I started adding english translations in the winter list, to stop the engish-elitists from edit-warring over the single title's official Japanese and it's translation, that could have led to bluelinking unofficial fan-translated titles.
Now the red and blue links are all in Japanese, but they also get their translations along with it.
I don't speak Japanese, so when I opened the Summer thread, I couldn't add any english titles yet, and later I didn't look into information on them. It seems like someone else did, at least for a few titles.
Everyone is free to complete or fix them if you can.
Found another Fall 2012 Anime to add to the list: Sakurasou No Pet Na Kanojo

JC Staff is the studio, Mari Okada is the writer, and the director also directed the anime of Supernatural.
Apologies for the double post. Found a couple things of interest.
Dakara Boku Wa H Ga Dekinai premieres on July 6th.

And Square Enix is one of the producers of the confirmed for Fall 2012 Anime, Chou Soku Henkei Gyrozetter. A-1 being the studio means that it is going to look great at least. And Shoji Kawamori being one of the people doing mechanical designs is always a plus.

I don't think so. It's basically a sort of Pokemon Games/Anime thing in principal, they're trying to create something that is Merchandise-Driven and can become successful.
See?

Infinity...Guys, Kingdom aired and got subbed when we weren't looking. Anybody care enough to watch it?
Infinity...I've been waiting for someone else to watch Kingdom to see if it might be worth checking out >_>
Anway, I've updated the list with some more airdates. I'm seriously wondering about Arve Rezzle, though; despite the announcement of seiyuu being cast back in March there hasn't been anything since, even a website
@Arve Rezzie: Really? Maybe the project has been canned or pushed back, we'll know once the season is actually about to start/up and running.
@Kingdom: Seriously, no one? At all?
Infinity......
Did it look like anything other than generic Shonen/Period piece?

Infinity...Bile Fascination means that I've now seen the first six minutes or so. It's... pretty much incompetent in every possible way
Yeah, if I wanted to watch generic shonen, I'd stick with Saint Seiya Omega. Which I am. Because it's fun.
What's precedent ever done for us?Well thanks to you guys I've now watched the first one minute...
Yuck. Is that CGI? Man this is one ugly series. Purely based on the aesthetics of this show, it's terrible.
Dull character design, uncanny valley, animation that doesn't flow, unnatural physics.
And I say this as someone who was expecting the story to be the letdown of this show. I try not to judge things on their art either but there it is.
Which isn't to say the show isn't boring and poorly written; It's that as well.
There you are then. One ounce of bile fascination is worth at least twice as many good reviews.

Apparently Funimation is simulcasting Kingdom.
... Really? Kingdom?
Well, their choice, not mine.
Don't mind me. I'm just a creepy little lurker.Of all the things they could simulcast...
Speaking of which, agreed on the animation. It's really creepy.
Infinity...Speaking of Arve Rezzle, ZEXCS is saying that it is an OVA:

Definite Watch:
- Dog Days'
- Jinrui Wa Suitai Shimashita
- Kokoro Connect
- Sword Art Online
- Yuru Yuri ♪♪
Maybe Watch:
- Arcana Famiglia
- Ebiten
- Joshiraku
- Koi To Senkyo To Chocolate
- Kono Naka Ni Hitori Imouto Ga Iru
- Natsuyuki Rendezvous
- Tari Tari
This could be a busy season.
~Cute and fluffy romance for all!~

So I have a few questions about the title translations we have on our lists. Specifically: Why are they there in the first place? Why are they only on a few titles instead of all of the (Japanese) titles? Why is the translation quality so often dubious?
