Looks like the official site is now up for the Date A Live anime, confirming it will air in 2013, with some key character art and the staff and cast announced:

For a refresher on what this series is about:
In the story, a boy named Sido (ShidōItsuka meets a spirit girl who has been rejected by a devastated world. The girl, who Sido names "Tohka," happens to have wiped out much of humanity 30 years ago, and now she is back. The only way to stop her is to date her.
Probably more Hosoda than anything else.

What's your impression on FFXIII's Vanille and Fang, my friend?
Babies are adorable. Puppies are adorable. So baby puppies: double adorable.
Hahahahaha he thinks I actually played FFXIII...
I never really considered the fact that he might be a household name there, I guess.
I think that we can safely confirm that this is, indeed, an anime.
Too late, I've got the hots for Tomato Hoodie now.
It's like shipping an overgrown mostly-naked seven-year-old with my sixty-year-old chain-smoking aunt. Pairing sux.

So much fun. I love it when shows do these kinds of episodes, and this one was hilarious. I laughed really hard when
Also I will have nightmares about robots like... that thing.
Hey, uh, they were missing the preview for the next episode... WHERE IS IT?!?!
You know what, just let me know when they decide to release it. I'll be waiting.

the dwarves walked on stage as 6 of them and it didn't show Akari, and then when they were introducing them, I realized they didn't even shoe her walk on LOL

That's like the most boring way to save humanity.
I really love those character designs.

Those are some frightening cucumbers.
I guess there's higher tension for the intended audience due to living in a culture where approaching a woman is roughly equal in difficulty to stopping a cataclysmic world-ending event.
I wish Akari was my daughter.
Well, I imagine a string of widely-acclaimed movies that the whole family can enjoy will do that for a guy.
See, case in point, Akarin is daughter/imouto tier more than anything else

I played it for like fifteen hours and then proceeded to watch the rest on youtube.
Still hot!
Waver is the best Waifu.
The only ones that seem mature enough to not be in that classification in my opinion would be Ayano, Himawari, the elder sisters of each girl, and Nishigaki.
Definitely the best F/Z waifu.

You know what I hate? When an interesting development that's alluded to in the OP doesn't happen until the 2nd to last fuckin episode!
And there goes the last of Freecell's sanity.

Those numbers make me so happy.
Figures that I like the most plain design (the fourth one)! She actually reminds me of Eu as far as her design goes.
The second one really tips you off about the character design being done by Tsunako.
Edit: Motonaga Keitaro has some interesting titles under his name. Shirane Hideki, not so much.
Lol./ First thing I thought about when I read that name too.
Extrapolating based on this trend, Hosoda's next film will make over 7.5 billion yen, and the next after that over 12 million yen.
His tenth film will be 9 hours long, with tickets so expensive that only the five richest kings in Europe can afford one.
So since it takes him 3 years between films, by 2018 Hosoda will have firmly replaced Hayao Miyazaki in the Japanese animation industry?!
In six years Miyzakai might have trouble remembering his own name, so sure.

Nope, but there's a guy named Klondike.

What to say about this? I feel like gushing praise for this show is redundant, and I am also sure other people have expanded on what this cartoon does well. The people behind this have to be proud of this work --it's a subject matter seldom seen in the medium and always looks at its best from every standpoint. I remember picking this up back in spring because of the rambunctious title, not once imagining I would find in it one of the most adult anime I've had the pleasure to watch. Simply superb. The way they handle tone, from the childlike wonder of alien worlds to the tension of living in a Big Brotheresque environment, could have gone awry under less skillful hands.
This sequence reminded me of Yakitate!! Japan before that show began to get away from the pseudo-educational bread stuff and got firmly entrenched in pun-land. I wanna try making udon now (or maybe I'm just hungry).
Hosoda is a fad.
I can never return to those rose-colored days when I first watched Tamayura.
Should have snapped a photo I guess.
A certified classic.
This is by far one of the most intelligently written and mature series I have ever come across. It is absolutely enjoyable in every way. Serika is significantly adorable.

I like how you manage to segue every possible topic into a :cajun. <3
Just a quick warning, but I have quite a few trophy heads of those who dared to make YuruYuris their waifus.
See, this man knows how things work around here.
What about best girls?
I'd be a hypocrite if I didn't allow that.
There are few movies where I can write literal essays about the underlying rules and mechanics of the world. And I did.

Well that sure was not a complete waste of time.
I'm going to bed, fuck Accel World.

This is pretty much exactly what I expected. Might be a bit too low-key for the guy, but I'm basing that on Fourteen, yet I know he did have at least a few shreds of sanity at one point.
That was some Elfen Lied shit near the end there.

That show is miraculous.
My roommate tried to watch some of it but she said it was too silly for her tastes.
She also said Omishi Magical theater Risky Safety was too cute to watch.
She also didnt like Princess tutu
