It's more about tension and oppression and a world that's become hostile, than anything else. I'm not surprised that it didn't translate to an anime but it sounds like they didn't even try to recreate the original feeling.

Ito's work usually has a sly humor to it, but from what I've seen of Gyo, well, lol.

I had forgotten how much I loved Steins;Gate. OVA brought me right back.

As long as we've got SHAFT in there, you know it's a solid list.

Uchuu Kyoudai has a dog in an astronaut suit. My interest is piqued.

lol OMG@ Nazo no Kanojo X's description
Typical, what will I do without Omigawa?
On the subject of the spring chart, looks like a great season. I think my dark horse anime for the season will be Shirokuma Cafe. I saw it on the block for spring some time ago, the premise sounds fun. A comedy about an animal cafe run by a polar bear? Great stuff there.
Yeah the OVA is basically entertaining trash, so I imagine quite a lot was lost in the adaption. I recall seeing a few pieces of the manga some time ago, perhaps I'll give it a look at some point.
I don't like the Yuuko on that poster either, but the PV doesn't look too bad.

Most looking forward to... Fate/Zero, Medaka Box, Sakamichi no Apollon, and Naze no Kanojo X.
What about the one with a dog in a high school girl uniform?

Well.
The shows all about these cool people who are different from everyone else with their sweet alternative music. Obv.

Three questions for every new season:
1) Which shows are Kobayashi in?
2) Which shows are SatoJun directing?
3) Which shows are written by Yoshida?
I'll watch those shows.

Serious (lolnotsrs) check out list:
Uchuu Kyoudai
Sengoku Collection?
Hyouka

What I am willing to try out:
Sengoku Collection (though I expect it to turn out to be terrible like Brave 10)
Hyouka
Fate/Zero S2
Kore wa Zombie desu ka? OF THE DEAD (if I finish season 1 first)
Acchi Koochi
Sankarea (maybe?)
Haiyore! Nyaruko-san (another maybe)
Medaka Box
Sakamichi no Apollon (more maybe)
Accel World
But, I do expect to probably drop half of them by like week three or something.

It's the show relaunching NHK General's animation block, from director Konosuke Uda (Galaxy Express 999: Eternal Fantasy, Lovely Complex, the upcoming Niji-Iro Hotaru) and studio TYO Animations (The Legend of Koizumi, Tamayura - Hitotose).
Hm I this is the first I'm hearing of Jormungand, its the new show for studio White Fox (Katanagatari, Steins Gate) apparently. Looks like a lot of the same staff as Katanagatari too, along with the writer for Onegai Teacher, Ano Natsu, etc.
Sounds like it could be good, I'll have to give it a look.

Knight in the Area sequel!
I hope Kobayashi is a main character at least. Then I can get away with not watching Queen's Blade.

I watched the promo for this a while back, thought it looked lame - it's white fox, I didn't like the designs, and the trailer itself sucked.
Hope it turns out well, though.

I love how this is coming from a country which doesn't give a single fuck about correct writing, pronounciation or sense of other languages, be it in movies, comics or tv series

I like how the Eureka Seven AO description is full of quotation marks.
Ah yeah I was just looking at the promo. Weak trailer. I'll give it a shot though, pretty decent staff, and the music should be good at least. White Fox has done solid work so far, although I only watched a couple episodes of Stein's.

I think Kobayashi is playing the male lead.
No need; Saint Seiya Omega is designed to be comfortable for people who have no prior experience of the series.
It's going to be a competitive season for train anime. Will it be able to compete with the Chinese CG production Train Hero?
Like Black Lagoon, but Rock is a ptsd shouta-soldier/slave, and Revy--crazy and all--is a genki arms-dealer/crime-head. It's pretty dark. Also,
Could be in for some pretty badass scenes.

This is much better than I would have thought. A glance at the premise and key art makes it seem like some dull cute girl slice-of-life sort of thing, but it's actually a wild, wacky, hyper-paced comedy, layering gags upon gags. It's the sort of show where the cast suddenly breaks out into a musical number.
I don't like the main character designs, but I do like the designs for the ancillary characters and the exaggerated art. There was one guy in particular who had some awesome faces:
I also like the art style used for the backgrounds:
Sometimes the humor is too fast or too random to stick with me, but considering how much they stuff into the episode enough of it sticks to be entertaining. I'll probably go back and check out the first season.

Yeah, I agree on that pv. I want to think that White Fox can do it right, but its a fast-paced kinda wtf~ish dumb fun seinen, and Steins;Gate didn't really impress with its production values, as much as I love it. Nothing they've done has, imo. But as long as they nail the facial expressions:
