Ungo doesn't even have a synopsis, all it has is a name. How can you tell anything about it?

Nollog

What does the word interesting mean?
Look at the image for it.

Cy_Revenant

It's a picture of some plates of food.

I can't tell anything from it.

triseke

Some of them look interesting. I think i will check out Kimi to Boku, Coppelion and Tamayura.

Im SO far behind on the new anime though...

Bottleopener

I see there's a new series of Shana. Haven't watched season 2 yet - 1 was excellent, but I've heard pretty bad things about the second one. Guess I might watch it now so I can watch 3 in real time.

gearoidof

What should I watch, so?

yoshiktk

It looks that ill have to quit my job to watch all interesting series from last few years plus the upcoming ones look good as well. Eh.
@Triseke dont worry Youre not alone

lovethefun

SO much to watch O am excited

Konata

Updated the OP with the latest chart version. Few new things added!

Butterscotch

Some good stuff there.

yoshiktk

So Shana is already on third season? I have to watch the second one at last.

cocoshovel

I'm looking extremely forward to the new Last Exile.

me too, just finished rewatching the original series in anticipation.

Butterscotch

I watched an episide of Carnival Phantasm, was crazy but fun.:D

Konata

Updated the chart with the latest version.

Trailers and preview article here.

Read a couple of previews and think I shall be starting off with: This ad lib anime yokey, Boku Wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai, Guilty Crown, Kyoukai Senjou no Horizon and perhaps Mirai Nikki.

Need to finish Shakugan no Shana 2 and then I'll watch the new season.

cherryghost

Honestly this looks like a pretty weak season, even by comparison of recent weak seasons. Will watch Persona 4 and maybe Working!! but nothing else tickles me

Slightly OT, but is Shana 2 worth watching? I loved the first series, but have been put off watching series 2 by a good few people saying it isn't good.

cocoshovel

Yeah doesn't look overly great to be honest. But I never try to judge entirely on charts because they usually give me a poor impression of the show. E.g I was completely put off by Madoka from the chart and only took up watching it after 10 episodes were already out.

Only shows I plan to watch are Working!! season 2. Last Exile season 2. and Boku Wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai.

If anything else prevails as extremely popular I might take it up.

K.O.Kiki

Only things that interest me would be Tekken Blood Vengeance (though I'm apprehensive of how train-wreck it will be), Fate/Zero (because ufotable) and Persona 4.

Also Mirai Nikki, but then again I finished the manga.
Last Exile might be okay, but then... GONZO :pac:

And hey, new Higurashi! Maybe it won't be 100% fanservice like the last OVA! :pac:

Varik

I'm think this may actually be my favorite season so far, that i've been watching during it and not after the fact.

Lot of new stuff that i don't know, but it's the older stuff with the 2nd seasons/based on older stuff.

K.O.Kiki

Official Fate/Zero stream

Eps 1-2 out, AFAIK they'll take down ep 1 after this week.

p.s. Konata why is this thread Fall 2011? We're not American, it should be Autumn.

I'm not entirely sure if it was better or worse this time.... In fact, I still have no idea what the hell happened.

Because the chart says Fall, duh :P

Bottleopener

I'm now pretending the Higurashi OVA never happened.

Konata

So, first episode of Kyoukai Senjou no Horizon was pretty... crap. Some annoyingly disproportionate boobs and way too many characters introduced at once. Horizon/Girl in Bakery's character design is pretty nice though - probably the only redeeming factor right now. Gonna give it another episode or 2 though, I could be proved wrong!

In contrast, episode 1 of Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai was excellent. Funny, established the story, introduced some very likeable characters - this is my kinda show

cocoshovel

Working and Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukanai were pretty good. I decided to check out Ben-to. Not so good, dropped it. The only good part of the episode was the Sakana song.

Sieghardt

definitely feels like a weak season, I'm gonna try Ben To, Gundam AGE and Horizon I guess but I dont have high hopes for any of them

Best OVA.

seraphimvc

Ill be watching last exile, fate, Towa no Quon, Persona and Gundam for now while penguin is ending soon and Towa no Quon is a 6-series movie so i think 4 anime is just the right amount of anime i can watch!

cocoshovel

Thats if anybody even subs Last Exile

Konata

Boku wa Tomodachi was hilarious this week. Great show

Kyoukai Senjou no Horizon on the other hand... episode 2 was no improvement on ep 1. Was hoping they'd start developing a plot a little - seems they developed enough plot for 10 eps this time >_> Seriously, no idea what was happening this episode. Total information overload. Might give it one more episode but at this point, I'll definitely be dropping this. Poor show Sunrise, poor show.

seraphimvc

dropping this Gundam. WTF seriously. WTF. 2nd episode really nailed the coffin for me:<

while Guilty Crown's 1st episode is awesome!!!! i almost feel like i am watching a Macross with super power fighting. Its budget must be pretty high, great visuals! highly recommend it.

just watched Last exile, good stuff!! chinese sub group

cherryghost

Un-go is surprisingly good, as is Persona 4. The rest is mostly utter rubbish. Worst season in recent memory. At least winter looks a little bit more promising.

seraphimvc

fate+ Guilty Crown+Last exile are gorgeous, some high budget production. While i am a fan of Persona game so i will chase it regardless it is good or bad :P

I just downloaded Guilty Crown, looking forward to watching it!

If it's any good then that and Boku Wa Tomodachi Ga Sukunai will be all I'm watching this season.

I love Shakugan no Shana but I'm only on Season 2 so won't be watching S3 will it's airing.

Oh, and everyone should watch Mawaru Penguindrum. It's incredible and I've never seen such detailed episodes before. The translator notes are a must to read after each episode - every word and every image is there for a reason, it's fascinating.

Konata

Guilty Crown Ep 1 was indeed awesome. How similiar is it to Code Geass ep 1 though? Jaysus like, total déja vu >_<

Still awesome though and really looking forward to next week

K.O.Kiki

Persona 4 is turning out very nicely.

Konata

Watched bits of the episode 3 of Kyoukai Senjou no Horizon. Utter crap - no direction, bad pacing, too many characters. Would not recommend!

On the other hand, I hear Bento is actually quite good! I haven't watched it myself yet but heard plenty about it so I plan to give it a go. Those descriptions on the preview charts can be fairly useless >_<

KingLoser

first episode of last exile is now subbed, watched it last night. looks like it's gonna be a fun series!

cocoshovel

Yeah I just watched it earlier. Looks like its going to be good, Especially because Dio is back. I'm a little bitvery gay for Dio

I've watched a couple of episodes of Bento, it's pretty fun, completely ridiculous but silly fun

seraphimvc

my broadband is fcked up Q_Q no animation for 1 week now....jaysus!!

cherryghost

So I've finally watched all 900GB of Anime on my PC. I've currently only got Persona 4 on the run here. Anything else any good/turning into something good from this season?

Other than Ben To, Ika Musume and Working are fairly fun, both already had a season before if you havent watched them though

cherryghost

Working is alright I suppose but didn't really like the other two.
