AJ's Arduous Autumn Anime Preview 2012

Since Cara is off exploring the world, I've been left in charge of summarising this season's anime... cue slow internet speeds. :sigh: Looking up everything that's due to air in a month or so has been interesting, but it'd be nice if I'm also able to watch them when the time comes. :p:

Good job AJ! I know from experience how time consuming it is to put these posts together - must have been especially arduous given your dodgy internet. Thanks for taking the task on - feels weird not having to do it myself since I've only missed a couple of seasons since 2008 and strangely I enjoy the process!

There are quite a few shows I'm interested in, but since I'll be travelling quite extensively from next week onwards, I won't be able to do my usual routine of sampling everything and watching 20+ shows at once (that's going to be a real trial for my OCD - will be missing the end of this season as well as the start of next season!).

I definitely want to check out Magi, K, Psycho-Pass & Robotics;Notes if I find the time (and internet connection) though. The sequels for Bakuman & Jormungand I can wait to marathon at a later date.....and I'm not sure I want to go anywhere near Manglobe's take on Hayate no Gotoku or JC Staff's attempt at a Key show, but Brains Base's go at a shoujo comedy may be interesting.

The 35 minutes between my first post here and my second were particularly frustrating - the second lot of series just wouldn't post! :mad:

I'm missing the middle of this season right now, but a technician is coming over next Monday to look at our phone line, so hopefully I'll be up to date once this season ends, ready to sample the new stuff. :smile:

Thank you for doing this list AJ. :smile: Will have a look through it now.:beard:

In all likelyhood Little Busters is going to be terrible. Even though it is a Key VN, it has a bad studio and a terrible director behind it. Despite this I'll watch it, just on the slim chance that it'll be decent.

Aside from that

Robotics;notes Steins;gate was amazing, so hoping that this'll be similar in terms of quality
Seitokai no Ichizon Enjoyed the first season.
Medaka Box 2 S1 ended just as the show was getting good, so hopefully it'll carry on getting better
Chuunibyou Kyoani + action scenes, sounds like a match made in heaven.

And the panzer girls anime just cause of morbid curiosity.

Thanks for the preview -- an interesting read. But having read it I'm not sure there's anything I'm that interested in watching this season. I suppose I might try Robotics;Notes. And Gyrozetter if it actually gets subs somewhere... card games and cars and robots is a tempting combination.

Really looking forward to this season, shaping up to being one of the best for a while.

Had my eye on: Shin Sekai Yori, Robotics; Notes and Chuunibyou for quite a while. Hidamari, JJBA and ID also go without saying. Expecting JJBA to be massively inferior to other aspects of the franchise. Will probably pick up Little Busters, though I haven't read the VN. And Girls und Panzer.

Latest SSY PV.



Flicked through some scans of the manga

Spoiler



Unfortunately for me, my laptop is dead and I've got a good 3-4 episodes of the current season to catch up on when I can watch again, on top of the shows I want to pick up (so far).



I also forgot about Shinki.

Shin Sekai Yori is out... and the new season begins.

*is still on episodes 10 or 11 of last season's anime* :sigh:
(edited 11 years ago)
:tumble: Sure is quiet around here when you take Cara and I out of the equation... What are people's opinions of the new shows a week into the season?

*hopes to make a start on them himself soon*

Great season so far.

Of the shows I've watched, that I planned to: SSY, Chuuni, Hidamari and JJBA; none of them have failed to impress. Still some shows I want to pick up, but seeing as I still don't have a new laptop sorted out, I don't want to consume space on the one I'm borrowing.

ok finally looked :ninja: Too many series set in high schools.:hmmm:

Stuff Im going to watch:
Jormungand 2
Jojo's bizare adventure
Bakuman 3, the second series was a bit dull in places and had its romance :dry: so hopefully this will be better :smile:
Robotics;Notes
Psycho pass, Production I.G :teeth:

Maybe:
Medaka box absolution... first series was ..ok at best, but improved when they turned out to have super powers.:lolwut: Will wait to see if this is more about that then medaka being the school dogsbody.
Zetsuen no Tempest: The Civilization Blaster sounds interesting:beard:
That magi one, it's not set in a school!:zomg:
code breaker:beard:
Shin Sekai Yori


Of course all this depends on if I ever make time for watching new series.:erm:

Magi


Would very much recommend you read the manga! The anime is not bad, but the story feels a bit rushed and jumbled about so I feel like the character development isn't as enthralling. That being said: it's only 3 episodes in :p:
