anime list by AndrewLB:
http://fansub.andrewlb.com/pukiwiki.php?Spring%202007


At this point my watch list looks like this:
Nagasarete Airantou
Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS
sola
Lucky☆Star
Kono Aozora ni Yakusoku wo
El Cazador de la Bruja
true tears

Well, Nanoha is definitely must watch, as well as Lucky☆Star (being KyoAni product), El Cazador (girls + guns + Bee-Train = win) and true tears.

And it seems that the second seasons of Higurashi no Naku Koro ni and Zero no Tsukaima are only listed airing 2007, not necessarily this spring.

[kira-sama]

i'm looking forward to:
emma season2
romeoXjuliet

[capture]

maybe there are some anime/s that will bloom just like Haruhi did (I said maybe, not sure though)........

also expecting Lucky Star....they're also Omega Kawaii....

and also just like kensuke said not sure about ZNT and higurashi's 2nd season unless there will be an update......(many will anticipate these 2 if they're will be showned this spring IMO)

[Pellissier]

My greatest expectations are upon:

Bokurano - since I appreciated Narutaru's originality and this seem to possibly develop better.
Lucky☆Star - because it's KyoAni and because there's Sasaki Nozomi.
sola - looking sweet, tender and with a huge seiyuus' cast, just how I like it
Shakugan no Shana the Movie - self explanatory
Romeo x Juliet - I'm curious to see an anime adaption of this classic masterpiece.

[smeg4brainsuk]

Zero no Tsukaima 2
RomeoxJuliet
Nanoha: Striker S
Hellsing Ultimate 3
Devil May Cry
Byousoku 5 Centimeter

[Skyfall]

Higurashi no Naku Koro ni 2 - the thing i am looking towards the most
Lucky☆Star - KyoAni
Shakugan no Shana the Movie
Zero no Tsukaima 2
Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS

... then again - i will probably pick up at least 80% of all the shows that will be airing

[Nightengale]

My face is too near the screen?I have no idea what you're talking about....

Gigantic Formula (( I'm a sucker for mecha, much less MAD Project ))
Koutetsu Shin Jeeg (( BLACK JEEG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ))
Heroic Age (( Fafner + Hirai + Xebec + Tarzan + Guyver + Galaxy ))
Skull Man (( I LUV KAMEN RIDER ))
Saiunkoku Season II (( Season 1 was best anime of 2006 for me, and apparently the best part hasn't even began ))
StrikerS (( Because it's fun. ))
Shining Tears (( It won't be long, and I'm interested to see how they capture the war-ish essence of the game into anime. ))

Highly anticipating, but not fanboying it, and watching with a sense of desire for something worthwhile

Darker Than Black (( BONES + Chinese + Secret Agents? Sounds good ))
Seirei no Moribito (( There's just something unspeakably beautiful about it. Haven't felt that way since Doraemon and Kingdom of Clouds ))
Bokurano (( Narutaru....))
To Terra (( The cast of writers and the feel of galactic searching makes it sound almost like a episodic story of a journey for peace in space ))

I want to be excited, but my Nighterman senses are tingling~

Denno Coil (( I CAN'T GET MY NIGHTY SENSES TO STOP TINGLING!!!! WHY!!? The last time this happened was with Ayakashi Ayashi. ))
Hayate the Combat Butler (( There's just something about the likely studio that's animating that's bothering me.... ))
Sisters of Wellber (( No comment ))
Romeo x Juliet (( I fear the thought of Juliet as Tuxedo Mask fighting Romeo ))
Idolm@ster (( There's just something missing from what I saw....))
El Cazador (( It's BEETRAIN ))

Watching this without expectations, just for the kicks

Claymore
Lucky Star
Devil May Cry

[andromeda0201]

Definitely expecting...
Emma Season 2 - hope for a conclusion to the lovely season 1
Saiunkoku Monogatari Season 2 - same as above
Romeo x Juliet - as mentioned, i would blindly follow anything that Satou Junichi is involved in
Seirei no Moribito - fantasy + Production IG + kickass heroine = winner to me
Darker than Black - again, being a Bones fan...I just follow blindly
Seto no Hanayome - the storyline looks pretty interesting
Lovely Complex - funny and amusing shoujo

I'm highly anticipating this, looks like it would be another busy season!

[Scribble]

Bokurano
Bokurano
Bokurano
Bokurano
Bokurano
Bokurano

I must not become a fanboy. I am not usually one of these people who constantly complain about a certain series not being exactly like the manga, but if GONZO screw up the barebones of Bokurano, I will be pretty sad =(

[Katapan]

I can't seem to get very excited yet, despite so many series starting... maybe it's because of the lack of trailers.

My highly anticipated shows would probably be:
Darker than Black - just for BONES and Yoko Kanno goodness. And a hawt mysterious hero?
To Terra... - out of pure interest in the story, plus I'm curious to see what Minami-machi Bugyousho is capable of doing.
Lovely Complex - I should already be fanboying over this, but I'm a bit annoyed by the fact that Toei is in charge of the animation.

Then I'll also be watching, but not as blindly:
Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann - probably only for the eyecandy and Katsuyuki Konishi if he screams as much as in the trailer.
Kamichama Karin - Satelight + shoujo + Ali Project for the OP sounds like fun.
Hayate the Combat Butler! - now if only the animating studio could be announced quickly. I'll be there for Kugimiya & Tanaka Rie anyway.
Seirei no Moribito - at least one trailer that appeared early enough! and it looked quite fun too.
The Skullman - I'm currently giving Kamen Rider a try, which is apparently somewhat in the same genre if I understood well. And well, BONES.
Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS - assuming I can manage to finish A's before this spring, that is.
Lucky Star - I just don't find 4-koma manga funny/appealing, but I'll have a peek at the animation. We'll see how KyoAni manages in another genre.
iDOLM@STER Xenoglossia - Sunrise never ceases to impress me even when I don't really like the premise, who knows what they'll do next.
Kaze no Stigma - I haven't lost all faith in Gonzo thanks to Red Garden. If this series is supposed to be leaning towards a shonen style, then it might be interesting if they decide to be as original as they were with Black Cat.
Devil May Cry - maybe it'll remind of back when I played the first game.
Bokurano - I haven't seen Narutaru, but it apparently had a rather big impact on a lot of people, and I wouldn't expect less from this. The seiyuu cast is also promising (Junko Minagawa! and Shintaro Asanuma who I haven't heard since ZEGAPAIN ended).

...and whatever else which may turn out to have an awesome OP that would make me interested in the show.

[Mirrinus]

Don't think there's any confirmation yet that Higurashi no Naku Koro ni 2 will be coming out this spring, but I'm dying to see the final answer arcs animated. Could totally redeem the series depending on how well they're done.

[SilverHead]

Wangan Midnight !
Cars cars cars cars cars !

[Js2756]

Kino no Tabi movie.

If it's near the quality of the TV series, I'll be one happy camper.
