Well, they alerady have the new Hunter X Hunter anime and Toriko for long-runners that they can put a bunch of filler into.

Hmm... depending on how Accel World and Sword Art Online are handled, those two can last quite a while. It would certainly be interesting to see "alternating seasons" of those two.

Looking back a couple seasons, there are a few shows that could be brought back/continued (ie. Nurarihyon No Mago), but because their original seasons did not have (much) filler, they would not be able to give them the same treatment as Bleach, Naruto, and One Piece without it fealling a little weird.

PS: I would approve if they decided to "do 1 or 2 seasons each year and take a break the rest of the time" with future shows. No Naruto Filler Hell that way.

Just watched Acchi Kocchi. Hilarious and cute.

BTW: When I saw that girl Mayoi somehow I get feelings she will start TRACE-ON things around, is that just me?

So is the Accel World episode that's out still the pre-air version?

I watched Sankarea. I was hoping that it would get through the plot summary on the trope page. It makes me feel kind of ill. I don't like undead at the best of times, but I did kind of want to see the first part play out for some reason (morbid curiosity [lol]).

Oh well, on to Zombie Desu Ka! Which somehow was a little less gross and disturbing. Slightly.

Nope. TV version aired almost twelve hours ago so that version should be out now.

EDIT: Regarding Accel World did episode 2 air on television like it did during the preairing?

So I just saw Accel World. It was kind of weird but I like the premise and set up (Not so much the fighting feel I got). Best thing about it so far? May'n. So I'm just gonna see how it plays out...

Sankarea is weird, but I'll watch a couple more episodes.

Impressions so far:

  • Uchuu Kyodai: Very, very good. Captures childhood dreams and the midlife crisis well. We need more stuff like this!
  • Lupin: Funky art style but otherwise nothing noteworthy in the first episode, except it's sexier than the Lupin anime I used to watch, plus the characters seem cooler somehow. Especially Zenigata.
  • Polar Bear Cafe: Surprise surprise, it's a decent watch. It's, hmmmm, relaxing to watch. My little sister seems to like it so that's more incentive to keep watching.

Gonna watch more later! Well, if my internet is cooperative.

Impressions:

  • Sankarea is surprisingly good. Especially if you take into account that Studio DEEN is doing the show — in fact, the quality is more reminiscent of Shaft or PA Works. The manga isn't particularly hard to adapt, though I wonder where they're going to stop, since the manga is still at around 25 chapters and ongoing.
  • Medaka Box was alright. I never got past the first chapter of the manga (guess I just don't like reading them online or on my computer), so I'd like to see how the anime goes.

are the forums for each show going to be linked to the spring 2012 page, or will we just have to look each one up individually?

It's a wiki. We're not going to stop someone that wants to add the links. I personally am not going to be bothering

Upotte first episode is out, and it's disappointing. The manga had it's creepy moments, but nothing comparable to the constant Male Gaze involving the middle-school-aged protagonists here. I'm not going to watch the next episode.

More impressions:

  • Zetman: Feverish pacing, but it captures the manga well enough, so it's still a nice watch.
  • Natsuiro Kiseki: Four-girls-ensemble show. So yeah. Two of them are having a fight, while the third is being the silent type and one is cheerily goofing off. Nothing's really caught my interest so far: the characters are decent but not notable, and sometimes they act weird ( like when the silent girl stares at and makes an, err, obvious comment about the sky and then everybody does so as well). There's not really anything funny. Admittedly, the conflict between two of the girls is mildly interesting, and then there's the supernatural flying scene at the end, so I'll go on watching.

P.S. Sorry for all that text. I just found Kiseki hard to describe.

Fate Zero: Continues to be Fate Zero. Quite literally; the logo is exactly the same and the episode numbering continues from where it left off

Tasogare Otome X Amnesia: Quite stylish, high production values... and I find the characters and their interactions incredibly annoying

Saki Achiga-hen: Feels a lot like Saki. The characters are different, and not expies or anything, but it's definitely part of the same series. I thought the original was decent enough, but hardly great, so I'll be watching this if I find myself short on other series I'm interested in

Yet more impressions:

  • Mysterious Girlfriend X: I've heard the premise before, but seeing it play out is really weirding me out. Not bad, though.
  • Phi Brain 2: The first season ended on a higher note than it began, and the second season is maintaining that level. For one, the puzzle is interesting right off the bat, there's your typical mysterious evil organization again, but this time with more style, and even the OP and ED are better. I honestly can't recommend this show, but I find it somewhat entertaining and it has some cool ideas thrown in. If you still wanna try it out, then I'd suggest starting off with this. Unless you really really have to know the backstory and everything.

Natsuiro seems to be slice-of-life with fantasy elements. While I don't usually watch slices-of-life I would check this out a bit due to the fantasy element.

Anyway Accel World exceeded my expectations for the first episode, as does Sankarea. Also this week Mysterious Girlfriend X has surprised me. The drool is ero and dusgusting the second time around.

Haiyoru! Nyaruko-san is out and trying compete with Korezom in absurdity (and give it run for its money) It also has Same char. design as haganai (quite cute).

Not intelectual stuff but who care, Its about moe Eldritch Abomination chaneling Morgan Freeman!

I think you mean Gordon Freeman. Morgan Freeman is someone else entirely

Personally, I found Nyarko-san to be watchable, but not much more. May check out the second episode to see if the Cthuga-girl improves things
