I'll probably watch Boku no Hero Academia in spring since I heard so much about it. Don't know what else.

Haven't watched Jojo part 3 yet.

Now that I'm done with Maria the Virgin Witch wondering what next.

 

[Sibersk Esto]

Flying Witch?

The story follows the 15-year-old witch Makoto Kowata and the other boys and girls in her daily life. With her black cat Chito, the somewhat aimless girl moved from Yokohama to live with her second cousin at Aomori in verdant northern Japan.

Flying Witch

 

[Exalted]

For me there is really nothing that i'm really anticipating in spring season, but i plan to at least try the folowing series;

-Koutetsujou no Kabaneri
-Bungou Stray Dogs
-Shingeki no Bahamut: Manaria Friends
-Flying Witch
-Kuromukuro
-Re:Zero Kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu
-Gakusen Toshi Asterisk 2nd Season
-Boku no Hero Academia
-Macross Δ

 

[Crash Station]

FWIW (re: finding the first episode uninteresting), I think a lot of people who hype up One Punch Man do it solely for the animation and comedy aspects, but to me one of the best things is the subtle underlying character development - specifically Saitama's slow change from a lonely and depressed individual who is struggling to find meaning in life.

Basically what I'm saying is people like it for the wrong reasons. YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG.

Not to say that will automatically make you like it if you were turned off by certain aspects, but it's always kind of sad when people don't acknowledge the best part of One Punch Man.

I'm kind of this way. I absolutely love the action, animation, direction, music, etc, but the character interactions and development are definitely up there with why I love the series. If I was just in it for the eye candy, I wouldn't be caught up with ONE's version.

I can appreciate Mob and OPM for different things, but I do find myself gravitating more toward OPM's more subtle character development as opposed to Mob's more detailed development.

Also, the comedy does almost nothing for me in OPM with the possible exception of "okay". It's not what I read/watch the series for.

It's honestly not rare for someone to like one but not the other. For instance I vastly prefer the characters of Mob than OPM since the latter are completely one dimensional other than Saitama. Also majority of the time Mob doesn't focus on action like OPM which is nonstop action.

I prefer Mob a lot and don't find OPM all that entertaining. It's probably because the comedy runs dry very quickly.

The recent arcs of Mob have been all action with like a 2-5 chapter cooldown between arcs. It's pretty much a straight-up standard shounen at this point.

As for whether the characters are one-dimensional or not, I find that amusing since I would say most characters in Mob other than Reigen, Mob, Ritsu and the most recent villain are one-dimensional.

We'll just have to agree to disagree here.

Pretty good. That Nakata and Wakamoto duo.

Plot continues to thicken as we learn more about the knights. I also like where the story is going with the prince. He's totally gonna kick ass soon.

I will deal with the Spring Season when it is time for the Spring Season.

 

[Crash Station]

Wait a damn minute! When the hell did Big Order get announced? How have I not heard about this!?

People who like the guy's earlier work, Mirai Nikki should watch it. Will be fun!

 

[sonicmj1]

Haly didn't post the full Hundred description, which establishes it as Spring season's mandatory generic "boy in magic high school" light novel anime adaptation.

"I wanted to meet you, Hayato!!"
"W–who are you…?"

Hayato feels a strange yet familiar sense of incongruity towards Charles Emil Crossford, his roommate who somehow knows him from somewhere. On top of that, as soon as he enters the school, he is challenged to a duel by the "Queen" (the school's most powerful Slayer) Claire Harvey!

The promo art that Anichart is using features the main character and four girls.

Wait, what? Nah, I never even turned on Valky or Prisma..

I do like sophomoric humor, so those ecchi comedies are right up my alley.

Next season is all about Bakuon!! anyway.

Soredemo 7

Pretty sure this counts as a Monogatari training ep.

 

[mrpallyguy]

Looking forward to flying witch and Re: zero. If they don't rush RE:zero it should be good.

 

[Hellwarden]

Next season is about Crimson Moon being over.

Also I decided to watch Dennou Coil. Partially because I heard it was really good, but mainly because LOOK AT THIS DOG!

YEAH!

That was some damn quality anime.
Just what I needed to get myself back into the swing of watching anime in bulk.

I want to imagine that the reaction on his face is over those golf pants.

I hope what's in the PV is indicative of what the rest of the soundtrack will be like.

She is turning 40 this year after all. Wonder if it's not health related maybe she's got other personal things to focus on.

 

[Qurupeke]

LTTP: Spring will be awesome.

 

[pbayne]

Can't believe people are pining for Spring already, when theres still 6 weeks of the Winter season to go.

 

[Ascheroth]

Nothing has me really excited for spring season so far, but I'll find 1 or 2 eventually.

You're crazy, there are like 20 shows I want to check out at least.
I'll most likely drop half of them after some episodes, but still.
Spring is packed.

I don't think it's absurd to say ONE's intentionally sketchy art style has less wide appeal than the well done, but more standard Murata art style. Hopefully people will keep an open mind and try it anyway, but I've definitely seen people on Twitter and elsewhere say it's a turn-off.

As much as I like OPM with Murata designs and its glorious action sequences, the Mob Psycho PV looks visually superior on every level.
But yeah, it's going to be a turn off for many :/

 

[fertygo]

GATE - 17

Holy shit that's damn good.. I'm gladly buying the propaganda/bias and yell GO NIPPON willfully cause they made anime about killing dragon with rocket launcher and jet missile.

 

[Bob Coffee]

don't worry guys Macross delta will singlehandedly save 2016!. just got to hold out a little bit longer until spring for the space idol deculture goodness!

 

[duckroll]

Yukari Tamura cancels winter concert, ends radio shows.

I hope whatever is going on is nothing serious. Hoping for the best.

I think this is business related. March is also the end of the financial year, so all the accounts and sites also closing at the end of that month indicates that the current business arrangement is not going to continue into a new year. Agency change seems likely.

 

[MikeHattsu]

Nico? Trash?

Too far TUSR.

But he's right!


Spring is looking good. Will probably watch:
Ace Attorney
Bakuon
Flying Witch
Hai-Furi
Kuma Miko
Sailor Moon
Sansha Sanyou
Unhappy Go Lucky

 

[Aki-at]

The show I'm looking forward to most in Spring other than JoJo is Kuma Miko, a talking bear is enough to get my interest piqued.

Not sure about Joker Game (Mainly iffy about how pro it might be about the Japanese army) or Koutetsujou no Kabaneri (I'm not really interested in Attack of Titan and this is giving me the same vibes) but I'll pick both up and see if they gel with me.

Bakuon!!:

Synopsis:
The story revolves around high school girls who discover the appeal of motorcycles. Sakura Hane is a high school student who looks a little bit like an airhead. On the way to her all-female high school one day, she is worn-out climbing a hilly road with a bicycle, but she sees a girl named Onsa Amano who is riding a motorcycle. Sakura immediately becomes interested in motorcycles, and she and Onsa join the motorcycle club at the school. Then, Sakura sets out to get her license.

Is this a yuri story? What's the draw here?
