What better way to fill the dreaded emptiness of no more Hyouka than with a nice big dose of Hidamari! Chika's still moe as hell and the antics of Yoshinoya never get old.

Hmm....

I see.

I see some people were too expectant of something resolute to end it all with a nice consumed romance gift-wrapped with a cute little (pink) ribbon on top, to be completely satisfied... but you know what? Look at these characters now, look at how they try to understand each other, are connected, have changed during all these episodes... because I think that is a sufficient reward in regards to development to sustain this series. Life continues but they are closer than ever and with a future brighter ahead for someone previously more "grey" like Oreki, together on this... isn't that sweet enough?
That without taking into account that they probably want to adapt future novels, and leaving this as such gives them more liberty to do it.

Thanks! That illustrative 'Burglar Oreki' was too one-of-a-kind to not use it.

Uta no prince sama 2 crys. Also wasnt blood lad dated 2013 too...
Blood Lad doesn't have a confirmed date in 2013 yet - it could be January, it could be April, it could be any time.
UtaPri 2 is, I believe, penciled for April next year.

Might be something to do with the different masters of the series.
All I can say to that is watch FLAG.

You'd think so, wouldn't you, but it was actually about two hours long!
Where's the confirmation for Jojo? And AKB0048 is pretty much confirmed. The official site says the next stage starts in the beginning of 2013.
On that note, do we have confirmation that PP and Robotic are having both seasons back to back?
Yes.
Hyouka
Since I've already been so comprehensively beaten to the punch, I'll refrain from posting any kind of detailed writeup. However, I will say that I've enjoyed my time with the show immensely, and like others have said, it will be interesting to revisit some of the earlier episodes. I think the power of hindsight will only improve the show, especially as it trades heavily in the details, something which KyoAni has excelled in.
It's a testament to their work that I can really sense a development in the characters, because with most shows, it is quite easy to simply be reductive about such things. And that is something which Mad Pierrot's post on Arcana Famiglia highlights brilliantly, in so much that when you break it down, nothing much really happens outside of the broad strokes. And in the case of Hyouka, I think you can see a marked contrast in it's protagonists, from beginning to end.
Agreed. But that also raises questions about the weird dynamic/expectations that generally surround a finale. If it had happened in a typical fashion, then it just would have done a disservice to the material, because Hyouka has shown that is willing to work at its own pace, and within the nuance that provides.

This episode feels like a transition point just before the ending gets started.
It's a nice enough episode. There was something rather touching to the way that
But given how limp the things we do learn in this episode are, it was a little more boring than usual.
I suspect the final episodes will be different.

Great episode, great show. This was a really pleasant surprise for me, since I had no expectations for it going into this season, and everyone's positive comments about the first two episodes got me watching. And unlike Sankarea, it didn't totally shit the bed.
It's good to know that I can believe in things again.

I like the way the town looks in the winter. It fits the current tone pretty well.

Rakka and Reki acted towards each other, even though Reki was suffering and Rakka knew it.

@Jarmel You might also want to check out Tokyo Marble Chocolate, which is an OVA thing that Shiotani directed previously.

well, "found a list with all confirmed TV animes for 2013"...
But I guess it's time for some stomach-cutting now.
Looks like it was just an omission in your post. Either that or Yaraon also edited it into their list when none of us were looking.
Personally, for airing schedules I use Moon Phase, because they update that shit really fast, and I can check it at a glance without filtering through shit.
For how long an upcoming or currently running show is, I use the "For new series... How many cour is it? How many episodes? When does it start airing?" 2ch thread. They always have people posting updates and changes, including sources. But it also requires a bit of filtering if you don't read it regularly, since well... it's a 2ch thread. I've never encounted a penis photo or goat sex stuff on that thread too, so that's a plus...

Gundam AGE 48
You know your anime is bad when some random grunt steal the spotlight from your main chara in second to last episode.
Asemu still a boss though, the entire anime should just about him.. Instead got the smallest part between his douchebag father and emo kid of him.
Yay, just one more eps of this and we got Magi.

Episode 45 is pretty good, have some of best action cut in this year too and the content itself should pretty enjoyable for people that stay away from it.
After that well its final battle with many emo moment that I think you not gonna give a damn (neither me)

JINRUI - 01
WHY ? i don't know (yet) is it a mistery ? i don't know .. in fact watching the first ep again i'm not even sure what's going on .
I do enjoy the main character monologues and reactions given what's happening to her and i'm not sure how i should feel to the rest of the cast yet ..
Anyway my memory is now fresh , time to watch ep 2.

Dem Chinese subs!
Did you like the cool animation on episode 31, for example? Because Se-Jun Kim was back as mechanical animation director and key animator on episode 45.
