Disappointed Lost Song has no animation to show yet, LIDEN too...

A.I.C.O: Incarnation looks alrightish? Hope Kazuya Murata can make that work. Not as high quality as Gargantia on the looks but the style is similar and I dig that.
It does look more like Captain Earth-Bones than the Bones that has done recent stuff but I won't be totally pessimist about it.

It does look like Kazuto Nakazawa is making the designs for B: The Beginning along with directing so at least the character will look nice but I have no idea what he has to offer as a director.

Maybe interested by the original suspense series.


Yet another St Seiya thing... I wonder how Kurumada gave up on his series like this, he seemed to have such a firm grasp over his proprieties in the 2000s.
I bet this won't even have Furuya reprising the eponymous role.
@tsubasalover The hero's name is spelled "Seiya".
Also, using english for the "arcs" could be easier to understand. (Galaxian Wars, for example)
edit @sevenPocky I think you meant "silver saint" arc in your edit. ^^ (sorry if I 'm being an annoyance)

Devilman just looks hype as fuck and Baki is something I personally love way too much not to get excited about. The rest just look like average seasonals, hit or miss stuff basically. But it's cool to have some more options and the Saint Seiya stuff is probably something I'll end up watching one way or the other.
I probably regret this post by now.

I think A.I.C.A is the series that interests me the most. my only problem is that the director, Kazuya Murata, is the director of Gargantia, which was a series I really didn't like, though I think it was more the writing than the directing that I had a problem with.

Wow, looks like Netflix is series about this. Guess the previous few anime did well for them. All of their titles look interesting to me except Lost Song, but that's just my preferences.

The Bones anime and IG anime really look good, plus Devilman.If this means moregood dark anime actually making money rather than bombing in disc sales and not having any fujoshi or otaku backing to buy merch, this is good. If they make money and Bones and IG make more of Joker Game, Psycho Pass type shows, I'm glad.

I'm aware of this, but I didn't include it to the list because I'm not sure if this considers "anime" or "cartoon" even though Japanese studio Satelight is involved.

Shelter is on MAL, but we didn't report it because I'm not sure if it's newsworthy. Adding the db is decided upon anime moderators, not us news moderators.

Are all these going to air weekly and at least 1 cour?
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion.

http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30

It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist.

So hyped for Devilman and B: The Beginning. I hope Yuasa won't use much Flash, but I believe in him anyway, he never disappointed me before. B seems like one-man project from Kazuto Nakazawa and I really like his design and animation works, so it's a must watch for me.

Also a little dissapointed about BONES original. It looks mediocre, like it's nothing special. But we'll see.
