From looking at the list, there isn't anything on it that's particularly "wowing" me.
The only "leftovers" I'll probably continue are Shingeki no Kyojin and To Aru Kagaku no Railgun S, so I'll probably pick up 5-7 anime this season. From what I can tell, I'll be picking from these...
Ginei wo Kakeru Taiyo - I'm getting a little bit of a Madoka Magica vibe from this series. Also, for some reason, I'm a big fan of tarot card readings so I'll be a bit intrigued by it. Although, I'll probably just give this 3 or 4 episodes and see what I think of it from there.
Blood Lad - It probably has the most interesting plot of the anime I see from this season. A vampire trying to help a ghost girl get her humanity back? Sounds pretty interesting to me. My only concern is it's by Brains Base. Okay, I know they've made some good anime, but the last two series I watched by them are Amnesia and Toonari no Kaibutsu-kun...yeah, pretty lackluster shit if you ask me. I'm hoping Blood Lad turns out better than those.
Makai Ouji: Devils and Realist - This is probably going to get a 3-4 episode try for me. It's plot seems rather generic, but it does seem to have pretty good animation for the most part and it "could" be interesting. I don't know, it sort of just catches my eye for some reason. Again, this isn't something I'm 100% certainly sold on yet.
Inu to Hasami wa Tsukaiyou - I'm getting a Tasogare Otome x Amnesia vibe from this series...although, I'm a little scared. It's a Gonzo anime...which tells me one of two things, this is either going to be really good...or really bad. It doesn't seem like there's a middle ground with Gonzo. It might get a few episode try and see if its good.
Kimi no Iru Machi - Here's one that's REALLY catching my eye. I haven't seen a really good romance/slice of life anime in a while and this seems like it could be an interesting one. It seems to have the dramatic tension to be something great...but I guess I'll just find out when the time comes...
Free! - Oh boy, looks like KyoAni is really going through with this, huh? Well, the KyoAni fan that I am, I will at least "try" this. I'm not really hot and bothered by shounen-ai/yaoi elements in anime if this has this...I just hope it's not one of the prevalent themes of the series because that could get old, really fast.
Kamisama no Inai Nichiyouba - This seems like this COULD be the impressive series of the season with its plot. It kinda seems like Angel Beats meets Shinsekai Yori (I'm not sure about that comparison, but I'll just go with it. I'll be interested in seeing what Madhouse does with this series...
Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya - I think this is going to be my "comedy" pickup of the season. The Fate series has traditionally been my punching bag when it comes to criticism, so it'll be nice to just take this series as something whimsical, poking fun at some of the characters in the series.
Hakkenden: Touhou Hakkenden Ibun 2 - I'm mostly just watching this out of spite. I thought the first season was dreadfully boring, but I felt like it was FINALLY doing something toward the end of the season when it ended. This series is going to test my patience, I think. |
