The Taboo-Tattoo preview has been released

The animation looks pretty terrible... But the artstyle is pretty, I guess.

Is BOINC eating my graphic card or the show really is dropping frames like crazy?

Dang, none of these look all that interesting. Relife looks like it has potential, and after Bakuon!! I'm hopeful that the scuba one will be decent, but other than that... It looks like it's going to be a boring summer.

The Scuba one is from the same mangaka as who did Aria and has very much the same feel to it, with the exception that scuba diving is her hobby and she's keen to share the details of it; indeed a bit like Bakuon! and motorcycles.

That sounds nice. I liked Aria, even if I didn't stick with it.

The staff behind the Amanchu anime are pretty experienced too, so I think it should be in good hands.

Wait, Amanchu! getting an anime?

I was considering killing myself, but I guess I will have to wait.

Looks like I will be waiting for 91 Days which looks nice and maybe Qualidea Code and Taboo Tattoo. I am somewhat considering trying Servamp but I am a bit hesitant considering the ridiculous amount of pretty boys in the cast (and one female character whom fights with puppets which is actually quite interesting).

For my list, not counting continuing series

Definitely Watching:

• Berserk (2016)
• Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA☆ILLYA 3rei
• The Heroic Legend of Arslan: Fuujin Ranbu
• Shokugeki no Soma: Ni No Sara

May Watch

• Active Raid 2nd

Will Check out the first couple of episodes and decide from there

• Ange Vierge
• Mob Psycho 100 (only because of the author)
• Qualidea Code
• Regalia The Three Sacred Stars
• Taboo-Tattoo

Long Shots

• Fudanshi Koukou Seikatsu
• Scared Rider Xechs

Literally my entire list is continuations. Namely:

• Shokugeki no Souma: I gave the first season a 10 out of 10. Let's see if the second season will be just as good in half the episodes.
• Love Live! Sunshine!!: I never finished the original series because I've heard bad things about the ending but with a new batch of girls I'm hoping the studio has learned from that and that this series will have a better ending.
• Fate/Kaleid Liner Prisma Illya 3Rei!: I watched the first three seasons and while the ending to Herz was disappointing because it was anime original and ruined the tone of the manga's ending hopefully the new season fixes that.
• DANGANRONPA 3 -The End of Kibougamine Gakuen- Mirai Hen: I'm an anime only viewer but I hear of the two Danganronpa anime we're getting that this one should be the easiest for anime only viewers to understand.

A new season of anime, but unfortunately one I don't really have time for...

Watching:

• Berserk: Can't wait to dive into the series again!
• DAYS: MAPPA soccer show? Goal!
• Tales of Zestiria: Will look good at the least.
• orange: As per recommendation.
• Saiki Kusuo no Nan: My comedy for the season.
• Amaama to Inazuma: Ugh that recipe for drama is too good to pass up
• D Gray Man: Forgot where I was in the manga so this will serve as nice refresher.
• Taboo Tattoo: Looks cool.
• Ilya: More action of the twirly swords and explosive spell kind please. Dial down the lesbian loli fanservice.
• Regalia: Seasonal dose of mecha coming right up.
• Kono Bijutsubu ni wa Mondai ga Aru!: Some rom com shizz for chillin'
• 91 Days: The Prohibition Era! Ooooh.
• Time Travel Shoujo: Someone using time travel FOR LEARNING?! Brilliant.
• Qualidea Code: As long as the action is good.
• Danganronpa (both series): Just because it's Danganronpa.
• Mob Psycho 100: Oh man that dopey look on the guy's face :D
• Nanatsu no Taizai: Oooh, original TV special.

Probably not watching:

• Fukigen no Mononokean: Have to hear if it's really good; otherwise not watching what seems to be a serviceable comedy.
• ReLIFE: Has the same trappings as orange, and I'm going with that one.
• Shokugeki no Soma: Probably going to stick to the manga apart from a few choice episodes.
• Love Live! Sunshine!!: No idols for me this season, thanks.
• Hatsukoi Monster: I kind of don't like the sound of that premise...
• Rewrite: Have a feeling this will turn out to be a mess, so not bothering with it til I hear impressions.
• B-Project: Again no idols for me
• Tsukiuta Project: Huh another male idol thing still nope
• Arslan Senki: Haven't finished the first season
• Puzzle and Dragons: A puzzle indeed
• New Game!: The adorable sort of SOL that I would have watch, if only I had the time.
• Show by Rock!: Nope.
• Fudanshi: Not my thing.
• Servamp: Gonna wait for impressions before I think about watching.
• Cheer Danshi: Cheering is like the one sport I like seeing live more than in anime so...
• Masou Gakuen HxH: (-_-)
• Scared Rider Xechs: Might be the show to eliminate the otome game stigma, but I can't be assed to find out.
• Ozmafia: Will most likely not erase the otome game stigma, so, uhhh, thanks for trying.
• Mahou Shoujo? Naria Girls: Actually an interesting premise, but there's enough to make me hesitate to dive in.
• Handa-kun: W Ill binge-watch this some other time.
• Amanchu!: Let me commit sacrilege here: barring the Neo-Venezia setting ARIA has always been just a decent show for me, and I don't have reason to believe Amanchu! will be any more engaging.
• Nejimaki Seirei Senki: War thingy. Will wait for impressions.
• Hitori no Shita: Undead = interest. But not enough.
• Ange Vierge: Cautiously keeping an eye on it.
• Active Raid: Couldn't finish the first season.
• Battery: Meh, baseball.
• Onara Gorou: HAHAHAHAHA okay I'm good

Shit it's still 18 shows oh well let's do this

Well,.. This season certainly isn't as plentiful on the anime I'm interested in as the last one. Anyhow:

Likely:

• Saiki Kusuo no Ψ Nan - sound interesting, but will see where it goes.
• Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya 3rei!! - more Ilya!
• Time Travel Shoujo ~Mari Waka to 8-nin to Kagakusha-tachi~ - have no idea where this one will go, but at least the idea is interesting.

• Re LIFE - I'm not too convinced that I'll like where this one will go, but it is still something I will give at least a try.
• Hatsukoi Monster - pretty much the same as above: many doubts about whether I will find the series to be to my liking.
• Tales of Zestiria The X - it's based on a videogame.
• orange - same as Re LIFE.
• NEW GAME! - will give it a try, but I'm not really expecting that I will end up watching it to the end.
• Qualidea Code - once again, no idea what this will be, but it looks interesting. somewhat.

• Masou Gakuen Hx H - the obligatory ecchi of the season...

P.S. I've heard somewhere that Kuromukuro is 26 episodes long. Anyone knows, whether it will have a break after spring season ends?

Berserk (2016) Shokugeki no Soma: Ni No Sara Active Raid 2nd

That's all I plan on watching this season. Nothing else interests me.

Mob Psycho 100 is better in terms of story then Characterization then One Punch Man by far, though bones didn't go with an updated Yusuke Murata style art but went with the original.

Seems fun.

Will be watching:

• Amanchu! - Huge fan of the manga, will definitely watch.
• New Game! - See above.
• Arslan Senki: Fuujin Ranbu - First season was great. This season being 8 episodes is a bummer, but quality over quantity I guess?
• Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya 3rei!! - I love the manga, though I haven't read it in some time due to crappy scans. ._.
• Active Raid 2nd - First season was fairly entertaining, so I'm gonna continue.
• Amaama to Inazuma - The only "unproven" entry in this section. It sounded good enough, so I'm gonna watch it for sure.

Will check out:

• Re Life - Seems well-received, so I'll give it a shot.
• Tales of Zestiria The X - I did like the Tales of the Abyss anime, and I don't have the console to play this game so...
• orange - Been hearing really good things about this one.
• Saiki Kusuo no Psi Nan - People seem to like it, so I guess I'll have a look.
• Taboo Tattoo - Uhh...sounds questionably interesting?
• Handa-kun - Read the first chapter or so way back, didn't really hook me, but I'll still give it the benefit of the doubt.
• Kono Bijutsubu ni wa Mondai ga Aru! - Not sure why I stopped reading the manga, but maybe I'll actually be able to stick with the anime?
• Qualidea Code - Apparently a lot of greats are working on this, plus LiSA's singing one of the theme songs, so I'm gonna give it a shot.
• Mob Psycho 100 - Been hearing good things about it.

Maybe:

• Love Live! Sunshine!! - Plot sounds *identical* to the original, so I'm very apprehensive about this.

I know they're going to screw up Rewrite, but I have to at least try it.

It looks like Rewrite is going to consist entirely of the new route

...Why?

Well, that saves me some time. Now I know that it's going to be bad right from the first episode.

I'm pretty sure they announced it as being an entirely new route right from the start. Whatever made you think it was an adaptation of the VN?

Iono, I assume I forgot that announcement because I had so little interest to begin with.

Watching

• Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA☆ILLYA 3rei
