I don't think I was able to finish Narutaru. Can't remember. I think I watched about half of it... three years ago.

Should retry. I have morbid fascination with Gainax Endings.

[up] Well, the anime only covered half of the manga so you saw even less than you thought. It starts making a little sense after about the fourth read-through, but I don't think there are many other people who can survive four read-throughs.

[up] Ah... should not retry then. There's only one series I've reread the manga of more than 3x, and I couldn't even finish Narutaru the first time I tried watching it.

It's probably worth reading once even if it doesn't properly click for you. It's not really that long, either; 12 or 13 volumes(?) and pretty much no filler.

Since the Summer 2013 Anime season now has 4 confirmed series(and 3 of them are gonna be huge), I will start that page.

Monogatari S2 and Sailor Moon are definitely big deals, but which is the third one?

And the presence of Neptunia means there are 2 shows I'm interested in for Summer. 50% is an amazing rate. :p

While it continues to astonish me that people actually care about that, even granting that it's fairly popular, is it really comparable to Sailor Moon in terms of hugeness? Or a sequel to the best selling anime of the previous decade? I never got the impression that it was mega-popular, although maybe I just haven't been paying attention.

Huge may be an exaggeration.

It sounds like it should at least have better production values than that other console wars adaptation, so why wouldn't people at least look forward to it?

Well, personally I'm not looking forward to it because game adaptations are always terrible and in this case the games themselves are also terrible, but that's just my opinion and I won't stop you from looking forward to it if you want to.

However, to claim that something is a "huge deal" implies a certain level of objectivity, at the very least in terms of the known size of the fandom.

I'm not personally looking forward to it either, but until now I hadn't heard it was actually bad.

Consensus on the Neptunia games are that the first game's gameplay sucks, the second one is an improvement in terms of gameplay, but with a rehashed story, and that the third is even better and doesn't rehash the story.

There are still lots of haters, though, and none of that has any bearing toward how the anime will turn out.

That may be so, but I still think it's strange to call it one of 3 "huge deals" of a season containing Sailor Moon and a sequel to Bakemonogatari which both happen to be two historically significant anime, popularity-wise at least. It'd need to be way way more than "not bad" to be on that level.

I was more responding to Ultimately Subjective's post than yours. I also don't think it's a *huge* deal. Definitely not a no-name series, but not huge.

[up][up] I realize that meant to say that I think that to some degree, all three will be successful as I think that Neptunia will sell more than 10k(Monogatari S2 will of course probably do over 40k if not 50k and above. Sailor Moon should be a huge deal for Magical Girl fans) so I will conceed the point that those two(Monogatari and Sailor Moon) deserve to be known as big deals. Personally, I am more looking forward to Neptunia since I really want to see the tsundere PS 3 character.

And the Space Battleship Yamato remake is confirmed to air on TV in the Spring, taking Magi's timeslot http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2013-01-10/5th-yamato-2199-film-tv-premiere-slated-for-april

It will fun to see if Yamato gets streamed in the Spring.

These next two seasons might make up for the.... Lacking... Current season threefold.

Hentai Ouji.... Blah blah... Warawanai neko: A surprisingly appropriate tale... That is incredibly unique and deep...

Really, If you refuse to watch it from the name, you are a fool. (UNLESS the studio really screws up and goes the wrong direction.)

Neptunia: WHY NOT.

Happens to be known as Walrus Jones in other circles.

OMG... Attack On Titan is getting an anime adaptation. And it looks INCREDIBLE. With the Studio 4 C caliber animation and an excellent story to boot, this and Gen Urobuchi's Gargantia are hands-down my most anticipated anime of this year. Are you sure it's going to TV?

Date A Live will have a pre-air broadcast on March 16th before the TV premiere in April https://twitter.com/date_a_info/status/291823883122769921

That is certainly one of the series that interest me. Not sure if my brief synopsis blurb on the Spring 2013 Anime does the series justice though.

Two more confirmed anime for Spring and both have known premiere dates:

The third season of the Pretty Rhythm anime, Pretty Rhythm Rainbow Live premieres April 6. The Pretty Rhythm series is based on a video game( Pretty Rhythm Aurora Dream ) http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2013-01-21/pretty-rhythm-rainbow-live-anime-to-premiere-in-april

There will also be a new Tetsujin 28 short called Tetsujin 28-gou Gao! Not sure if I should link to the Gigantor page or just put the name of this short preceded by the Anime category. It also premieres on April 6th http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2013-01-21/tetsujin-28-go-gao-robot-anime-shorts-to-air-in-april

Dang.

Sailor Moon and Space Battleship Yamato?

The others mentioned would normally be big deals, but they don't come close to comparing to these two shows.

I mean these are cultural icons that managed to break out of the anime getto and achieve widespread acceptance and osmosis.

Everyone knows or has heard about Sailor Moon. General audience comedians crack jokes about it. Yamato isn't quite as big in the US as Sailor Moon, but went even bigger in Japan. Heck, the US Navy Band often plays the Yamato opening when Japanese officials visit.

Seems like Unbreakable Machine Doll is getting an anime. Words cannot describe my joy.
