Spring 2014 Anime Season

Chart: http://i5.minus.com/i99rqnvyhKdAl.jpg

So what's everyone planning on watching? I don't see much I'd want to watch aside from Blade & Soul. I'm a huuuuuuuuuuuuge fantasy buff, but I've never watched Fairy Tail so I'd be hundreds of episodes behind on that one.

Dragonar looked cool until I was instantly turned off by a tentacle scene in the trailer I watched (I think it was that show?)

No Game, No Life I'll give a chance on premise alone.

Wasino sounds kind of heartwarming, and the premise has a rather quaint and old-timey feeling to it; sounds more like an anime from the early 1980s. I don't actually plan to watch it, though. selector infected WIXOSS looks like a nice series, and it's being primed as one of the token 'dark' series for the Spring 2014 season. Gokukoku no Brynhildr is from the author who created Elfen Lied, so instant watch for that reason alone. The original Date A Live was a show I greatly enjoyed, so I'll be returning for the sequel - light, breezy entertainment, and genuinely well-made and constructed in some ways (I think the series has a great, measured sense of pacing that's both brisk yet leisurely, whereas a lot of anime rush by so fast that I never really care about the story or characters). Atelier Escha & Logy is a definite watch for me as someone that's always enjoyed the Atelier series, and the story has a very interesting premise (apparently it's a post-apocalyptic tale and the two main protagonists are trying to piece together forgotten history and rediscover lost technologies). Hitsugi no Chaika and Gochuumon wa Usagi desu ka round out the list for me, they look pleasant and watchable.

The one and only



I will also watch Soul Eater NOT, Mangaka-san to Assistant-san for the laughs, that sumo anime if it's interesting enough, and probably watch the first season of Mushishi.

I'd watch Atelier Eschatology, but I'm planning to play the game eventually, so I won't spoil the story.

But, JoJo will be my main show this season, and gotdangit, it's tomorrow. KYAAAAAAAAAA

Only really care for Mekaku City Actors aka Kagerou Days.



Dauntless DOTE FER DAYS

Err I mean....



....Yes

Also gonna watch Date A Live S2, Love Live S2, Mahouka, and Yugioh Arc V.
Holding off on the Atelier anime as well.....

I wonder what anime is going to be the SAO and Attack on Titan?

I pray to the Stand Giving lord Jesus Christ that it won't be JoJo. As much as I love the anime, that kind of popularity will split the fanbase again.

And I'm already going gaga/crazy over it. I have to control myself before I turn into one of those rabid AoT fans.

I'm find for that hyped Mahouka (the suits are classy tho, I'll give it that) to be that.

It's not Summer yet. That happens in Summer dogue.

Did you actually like it?

Lemme rephrase that. Did you like.... Tohka....?

Attack on Titan was on Spring man. I remember it clearly while reviewing for my exams.

You know... I can't believes it's been a year since AoT aired..... time flies

Yeah Escha and Logy is one of those "I'd watch but then I'd spoil the game" shows. I'd watch it otherwise. Ironically I may never play the game because I just can't deal with the whole time management thing.

If last season is any indication, on a whim I'll be watching some shows I don't really think I will like and wind up sticking with them the whole season.

I already miss my Log Horizon but at least I'll be able to return to the database (woah oh) in the fall.

What only matter is JoJo's.

Now I miss our old forums with Conn, Cloud, Kenny, braindead and others on our first JoJo's thread.

Definitely, I loved Date A Live. The sequel's one of my most anticipated shows for Spring. And Tohka's my second favorite girl after Kurumi (though Miku might push her down to third), she's adorable and a lot of fun.

If you want to contribute, I made a new JoJo thread here.

I will inherit their JoJo spirit (but not there Tales spirit) and continue the legacy!

You read the LNs I assume?
I hope Kurumi remains your top, my comrade.

My bro and sis have been singing it all the time to haunt me. WOAH OOOHHH

That and "Respect for the Dead Man!" from Nobunagun are stuck on my head.

When are we getting a strong and exciting animu season again?

Naw, I'm typically too ADD even for Light Novels. Miku's hot as hell though, and according to the TVTropes Characters page, she's the type that was a sweet kid but became an emotionally unstable wreck over time because of trauma, and I think that kind of person is really interesting both in fiction and real life.

And there's no beating Kurumi, so no worries, Fal-senpai.




... oh, speaking of Spring 2014 anime, subs for selector infected WIXOSS just came out. I forgot that was airing today.

I'm so going to hell for this.

*shot shot shot shot shot*

I love those pictures. Hopefully the fanbase will pass the next six months between season 1 and season 2 by making as many epilepsy pictures as possible.

Tenshi killed me...... I'm dyingATABASE.....

DAT FIRST EPISODE OF JOJO.

DEM STANDS. GOODNESS OH MY GOD.

One of the best shows this season for sure. The animation definitely went up.

Polnareff and Iggy, WHEN?!

Is it just me, or does every anime this season revolve around a cardgame in some way or other?

Believe in the power of cardboard with pretty art and you shall prevail...!



Seriously.

It's card games, what's not to like about last-second asspull (in terms of plot/duels) anime?
