Another episode of talking about whatever zzzz
What the hell, it's been TWO whole episodes without even a damn card being shown. Where are your priorities show. I'm not watching this for the story and definitely not for the characters.

Ohhhhh, Chitoge. Didn't know there was another spelling.
And damn, that does look like her bow. It's just a positioning thing though. The character doesn't look anything like her beyond blonde hair.

I guess it depends on which song. And I love me some makoto, but not a fan of her singing much.

Did we know this info already?
The Summer anime Fantasista Doll which is being produced by Toho and supervised by Goro Taniguchi (Planetes) has announced that the main character will be voiced by idol-seiyuu Ayaka Ohashi last known for her work in E7AO. (And I guess some character named Lance in Doki Doki Precure)
The summary of the show reads like Idolmaster Xenoglossia to be honest. The main girl, Uzume, gets a card which when you call upon the data inside, summons a "doll".
No word on the sequels "Striker Doll" or "Goalkeeper Doll" yet.

Splash Star 04:
happy (early) spring everyone
Splash Star isn't so bad yet, actually. It's still a pale imitation of Futari wa but it's at least cohesive in the execution of its seasonal theme and just has sort of a breezy feel to it thanks to all of the nature locales, the comically incompetent villain, and the use of a supporting cast who largely just feel like normal people. The supporting cast was also a strength in Futari wa, but these personalities seem to work especially well with the tighter and more informal nature of the community in Splash Star.

OK, I know I'm kicking the Hyouka discussion beehive here, but this is not a good image. Putting aside the obnoxiously overdone lens flare and the off-kilter for off-kilter's sake camera angle, the lines are just a mess. Our eye goes from the helicopter in the distance to Oreki's head to solar flare to the giant distorted bike wheel in a series of increasingly larger circles, and rests upon this bike wheel as the most important object in the frame because it is the largest. Now, this might be some very meaningful bike wheel, but as it is framed, it looks like an object awkwardly deposited into the image. If we instead decide to trace a line by following the gaze of the figures we get this crooked line from where Chitanda's head appears to be (or really, her ass, because that's the part of her we see that's positioned towards Oreki), to him, to the helicopter.
Running against the line I just mentioned is the horizon line created by the buildings in the background, and that one is problematic because of the perspective chosen. If a more traditional angle would have been chosen, this line could give us a sense of the ground, and how the figures are bound to it even as they gaze at the sky. However, because they opted to look at the scene from foot-level and at an angle to the ground, the buildings look like they're just floating randomly across the expanse of the sky, and the figures and objects in the foreground look like they're simply fellow travelers heading in the opposite direction.
And again, this is ignoring the monstrosity that is the giant lens flare plopped down in the middle of the frame.
Proud you avoided the 'hoppy spring' pun.
Splash Star looks kind of neat with the nature setting. Its a breath of fresh air.
I have to make it through Max Heart first though.
Then probably followed up by the rest of K-ON!! to rinse out the awfulness, and then follow up with another dose of either Precure or Sailor Moon. See I plan ahead!
Lack of Muromi can only mean that this isn't a serious list.
Bored, so I'm posting my Spring Watch List again, with more details this time. Share yours too and we can bond together over what terrible cartoons we'll be watching next season.
Most Anticipated
Majestic Prince - Action comedy mecha series with awesome CG by Orange and hopefully hilarious and :firehawk writing by Reiko Yoshida. Looks to be the most interesting and unique show in the season, and I fucking love the designs.
My Little Pony - It's the first season of MLP but in Japanese. I don't see how it can get any better. Oh wait, it can, hopefully the SONGS are dubbed too! ^_^
Pretty Anticipated
Gargantia - I liked the FMA Milos movie, and Murata seems to be a pretty capable director. Not sure if Butch can deliver a light hearted fun adventure story, but the visuals look pretty damn good. Really colorful backgrounds, pleasent character designs, etc. Could be really fun.
Attack on Titan - The manga fucking rocks, the trailer looked good, and it should have plenty of budget. Unless something goes terribly wrong, it should be pretty fun. Unfortunately since its Araki, and Wit Studio is brand new, lots of things could go wrong. Lol.
Will Probably Be Fun
Devil Survivor 2 - Mai Waifu Game Adaptation. Airi is mai waifu. All of you have to take other waifus. Not expecting much from this show other than Airi-Mai-Waifu and Operation Box. That should be enough to entertain for 13 episodes at least.
Valvrave - Aniplex presents NotGundam - from the creators of Gundam. Love the director, not so hot on everything else. The OP/EDs alone should be killer though. Seems totally safe but will probably not be a disaster.
Yuyushiki - Moe girls doing cute things. Slice of life comedy. Potentially bad. Will watch because Code:Breaker was good. Hope Kinema Citrus can deliver another solid series from uninteresting looking material.
The Pit of Horror
Aku no Hana - This could be really special or really "special". No one is sure yet, but rotoscoping is never a good sign. At least the backgrounds should be nice. Hopefully I don't want to punch the main character in the face too much. Will watch for dresden.
Photo Kano - The only reason I'm watching this show is because of the director. The premise seems awful, the games it is based on seem borderline criminal, and everything about this project seems stupid. But it's Yokoyama + Madhouse. I have to give it at least one episode before bailing out.

Poor Kyōko -- Rum Raisin ranked just outside of the top five of some Japanese survey on favorite Haagen-Daas flavors. Probably hampered by the fact that it isn't a standard flavor.
http://news.mynavi.jp/news/2013/03/18/049/index.html
(Oh, the top five were vanilla, cookies & cream, strawberry, green tea, and chocolate brownie.)

what's it going to take to get someone to actually watch the fantastically insane Yu-Gi-Oh Season 0
WHAT'S IT GOING TO TAKE
I toad myself that I'd resist grasping the low-hanging fruit no matter what.
Do you like rum raisin?
Nozoki Ana OVA 1
I gave this a good 6~ minutes before I ended up skipping through it due to how shitty the budget was thanks to the bad animation and awful voices that sounded like they were recorded with some cheap $10 desktop mic. It's pretty much a clip collection of sex scenes from the manga but with all the awful squelching noises one can expect from most modern hentai series that make everyone sound like they've drowned in a bathtub full of lube. They also didn't include the legendary NTR BONER SCENE so this is pretty much worthless.

I tried it once solely because of the show. Wasn't terrible or anything, but I do prefer other flavors.
Eh, close enough, too lazy to add the 'u'.
Well, sorry.
I would like to hope that I can provide information about my own self with 100% accuracy, at least.oops you just answered a question
I dunno, judging from the only anime footage we've seen so far... it looks as creepy as the games! >_<

We love ya Arti. Your news stuff is very informative and you are a great addition to this forum.
Oh, that's what I'd forgotten.
REVISED LIST
Majestic Prince / could be fun; Yoshida; I liked Orange's work on CG: Akito
Valvrave / Kou Matsuo; a competent Gundam-lite could be fun
Gargantia / great design work; liked Milos
Photo Kano / Yokoyama has a slight chance of saving this turd
Yuyushiki / why not
Muromi / yoshihara never exactly stood out to me but the premise reminds me of Mermaid Bride and why not
Yahari / brains base seems fond of rescuing shitty projects (SenColle; Ixion) so i'll give one ep a try why not
Devil Survivor 2 / could be fun why not
Aku no Hana / the best; nagahama is awesome; i like the manga; bold new future of rotoscoping; don't come crying to me when Mushishi 2 is rotoscoped with CG faces
Yamato / basically firehawk12 hype
Attack on Titan / manga is great and the PV was cool
Azazel-san Z / Mizushima is awesome and i loved the first season
(possibly datealive/oreimo) / i dont even know
Regulus Tera
Romanes Eunt Domus
Sweet Ikuhara. Anime of the fucking year.
Now the just need to cancel the show too.30 minutes until the My Little Pony conference starts in Japan! Too bad they cancelled the livestream!
Replacing the OP is an automatic improvement!
Let's dispense with the tiresome act of pretending to be above the show then secretly watching it.Now the just need to cancel the show too.
Urrmm... its a big bait and switch...? Yeah that's it. I'll go with that
RIP Madhouse
It's also all still largely redundant as long as someone else is paying attention to the same sources (which they usually are), but whatever.
Anyway, what the hell is the 紫いも flavor? Taro?

What's truly scary about the Ponypocalypse is that now the doujin work is gonna come en masse. We are not ready for the end of times.
We? Not all of us have been oblivious to what has already been going on.
