Just thought I would post it here, since this season seems extremely promising, overall:

I don't see anything that particularly appeals to me, at least series-wise. :-/ (Then again, there was a lot of stuff this season that I thought was going to be good and ended up not that great, so maybe my instincts are just off).

My most anticipated anime are Uchuu Kyoudai and Sakamichi no Appolon.

KIKANSHA THOMAS HELL YES

but really: I'm surprised Phi Brian is getting its second season so soon. The first season isn't even done, wtf. But hey, whatever, the show sucks but for some reason I adore it anyway. I CAN FEEL THE PUZZLE, IT WANTS TO BE SOLVED! IT DOESN'T WANNA KILL PEOPLE ANYMORE!

but yeah, this is better than Winter at least, considering that the only shows I'm watching atm are spillovers from Fall season (I'm saving another till it's done, then we'll see if it's good or not :V). I'll definitely be watchin Fate-Zero P2 and Phi Brain S2 (Don't judge me). Might watch a few of the other shows after they've gotten a few episodes so I can judge em and check em out. Also, whenever Mirai Nikki finishes I could start watching that (same for Another, though I hear mixed reviews on that one)


Also: Sankarea's main character is named "Chiharu Furuya", I just think it's amusingly close to "Chihayafuru"  :-X

Mind if I put that on my first post? I suck at uploading images in forums, it came out hard to read when I tried x.x.

@Akonyl: Phi Brain has been receiving very good reviews, actually. I'm thinking about starting  ;D

Expectations for this season:
Spoiler:
Almost guaranteed/Most anticipated

Uchuu Kyodai
The manga is epic in all possible ways, so this is officialy my most anticipated series.

Sakamichi no Apollon
No need for explanations here, this is gonna be awesome (I like Uchuu Kyodai's manga better though).

Eureka Seven AO
The original is one of my favorite animes of all time, so I'm really hopeful with this.

Kore wa Zombie Desu ka? OF THE DEAD
Seriously, unlike many people, I absolutely loved the first series, I hope this one is just as good as it.

Nazo no Kanojo X
Hope the adaptation lives up to the awesome manga.

Kuroko no Basket
I love the unrealistic nature of the manga and there is a lot of material to cover.

Accel World
Just read the manga, it's awesome, despite the generic boy meets girls premise.

Might watch

Tasogare OtomexAmnesia
I've been keeping myself from reading the manga(which I hear a lot of good things about) so this is an potential hit for me. I just won't put on guaranteed because I never read the original material.

Hyouka
Kyo-ni, huh. Oh well, I don't think this will be an good mistery at all, but it won't hurt to give this a try. It might turn out to be good.

Jormugand
This reminds of Black Lagoon, enough said.

Sankarea
Honestly, I didn't like the manga as much and I don't see how they are going to adapt this with just a few chapters from the ongoing manga, but the anime might be change it for me, who knows.

Medaka Box
I hated the manga, but I only read 10 or so chapters. I hope the anime changes that for me.

Tsuritama
WTF is this? Confusing enough to intrigue me.


Overall this season is extremely promising, if all animes I pointed turn out to be good, I'm screwed.

Tbh, the biggest downside imo would be the character designs. All in all they seem super uninspired and bland, which has a lot to do with my opinion of the show sucking despite how I adore it. Also on that note, the female protagonist has one of my top hated hairstyles, so  :-X

In one of the more recent episodes, they also present one of the characters with a puzzle that is literally unsolvable, but then the scene cuts away and when it comes back they've completed it, which also just comes across as horribly lazy and made me go "wat :V". I don't mind if they don't wanna make a new puzzle for every little thing that they show, but this one was so blatantly impossible when the showed it that it just made me angry. :P

Also, one of the shows I was planning on checking out was Uchuu Kyodai, so it's good to see it at the top of your list.

I might watch Uchuu Kyodai entirely because I want to continue watching at least 1 new series per season.

The characters desings were the main reason why I dropped after 1 episode.

Uchuu Kyodai's manga is very realistic, one of the many reasons I love it. And it's going to have 48+ episodes, an year run.

You should keep an eye out for Sakamichi no Appolon too.

Hey, no problem :)

I´m expecting Tasagare Otome X Amnesia, has an "Another" aura. And of course, F/Z.

As of the others, I´ll be watching the first eps and decide at the moment :P

I have very limited computer access right now, so I haven't gone through them like I usually do, but I have Hyuoka and Amnesia down as pending from when I went through the list when it first came out. =P

Time to just wait out the season til the end and then hear the great reviews about the best animes.

BTW, was 2011 one of the greater anime years ever?  I haven't seen so many great shows since that 05-06 range.

Also, hi Leokiko lol!
