AJ's Spring 2016 Anime Preview Thread

I had a quick scan for that but somehow missed it! But I actually expected to see it in your watch list (which I've now triple checked). Not interested then? I don't know much about it but I know it's really hyped up.

The hype has me curious, but other than that there's not much that makes it stand out for me. I'll give the first episode a chance though, to see what all the fuss is about for myself. :smile:

[EDIT] Corrected trailer for Tanaka-kun wa Itsumo Kedaruge.

Mayoiga sounds quite interesting!

I look at that promo picture, and see far fewer than 30 people... :afraid:

Amazon Prime enters the simulcast market, licensing Koutetsujou no Kabaneri! The article suggests they have worldwide streaming rights, but only confirms it'll be available in Japan and America. Just when the other licensors seemed to finally be acknowledging the UK market as well...

What? Amazon Prime's entering the UK Anime Market? :lolwut:

Under the current "Prime TV" category, they list Avatar Seasons 1-3, The Legend of Korra, Monsuno and a tonne of Pokemon Diamond and Pearl series...

I mean, I'd be very happy if they DID start moving into the anime business, but you'd think they'd expand their current database first :tongue:

No, like I say the article only confirms they're making it available in the US and Japan, despite having worldwide streaming rights. I just worry that if they don't extend it to the UK, nobody else will be allowed to stream it here either.
So this season's interests:

- Big Order
- Endride
- Kiznaiver
- Re: Zero Kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu
- Seisen Cerberus: Ryuukoku no Fatalité

A shorter list than usual, but we'll have to wait and see what Crunchyroll picks up which will define which of the above, if any, I can actually watch :tongue:
Added PV for Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn RE:0096.
Unhappy♪ (Anne-Happy) and Sousei no Onmyouji (Twin Star Exorcists) will apparently be available on UK Crunchyroll. :smile:
Crunchyroll also has Re: Zero Kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu (Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World-)

In what is likely to be a dwindling list after watching the 1st eps, here's my list:
· Big Order
· Boku no Hero Academia
· Bungou Stray Dogs
· Endride· Flying Witch
· Gakusen Toshi Asterisk 2
· Gyakuten Saiben (Ace Attorney)
· Hundred· JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure Part 4
· Joker Game
· Kiznaiver
· Koutetsujo no Kabaneri
· Kuromukuro
· Macross Delta
· Mayoiga
· Netoge no Yome wa Onnanoko ja Nai to Omotta?
· Sakamoto desu ga?
· Seisen Cerberus
· Tanaka-kun wa Itsumo Kedaruge

I'm not particularly excited by much, aside from Sakamoto desu ka? since I have the 1st two manga volumes.
I've read the first 40 or so chapters of Boku no Hero Academia and found it quite entertaining. I can't see it being the new 'big' shounen like OP & Fairy Tail but it's better than a fair few to come out lately.
I placed Jojo on the list but I still need to finish off Stardust Crusaders first so it'll depend if I get round to getting that finished first :smile:

Unsurprisingly, Crunchyroll will be streaming JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond Is Unbreakable
Added PV for Gakusen Toshi Asterisk 2.

[EDIT] Crunchyroll has Terraformars Revenge
