Anime Spring 2013

[Bells]

A bit late, but here we go again!! All right, buckle up, cause it's Spring time in the anime world... what are we going o watch this blooming season?

From March, April and May of 2013 here they are!

--> Get it here, it's too big to post! ----> http://i4.minus.com/iboffq8nHImsOg.jpg

Freaking huge Picture "OMG what the hell is this" Chart size.

Ok, so... what gets my eye...

Gundam Seed Destiny Remaster ... well, i still don't give 2 shits about seed, so that doesn't phase me at all. What else ya got?

Chibi Hokuto No Ken? ...oh my. This is going to be one of those lists... isn't?

...Japanese Dub of My Little pony. Yes... yes it is going to be one of those.

Let's see... a show about a K-Pop group of girls, CGI cartoon about transforming fighting trains (this is some Thomas the Engine extreme shit! T'fuck!?)

Danbouru Senki still trying to be the next Pokemon... alright...

Hum... Devil Survivor 2. Any persona connections here?

Ok so... Samurai Girl sequel,a couple of Romance, a Comedy about a mermaid girl, a couple of Harem shows...

.....Robocar poli CGI cartoon................ ok...

Dragonball Z and Toriko Crossover... ok then... might be kinda fun to watch

YES! here we go... Shingeki no Kyojin seems a bit more promissing!

Haiyore Nyaruko-San W ... huh, what's this?

Haiyore! Nyaruko-san (????! ?????? lit. Crawling Up! Nyarlko-san?) is a Japanese light novel series written by Manta Aisora and illustrated by Koin. It was inspired by H. P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu mythos.

.....WHAT!?

...ok ok moving on......

Oh hey! new Yamato series... cool!

What is this Aiura? Seems like Highschool slice-of-life show...

The story centers around Amaya, Iwasawa, and Uehara — three "annoying, spirited high school girls with zero motivation" — and their classmates. Their daily life is "what happens when there is nothing happening."

Oh hey check it out... Seinfeld anime!

Kakumeiki Valvrave... a silly named show from the team that brough us Gundam, Now doing Super Robot stuff... ok i'll bite...

And hey, check it out... also a new Iron Man anime! Maybe tie in to the movie?

Aside from that, we have the Dragonball Z vs the Egyptian gods movie (c'mon... it really is that). Aside from that nothing super major for me in this season... some stuff is extra weird this time around though!

So, c'mon... take your pick! Anybody adopting any new shows this season?

Right now i'm just following Saint Seiya Omega (it's getting better....) might pick up one or two more...

Didya know Omega is going to continue for another year? It's true!

As for the chart, there's so much more on it than when I last saw it that I'm going to need some time to look it over again. Gotta sleep first, though. At first glance, I'll say that my impressions of the spring season seem very different from yours. For instance, I'm totally watching the Fist of the North Star comedy. Not sure how it can top the ridiculousness of the actual show, and I want to find out.

After dropping 75% off all the new silly stuff they brought into the Mythos in the first 40 episodes, now they are focusing on never ending despair and misery that is going on right now until episode 50, where the saga of Eden the most unlucky "holy shit! Give me a break life!" guy ever will conclude and then resume with new slightly less silly Armor designs! Next season they will pcik another planet to completely misrepresent in size and gravitational effects of it hovering earth!!

I'm totally ok with that!

As for hokuto no ken chibi, i'm imagining that's because that Chibi naruto spinoff worked out well enough?

There's already one OVA out recently, another comes out this summer, and that thing on the chart is a movie.

The OVA is alright. It's not as funny as the best parts of the comic, but it's a lot of fun to see Jesus and Buddah do stuff for twenty minutes. Plus the character art has this nice inky look like the comic. Check it out.

Ok, I got this listed out.

Stuff I'm already invested in:
Garupan: Read through a thread this morning that watched a stream of episode 11. Sounds like it's more TANKS than ever, which is great.
Gakkatsu: Still haven't finished watching last year's episodes, but I'll surely get around to this year's.
Hayate: If it weren't Hayate, the premise of "each girl gets an episode" would instantly repel me, but it is Hayate, so I have high hopes.
Railgun: It's supposed to cover the Sisters arc, which should have been covered in the first series, so I gotta watch it if I want to see what I watched the first part for. Plus I like the setting, and less Touma is much-improved Touma.

Looks Interesting:
RDG: Another "actual book" series. If the art is passable (I haven't watched the preview episode), I expect something unique at least.
Kyojin: Manga looks interesting from what I've seen, and I haven't watched a violent cartoon in a while, so I gotta to keep those "quiet loner = watches violent vidoes" correlations going. I owe it to sociology.
Mushibugyou: Silly fighting and Edo period. I'll at least watch an episode to see if it's not too terribly stupid.
Gargantia: Urobuchi might have written a story about being lost in the world where everyone survives. Or maybe I've just taken his bait.
Shima Kousaku: Maybe I like to watch cartoons about grown-ups sometimes?
Hataraku Maou: Maybe I like to watch ridiculous nonsense?

I'm attracted to bright colors like a small child/ridiculous nonsense:
Silly no Ken: It's Ken, but intentionally silly. If nothing else, I watched that whole series, so I'm watching this. Maybe this should have gone into the "already invested" section?
Muromi-san: Preview looked silly, it's not-Touma abusing mermaids. Plus the last fishing anime I watched worked out, so why not?
Leviathan: Gonzo weirdness and over-wrought plots, plus dragon people. I'll probably watch until someone's shirt explodes or some other awful "fanservice" turns me off.
Lucky Star Miyakawa-ke: I'm attracted to bright colors like a small child. Kinda weird that Kyoani isn't doing it, but then it's kinda weird that Kyoani has had a cartoon running every season for a year at this point. The comic is owned by Kadokawa, though... Maybe I'll look into it. Still, pretty colors.

No subs:
Kuro Majo-san ga Tooru 2
Drilland 2
Blood-type-kun
Nanafa 2
probably Garupan, HnK, and Kousaku.

And that's what I think of the Spring season, with as little said about the content of the shows as possible.

[Ryong]

Definitely going to watch the new Railgun season.
Going to watch Shingeki no Kyojin and Uchuu Senkan Yamato 1999 I guess maybe I don't know.

[Kyanbu The Legend]

Right now I'm more interested in the new DBZ stuff. Mainly the movie. Other then that there's really nothing on this list that interests me at the moment. (I still havn't looked through all of it though).

EDIT: Nevermind it seems there are some mecha shows on this list that might be pretty awesome to watch. And that Witch acadimia OVA has caught my eye.

[Bells]

Do we have anything like these anime posters for Tv series? Feels like there should be some sort of compilations of series and new seasons somewhere, but i can't find anything quite like it.

[RobinStarwing]

And STILL no word on the new Sailor Moon. :|

You could watch Dokidoki Precure, Robin. It's pretty good this year.
