Spring 2014 Anime Season

[Deleted]

What is everyone looking forward to this coming anime season?

anichart.net/spring has a listing

Personally, I will be checking out the first episode of anything Crunchyroll gets but I think these shows look interesting

Hanamonogatari
JoJo - Stardust Crusaders
New La Corda d'Oro
Love Live! Second season

All continuations of shows I've already seen, so they are a must.

Maybe also...

Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei
Gokukoku no Brynhildr
Black Bullet

I will also be continuing
Nisekoi

[Capsule]

My list is very small, as per usual:

• Akuma no Riddle
• JJBA: Stardust Crusaders

You should continue with Monogatari... just don't do like I did and take HUGE breaks in between. Some characters show up later who were introduced in passing here and there and I could barely remember them.

What is Akuma no Riddle about?

I'll get to it...eventually. <.<

And Akuma no Riddle is an action/yuri about one of several assassins that infiltrates a private school to target a student, but ends up protecting her instead. I don't know much about it beyond that.

This season actually looks like it has some interesting animes, but I'm still unsatisfied with the fact that there hasn't been a second season of Accel World. @-@; However, I'm unsure if there'll actually be one.

For me, I'll probably look into watching these;

> Black Bullet

> Blade & Soul

> Break Blade

> Captain Earth

> Date A Live II [Finally]

> Hanamonogatari

> Hitsugi no Chaika

> Kenzen Robo Daimidaler

> Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei

> Majin Bane (Only if the first episode doesn't suck)

> Mekaku City Actors

> No Game No Life 

> Seikoku no Dragonar

> Sidonia no Kishi

I am a busy otaku these days.

> Blade & Soul

Why am I not surprised?

So far I have checked out

The World is Still Beautiful
One Week Friends
La Corda d'Oro - Blue Sky
Kamigami no Asobi

--

The World is Still Beautiful was a little awkward to start and there's an odd naked boy butt scene in the ending theme BUT I think it's going to be good. It's about a Princess from the poor Rain country who travels to the Sun Kingdom to marry the tyrannical King.... only to find out he's just a kid. There seems to be a lot of plotting behind the scenes and magic-y type powers.

One Week Friends is gonna be one those... feelings... shows. It's about a girl who loses a very specific part of her memory every week and, as such, cannot make friends. One boy decides to be her friend anyways. Feelings, lots of feelings. But, good.

La Corda d'Oro - Blue Sky is a pretty same reverse harem. I am a fan of the first La Corda d'Oro and would have preferred a series with the same characters all over again. You really don't seem to have needed to have seen the first La Corda d'Oro... just know there's a magic music fairy. There's A LOT of guys this time around, if the opening is any suggestion but there seems to be a "main group" of them. There's a lot of pretty music to listen to and hopefully it is as enjoyable as its predecessor. Some minor issues with the animation.

Kamigami no Asobi... hahaha, teeehee, bahahaha... what a ridiculous anime! I don't think it was supposed to be funny. It's a reverse harem as well. A girl with a weird hair cut is transported to another world by Zeus to teach the other, younger, gods how to love humans. They are ALL introduced with flowers sprouting from their heads in typical shiny fashion. There was also some weird magical boy transformation scene where you ALMOST see his wee-wee, but nope, magic clothes appear. This one might be fun to watch just because it's going to be silly.

Other than JoJo, not much else for me as well. Maybe Captain Earth. All I know is it has a giant robot, it MIGHT be good, I dunno >.> Stardust Crusaders was always my favorite part of the JoJo story, while Jotaro isn't as cool as Joseph then in my opinion, it was the true essence of a Bizarre Adventure, with the strangest and quirkiest of circumstances occurring on their noble globe-trotting mission to stop a centuries-old vampire from destroying the Joestar bloodline as well as the rest of the world. I really look forward to its anime adaptation c: Although I do hear of a new Gundam show coming out later this year: Reconquista in G, alongside the movie tetralogy Gundam the Origin, the first film shedding some light on the backstory of the infamous Red Comet, Char Aznable AKA Casval Deikun, and the events that took place before the start of the One Year War. I hope those two hold up well.  

Also Saber, you should probably steer away from those two. Blade & Soul and Seikoku no Dragonar don't look like they'll be that great. All I know about the first one is that it's based on a Korean MMORPG, so that's the end of that story. And the second, there's lots of girls and a Tsun loli dragon that's in cahoots with the main protag at a school that teaches kids how to fly on dragons, with stupid magical circle bullsh*t in front of their faces every time they attack. If this is reminiscent of Zero no Tsukaima, then I guess I could understand how YOU would like it >_>

5 Titles have caught my interest:


-Black Bullet: The synopsis gave me sort of a Guilty Crown feel. Thought the first episode lowered my hopes of this being a good anime, as the catastrophe kinda seems to take the classic "monsters invading modern city with protagonist being one of the only ones able to defeat them" plot. Chances are I'll drop it within the next two episodes.

-Fairy Tail 2: Well, starting back. And seems like they're going toward some major plot twist.

-Isshuukan Friends: I'm not a fan of school, non-fantasy settings, but I like the twist they gave to this story.

-Soul Eater Not!: I loved Soul Eater, so of course I'd watch that one. Thought for now, we only know the setting, not where the plot is heading.

The Irregular at Magic High School: I watched the first episode, and it seems promising. I got hooked up after seeing the first action scene. But again, we only know the setting, not where the plot is heading.

I'e checked out pretty much everything Crunchyroll has this season...

The Kawai Complex - This MAY work for me depending how original it handles a not original at all plot. It's about a boy who is finally living on his own and he moves into a little housing unit. Except he's not living alone, he's rooming with a pervert. This cute girl lives in the building too. Rom-Com ensues, I'm sure.

The Irregular at Magic High School - This one is kind of... stiff, but I think it has some potential, I'll watch a few more episodes.

The Comic Artists & His Assistants - Not for me at all. Just a not funny ecchi series. Panty shots and sexual harassment galore here.

No Game, No Life - At least worth seeing a few episodes. Two hikkikomori siblings are transported to another world where everything is decided by games. The first episode involves them being all around better than everyone despite just arriving.

Love Live 2 - It's Love Live. If you liked the first one, check out the second one. Not much more to say.

Brynhildr in the Darkness - I have mixed feelings here, I'll at least watch one more and see.

Blade and Soul - The first episode was kind of interesting but I can see it downgrading fast if it focuses too much on the boobs and butts thing.

Black Bullet - I like it so far, it seems a bit cliche but I don't want to judge it too soon.
