Having at least one stand-out and memorable show is better than having a bunch of good but forgettable shows in a sense.
That is assuming penguin drum lives up to that, I'm not getting to excited yet, after what happened to [C].
Not only that Bunny drop based on what i hear of the manga, will probably be the best character-driven drama this year since Wandering son.

How can a fan of K-ON not being hyped up for Idolmaster!!
But summer has manmaru penguin drum which will probably be better than anything that has aired this season!

Following at the moment:
Syouwa Monogatari
Nitijyou
AnoHana
HanaIro
Denpa Onna
Enma-kun
A Channel
As well as the series I've long been following.
About to dive into Mosidora - has anyone given it a shot? I figure even if the preview sucked a girl managing a baseball team has got to have a few jokes and endearing moments in it right?

Some of these I need to catch up on but that's mostly what I'm following this season. Some for enjoyment and a few due to a sick sense of commitment, I guess.
Overall I'd say not bad. Not bad at all.
Oh! Forgot to add Hidan no Aria. Now that is a masterpiece.

Loli kissing? Eh, guess I can tolerate it if the action is good. Wasn't bad this episode.

I'm enjoying all of them. The only show that I'm a little shaky on is Deadman, but the most recent episode renewed my interest so I'll probably be sticking around for the entire thing.
[C] 5 - I feel like the series has started dragging its feet. I dunno. There's no real clear villain and zero tension at this point. I hope it picks back up soon.
A Channel 6 - Well, it's A Channel I suppose. Remains a guilty pleasure.
Hanasaku Iroha 7 - Hahaha, fantastic episode. Good for Tomoe. Almost no Minko made this one of the best episodes yet.

With summer i particularly have high hopes for Idolm@ster, Mawaru Penguindrum & Bunny drop, the latter two having a good chance of being both better and more memorable than the majority of "good" shows this season, which will be enough to make it a more interesting season than spring.Branduil said:
Also all those other shows i listed have a decent chance of being watchable at least! which will be good as some icing for the three heavy-hitter shows. I don't really think whether they deliver or not really matters.

Why couldn't I get Horikita Maki as Haruhi? WHY?! WHY?!
Also, since this is TBS, be prepared for this show to be named Ouran High School Host Club but have zero zilch to do with the actual manga/anime.
They've taken umm... liberties with other manga adaptations in the past.

This is starting to look a lot like Gash Bell, but with big breasted bishoujos instead of demon children (with one exception so far). Works for me. Also, that laser dodging at the end of the episode was awesome.

Battle Girls 06 - Yeah, I like this series now. Oh, it's certainly a bad show, but it's the kind of bad show I can enjoy. This was another fun episode, the contrast between watching Nobunaga and idiot MC dodge the traps while the other woman talked about her backstory (how Nobunaga found her) and how she's so dedicated to her was amusing. It did set up potential future conflict, though, if she decides that she's so disappointed in Nobunaga liking our heroine that she turns against them or something... we'll see.
Also, once assembled will the armor help Nobunaga rule, or turn her into a generic evil Nobunaga like you usually see? I'm going to guess the former, this isn't the usual evil Nobunaga clearly. But there probably will be some kind of threat, I just don't know what it'll be yet.
Lotte no Omocha! 07 - Okay episode. We meet the five year old looking sage. Princess gets mad for no good reason (main character guy angered her for not being available when she wanted him, as if that's his fault?), flees to earth. But oh no, she's in danger! Will the titular character die? Somehow I doubt it...
Yeah, this show continues to be okay but unspectacular, and it definitely has way too many lolis. Not sure how long I'll stick with this series... but at least it is cute and often sweet. There's just too much loli stuff for me to say I actually like it.
Dog Days 07 - Blah, come back when the action starts again...
I mean, this episode wasn't terrible, but it didn't have much point either. No fighting this time at all. Instead, it's just some princess x hero stuff and setup for the next, upcoming fight. There are speeches by the rulers, the dog people and hero try to think about why Leo is acting this way now, etc. Tolerably bland stuff, but this show is so much better when it's got action going on...
As for the hero x priness stuff, I do like that this show actually uses Chocobos. It's funny stuff. Also, so apparently these dog-people like getting petted on their heads. Hmm. I was half expecting her to try to grab that frisbee with her teeth or something, instead of her hands... fortunately she doesn't. She does wag her tail when she's happy, though. It's a little bit weird. She obviously likes him, and he

tells her that after he goes home (presuming he does) he wants her to summon him again sometime, because he wants to see them again... doesn't want to abandon his harem now that he's building it up, I guess? To be fair though, it is a pretty different place from modern Earth so sure I can see him wanting to return.
To be fair though, it is a pretty different place from modern Earth so sure I can see him wanting to return.I remember watching that on G4, years ago, back when they showed anime, but I haven't seen it again, and I never watched the original Gatekeepsers series either (G4 repeatedly showed 21, but never the original one while I was watching at least). I remember thinking it was alright to good, but it was a while ago and I don't really remember the details. I might want to watch it again, I'm not sure...duckroll said:
The original Gatekeepers is miles ahead of 21 in quality. GK21 was unnecessarily grimdark and the lead is also an unlikeable kuu/tsun-dere who never goes dere.

Plus, it doesn't seem like she's Shun's daughter with Yuriko. What the fuck? Why would you break the canon pairing for no reason whatsoever?!

Idk, sounds pretty interesting, but I doubt I would ever watch it. Saw the first nine episodes of the anime earlier today and I had a blast. Totally blew away my expectations. So far, I would say my favorite character(s) are without a doubt in my mind the Twins
still watching (in order of anticipation of next episode)

Hmmm... Blood-C confirmed to debut 7/7, so that'll be A Channel's timeslot (aka Madoka slot!). Blood-C and Penguin Drum running back to back on MBS, while noitaminA has a new Production IG and BONES show... will mean that Thursdays are probably the peak of interesting anime every week even in Summer. Lol.

Haha. The series did have a small emotion impact on me but it was rather short. In a way the length worked because the story wasn't anything new. I wouldn't say it's deep though.
The series' end is somewhat spoiled at the start too but the journey itself is a good underdog story. It's not much of an after-school story though (it's mostly about the baseball and how to run a good club with a friendship story thrown in for good measure).
Anne of green gables 12 - Show is so amazing, i mean anne can be a little annoying at times (but that's part of her character) and the pacing is arguably slow, but the direction is so damn good, isao takahata at the top of his game, that's for sure!
That sequence where anne made up a story about losing the brooch was O_O
Horray, i always like it when all the good shows air on the same day.
