I guess that anime will finally answer the age-old question: can love bloom on the battlefield?
(Nerawareta Gakuen, that is)
A slightly spoilery synopsis is here. It reveals more than the Japanese promotional material does, and the trailers are placing much more emphasis on the romantic elements of the story rather than the sci-fi.
Sounds somewhat interesting, why does everything have to be set in highschool though.

NeraGaku is a "classic" kids' novel, with several film and TV adaptations already made. This isn't a film for grown-ups by any means. I know that it doesn't answer your point, but the target audience is in highschool!

I'm not sure I have a problem with the designs themselves or if it's just the coloring, but yeah, the characters look really offputting. If the concept(and sexchart.jpg) weren't so compelling, I wouldn't even bother.Those character designs are so bad.
They look so flat and...soulless. It's like that terrifying devil child from Tari Tari.
In motion they look considerably better, but they never totally shed that awkwardness.
Hmmm, that CG panning shot across the rooftop at the end looks kind of awkward.

Oh right, that's a big focus. Back to being skeptical!
I don't know if that is a big focus, nothing in the previews seems to indicate it is.

Are you calling SDBurton one-note?

It seems to be a sci-fi adventure story with relationship and morality drama elements.
Too bad that the anime won't be as... ToLoveRu as the manga.

I'm not really sure what to think. The lighting is a bit all over the place and there's more cherry blossoms in this trailer than in the whole of 5cmp/s.

Doesn't it air at like three in the morning?
Not that I strongly disagree with you, but I'm not really sure what your expectations were. It's a light comedy, and something equally or more condemning could be said of nearly every show this season outside of Humanity Has Declined.

Psycho-Pass
Magi
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure
Chuunibyou

But as usual I'll be open minded about other shows.
Anime Has Declined.

The manga is To-love ru ish? Then why are monocles hyping it up?
at 12:30am or so, I think.
Because the manga isn't the original source, the Nihon SF Taishou Prize-winning novel is.

Zetsuen no Tempest cause the source story is from the writer of my favorite manga ever and has awesome designed characters.
Btooom! simply because it has the best song thus far for the fall
Little Busters! for school friendship
I guess Im looking forward to roughly 13 of the anime.

Too bad. I'm sure it would be more interesting if it was like To-love ru.

Damn these light novels and their dumb titles.
"Regardless of My Adolescent Delusions of Grandeur, I Want a Date!"
e: is it my fate to always be old?

I love the fact that "moe" is a real tag.
I guess something had to take Saw's place. I thought Hostel already took that throne though.
edit: Not to mention I already saw 4 episodes of Rin. Not sure about ever finishing that.

I like duckroll's "Crazy Girl Anime" translation.
Regulus Tera
Romanes Eunt Domus
Catching up with my backlog.
Sounds like a Gintama episode title. Both the name and your edit.
Close call, man... now this makes me remember those users on other sections of this forum that compete to post a thread with the first news from a conference without anymore information, and I don't like that at all. Sorry, Dresden!
It really can mean anything, everything and nothing... but above all it is a cheap lure now.

I don't see why. Don't we already have To-Love Ru?
Come to think of it, I actually didn't know that the title meant either outside of the Chuunibyou part. Knowing now certainly doesn't increase my expectations, if anything.

More super interesting things are never a bad thing.
They should have used "pretentious hipster bullshit" for that, like some translators do...

Lacus even got to (briefly) pilot the Infinite Justice. Well, more like just sat in it, but still. Would've been funny if she'd become hot-blooded and violent if given the chance to be a regular pilot
Also, never forget that Destiny gave us the pinnacle of mech design:
LOLOLOLOLOL
Im really wondering why Lacus is a Gundam pilot in Dynasty Warriors Gundam now.
Kept expecting her to pilot one, got to that point and thought "this is it!"....
LOL
Meh, there was so much pink and light purple in Seed I was numb to it by that time.
Ahh, this is the kind of thing I wanted to know about. That makes it a lot more clear, thanks.
It's in the format of "Even <type of people> want to find love!"
Like, "Even GAFfers want to find love!" except with "chuunibyou" in place of "GAFfers."
Another simple choice. Yuno and Mei <3
Colorful!! *_*
I like the art style. the character designs are a bit bland but red hair girl is definitely the best.
Cannot. wait. for. this.
If its Key, its on my watch list. I know these shows are not everyones cup of aloe vera but I cant stop watching them.
They also want to love something outside of Apple?

I suppose it's hard to argue against things that are super interesting.
