Anime Spring 2012 Preview

[Grand Octopus]

Holy crap that's a lot of shows. Not a bad season overall, with points of interest being:

Tasogare Otome x Amnesia - Ghost moe.
Nazo no Kanojo X Mysterious Girlfriend X - Scissors moe.
Sankarea - Zombie moe.
Accel World - Black Snow moe.
Hyouka - KyoMoe.

CUT OFF POINT FOR THE GOOD STUFF

Sengoku Collection - hhnnnggzawa / Mamiko moe.
Zetman -  No moe hhnnnggzawa moe.
Eureka 7 AO - IFO moe.
Medaka Box - Twin moe mounds.

Lots of maybes, including Uchuu Kyoudai, Jormungand, Acchi Kocchi, Haiyore! Nyaruko-san and Natsuiro no Kiseki. Phi Brain 2 / Kore wa Zombie 2 if the prequels are any good. Only skimmed the bottom bit but I saw an unaired Mirai Nikki ep which is cool.

Upotte!! getting an anime could actually be a legitimate contender for the worst thing ever.

WTF is Thomas the Tank Engine doing there?

[MatsuriSakuragi]

>new Eureka Seven :* :* :* :*
>Strike Witches movie  :* :* :* :*

I'm sorry, were there other things on that list? I didn't even notice

[Tengukami]

Upotte!! getting an anime could actually be a legitimate contender for the worst thing ever.

Really? The concept sounds hilarious. I want to see assault rifles anthropomorphized as high school girls!

Only skimmed the bottom bit but I saw an unaired Mirai Nikki ep which is cool.

Unless it's one of those cute lil' eps they like to tack onto the last five minutes of most Mirai Nikki eps.


Personally, I'm really looking forward to Sankarea and ... yeah, think that's about the only one I've decided I must watch. Hiiro no Kakera and Shining Hearts look pretty cool, though.  This current season I hated the line up, and ended up following seven series, so who knows?

[Kasu]

Probably gonna watch Upotte!!, Jormungand, Kore wa Zombie 2, Acchi Kocchi, Sankarea, Medaka Box, Nazo no Kanojo X, Accel World, Yamato and Strike Witches.

Might watch Nyaruko, but that's up in the air.

Also, wasn't Yamato supposed to be a TV series instead of a movie?

[Alfred F. Jones]

Whoa, Nadia is getting remastered? Niiiiice.

Fate/Zero part two; that should please some people. For my part I still need to watch part one :<

YESSSSSSSSSS Strike Witches movie. :*

I'm sorry, were there other things on that list? I didn't even notice

Yes, you missed the Kobato and Rurouni Kenshin OAVs. Repent, heathen scum.

[Jana]

I don't think I care about any of the series for next season. Maybe I'll just watch old things instead, if anything at all.

[Grand Octopus]

Really? The concept sounds hilarious. I want to see assault rifles anthropomorphized as high school girls!

Yeah, I thought so too. Then I read the manga and recoiled in horror as my hopes were shot to pieces.

^ I'd rather read that pun 50 times over than pick up the manga again. I'm exaggerating but it was still pretty terrible.

[HakureiSM]

Really? The concept sounds hilarious. I want to see assault rifles anthropomorphized as high school girls!

I thought the same thing. It's like Stuffman had a thing for guns

Yeah, I thought so too. Then I read the manga and recoiled in horror as my hopes were shot to pieces.

Hm. But hey, who knows, it's possible the final result isn't horrible

[Drake]

Ozuma: Possibly worth looking into.

Saint Seiya: and i raaannnn i ran so far awayyyyy

Shiba Inuko-san: this looks so fucking stupid i almost want to watch it

Nadia: Nice that it gets a remaster, not going to watch though.

Eureka Seven AO: obviously

Acchi Kocchi: is that suwako

Sankarea: I probably won't watch it, but it probably has the capacity to be good, so I keep my eye on it.

Medaka Box: Oh hey it's that manga A-F was recommending a while ago I bet he'll be happ- holy shit done by Gainax

Shirokuma Cafe: lolwat

[Edible]

Saint Seiya Omega: f yes
Upotte: Manga is pretty funny/cute so sure
Fate/Zer 2: f yes
Acchi Kocchi: f maybe
Sankarea: ... I don't know what this is but zombie girls are okay
Nyarlko-san: f yes more nyarlko-san
Mysterious Girl X: F YES IT GOT AN ANIME
Saki side-A: obviously f yes

[Zakenna]

spring looks to be pretty awesome

Upotte: yes!
tasogare otome X Amnesia: I really enjoyed the manga so I'm definitely looking forward to this
Fate/Zero pt 2: yeah part 1 was good so why shouldn't part 2
Sankarea: Manga was alright mainly got into it because of Tasogare otome x Amnesia because people kept saying they were similar
sakamaichi no apollon: yea sure why not
Saki Spin off: hells yes, Moe Mahjong?! count me in!

also looking forward to the Pretty Cure All Stars New Stage movie when ever that comes out of blu ray I'll probably pick it up

[Widermelonz]

Upotte: I liked the manga
Nyaruko: yesss
Saki: fuck yea
Fate/Zero: part 2, so obviously.
Kore wa Zombie: 1st season was fun.
Tasogare Otome x Amnesia: seems cool
Medaka Box: for fun

Going to check out the first 3 episodes of the other ones to see how they are.

Also, Strick Witches movie  :*

[pineyappled]

Looking forward so hard to Hyouka because Kyoani. Where is my K-ON!!! Season 3 starring Mugi and Sumire?
Upotte! seems fun.

Might watch AKB0048 for kicks.

[Tengukami]

Where is my K-ON!!! Season 3 starring Mugi and Sumire?

They ran out of types of cakes to show them eating.

[HakureiSM]

On that note, still waiting on Railgun II and Haganai 2.

[Tamer Anode/Cathode]

Really looking forward to Eureka 7 AO, might give Medaka Box a shot depending on my free time. Probably will give Train Hero a cursory glance because it sounds like it's going to turn into a glorious mess from what I know of Pat Lee's previous work.

...also, Beyblade's still a thing ? Really?

[Fetch()tirade]

WHERE THE FUCK IS MY HAYATE

I'll watch Sankarea and Tasogare to see how well they do the adaptation, I enjoyed both of their respective mangas.
Upotte, what the fuck am i looking at
I'll watch Zombie Desk Car, if only for the name.
I'll definitely watch Eureka 7 AO.
The others I might give a shot, see what happens.

...also, Beyblade's still a thing ? Really?

There's a Beyblade tournament happening at my college on Saturday.

[Power]

Still waiting for my seitokai no ichizon and also my railgun season 2.   On that note yay fate zero season 2.  Never knew about it but all I know is that it has sweet delicious animation and fight scenes.    

[Amraphenson]

Double undead girlfriends go!

[♛ Apher-Forte]

Hyouka is the seasonal k-on I think

[pineyappled]

I need more cake and takuan eyebrows.

[n i c o l e]

Shiba Inuko-san: this looks so fucking stupid i almost want to watch it

normally I love watching dumb shit like this but I.. not this time I don't think.

will probably only pick up Hyouka bc kyoani. I still have a backlog of stuff to finish ):

[Mr_Bob]

Interesting that Nadia is getting a remaster.  That basketball show is based on some decent shonen.  Thomas in Japan has a rather disturbing face... now I can't stop laughing.  Eureka sequel? Oh right, the manga was shorter than the anime.  Tasogare is based on a good read.  Iffy on Sankrea, but probably won't be bad.  What the Cthulhu?! Medaka decent shonen plus the Gainax effect.  Train Hero could possibly be amazing.  Zetman is pretty badass.  Accel, based on a neat read, the protag being hefty is fairly unusual.  Mysterious X, will be interested on how it's done.  Side-Saki gives reason to look at original.  What is Kobato about again?  It sounds familiar...

[Prody]

Shiba Inuko-san already has a headstart in popularity due to narrating the advertisements on Nico channel.

Also really curious about Thomas.

Lastly, really, really looking forward to Saki 2. More Mahjong! Zawa... zawa...
