Summer 2011

Updated Ro-Kyu-Bu impressions: Probably decent enough if you're a lolicon sports fan. Which I'm not

So I updated the list to include any new airdates and episode counts I could find

I'd like to note that Wikipedia and ANN often disagree, and our listed dates are occasionally a day off of whatever ANN has, so I'm not certain how accurate any of this is

Any word on how many episodes is the 2nd season of Nurarihyon No Mago going to be and how far it'll adapt(assuming it's adapting at the pace of the 1st season)?

Probably somewhere between 24 and 26 episodes, but there's no official word, as far as I could find

Thinking of checking out Ikoku Meiro No Croisee.

I based the airing dates on My Anime List, it tends to be accurate.

Looks like a terrible season following a great one. Wheeee.

Usagi Drop, Bibliotheca Mystica de Dantalian, and No 6 sound interesting, though the latter two could easily do things wrong. Ro-Kyu-Bu! and Manyuu Hikenchou just about summarize everything I hate about the anime industry at the moment.

Also, everything I've heard about Yuru Yuri makes it sound unbearably obnoxious.

Definitely watching Bunny Drop. BakaTest 2 might be a watch too.

Half the thread is posts like this every season. At least wait until the informed previews are out, if not the first episodes

Admittedly, this season looks pretty heavy on the comedy and the mystery, but there's still a fair amount of other stuff, and I'm not sure how they'll develop

For Yuru Yuri, I found it to reasonably good and largely harmless. How the anime turns out will depend on how the studio decides to adapt it

Sequels notwithstanding, we still need trailers for Double J and Uta No Princesama. The latter doesn't even have an image

As an aside, Itsuka Tenma No Kuro Usagi looks terrible

So, how accurate are ANN's episode counts? They have them for most of the series, but I've no idea where they got them, and some of them make me rather suspicious (Nurarihyon No Mago for 12 episodes?)

ANN tend to make everything "12 episodes", because it's easier for them to add episodes than remove them, and that's the minimum length for nearly every series (except Noitamin A shows, but those are easy to spot well in advance).

Watchlist

Yuru Yuri

Mawaru Penguin Drum (OH COME ON, it's Kunihiko Ikuhara!)

R-15!

No. 6

Bunny Drop

Might try some others if I hear good things.

An interesting article about one of the upcoming anime I just found.

Honestly, I found the news to be a bit hilarious.

Coulda sworn I've seen much worse on You Tube...

You Tube has gone downhill since..............I forgot, but trolls flagging videos with 100% removal wasn't this noticeable back in it's early days.

And all the copyright bs mades things even worse...

Not necessarily copyright this time; the PV was pushing the boundaries of ecchi, with tonnes of pantyshots, most of them with noticeable cameltoe

I feel like an idiot for just realizing TV Tropes had a page just for upcoming anime. And a forum just for discussing aforementioned series. At any rate, here's my watch-list for the upcoming summer:

Usagi Drop (my sister is in love with this manga series, so I'm going to see what's so good about it)

No. 6 — I have a weakness for sci-fi, and the pretty thumbnail art hooked me. Also, if you're interested in this series at all, check out Good Haro's translations of the light novels. They're a lot more detailed and interesting than the manga, which is exciting but borders on cliche in its delivery. Also, Haro is one heck of a funny snarker.

Blood C — If Clamp is doing the character designs, I'm definitely in. The off models for Code Geass were comedy gold — not passing an opportunity like this up!

Natsume Yuujinchou — Just because it happens to be one of my favorite series EVRAWR. Unless you're planning on locking yourself into a hermitage without Wi-Fi in the next few months, you should go watch the darn show.

As for "just realizing" that we have a page for upcoming anime, you might note that there are only two seasons that we have done that for. So it is a relatively recent development. The forum threads have been around for a while longer.

You might want to check the stickied list/thread at the top of this forum to see if any of your favorite shows have threads. It is fairly comprehensive/up-to-date at this point. (Yes, I do maintain it and point it out whenever it is reasonable to. Why do you ask? )

I'm vaguely interested in Nekogami Yaoyorozu because FlipFlops did some pretty nice Touhou doujins back in the day. They mixed comedy with drama pretty well and had a nice clean art style. No idea about this particular series, but if their style hasn't changed much it should be decent.

That's why the style was so familiar! It didn't even cross my mind that it was Flip Flops. Thought it was KyoAni.

I've read the first book. It's not fantastic. It's actually pretty dull.

So you are a lolicon sports fan?

I thought I said I didn't think it was very good...

Random Curiosity has their preview up
