| Let's go Schwarzesmarken!! Don't crush my hopes and dreams like Taimadou adaption... |
| as of right now all i'll be watching is durarara!! Anything else a must watch? |
| Phantasy Star Online looks better than I thought it would, but it will probably be bad. |

| :) |
| Winter looks better than last year. There's some promising shows and sequels while so other that seems not so promising. |
 |
| I'm looking forward to absolutely nothing. Well, I'm still hopeful. |
| Other than Macross Delta, Mahou Shoujo Nante Mou Ii Desukara., Teekyu 7, Ooyasan wa Shishunki!, and season 2 of GATE, it's dreadful. |
 |
| At least Haikyuu will still be airing.. |
| Winter is looking quite dull already. The only shows that may be able to shine are Shouwa Shinjuu and Akagami S2. Ansatsu S2 and BokuMachi should be fine too, but won't really count too much on Lerche and A-1. |
 |
| Will watch Sekkou Boys. Unsure on the rest. |
| Sieg Zeon! |
| This doesn't looks as bad as last 2015 Winter, it will have good OPs and EDs, even some series being bad (Kawada Mami is back!!!!!!) My picks: Hype: - Musaigen no Phantom World - Boku dake ga Inai Machi - Dagashi Kashi - Durarara!!x2 Ketsu - Gate: Jieitai Kanochi nite, Kaku Tatakaeri - Enryuu-hen - Dimension W - Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu - Schwarzesmarken - Nijiiro Days Might be fun: - Macross Δ - Prince of Stride: Alternative - Active Raid: Kidou Kyoushuushitsu Dai Hakkei - Haruchika: Haruta to Chika wa Seishun Suru - Norn9: Norn+Nonet - Shoujo-tachi wa Kouya wo Mezasu - Ojisan to Marshmallow - Os-hiete! Galko-chan - Nurse Witch Komugi-chan R - Hai to Gensou no Grimgar - Teekyuu 7 - Akagami no Shirayuki-hime 2nd Season - Ao no Kanata no Four Rhythm - Mahou Shoujo Nante Mou Ii Desukara. - Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku wo! - Ajin - Kono Danshi, Mahou ga Oshigoto Desu. - Ooyasan wa Shishunki! - Yami Shibai 3rd Season Will be bad, probably: - Saijaku Muhai no Bahamut - Phantasy Star Online 2 The Animation - Bubuki Buranki - Luck & Logic - Reikenzan: Hoshikuzu-tachi no Utage - Divine Gate - Koukaku no Pandora |
| Nijiiro Days and Akagami no Shirayuki-hime 2nd Season.. <3 |
| I'll be watching: Winter doesn't look too bad for me, but I just want spring to come... for Boku no Hero Academia and Magi: Sinbad no Bouken (TV) |
 |
| Some of these synopsis do actually sound good, despite not having true 'hype' releases, winter is not so bad I would say. |
 I don't watch as much anime as before... |
Overall, still gonna give a shot for the majority of them but i'm not gonna try to force myself to watch everything like this Fall. It become a chore at the end when half of them is average and boring af. :( (and i failed to not drop one because i dropped Lance n masques, it was so fuckin shit that i couldnt handle it anymore.) |
 |
| Things I'm fucking hyped for: -Ansatsu Kyoushitsu S2 -All Out!! Will watch: -Prince of Stride -Norn9 (Ayahi <3) -Dagashi Kashi -Nijiiro Days Continuing things: -Haikyuu!! S2 Psst, Ketsuekigata-kun! 4 episodes are only 2 minutes long. And maybe some kind of indicator that the Kono Danshi "TV series" is only 4 total episodes? |
 |

| I could've sworn it was, wtf. Guess it's because we've gotten info already. It's probably spring then. Oh well, still got lots of other series to look forward to. |
|
| I will watch Koukaku no Pandora because Studio Gokumi. Gokumi's been pretty good with actions spiced with yuri. The rest...I honestly can't care two cent about. Also: Fuck you Seven Arcs, where is my Nanoha Movie 3rd? |

| befriend (v.): To violently attack someone with very dangerous and extremely powerful blasts of magical pink light until your target sees the validity of your viewpoint. |
| I always give everything a try. Hopefully, there will be some pleasant surprises. Obviously, Sekkou Boys is the one I'm looking forward to the most. |
| Ooh boy I can't wait! There are so many in this preview that I'm dying to start watching. GATE season 2 is my number one priority. |
 |
| There are plenty of interesting shows, though i'm prioritizing the secuels (actually i'm forcing myself to watch gate s2 though actually i find it hard to improve my opinion about the show), and then try some new stuff like dimension W and sekkou boys (the latter i dunno why i'm too hyped lel). |
| Actually looks better than past seasons. I might watch some after taking a look at the PVs. Junichi Suwabe's character in Prince of Stride is pretty similar to Ootori in Starmyu, lol. Also, I love Haruchika's art and Saijaku Muhai character design. Really looks lovely. Bubuki Buranki's animation seems the same type on Aoki Hagane no Arpeggio. I'm not really sure about this Winter season but definitely looks better than Fall. |
| Welp, definitely watching Akagami no Shirayuki-hime S2 since I really enjoyed the first season. Other than that I'm planning to watch (knowing me though I'll probably fail massively at keeping up with all--or any of them): A few more I'm half interested in but I think I've already gone overboard. |
| PTW: - Musaigen no Phantom World - Nijiiro Days - Boku dake ga Inai Machi - Dagashi Kashi - Hai to Gensou no Grimgar - Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu Might watch: - Norn9: Norn+Nonet - Haruchika: Haruta to Chika wa Seishun Suru - Divine Gate - Sekkou Boys Continuation: - Kidou Senshi Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans - Haikyuu!! S2 - Utawarerumono: Itsuwari no Kamen And the sequels of the shows I followed previously ofc. That's about it, I think. |
| Stay Home and Wash Your Hands. Protect Yourself. Protect Your Loved Ones. Protect Your Community and Help Defeat Coronavirus. |
| Really only interested in Dagashi Kashi. |
| I'm going to try and learn from my past seasonal mistakes, and only watch what I'm genuinely interested in, and avoid forcing myself through garbage. I'm mostly interested in the sequels (Ass Class, DRRR!!, Akagami) and Haikyuu!! continuing onto it's 2nd cour this season. apart from that, I've read a little of Nijiiro Days so I'm definitely excited for that one. my blind picks are probably gonna be Divine Gate (bc that seiyuu line-up) and ERASED. they look interesting. so not a heavy load for me this season, and I guess that's good because I forced myself/struggled through so much shit last Winter season. I might pick up extra stuff based of the chatter on MAL/around the web, but that's it for now. |
| Still no acknowledgement of Koyomimonogatari's existence and that it's airing on the 9th of January? OK then. Anyway, even with Koyomimonogatari, my Saturdays this season look a bit less crowded and the new series are more spaced out than in Autumn. Anyway, my choices this season: Musaigen No Phantom World Ansatstu Kyoushitsu 2nd Season Boku Dake Ga Inai Machi Dagashi Kashi Ojisan To Marshmallow Durarara!!x2 Ketsu Gate: Jieitai Kanochi nite, Kaku Tatakaeri - Enryuu-hen KOYOMIMONOGATARI (this exists, so give it a page already) Hai To Gensou No Grimgar Saijaku Muhai No Bahamut Akagami No Shirayuki-hime 2nd Season Ao No Kanata No Four Rhythm Kono Subarashii Sekai Ni Shukufuku Wo! Ajin Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu Most hyped for Boku Dake Ga Inai Machi, though there are a few other shows which catch my eye, as well as loads that will end up totally sucking. Oh, and I've got Heavy Object and Utawarerumono continuing from Autumn as well. |

| Gate Season 2 is the only one I'm looking forward to for the Winter Lineup. |
 |
| Actually looking forward to this season, mainly for Grimgal, Dimension W and GATE, only ones I'm not 100% sure on are Shoujo-tachi and Ao no Kanata (and kinda Ajin too), not sure why I want to watch them but I will try I guess. Season actually looks pretty small for me when I put it in a list like this, thought there'd be more stuff. Some goodies and some shows with potential in here tho, doubt I'll try any other shows unless they get really good reception. |
Paulo27Dec 18, 2015 12:38 AM
 |
| Maybe it's just because it's a new season with new potential, but Winter feels like it has more promise than Fall had back before it started. |
 |
| Pretty good lineup compared to Fall. |
| Why do I feel like Winter's season doesn't have that much anime? Anyway, I'm looking forward to some of those anime. Oh, I also like how the preview thread looks like this season :D |
| Finally a new season which seems to have some potential, it's been a while. Now let's see how many of these will actally deliver. Guaranteed watch: Ass Class s2 Drrr Snow White Will try out: Prince of Stride: Alternative Musaigen no Phantom World Dimension W Ao no Kanata no Four Rhythm Ajin (if anyone subs it, lol) Might try out: Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu Bubuki Buranki Divine Gate Dagashi Kashi Boku dake ga Inai Machi Active Raid + my continuing anime from fall: Osomatsu-san Haikyuu s2 Utawarerumono Gundam IBO And I'll probably try out some shorts. |

| OMG! January 7 will be an awesome day for me!!!!!! |
 |
| Nothing I'm interested in at first glance/watching the PV's |
strider_91 said: Finally a new season which seems to have some potential, it's been a while. Now let's see how many of these will actally deliver. Really? It looks already shitter than fall. it looks better to me since there are more new shows which aren't sequels which seem like they might be worth a shot fall was a bad season carried by a few really good sequels and one punch man + a few surprise shows like osomatsu and the new gundam or maybe I'm just being optimistic since 2015 was a horrible year for anime and I'm hoping for a better 2016 |
| :3 |
| sure: Macross Δ Musaigen no Phantom World Norn9: Norn+Nonet Sekkou Boys Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu Kono Danshi, Mahou ga Oshigoto Desu. maybe: Prince of Stride: Alternative Active Raid: Kidou Kyoushuushitsu Dai Hakkei Haruchika: Haruta to Chika wa Seishun Suru Boku dake ga Inai Machi Dagashi Kashi Dimension W Ao no Kanata no Four Rhythm Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku wo! maybe i'll drop: Shoujo-tachi wa Kouya wo Mezasu Nijiiro Days Hai to Gensou no Grimgar Saijaku Muhai no Bahamut Schwarzesmarken Ajin tho i'm sure i'll keep watching only 2 from these like usual, one of these surely being macross |
 |
| SO many shows to look forward to, hoping that these shows will be interesting High Prio: Dagashi Kashi AssClass Med Prio: Boku dake ga Inai Machi Sekkou Boys Bubuki Buranki Ajin Shoujo-tachi wa Kouya wo Mezasu Haruchika Musaigen no Phantom World Grimgar Low Prio Ao no Kanata no Four Rhythm Koukaku no Pandora Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku wo! |
 |
| Hm proably will watch the first ep of everything (except the sequels of series I haven't watched) This winter list looks way better than last year's |
| Another season of "not much stands out I guess". With no real impressive shows(this season had Concrete Revolutio, Summer had Rokka, before that we had Garo and Kekkai Sensen, but this Winter seems to be devoid of anything htat truly stands out) Will Watch: - Durarara!!x2 Ketsu. - Dimension W - second best op in the season it seems. Unique setting. Great designs. Seinen. What's not to like? - Ajin - The setting and the cgi seems promising enough. - Sushi Police - its always nice to see self-aware political satire. Its nice to see that the silly bullshit the politicians said about overseas sushi restaurants has long since become a meme. Dig the stylized design and the music in the pv. - Boku dake ga Inai Machi - always dig a good mystery show(as long as it is good and not...well...Perfect Insider). The PV looks good and devoid of usual anime tropes too. - Divine Gate - badass op song, top notch character designs. Unless the studio manages to turn this into a horrible trash,this should be watchable. - Sekkou Boys - ALL OF MY YES to this. - Bubuki Buranki- even if story ends up a mess, worth solely for top notch cgi animation already. - Schwarzesmarken - Hopefully this leads to eventual adaptation of Muv Luv and Muv Luv Alternative. - Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu Will Try: - Macross Δ - pls don't suck, pls don't suck. Macross usually is good but the character designs so far do not inspire confidence. - Luck & Logic - It all depends on how generic this will get and whether action will be good. No hopes: - Active Raid: well out of all pvs this was amongst one of most generic. The op sounds awful, the highschooler filled cast looks horrible, the art style is generic. Might try but I don't expect anything from this. - Norn9 : obligatory "bunch of masculine jackasses abuse a bland submissive female mc for whole series" show. also known As otome game adaptation. Unless they start singing(like with Dance with Devils), don't see any reason to watch this. - Hai to Gensou no Grimgar: Ughhhh. Will try and see I guess. PVs look trashy as all hell tho :/ Trash: Musaigen no Phantom World - holy chuuni gods. What will it take for kyoani to go finally defunct instead of spewing out this crap? IF the studio, the setting and horrible character designs was not cringe enough, the synopsis filled with the most outlandish chuuni "terminology" makes it clear at how trashy this will be. Dagashi Kashi - character designs that can cause nightmares. Koukaku no Pandora - obligatory "we cater to neets with moe" show. Saijaku Muhai no Bahamut - obligatory generic ln adaptation, with very cancerous genre tags. And the boob grab. Obligatory LN adaptation boob grab. Pass. Mahou Shoujo Nante Mou Ii Desukara. - Why is this a thing? Oh right. Neets. |

| Ooyasan airs on Sunday(10 Jan), for those interested. Its also a short, sadly. |
| I may not watch them at the same season, but looking forward on those anime. |
| Looking forward to Ajin since I don't mind about CGI. Other than that, Macross Δ, Assassination Classroom Season 2, Gate: Jieitai Kanochi Nite, Kaku Tatakaeri - Enryuu-hen and Hai To Gensou No Grimgar looks promising. Will try all of them to see whether there's good among them or not. |
