@the blog thing: THIS GUY HATES BUILD FIGHTERS FUCK THIS SHIT I'M DONE READING *smite*
but HOW?I share the same sentiment with you.
The previews used to at least list anime of kids, but they didn't appear this time. I'm need some preview opinions to choose between Kaitou Joker and Tribe Cool Crew. I like both of the premises and artstyle, but because of other commitments I could only choose one of them. On the other hand, other anime that I'm viewing the next season are:
- Aikatsu! season 3
- Yowamushi Pedal GRANDE ROAD
- Girlfriend (Beta)
- Gundam Build Fighters Try
- Gundam Reconguista In G
- Rage of Bahamut Genesis
- Psycho-Pass 2
The third alternative type,is the Magical Girl genre where there's lesbian undertones that attract older people.
Watch SymphogearRead: sexually assaults her, but it's okay, because he didn't really mean it, he was just trying to teach her dumb female ass a lesson about staying safe.
Worst shoujo trope ever.
@KSPAM xmany: I'm going out on a limb here and blame Oreimo for Light Novels' reputation.
That's… not really fair. I mean, yeah, that series is influential, but it also doesn't have that much in common with the kind of general LN formula we're seeing nowadays.
To be fair to the shoujo anime demographic, the whole X/Tokyo Babylon saga was written with teenage girls as the target audience. Ditto Revolutionary Girl Utena, which basically turns that whole trope on its head in the wildest way possible.
To be unfair, I have been quoted as saying that shoujo is fluff, josei is debauchery, and the only thing between them is yaoi.
I'll hide your name inside a word and paint your eyes with false perception.There's Pretty Cure, which is also shoujo mixed with Seinen elements.
Watch SymphogearI find it dubious when someone mentions shoujo and seinen in the same breath.
I'll hide your name inside a word and paint your eyes with false perception.The Seinen elements are fights.
Like insane Dragon Ball esque fights
Sample:
Yes, this is still classified as a little girls show in japan.
Watcha talking about, Willis?

Watch SymphogearNot quite sure that counts as Seinen. Shonen fits that description a bit better imo.
Dragon Ball esque fights don't make something seinen. Because, you know, Dragon Ball itself is one of the most iconic shounen.

The official marketing papers lists the franchise as being aimed at 4 to 12 year old girls and...... 18 to 36 year old guys.
Watch SymphogearWhy are we talking about this?
Because shoujo was brought up, that's why.
Just following along, I guess.
Plus everything announced fro fall has been announced, so thers nothing much to talk about until the first show of the season (Terra Formars) premiers.

Watch SymphogearWhile probable, there's been last-minute announcements before. I recall Area No Kishi getting announced around a week before the season started
Even if that was true (there's PVs, previews, list-making...), there's still no call to go off-topic
Anyways, Parasyte seems to be The Hype of the season.
Hype train engaged. I'm just wondering how they're gonna handle the penis scene
I've got new mythological machinery, and very handsome supernatural scenery. Goodfae: a mafia web serialAll right, its list time.
Definitely Watching:
- Fate/Stay Night
- Hitsugi no Chaika Season 2
- Psycho-Pass 2
Will Definitely Check out:
- Cross Ange Tenshi to Ryuu no Rondo
- Danna Ga Nani O Itteiru Ka Wakaranai Ken
- Garo Honoo No Kokuin
- Gundam Reconguista In G
- Inou Battle Wa Nichijoukei No Naka De
- Parasyte -the maxim-
- Terra Formars
- World Trigger
Possbily (as usual depending on how much of the above I stick with and availability):
- Madan no Ou to Vanadis
- Nanatsu No Taizai
- Ore Twin Tail Ni Narimasu
- Shirobako
- Sora No Method
Will watch:
- Parasyte: Frankly, I'm way too young to ever hear of the manga, but I hear it's pretty swell. It's on this list because I love Body Horror and this is the shit Cronenberg has nightmares with.
- Gundam Build Fighters Try: IT'S GUNDAM, GODDAMMIT!
- Gundam Reconguista In G: See above.
- Psycho Pass 2: All hail based Urobutcher.
- Fate/Stay Night: Studio DEEN is a demonic blob of misery sent to prey on the joy of the living. I'm going to see this and enjoy it solely based on how much their adaptation sucked.
- Mushishi: Mushishi is the best anime of all time. OF ALL TIME!
Will give try.
- Rage of Bahamut Genesis: MAPPA is shaping up to be an awesome studio; the thing Madhouse could've been if they didn't go to shit. The fact that their animation on Kids on the Slope and Zankyou no Terror is the closest thing television will ever get to having sex with the viewer's eyeballs convinced me to watch this even if I don't necessarily like the premise. Maybe it'll end like another Guilty Crown and have a show that it's bags of shit glued together by its amazing battle scenes and music.
- Garo: Honoo no Kokuin: More MAPPA.
- Inou Battle Wa Nichijoukei No Naka De: Fucking LN harem bullshit gragleblarge. But, it's based Trigger we talkin' 'bout here.
- Sora no Method: I love Kanon. The fact that it's by the same writer grants an automatic promotion to this tier.
- World Trigger/Seven Deadly Sins: I like shounen.
- Akatsuki no Yona: Why? I don't know. The PV stuck with me for some reason and it still occupies my thoughts for the last five days or so, along with tits, soapy wank and the feasibility of suicide. May as well watch the goddamn show and see if it's absolute wank or another Medaka Box-like underrated anime that I like but no one else does.
Unlikely, but may still happen.
- Shirobako: Cute girls doing cute things hur hurr. But it's cute girls doing manga! OK, you managed to interest me a little.
- Cross Ange: Yay mecha! But if it's another fanservice blob, I'm going to fucking punch someone.
- Ronia the Robber’s Daughter: The CG models are in constant rape face mode. I'll see it mostly to poke fun at it.
- Laughing Under the Clouds: Mostly to see how a studio known for moe series will do a series about historical Japan. And, if it fails, to poke fun at it.
- Electric Town Bookstore Worker: The PV has a reference to Kuso Miso Technique. 'Nuff said.
- Ore Twin Tail Ni Narimasu: You know what? The problem with anime today is fucking L Ns. The fuckers just [LN rant deleted.] But I'll still watch half an episode.
All in all, this is gonna be good.

Why all the LN hate?
I've got new mythological machinery, and very handsome supernatural scenery. Goodfae: a mafia web serialI actually like some LN and LN adaptations, like High School Dx D, mainly because of Issei Motherfuckin' Hyodo, Badass Incarnate. But on the other hand, L Ns are fucking shitstain upon humanity grarglebarlbleyadda [incomprehensible rage noises].
I just wasn't grabbed.

It is, and it's an entirely valid thing to link to. But there's no need to try to turn it into a discussion
Most of them look mediocre to terrible, but there's enough other stuff that the season itself looks fine
