Crunchyroll is going to be streaming Muv-Luv Alternative: Total Eclipse. I will probably marathon it when it finishes. Sounds like it could be an action-packed mecha series for Summer. Streaming date and countries TBA.

So, is it safe to assume Blood Lad got cancelled?

Don't mind me. I'm just a creepy little lurker.

I sort of want a tally of all the different versions of the Warring States Period (or using the people from that time period as main characters) that have made it into anime... just so I can see how many times they have been gender-flipped. I can think of three (including [up]) off the top of my head.

Sengoku Basara's Oda Nobunaga still has to be the Big Bad of all of them, though. cool

Will definitely watch:

  • Campione - literal god-slayer in the middle of a harem. Must-see for me.
  • Dakara Boku Wa H Ga Dekinai - Rias Gremory but with several cup sizes smaller has to use a horny high school boy's libido to exist on this world, thus he can't even be pervy anymore.
  • Dog Days' - Sequel, sequel!
  • Hagure Yuusha No Estetica - I'm very curious to see why our protagonist took home an evil overlord's daughter with him - spoil of war, or something else?
  • Kono Naka Ni Hitori Imouto Ga Iru - Sibling hijinks. Worth my attention.
  • Kyoukai Senjou No Horizon II - another sequel!
  • Oda Nobuna No Yabou - I'm a sucker for heroes getting pulled into / abruptly introduced to another world.
  • Rinne no Lagrange 2 - this is the 3rd sequel for the season, and I loved all three I've listed so far.
  • Sword Art Online - Accel World prototype, eh? Sure, let's dive in!

Will check out:

  • Ebiten - I'm betting our male protagonist will have a female seiyuu. Let's see if the humor holds our attention.
  • Koi To Senkyo To Chocolate - high school politics, huh?
  • Muv-Luv Alternative: Total Eclipse - haven't played the game, read some manga adaptations, so I've got no expectations of this one save for the mecha.
  • Tari Tari - is on the tentative list because I'm afraid of overdosing on schoolgirls with no male love interests (I'm looking at you, Winter 2012).

Still finishing: a whole lot of shows from Fall 2013 and Winter 2014.

Okay, everything on the list has an air-date now. And unlike the last few seasons, all airdates are sane. Don't know about episode counts yet, though

Probably almost everything is 11-13 episodes, given that summer tends to be a half cour just like winter.

Maybe Muv Luv or Sword Art Online, or Kokoro Connect are exceptions. (because these look like they will have some elaborate plot.)

The season has been becoming an increasingly unreliable way of telling how many cours things are. Beyond that, we've been getting all kinds of weird episode counts lately

Kore Wa Zombie Desu Ka certainly had an oddly small amount of episodes. Ummm. Can't think of any others of the top odd my head.

Hyouka is 22, AKB 0048 is 21, Ozma was 6, and Black Rock Shooter was 8. Possibly others that I don't recall

I though 0048 was 13 episodes?

No wonder the pacing is so slow ...

Arcana Famiglia will have 12 episodes according to its official site(and Countdown): http://www.arcanafamiglia.com/product/index.html

And we know that Sword Art Online will be 2 cours, and I saw a translation of a Japanese site that had it at 25 episodes but I don't know how reliable the site is.

Tari Tari will have 13 episodes http://www.animax.co.jp/special/non-scramble/

Still hoping for a simulcast of it, since that seems to be my most anticipated series of the Summer.

Nothing particularly interesting to me this season. Might check out Binbō-gami ga! since it looks like it could be funny, but comedies never hold my interest.

Horizon II will have 7 English-subbed BDs/DVDs(from Bandai Visual like the first season), and the first volume is 1 episode so Horizon II will have 13 episodes

Dumb question: Can we put theatrical anime movies on the Anime Season pages or is it just televised anime only?

Cause I remember some people put in OVAs.
