Ooh a lot of PVs. Summer 2014 hype.  |
Zankyou no Terror will be awesome~ |
Let the PV watching begin!! SAO II, Tokyo Ghoul, Rail Wars, Glasslip, Akame ga Kill, and Ao Haru Ride is what I'll be watching so far. “News travels fast in places where nothing much ever happens.” ― Charles Bukowski |
Damn so much to watch in here. Luckily I'll be watching SOA 2 and Zankyou no Terror at Anime Expo this summer :D |
This season's looking pretty damn good. From the looks of it, I'll be picking up Akame ga Kill (hype), Aldnoah.Zero (staff hype), Tokyo Ghoul, Zankyou no Terror, and Nozaki-kun. I'm also more than likely going to pick up SAO 2, and Kuroshitsuji for the sake of series completion. I'm also undecided on Glasslip since I don't really know anything about it. mitch3315 said: This might be a bit hard for you to believe, I know I didn't at first, but the thing is that other people actually have different opinions to your own. Crazy, right? How dare they not conform to your opinion on this show, or any other, who the hell do they think they are? |
This thread is always so helpful! Thanks for putting it together. Summer lineup looks like it's going to be pretty awesome.  Site & Forum Guidelines | MAL Guidelines | Report Abuse The Chat Club [size=60] Join at your own risk |
Aside for the one that still unknown Blade Dance look like the last show that air this summer and the only show that air on the third week. I wonder if that is a good thing or not.  |
Thanks for the list. I was thinking of watching Bakumatsu Rock but after watching that PV...... >.> I'm gonna go for Glasslip, Tokyo Ghoul (with Pierrot doing it, I'm not hoping for much though), Aldnoah.Zero and Akame ga Kill for new ones. As for 2nd seasons, Kuroshitsuji, SAO 2 (I am really hoping GGO is better than than awful Fairy Dance arc), Space Dandy and Fate/Loli Magical Girls. "People die when they are killed" - Emiya Shirou |
Hopefully it will be another good season SAO 2, akame ga kill, glasslip  |
summer looks like it's going to be awesome because of free! s2, fate/kaleid liner s2, sailor moon, and lots of intriguing new titles...  |
Tokyo Ghoul, Barakamon and Zankyou no Terror are the ones im waiting for the most.Hype.  |
lots of shows on Mondays and Sundays...  |
KanColle should probably be listed under the unknowns, because as far as I know they haven't announced when it will be out yet...But it is coming this Summer supposedly... |
WILL WATCH: Prisma Illya 2wei - can't wait for this. Loved this story arc in the manga and hopefully this does it justice. Going by PVs animation budget increased by quite a bit. The OP song sounds awesome too. Sword Art Online II - GGO and MR are one of my more favorite story arcs in the LNs so hopefully this adapts them correctly. Aldnoah Zero - Seems original and unique enough Tokyo Ghoul - Like the visuals, the setting is interesting and so far no real moeblob bs. Seems promising. Sailor Moon Crystal(Which for some reason is not in the list here) - AS long as it follows the manga I expect this to be freaking great, if not amongst the top of the season. MAYBE: Akame Ga Kill - heard good things about the manga, but otherwise char designs look generic and I have no idea wtf it is about. WIll give it up to 3 episodes before deciding whether its shit or not. Argevollen - not sure about this. On one hand - yay war with realistic mecha. On other hand - fanservicey, the op song is pop-y upbeat stuff and the title is cheese.  |
cyclone1993 said: It was initially announced in our news for Summer 2014. However, when I looked into the entry last week, the official site only said "2014" and there hasn't been any news on their Twitter since May's birthday event. Thus, I highly suspect we won't be seeing it this season and have changed the start date to only 2014.KanColle should probably be listed under the unknowns, because as far as I know they haven't announced when it will be out yet...But it is coming this Summer supposedly...

So the only shows that actually look good both have something to do with Shinichiro Watanabe, unsurprisingly. This looks like a 'break' season before the (hopefully) decent fall. edit: although Barakamon could be cool. |
Hyped for some animes especially Ao Haru Ride. [center]  |
High Expectations Space Dandy. First cour was funny as hell. Nuff said Zankyou no Terror. The premise sounds very intriguing and it's directed by freaking Watanabe. Do i have to say anything more? Ao Haru Ride. God, i really love this series. Romantic, heartwarming, and "thrilling". Actually handles the romantic issues in mature manner and i enjoy the chemistry between the lead duo. Being a sucker for shoujo romance, this one is must watch. Moderate Expectations Aldnoah Zero. I'm not into mecha. But it's written by Urobuchi so it's definitely worth checking out. Just hope he won't dwelve too much into philosopical debates without giving proper answers in the end much like his previous series. Tokyo Ghoul. Eh, not really sure about this. The manga started out decent but on later chapters it eventually just turns into excess of shounen action cliches. It's entertaining though, but can't expect much in terms of quality writing Kuroshitsuji Circus. Liked and enjoyed the first season, but the second season was a disappointment for being excessively fujoshi-pandering and derailing too much from manga. Really wish this one will be more faithful to the manga, since Circus arc is one of the best (and most morally conflicting) arcs on the series. Akame ga Kill. Ergh, i detest how the manga consistently gets away from adressing its main plot point by introducing more and more violent deaths. But on the brighter side, this one definitely won't be boring and can give me some good shock value. Also, Katsuyuki Konishi gets the best character of the series Psycho Pass. Meh, i've watched the entire thing. Not sure how this repeat with longer episodes and extra footages would add something of value. Glasslip. Will probably watch this for its beautiful visual alone. Mari Okada is out this time, so that's a good thing. Barakamon. The manga was really enjoyable. Sure it's not a big laugh comedy ala Danshi nichijou but at least it never fails to keep my attention. Sword Art Online 2. The first season was so bad that it's actually enjoyable. Loved the over the top villains and imouto stuff. They really gave me good laugh. GS Nozaki-kun. I found the manga just about amusing but not really funny. Still, decent romcom anime that are devoid of fanservice/harem antics are rare so it's a must try. Sailor Moon. Never liked the original much during my childhood since my attentions were drawn mostly into shonen battle such as DBZ, Yuyu Hakusho, and Saint Seiya. Still, it's a legendary franchise and definitely worth checking out. Low Expectations Tokyo ESP. Well, another action stuff that i shouldn't take seriously. I found the manga mediocre and most attempts at comedy tend to fail miserably. Don't know what to expect from this. Jinsei. One generic schoolboy in generic schoolclub meets bunch of attractive girls in the most generic ways possible. Yep, you know what you're getting into. Will try one episode or two, probably. Seirei Tsukai no Blade Dance. When the synopsis tells you about the MC "accidentally" peeps on the main heroine, then you surely are in for greatness . . . . yeah, maybe. Rail Wars. No one on the staff that i find really promising. And please, just please, don't put Fukuyama Jun on teenage role ever again. The MC sounds so ludicruous that it made me shake my head. Magimoji Rurumo. Just can't believe that it's written by the same guy who writes Yowamushi Pedal. Most attempts at humor always fail. The characters are annoying as fuck, and i don't like where the story is heading into. And JC Staff has had lots of misses lately. Not sure what to expect from this. Momo Kyun Sword. Wouldn't be this negative if the main heroine wore more clothing and had moderate-sized breasts. Not that pair of watermelons. Shirogane no Ishi Argevollen. I don't know what i'm getting myself into. |
Aldnoah.Zero, Akame ga Kill, Zankyou no Terror, Tokyo Ghoul and Space Dandy 2 are the ones I'm looking foward to the most this coming season. Modified by hiroshiaozora, Jun 16, 2014 1:55 AM |
Very helpful overview. I'm pretty hyped for Aldnoah.Zero and other interesting shows like Tokyo Ghoul, Zankyou no Terror, DRAMAtical Murder, Seirei Tsukai no Blade Dance and SAO II. Modified by Azerola, Jun 16, 2014 2:03 AM |
I will watch almost all of those upcoming Anime :3 Thank you for this awesome thread!!  |
It'll be hectic days. SAO 2, Tokyo Ghoul, Akame ga Kill, Tokyo ESP. What should i do? Nice summer even though it has less ecchi than the last |
so many shows to watch yet so little timeï½ this summer looks really interesting!  No Blood! No Bone! No Ash! |
High expectations - Glasslip - Tokyo Ghoul - Aldnoah Zero - Zankyou no Terror Moderate high - Sword Art Online 2 - Free! Eternal Summer - Barakamon - Akame ga Kill |
Meh not really looking forward to this season much, maybe aldnoah zero and zankyou no terror |
This season looks fun and cute a few action series I will be picking up fun season in my opinion |
Zankyou no Terror is the most promising in my eyes, I just hope it delivers. I'm surprisingly looking forward to SAO 2 as well. It doesn't look half bad and even if it does end up sucking, I'm sure the ost alone will make it worth watching. I'll also watch Akame ga Kill which is hopefully closer to Berserk than Ubel Blatt. Space Dandy 2 will surely be as entertaining as the first season, so there's that to add to the list too. Tokyo Ghoul, Rail Wars, Aldnoah Zero, Tokyo ESP and Persona all seem interesting, but I'll probably wait for them to finish airing before actually starting them. Hanamogatari is likely to be the last I'll ever see of Araragi (I don't expect Kizu to be released within my lifetime...), so I'm planning to marathon the whole series before watching it. 5 main aspects I base my ratings on: 1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it? 2. Is it better than Breaking Bad? 3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it? 4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL? 5. Is it actually good? Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant... |
Man,for sure that i don't lost nothing in this next season!!!!! I need watch all!!!! *----* Out works that i expected,i thing that can be a work that can surprise me... in the end,i'll try hard to watch it all! ^^ |
This is going to be a good summer! SAO 2 Akame ga Kill! Hanamonogatari Seirei Tsukai no Blade Dance Glasslip also sounds good.

I'm Just Sayin' but you should check out My Anime List and My Manga List. |
Thanks for the thread ;) it seems like i won't have any boring moments this summer. Sword Art Online 2 and Hanamonogatari, those are the my crown jewels for this summer!! hell yeaaah |
It's going to take me sometime to watch all those CMs and PVs. Heard good things about Akame ga Kill! so I will definitely watch that and I also may consider reading the manga at some point. Looks like there is a lot of good series coming out for the summer which is great! |
It's going to get busy again next month! I'm excited! |
Aldnoah Zero -- take my soul, Urobuchi, and butcher it to your heart's content, you cruel genius. I'm getting tired of mecha but I'll make an exception for this show and get lost of any prejudices I may have. If the show fails to amaze me, though, I will lose faith in humanity (again). The release of atomic energy has not created a new problem. It has merely made more urgent the necessity of solving an existing one. - Albert Einstein |
Now this will get troublesome... I think I'll watch all xD.... especially hyped for Sword Art Online II Re:Hamatora (FREAKING CLIFFHANGER QQ) Love Stage!! (Izumi animated <33) Glassip Free! Eternal Summer (Oh Sousuke you better be nice or else...) Tokyo Ghoul Space Dandy 2nd season (yes I missed Dandy!XD) DRAMAtical Murder Akame ga Kill Ao Haru Ride Zankyou no Terror K:Missing Kings (I expected a screenrip from this one...) Tokyo ESP Seirei Tsukai no Blade Dance .... and I'm watching some more which I'm not that hyped for so... goddahmit for me this summer it's to much xD  |
lol guess no one cares about P4 golden Animation :) |
Free! Eternal Summer Sword Art Online II Ao Haru Ride Kuroshitsuji Book of Circus Those are what I'll be watching ^_^ |
Oh man oh man, I'm so hyped for Tokyo Ghoul. I kinda wish I wasn't because if it turns out to be shit I'm in for a great disappointment -.- |
* Rail Wars! - Looks like it could be something interesting. * Aldnoah.Zero - Written by Urobuchi Gen (Fate/Zero, Mahou Shoujo Madoka), music by Sawano Hiroyuki (Shingeki no Kyojin, Kill la Kill), animated by A-1 Pictures (Kuroshitsuji, Fairy Tail, Magi). * Shirogane no Ishi: Argevollen - Music by Nakagawa Kotaro (Code Geass, Inu X Boku SS, Gosick), animated by Xebec (Zombie-Loan, Mnemosyne), starring Ohsaka Ryota (Brynhildr's Murakami, Sidonia's Tanikaze) and Oohara Sayaka (Fairy Tail's Erza, Fate/Zero's Irisviel). Although I have many more shows I'm looking forward to, those are my (currently) most anticipated shows of this summer season Modified by BlazePony, Jun 16, 2014 7:04 AM  |
hmmm the only things that I was certain I would watch before this news were SAO II, Seirei Tsukai no Blade Dance and Persona 4 Golden (I want to see whats the point of remaking with Golden features.) But i'll still watch the rest to see if I would like it. xDD |
I'm looking forward to: * Zankyou no Terror * Sailor Moon * Ao Haru Ride * And I might check out Rokujouma no Shinryakusha |
here they are y'all can count me in. |
I don't think I've ever been this excited for a season, I've put about ten series on my ptw-list. Especially looking forward to Barakamon and Zankyou no Terror. (btw, Zankyou no Terror's PV2 has been deleted)  |
No information on the main event of the Summer, hurry it up Kadokawa. Hanayamata will be good and Yama no Susume has been treated well for the Second Season, it should turn out great.  |
to watch: Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon: Crystal Hanamonogatari Psycho-Pass New Edit Version (only if I feel like rewatching) Sword Art Online II long waited ovas Ano Natsu de Matteru OVA Girls und Panzer: Kore ga Hontou no Anzio-sen Desu! Hayate no Gotoku! OVA |
High Expectations: Zankyou no Terror,Hanamonogatari,Free! 2nd Season,Glasslip Medium: Aldnoah.Zero,Yama no Susume Season 2,Sword Art Online II, Average: Ao Haru Ride,Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun,Hanayamata,Jinsei,Kantai Collection: Kan Colle,RAIL WARS!,Seirei Tsukai no Blade Dance,Shirogane no Ishi: Argevolle,Space�âïÿýïÿýDandy 2nd Season, Low: Majimoji Rurumo,Re: Hamatora,Tokyo ESP,Tokyo Ghoul Unsure: Akame ga Kill! - Genreic shounen,if censored it's a guaranteed failure. Aldnoah.Zero - Has all the making to be the next Gulity Crown imo. Sword Art Online II - Could be like ALO Modified by VanishingKira, Jun 16, 2014 10:51 AM  "Netflix licensing anime was a mistake. Seriously fuck them." -Me2017 |
Hype list: 1. Glasslip -Because P.A. Works. And Nishimura's work on True Tears was great IMO. 2. Akame ga Kill - White Fox's work on the fights in Katanagatari is enough for me to want to watch this. 3. Tokyo Ghoul - Just hoping that there's finally a really good horror anime. 4. Hanamonogatari - I enjoy Monogatari, just quit delaying it SHAFT. 5. Zankyou no Terror - Watanabe and Kanno together again and everything looks more than promising. 6. Ao Haru Ride - Drama/Romance is my cup of tea, and it's an I.G shoujo. High hopes. 7. Aldnoah.Zero -Ei Aoki + Gen Urobuchi + Hiroyuki Sawano = This better be good. 8. Rail Wars - Looks like it could be a mediocre show that is still enjoyable. 9. Jinsei and Rokujouma no Shinryakusha!? - Seem generic but I'll still watch because why not. 10. Tokyo ESP -Plot sounds interesting enough. Really disliked almost everything about SAO, but I will watch the 2nd season for the sake of completion, nothing more. Yami Shibai is horrifyingly scary. Can't wait for more. Cannot wait for Cencoroll 2. It's gonna be amazing :) Modified by ZachM, Jun 16, 2014 12:08 PM |
http://youtu.be/FXbgVzwbPtU?t=45s (Rail Wars) seriously? I cant watch this... |
