So what are people planning to watch? Here's my list.

And as usual I'll guess the show that no one but me will watch. This time I think it'll be Symphogear.

Really?  I actually thought it seemed pretty interesting, and I might pick it up depending on future info/how much else I want to watch.

The other ones I'm interested in at the moment are:

Nisemonogarari
Another
Rinne no Lagrange
Black Rock Shooter

Also, does anyone know if the Gundam Seed HD Remaster would be a good place to start with Gundam?  Was the original any good?

First thing I see on chart is Loli solders... =_=

Might check Symphogear out, but honestly I'm getting SkyGirls/StrikeWitches vibes already XP

Lesse... watching:

  • Natsume4
  • Zero no Tsukaima 4 - Saito you better kick ass in that tank! (I think it's actually a panzer)
  • Another
  • Brave10 - if YUKIMURA is badass enough in this; it's seinen rather than shounen so should be interesting :D
  • Kill Me Baby - because this has Fumoffu! potential :D
  • I need a real shoujo series dammit!


I hope the actual Minami Kuribayashi voices the MC of Gokujyo

and Toradora! BD is coming out this month ^O^

Gradon:
I can tell you I freaking loved Gundam SEED. Honestly, it's suppose to be the Gundam aimed towards non-Gundam fans and is probably one of the best (anti-)war drama series I've ever seen. If you want a good melodrama and a main character whose not ridiculously passive/indecisive at start of the series (rather rare in Gundam), I suggest trying it out. But prepare for a lot of angst--- I'd say Kira handles it rather well compared to most drama leads, but finding your best friend on the different side of a TOTAL WAR is never fun business.
also, Kira-Athrun-Cagalli-Lacus' relationship (it's complicated xD) is Haruhi-tier \o/

HOLY FKING--- No it's not a Panzer
IT'S A KING TIGER!

Matt do you know if there's any significance to that number '324' for TigerIIs? Given that there were quite a few famous aces that piloted Tigers.

I mean it's my safe bet since I can name at least one person I know who will be watching each of the other shows for sure. Until now I haven't heard anyone express an opinion in Symphogear other than me. Actually...I know someone who I think might watch it with me if I can talk her into it.

>>28132
Probably going to watch SEED HD at some point but too many things currently. I can't stand it being the only anime on my dropped list.

I guess I will watch it then.  =P

>>28135

I think the lack of PV for it also is a reason why a lot of people don't seem to have a solid opinion of it.

Let' see:

Nisemonogatari
Space Pirates
Lagrange
Black Rock Shooter
Symphogear
Aquarion EVOL

Maybe Basketarmy and SEED HD.

As for Turret Number 324, nothing special seems to have come out from google. The only decorated tank ace to have driven a KT seemsto be Kurt Knispel, and his tank assignment in the 503rd isn't listed. The only noticable tank with 324 was listed as a Tiger I in the 101st SS Heavy Tank Battalion, serving in the same unit as Michael Wittmann, tank 205.

Another
Kyousogiga
black rock shooter
Aquarion

I read some of Kill me baby.  If it's like the manga, I'll have to watch it.

My family is excited about the Kenshin movie, so I'm sure I'll be seeing how that turns out.

Looks there is a PV for Symphogear now...



Seems like it could be interesting, although I'm still not sure what I should be expecting from it.

EDIT:
I've found three other shows that seem pretty interesting and might give a go this season:

Ano Natsu de Matteru
Area no Kishi
Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou

I personally found the manga of Area no Kishi a little boring. Although, I did think the initial premise for the main character and his motivation for playing soccer is so over-the-top and dramatic that it's kinda hilarious (I'm not sure whether that's a point in its favor or not). Lan-Anh read more of it than I did, so you could ask her for her opinion. I dunno, I'm also just generally skeptical about how they'd handle the pacing of the game itself. This is soccer we're talking about. I didn't watch Giant Killing, so I don't know how well it's been done before.

    I can always count on Satellite to up the frames during music scenes.

    Speaking of which I translated the OP for Symphogear already if anyone is curious. (It starts playing around the 1:30 mark in the anime PV)

    This show is so serious business I'm not even joking. Don't want to post any other screencaps from Symphogear because spoilers all over the place so have this cool special attack instead.
