Fate Zero S2 - Can't wait for moar RIDER goodness.
Sakamichi no Apollon - Watanabe + Kanno is enough to sell me on this.
Lupin the Third - That PV was amazing despite having not watched any Lupin.
Hyouka - Will look great even if everything else disappoints. I'm always good for a mystery.
Saki Achiga-hen - I'm up for more yuri mahjong. RINSHAN KAIHOU!

Maybe:
Jormungand - Looks interesting. Will wait for impressions.
Medaka Box - Wouldn't even consider if not for Nisio Isin.
Accel World - Premise sounds pretty run-of-the-mill. Butterfly girl looks rad though.
Sankarea - Interested. Will wait for impressions.
AKB0048 - Looks and sounds ridiculous. Are they trying to unite idol and animu otaku?
Kuroko no Basuke - Too long since there was a basketball anime with normal guys. Basquash had sucky mechs and Rokyobu felt wrong to watch.
Kore wa Zombie desu ka?: Jigoku Hen - ehhhh. The first season was ok until the forced dorama. Not sure.

Nisio Isin is what destroys any hope Medaka Box ever had of being good.

Just take Fate/Zero off, and that looks pretty similar to what I'll be watching.

And of course, add Sengoku, Upotte, Nyaruko.... just add everything. :(

I just spent way too much time digging this up:
Onegai Teacher ep 2
Ano Natsu ep 12

Based on this, I'd say they're connected, and as previously mentioned, with all the MIB stuff, Lemon may in fact be Ichigo from Onegai. Same VA and all, naturally. :)

Yeah, that does seem to be more than just a coincidence. Definitely tied to Onegai, whether directly or indirectly.

Yay for Inu Boku and Ano Natsu selling at least something! I'd prefer Ano Natsu to be higher, but I'll take what I can get.

I think Nisio Isin's work is pretty interesting, to say the least. I can understand if one isn't a fan of him though.

Not a fan of Fate/_ stuff?

I don't really have any opinion on Fate/ stuff, I just didn't like the first season at all.

I like Nisio's monagatari series, but Medaka Box is crap.

Duckroll ruined the OP. :(

Any OP which lists a non-anime product and accuses people who complain about such things of being whiners with a fetish for Japan is clearly a OP that was ruined from the start!

Wouldn't you just be satisfied with some Cherry Blossom falling?

Yeah, it seems like fan-service, but I don't know if there's supposed to be an explicit connection.  I assume in Japan you would need the rights to the IP to even make an overt reference like that anyway?
Click to expand...

In all seriousness,
I feel that it was handled pretty well, as far as referencing other works goes. I don't know the original work myself but it still felt like an organic component of Ano Natu's storyline, rather than simply 'fanservice' for fans of this other work.

Nichibros - END

It ended on such a high note.

I've lost too much anime in the past 24 hours, Gintama, Another, Ano Natsu, Natsume and now Daily Lives... and Chihayafuru is next.

The only upside is that Nichibros is getting another season somewhere down the line.

Will be pleasantly surprised if I watch a full season of any show this Spring. A few of moderate interest:
[...]Fate/Zero - Haven't watched the 1st season. I gave up around 10 - 15 minutes through the 1st episode. Will try again as I heard it is good (though compared to what, exactly, I'm not sure...).
Click to expand...

Wouldn't it make sense to go back and watch some more of the first season then (it does get better as it goes on), before jumping into the second? Or is that what you're planning anyway?

Oh my god, that hot dog sketch rivals, and quite possibly surpasses, the one from Nichijou in terms of sheer hilarity.
Whole episode was great, really, especially
that ultra cheesy/cliche graduation segment that was clearly a dream from the start. Didn't expect the girl from the mirror, though
.

Also, that fabulous ending pose.

Bloody hell. I will be slightly busy watching this season.

Apollon - Jazz motherfuckers
Fujikos adventures - Fujisex
Tsuritama - fishing is fun
Space Bros - Space is fun
Jormungand - Interesting premise
Medaka Box -
HNNNG
E7AO - Chiaki Omigodwa as Elena Peoples
Accel world - Interesting premise
Hyouka - DEM EYES
Sankarea - for the hell of it
AKB0048 - LOL.
upotte! - I like guns. Do you like guns?
Sengoku Collection - High probability of cute
Fate Zero - because I'm bound to a very expensive contract

definitely maybes:
Saint Seiya omega - Precure bros
Natsuiro Kiseki - slice of life cuteness and nice art

Now now, we don't need to go throwing bad words around and implying that animation studios are peddling their material to perverts, there's no need to disparage their reputation in such a manner.

Unless we're talking about SHAFT.

Bleach 366 (end)
tumblr_m1jk948JLZ1r3knooo1_r1_500.gif


Only thing to dislike was the fight was way too short but it was pretty emotional just watching the OP play knowing its the final one and then seeing once again the animators love for
IchiRuki with the goodbye
I guess see you again means it will be back someday.

So much time on this anime for it to end, wow.
Favorite Characters: Ichigo, Grimmjow, Ulquiorra, Hisagi, Muramasa (filler), Aizen, Jinta, Keigo Asana
Favorite Arc: Arrancar saga, Materialized Zanpaktou (filler)
Best moment: Ichigo v Grimmjow, v Ulqiorra, v Aizen.

Excellent adaptation that made me like it way more than the manga. Ignoring bount arc, tied with Reborn and Naruto as my favorite >200 concluded long anime. 8/10

Stop hating on one of my favorite anime studios of all time. Shaft is the fucking BOMB DIGGITY. any amount of Shaft in a given season promises great entertainment.

Daily Lives of High School Boys 12 (end)

Fun episode that caught me off guard
did they really graduate or was that a dream, I will miss president and Tadakuni if so, wow, though I guess he didnt based on the running with toast in the mouth late for school 2.0

Usually avoid these type of anime but the character cast was compelling so gave it a shot. I think I still prefer storyliens over skit type set ups, but most 90% of the ones in this anime were fun, must buy whenever NISA gets it (shame its not gonna be dubbed :/ ). 8 / 10

Holy rushdown Batman

Adachi's teleporting powers are awesome though, as is the method of incorperation of his flashbacks. His personality switch is still perhaps too sudden though

Tadakuni, only as a protagonist on his dreams...

Well rounded final episode even on a (for me) mighty regular and amazingly enjoyable series. Having for this such a collection of cool voice actors doing random 'ad-lib' (or what they make to seem 'ad-lib') and crazy jokes was an additional pleasure well worth the adaptation.

And... wow, now I've check it out! I made my biggest post-count on a thread ever... but why exactly?

I still can't understand how I've made approximately one sixth of my total posts as a user of this forums (150 posts) on a seasonal thread where I haven't watched or discussed practically ANYTHING aired this season (except for little impressions on THERMÆ ROMÆ and checking how the adaptations of Nisemonogatari's light novels and Daily Lives of High School Boys were coming along). In fact, I didn't even watched shows lately on my free time except for a recent revisit of Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water.

And what I posted hasn't been very useful either, with many of my posts being worthless retorts... I simply don't want this. I have to be more concise and helpful as a whole, starting now.

Hey! Mr. Maruyama, that even created an 'spécialité' of a meal he named after the studio, organizes what seems to be good and filling lunches (with a recent example here http://lockerz.com/s/184620758) for his comrades, sharing their food and discussions around a table as between all of them will appear friendly bonds made to last.

I think it would be cool if they published a official website to keep better track on things like this.

For AO do we know who the scriptwriter and composer are? For writer I'm pretty sure it's Kyoda and Saito wouldn't touch this shit with a ten mile pole but I would like confirmation.
