Forgive me if my memory is fuzzy, but I believe it is a 26 episode re-imagining and 5 theatrical releases. Which is good, because despite the quality it'll get folks interested in the original, sort of like how Battlestar Galactica did for me.

I'm excited for so much. Fate/Zero part two, Medaka Box, AKB0048 (Because come on, I have to at least watch a few episodes!), Sengoku and probably a few more as details start to emerge.

I couldn't care less about the shows, but I really want that art by HJL in the bottom corner!

mentalist101

Wow glad to see Kuroko no basket will be getting an anime, the manga is too good

cherryghost

Eureka Seven Ao perhaps. Everything else meh.

K.O.Kiki

Oh hold on a second -- Zetman?

ZETMAN!? :eek:

Hey kiki have you seen my desktop?

Looking Glass

It's early days yet, but out of that chart I'm probably only going to give Fate/Zero's second season a look. Maybeeee that Amnesia series, depending on reactions. Looks like it's a season where it's time for me to catch up on the ever growing backlog.

Hey Xinkai have you seen the disgusting Jpeg artifacts in your sig? :pac:

Konata

Hmmmm, I must make sure I watch Kore Wa Zombie Desu Ka? before the start of this season.

Been hearing a fair bit about Medaka Box so will be checking that out. Shining Hearts character designs are super pretty - be awesome if they could make a good anime out of it too

Some vigilante went and destroyed Madhouse's harem and marvel divisions. Might I suggest watching dawn of the dead and backdoor sluts 9 at the same time for the desired result

Uchuu Kyoudai has potential, I like space operas!

Headshot

Brilliant to see Zetman getting an anime

Big fan of the manga

Konata

Updated with the newest chart version.

New KyoAni woot. Mystery? Hmmm... we shall see! Remastered Nadia: The Secret of the Blue Water too. Always meant to watch that so Spring seems like a good time.

And eh.... Thomas the Tank Engine?! lulwut

Xodia

Does anyone know if there is going to be a season 2 of kaichou wa maid sama or know a release date for the blood-c movie ?

Art_Wolf

The Blood-C movie is meant to be released in Japan on June 2nd.

xENDZEITx

Eureka 7 AO yeeees

cade

It's nice to see Gothicmade is finally being relased, I ran across the listing for that film about two years ago now so I hope it's been worth my wait.

Hmm with a sequal to Eureka seven; it might finally push me to finish the first series, I mean I've gotten to episode 28 around three times now and just stop at that.

Arashi no Your ni was a really great film so I'd be interesed in seeing how a series of it turns out.

A continuation of Kore was zombie desu ka will most likely be the thing keeping me most entertained for those months anime wise.

Other than that though I'll give the follwing a try, Zetman, Sankarea, Tasogare and Deva Zan. Think I'll give the rest a miss.

Monkeyto

Ozuma, Zetman and the second season of Fate Zero will be what I check out, everything else just does not appeal to me at all.

The remastered blurays are already though, weird. Though I guess waiting for the TV airing to finish for a 20 years old series would be silly. Didn't stop sunrise with remastered seed.

I keep forgetting the name, but the jazz one has cowboy bebop's director and yoko kanno working together again. This is a good thing.

amberlewis

From my point of veiw:-
1.hyou-ka
2.sankarea

These characters looking cool among all.

Thomas-G

I'm gonna watch like 15 of these, needless to say I'm pretty hyped for a lot. Looking forward to accel world

K.O.Kiki

Oh look.

Legend of Korra has started.

See you guys next year.

sepd123

Kore wa zombie desu ka.
and Eureka Seven ao. < has alot to live up to Eureka seven is my favorite so far.
Have to finish Clannad After story first though

Nollog

There's a lot I'm half interested in.

Thomas-G

So far:
Space Bros = Great
Saint Seiya Omega = fun, pretty good!
Zetman, Folktales From Japan = Ok
Naruto SD = horrible, dropped

Konata

Updated the OP with the final version of the chart.

I have to say, this season looks pretty terrible.

I don't know if this is sarcasm, but this season is amazing, nearly every show has been good so far

I havent even watched anything yet lol. The charts always lie though, but nothing overly appeals to me yet.

Space Bros, Accel World and Sankarea are all safe bets at the very least

Cy_Revenant

Still watching Gundam AGE and Aquarion EVOL which are both pretty solid. Checking out Medaka Box on recommendations as well as Space Brothers and the new Eureka Seven.

Show of the year? Lupin the Third: A Woman named Mine Fujiko. Fantastic stuff altogether. If you've seen any Lupin, watch it. If you never seen any Lupin, drop everything and watch it.

cocoshovel

Sakamichi no Apollon seems promising, especially if you like music.

Konata

So, what have we all been watching? Here's a quick run-down of the shows I've been keeping up with anyway:

- Natsuiro Kiseki: Nice show about friendship based around 4 teenage girls. Enjoyable, uncomplicated fodder.

- Medaka Box: Love the animation, love Medaka but the episodes have been a bit hit and miss with me so far. Some of them I've loved, others I've just found myself bored with.

- Haiyore! Nyaruko-san: Beast show. Absolutely ridiculous but frickin' hilarious. I thought this was a sequel so didn't put it on my watch list but it isn't and I'm so glad I picked it up! Seriously, it's brilliant - and all the references to other anime/games/Lovecraft universe are awesome.

- Kore Wa Zombie Desu Ka? Of the Dead - another hilarious show. There was less plot than in the 1st season but I actually found it funnier. Wish there were more episodes but sure what can ya do!

- Shining Hearts: Shiawase no Pan: Don't watch this if you're looking for a fast-paced plot-driven show - this is as far from that as possible. However, I love it, probably because I'm obsessed with Tony Taka character designs >_> It's a slow-paced show but as long as you're not expecting more, it's really enjoyable.

- Sankarea: I was unsure about this at the start but after about the 3rd episode I got into better. It's a touching story about a girl who hates her life and seeks freedom when she's accidentally turned into a zombie. It's very realistic though and also touches on friendship, love and death.

- Accel World: Like Medaka Box, this show is a bit hit and miss with me. Some episodes are great, others are a bit dull. The first few episodes bombard you with a TON of information but it starts to make a bit more sense the further along you get. Gonna keep it up anyway.

-Hyouka: Fantastic show. Every word and every image is just so perfect - nothing is superfluous. Everything is laden with meaning. Fantastic animation too.

Thomas-G

I agree with the above, except I like Accel World more than most. I'm on a break from most of the Ep 9s, since I'd prefer to marathon the last few episodes for everything over a day or two.
Honestly everything is good pretty much. You should all watch Upotte!! though, it's more ridiculous than Nyaruko.
