I wasn't keeping up with this at all but the presence of Kiznaiver and Luluco has me intrigued.

Also Boku no Hero Academia is premiering so i'll probably watch just to see how they adapted it.

Look like I'm sticking with Magi: Adventure of Sinbad, Boku no Hero Academia, Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress, and Kuromukuro. Far less shows I planned on watching than last season, but then not a whole lot interested me from this season.

Never been a Jojo fan. Just couldn't get into it.

Lets see

Must watch

Maybes

  • Gundam Unicorn, just to see what has changed. Its probably only being aired to promote the new novel which will probably not be covered in this.
  • Tanaka-kun, heard good things about this one but the premise seems meh.
  • Re Zero
  • 12-sai
  • Asterisk 2nd Season, If I can sit through S1 all the way this time, dropped it for stella.
  • Hundred, heard a lot of bad things about it though.
  • Bishoujo Yuugi Unit Crane Game, the WTF status for this makes it at least a check out.
  • Onigiri, After the last MMO anime I am really hesitant.
  • Sakamoto Desu Ga, everyone hypes this up but an anime Gary Stu is a huge huge wtf turnoff. I get enough perfect in every way M Cs from LN adaptations.
  • Shounen Maid, this one could be really creepy.
  • Flying Witch

Honestly its a pretty bad spring season IMO, usually have like 15-20 shows that look interesting but now only 7.

My List for the season

Definitely Watching

  • Macross Delta
  • My Hero Academia
  • Sailor Moon Crystal
  • Sousei no Onmyouji
  • Terra Formars: Revenge

Will give a test run:

  • Ace Attorney
  • Big Order
  • Hundred
  • Kuromukuro
  • Kabaneri Of The Iron Fortress

I honestly don't expect to be finishing everything on this list due to time constraints but I'll want to actually watch some first before narrowing everything down.

I'm looking forward to Hero Academia (well executed standard shounen beng adapted by Bones, should be watchable) and the second season of Concrete Revolutio. Everything else I'll just wait and see how people react.

Aikatsu Stars! and Macross Delta are the only things I'm guaranteed to watch. I'd say Jojo as well but I still need to watch the most recent season and while I was hyped for Ace Attorney when it was first announced the promotional videos have killed my interest in that.

The key visual/promotional images for the other stuff airing didn't really catch my interest enough for me to even both learning more about them so I'll have to wait for RandomC to post about the new shows and hope the screenshots/summaries they use catch my interest as happens damn near every season.

The Spring 2016 for me:

Looking forward to:

  • Koutetsujou no Kabaneri - in it for slaying ugly undead with steampunk tech.
  • Flying Witch - hopefully, the story will be as good as its art.
Maybes:
  • Macross Delta - somehow, this feels too magical-girl-ish for Macross universe to me.
  • Hundred - at least the manga adaptation (the 12 chapters I was able to find) looked more interesting that Infinite Stratos.
  • Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure: Diamond is Unbreakable - even if I haven't seen the previous parts...
  • Boku no Hero Academia - will give it a try, even if manga art style hurt my eyes. Ugh... those ridiculous costumes @academia...
  • Kuromukuro - not sure how giant robots tie in, but the premise seems interesting.
  • Sakamoto Desu ga? - coolness overflow.
  • Kiznaiver - interesting idea, but not to confident it will be executed well.
  • Hai-Furi - girls and sea.
  • Sansha Sanyou

If I'm bored:

  • Gakusen Toshi Asterisk 2nd Season - not really inspired after the 1st season, but, who knows...
  • Re: Zero Kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu
  • Seisen Cerberus: Ryuukoku no Fatalite
  • Onigiri - game adaptations (usually) suck
  • An Happy♪
  • Netoge no Yome wa Onnanoko ja Nai to Omotta?

Wot interests me:

Concrete Revolutio 2 is a given. but need to rewatch the original first.

Bakuon: cute girls riding motor cycles

Bungou Stray Dogs: a Bones animated urban fantasy series.

Flying Witch: might as well call this Kiki's Delivery Service, the television series.

Joker Game looks good: anime original, set before WWII, spy thriller. Only worry is that Japan can be a bit erm revisionist when it comes to examing its own past.

Koutetsujou no Kabaneri: Attack on Titan with zombies.

Kuma Miko: shrine maiden moves to the big city, with her talking bear guardian.

Kuromukuro: P. A. Works 15th anniversary project.

Mayoiga: fantasy teen angst drama with Mari Okada involved, of Ano Hana & Black Rock Shooter fame.

Sakamoto desu ga? Sakamoto is the coolest guy in school and a lot of people are resentful. Cue hijinks. Could be great or insufferable.

But really, who cares about any of this because Macross Δ is on. Idols! Mecha! Love triangles! Missile Swarms! The power of music stopping wars! And a male lead that isn't a complete jackass for a change!

The only three things I can get hyped for are JJBA Part 4 (Seriously, The Jojo series is amazing!!!) Ace Attorney (Objection!!!), and My Hero Academia (It looks pretty off the wall), and some other fourth series I forget the name of.... Sorry, but the rest look meh to me......

Definitely going to watch Jojo, Ace Attorney, and Hero Academia. Might watch Bakuon and Sakamoto too, they're both fairly hilarious.

After checking out the Hundred manga, I think might reconsider watching the anime. Mainly because the heroine is the biggest, most annoying, self-righteous, self-serving, obnoxious twat I've ever seen.

I'll give it a try but if it's anywhere as bad as in the manga, I'll nope right out of there.

Oh yeah, I've read a bit of Sakamoto a while ago, and while it's basically funny I feel like an anime would ruin its pacing and make it a chore to sit through. Doesn't strike me as the sort of series that benefits at all from animation.
