Fall 2016 Anime

Been enough stuff announced to talk about. I'm not sure if we're still doing that thing where there's a list on the wiki, so I'm dumping everything here:

More typical season this time. Might make up for the rest of the year (...in anime, at least)

As always, feel free to point out anything I missed

Yuri on Ice looks legit. Baby Steps put me in a sports anime mood and if the PV is to be believed the actual figure skating will be a treat. It helps figure skating is already beautiful.

If the characters are as strong as the action, then it would be A+ watching material.

I look forward to Keijo if only for the fact that its Jojos Bizarre Adventure meets boobs and butts, and that there is even a butt version of the the Gate of Babylon in it.

There's also that one white fox magical girl show that has one of Studio triggers action directors attached to it, but I forget which on in that list it is.

Why in the heck isn't Yuri on ice a actually Yuri on Ice? Worst title ever made.

Let's see Sound Euphonium s2, Keijo, Brave Witches are probably the only must watch next season, maybe Vivid Strike too but that project could be a disaster.

Girlish Number, Idol Memories, Long Riders (Bakuon with bikes?), WIXOSS s3, Magical Girl Raising Project, Shuumatsu No Izetta, Soushin Shoujo Matoi, Stella No Mahou, Flip Flappers look ok.

That's the complete list? Seems missing a lot of kids Shonen shows. If it is the complete list then it is going to be a terrible season overall.

Because it's Yuuri, not Yuri. Disappointing nonetheless. >=(

More seriously, looks like it will be a nightmare to animate…

That list is missing Heybot!. I doubt that anyone would pay attention to it, though.

By the way, is there any chance that another dance anime after Tribe Cool Crew and Dream Beat will be made for this fall?

Iron Blooded Orphans second season is the only thing up there I care about, but that's fine.

Oh, Shousin Shoujo Matoi has the Action Director from One Punch Man on it, I think.

Ajin looks interesting

Brave Witches, Hibike! Euphonium, Digimon, and Iron-Blooded Orphans season two are my picks of the season though despite Digimon being one of my oldest fandoms whether I watch the whole thing or not depends on how it relates to the rest of the franchise. Wixoss is tentative since we still don't know how it relates to the first two seasons, if at all, yet.

Some notes and personal thoughts:

Classicaloid is directed by the Gintama/Osomatsu-san guy

Drifters got an OVA release of the first 2 episodes (slightly cut down), and I really can't say I'm looking forward to it. Dubious animation, the whole thing felt over-long, a washed-out colour pallet that missed one of the best features of Hirano's art, and a lot of terrible comedy

Flip Flappers looks interesting, kind of old-school, kind of like classic Gainax/Trigger decided to make a magical girl series. Not necessarily good (I already hate the robot), but interesting

Idol Memories looks to be aimed straight at the older fans of Aikatsu. I wonder if this will work

Shuumatsu no Izetta is the non-Gundam show I'm looking forward to the most. Partially for the yuri potential, but it also just sounds interesting

This is basically a list I got from somewhere else plus some other shows I remembered being announced. Might be some kids shows that slipped through the cracks. It's usually spring that's heavy on them, though

I can't wait for more Natsume to chill with.

Usually, I'll be waiting for Random Curiosity's preview (as they have detailed posters, PVs, additional info on anime OAVs/movies and such), but at this point I'm sure to watch:

• Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans season 2 - Time to raise those flags again...
• Brave Witches - After seasons of gun girls, tank girls, and moe navy shows, it's time to go back to the moe air force anime that started it all...

EDIT: With RC's Fall 2016 preview out, I can add a few more shows to try:

• ViVid Strike - While I'd still rather have a continuation to the first season of ViVid, I find no harm in checking this out despite most likely being a sidestory/someone completely different.
• Watashi ga Motete Dou Sunda - Oddly enough, the official website for this show has a similar name to another Watamote. That being said—and fujoshi main character aside—the general impression I'm getting out of this show is similar to The Wallflower.

Will update this viewing list once RC gets their preview out...

Gag comedy. Probably shorts

Male idols

Bit disappointed Magical Girl Raising Project isn't a Magical Girl anime from the parent's perspective.

Would be a neat premise.

More Working

OMG AOTS right there.

...what the heck is Vivid Strike anyways? Nanoha spinoff??

Seems so. A few Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha ViVid character appear in it. But the main focus is not on them, probably

All we have is a name, key visual, and staff/cast list. Some reasonable assumptions tell us that it's a Nanoha spinoff, probably taking place some time after Vivid

Anyone here going to watch Drifters?

I think it looks interesting enough to give it a try.
