Spring 2015 Anime Season

The rest of the Grisaia series is getting a single anime

Not sure what to call this on the list

I think we already knew it was getting a second season, though not whether the second season would be both sequels or just Meikyuu. I'm really not sure how bad the pacing will be, even relative to Kajitsu.

Another LN adaption

Sounds like it might be funny, at least

To the surprise of absolutely no one, the second half of UBW

A KyoAni series about four girls in a music club

Gee, where have I heard that one before....

Aaaaand Kyo Ani is back to making crap.

Eh, the PV is stylish enough that I'm willing to believe it may not be a K On clone

It has Ishihara as director, so at the very least we're getting a good So L that's guaranteed to secure Kyo Ani some cash (as if Free wasn't enough for that). In a more positive note, their choice of instruments are classy as fuck.

Hylarn, add Hello! Kiniro Mosaic to your list. Confirmed for a spring airing thanks to the PV below:

Kiniro Mosaic looks entirely unremarkable; was the original season as bad?

The original season was great. I expect this season to be ass well.

Word. Looks no different to me than any other moeblob series.

Also, where the fuck are their noses?

Cute =/= bad.

re Kinmoza: Nothing deep, just relaxing fun. The sales numbers of the first season definitely surprised many people though, so here we are with season 2.

Also Karen.

You can do this on your own, you know. It isn't hard

Honestly it was kind of mediocre even by CGDCT standards

Speaking of which, wow, we have a lot of them lined up here. And in Winter. 2015 is the year of moe, looks like

Nah, I usually like moeblob series, but this one has no draw to it which I can see. No metaphorical conflict or point of interest.

For science, I watched the first episode of Kiniro Mosaic.

If I were to make a [Trope Name] type parody of CGDCT anime, I fail to see how it would not be the exact fucking thing as Kiniro Mosaic.

In my opinion, Moe only works when it's not the primary focus of your work. It's like chips. Your chips may be delicious, but at some bloody point you have to bring me some meat.

You're looking for metaphorical conflict in a Kirara 4koma series? Seriously? Especially this one, which I need to remind everyone ended in a musical number from out of nowhere about the Little Mermaid?

Heck, the author admitted that the series was designed around "I want cute blondes!"

Kinmoza isn't from Forward either(which DOES handle plot-structured stuff; see Dream Eater Merry or Hanayamata), which means you're not going to be seeing much gravitas to it either — both Kiniro Mosaic and Gochuumon Wa Usagi Desu Ka are from Kirara-MAX.

See the author's comment that the core concept was that she wanted to do a series with cute blondes transferring to Japan.

That did not help at all.in fact, you now made me suspect that there's some ulterior perversion behind it.

I'm pretty certain the main character has a fetish for blondes, but there's no fanservice that I recall

Shino in Kiniro is kinpatsu-sexual. It just intensifies after Karen transfers in.

And no, no fanservice at all. Not even a pool or beach episode, as I recall, though there was the summer trip to the lakeside. Everything is ridiculously wholesome, ignoring the obligatory Kirara Les Yay.

To clarify - since I should have figured that I'd poorly worded myself earlier - I meant conflict in the same sort of way K-ON has conflict. No-one bares fists or weapons against anybody else, and heck, there isn't even any lasting dislike between anybody, but they do encounter hardships along the way, and troubling events pretty regularly too.

Or to use a less renowned series, One Week Friends from earlier this year had pretty constant "conflict" wherein the main character's jealousy was an issue in almost every episode (and in the ones where it wasn't, there was a bigger conflict to distract him).

Well, it's not really aiming for gravitas. It's just there to be amusing, cute and relaxing. Something like Hanayamata is probably more up your alley.
