Duwang all the Way!!

[Kizuchan]

Koutetsujou no Kabaneri (Araki series), My Hero Academia, Macross Delta and the Trigger series.

Now if something interesting would pop up in winter… absolutely nothing seems interesting, but still Osomatsu is entertaining and will still check out Aijin.

[BananaBoatJim]

Shows

- God Eater - Loved the first set of episodes, the animation is interesting, but I like it.

• Ace Attorney - Very skeptical, but could be a fun show.
• Big Order - Seems promising and again could be a fun show.
  - Bungou Stray Dogs - Very intriguing by the premise and I have a weak spot for Bones.
• Concrete Revolutio 2nd Season - Watched the first season and it had it's ups and downs, and the constant flash forwards, flash backs, and flash betweens made it challenging to stay with the show. I'll give this season a shot and might stick with it just to see the conclusion.
• Joker Game - Production I. G., generally has beautiful animation, and the premise sounds promising. I'll give it a try and see how it is after 5 episodes.
  - Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress - Looks like AoT with trains. Definitely giving this show a try.
• Kumo Miko: Girl Meets Bear - A little bit of comedy as I wait for the release of The Boy and the Beast.
• My Hero Academia - Expectations are not high with this show, but again I have a weak spot and will try anything Bones produces.

Films

• Digimon Adventure Tri. 2: Determination - I'll keep watching it until there are no more.
• Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Dark Side of Dimensions - Looks like Yu-Gi-Oh wants a resurgence like Digimon. I'll watch too see Kaiba be a jerk once again.
• Ajin - Demi-Human Part 2: Collision - Haven't seen part one nor the show yet, but based upon both I'll decide to give this film a try.
• Garo: Divine Flame - Liked the first series of Garo, so I'll watch this for sure.

[Aohige_AP]

Macross Delta was a nice eyecandy, but the overly flashy superhuman idol master stuff did make me roll my eyes into my socket.

It's only been like 7 or 8 years since Frontier, but Jesus, they must have had some MAJOR breakthrough in tech.
And organic Fold system!? Damn, I figured the only organic beings capable of that in the galaxy were the Vajra.
(Proto-Devilin probably could, but those suckers are basically cosmic deities. I don't think they count, lol.)
The Fold Quartz and type-V virus research must have been pretty robust after F.

[Brotato]

New Koutetsujou no Kabaneri PV.

Looks pretty cool, definitely has my interest.

[Kizuchan]

I hate the idea that something so good-looking and sounding could suck. Such a waste, but totally could be the case.

When it comes to spring stuff there's also the Garo: Divine Flame movie Trailer:

[Dom64]

It actually worries me how balls of the walls amazing Spring 2016 looks for anime.

That line-up is bound to make summer and possibly fall look pretty dull in comparison.

Ace Attorney
Jojo
My Hero Academy
Magi: Adventure of Sinbad
More Ushio and Tora
More Concrete Revolutio (first season was okay, but Urobuchi is involved now so that sure gets my attention)
Kiznaiver: finally a Trigger anime not made on a 100$ budget
Joker Game looks real interesting
Stray Dogs is a Bones show, so it's bound to look good at least

Then everything else beyond that is just a welcomed surprise. So far that's nine show I'm looking forward to and not in the sense of ''oh, looks cool I'll check it out'' but in the sense of ''I can already tell waiting for all of those every week will be tough''.

I know hype can lead to disappointment but…damn.

[Wagomu]

Aww, no Mob Psycho yet? Well I figured we'd be getting it later in the year, but I'm just so excited for it.

[madriano]

JoJo, My Hero Academia and Ushio and Tora? Hell yeah!!

[MajinArekkusu]

@Brotato:

New Koutetsujou no Kabaneri PV.

Love the look, buuuuut… inspired by AoT much? xD

[Kizuchan]

^That's because Kabaneri has AoT's team.

There's the Trigger series!

Hey, it's Yuuki Kaji voicing the protagonist again.

[Sick_Fool]

Damn, so much goodness this coming spring season. The only problem is how to find the time to watch all these good stuff.

[Kizuchan]

Just a few weeks until the new season hits!

Looking through the PVs and there seems to be the most anime I'm interested in a season since I've started following by season. I actually really feel like I won't be able to watch it all.

Aside from My Hero Academia, Kabaneri Of The Iron Fortress, Kiznaiver and Macross Delta, Bungaku Stray Dogs, Mayoiga, Kuma Miko, Sakamoto Desu Ga and Flying Witch catch my attention. A lot of variety - action, relaxing cute stuff (the bear one looks super cute), humor; some very interesting premises. That's a whopping 9 series that catch my attention before the season start. Makes up for the fairly lackluster winter, I guess?

It was a tough decision but anime won. RIP university. D:

A Trigger show that doesn't look over the top from the get go and might even be "deep" in some shape or form? Weird times we're living in.

[CaptainAppleJack]

The Spring season looks really good.

Defintely watching:
Jojo
My Hero Academia
Sakamoto desu ga
Bungou Stray Dogs
Ace Attorney

Probably watching:
Joker Game
Kiznaiver

Watching when caught up:
Ushio to Tora S2

[Cyclone_Baroness]

When does the Spring season start? 3 of the shows…5? Or the shows I was watching have either ended or are finishing this week. I need my proper anime dosage.

[Brotato]

New stuff starts on the 1st. Can't wait~ this season is gonna be awesome!

[CaptainAppleJack]

Well, Jojo starts next friday, Ace Attorney on Saturday and Boku no Hero Academia on Sunday.

Thanks! Oh man. Sakamoto desu ga sounds hilarious. I'll have to add that to my list as well.

[Enzeru]

To those of you waiting for the season to kick in, I can recommend this short series by Makoto Shinkai
http://myanimelist.net/anime/32491/Kanojo_to_Kanojo_no_Neko__Everything_Flows

It's quite heartwarming even though you wouldn't expect it at first.

[Sander]

Season starts when Beautiful Duwang says so.

[Kizuchan]

There's still Osomatsu-san this season, but otherwise I'm with you guys. Bring on some new anime. For some reason I'm extra excited for this season, too.

Maybe it just is this winter season. I did end up also picking up the short Sekkou Boys, which was really fun, but literally nothing aside from that and Erased and Osomatsu-san not even grabbed my attention. Usually I do check out quite a few first episodes. (To be fair, I've heard good things about Rakugo and I have no doubt Lupin ended up real good based on what I saw, they don't exactly "grab" me to watch them right away).

[RamistaR]

Yay! What will I try this season ?

! Will Watch:
God Eater : I want to see them die! Mwahahaha!
Shingeki no Bahamut: uhh…it might be great if it is related to this. Boku no Hero Academia: I heard many good things about the manga.
Koutetsujou no Kabaneri: looks fantastic!
Kiznaiver: Trigger!!!
Bungou Stray Dogs: hmm…
Jojo no Kimyou na Bouken: Diamond wa Kudakenai: Yare Yare!
Joker Game: fufufufu!
Uchuu Patrol Luluco: Trigger!!! Mayoiga: synopsis sounds interesting

[LegendarySSJ4]

Spring starts with AOTS contender? Damn

[Kizuchan]

Ladies and gentlemen I bring you… EVEN MORE ANIME!

We have a lesbian horse ice skating swimming idol anime! (just such WTF that I even might check it out - I was laughing by the time the ice-skating showed up)

!

More Rage of Bahamut! FAVAROOO. Also BUDGEEET. LOOK AT IT!

!

More My Hero Academia!

!

More Sailor Moon! (I actually might check this season out - it looks a lot better; they also have the openings and endings streamed, I thought anything from what I've seen of this is much better than any of the 7 episodes I've seen of Crystal. The direction is just a lot more inspired; even if they can't keep up the better animation, the art looks a lot better itself.)

!

[Sander]

Bahamut is cool.

Hopefully it keeps close to the character-centric first half of the previous series. Going heavy into the overarching story did it no favors.

Every time some Joker complains about the "filler" in series like Cowboy Bebop, someone needs to point them to Rage of Bahamut.

It could be worse. It could have been centaurs. And I think people liked that lesbears thing.

[Kizuchan]

It's just such a wierd thing. lol.

[MajinArekkusu]

Cat girl looking horse girls…lesbians...ooookaaaaayyy japan. :blink: Probably gonna check it out. :ninja:

More Bahamut yay.

BTW, New Berserk show looks fine, but imagine it with Bahamuts budget and animation instead.^^

[RamistaR]

Oow! So it really is the sequel of red afro Bahamut.
The first season had such an amazing start. The end though…
I look forward to it.

[Enzeru]

I'm placing my money on My Hero Academy catching my attention right away and ultimately leading to me pickin' up the manga; just like it happened with ERASED. The preview makes it look incredibly cool and truth be told I can't seem to find anyone talking trash about the source material either.

[Dom64]

@KageKageKing:

It could be worse. It could have been centaurs. And I think people liked that lesbears thing.

Yurikuma had a completely different kind of audience though.

[Kizuchan]

The Space Patrol Luluco short is super cute. I've always liked Imaishi's art style, it just needs good execution to back it up. Gurren Lagann was good, Little Witch Academia was good, Kill la Kill was pretty clumsy at points. I like this little short so far, though. If you straight-up love Gainax/Trigger/Imaishi definitely check it out despite it being a short.

[RamistaR]

This post is deleted!

[Sarrik]

Looking forward to Boku no Hero

[Kizuchan]

Lost Village (Mayoiga) was wierd. I don't really know how to describe it? Over-the-top, melodramatic in a bad way? I feel like the "craziness" and "wierdness" of the characters was played up too much to the point of distraction and made it really hard to take seriously. I do expect B-horror kind of fun, though. Can't wait for them to start tearing each other apart! :D

[zachri]

The fuck you say bout my hair, duwang?!

[Wagomu]

I decided to watch Space Patrol Luluco on a whim. It doesn't look like it's going to be the most involved thing, but it's really short and had me laughing like at some of KLK's funniest moments. Also, I don't even care that he only appeared for a scene in one short episode so far, this guy is the best:

[hide]

Inferno Cop: Evolved[/hide]

[RamistaR]

Well Lost Village was very intriguing and it has a character called Lion too. So I might just watch episode 2.

Ace Attorney was well done. But I don't think it's exactly my kind of story. I will try episode 2 to make sure.

Eindrid was pretty boring. Might be too soon to judge but I can't watch too many shows either. Dropping this one.

You should definitely watch Space Partrol Luluco. Or else…"you are under arrest!"

[Sarrik]

I've only seen JoJo so far

ill give those a good look see today

[Sander]

Having checked out the glorious Duwang, I will also assess the first episodes of Ushio and Tora: the Hakumening, MHA and Swagamoto.

After that, I will hold off on them till I'm done with Fall and Winter leftovers, including the amazing Rakugo, which I saw only one episode of and now I'm obliged to see it through because it looks like it could become one of my GOATs depending on how it shakes out.

[Kizuchan]

Today's anime were My Hero Academia and Kuma Miko.

My Hero Academia had a very solid first episode, kicking off as a good adaption of the manga - good animation, characters are instantly likeable (the slow pace helped to make them more memorable)

Kuma Miko was uh… interesting. I wasn't expecting the latter half at all, but I really liked how it highlighted how bizzare old fairy tales could be, even if the "sexy" part stuff was kind of wierd. It's gross-out kinda humor, which also makes it pretty memorable. I was just expecting a girl and a bear doing cute things. The ending song is peak adorable and catchy, though. My favorite ending of the season so far.

[Carmilla]

mm, I am looking forward to Bungou Stray Dogs~
And I haven't even read manga or anything.

[Femme]

So I just saw the first ep of Ace Attorney, I've never played the games but who doesn't know about them?
It was good but I kinda think it didn't have to follow a game format so closely, I could almost see myself clicking for the next line of dialogue lol.

Btw doesn't "Naruhodo" (his name) mean like "I understand / I see" in japanese?

[KageKageKing]

@Femme:

Btw doesn't "Naruhodo" (his name) mean like "I understand / I see" in japanese?

Yeah. All the characters from Ace Attorney have some kind of pun in their names both in the japanese and english version.

[Femme]

@KageKageKing:

Yeah. All the characters from Ace Attorney have some kind of pun in their names both in the japanese and english version.

Ahh gotcha. Well I now see that you're able to change the subtitles in crunchyroll to reflect the english version names, so I shall do so going forward~

[Cyclone_Baroness]

@Femme:

Ahh gotcha. Well I now see that you're able to change the subtitles in crunchyroll to reflect the english version names, so I shall do so going forward~

I didn't know that was a feature. Is it Web only?
