Shiba Inuko-San - furry bull**** Arashi no Yoru ni - furry bull**** Digital Remaster of Nadia something - pass even though I have no idea what it's about cardfight vangaurd season 2 - doubtful, I probably won't even ever finish season 1 Hyouka - lit club + mystery bull**** means it's probably going to be terrible but I will almost surely try it out Shining Hearts - no idea what this is but it sounds like a jRPG aka something only 13 years olds, SuperAngelo128, and swordz9 would be interested in. if it has Go Shiina on the soundtrack, NioraptH as well NYARYL~ - hell yeah, will watch of course Hiiro no Kakera - obligatory reverse harem series of the season that I will be PASSing on as always yurumates - this sounds like it might actually be interesting. will check it out. although since she literally graduated from high school and is planning on going to college it will be difficult for NEETs such as myself and swordz9 to identify with the main character Shirokuma Cafe - Daily Lives of Bears. **** yes Koi-Ken! - I got as far as dating sim and then my brain immediately triggered the 'pass' flag. sorry, I'll leave this one to the rest of you since it is more your speed.

Beyblade - I guess this is still popular in Japan. Well, good for Beyblade.
Accel World - Silly premise but maybe it will have good action or something. That thing has a terrible character design though what is that
Mysterious Girlfriend X - I've received intel from swordz9 himself that this probably isn't as fanservicey as it seems but literally all of the studios anime are ecchi anime so maybe they will embellish it. I'll check it out though, probably masturbate to the fanservice, and then say it's terrible which I assume everyone else will be secretly doing doing.
POLARBEAR CAFE - I don't know how I can say no.
Saki Spinoff or something - I downloaded the first show recently so I will probably watch that soon and I will watch this if I like it.
AKB0048 - My god this sounds so dumb. Even dumber than "AKB48 anime" sounds. Also the girls are really weird and gross looking for being an anime about an idol group.
Queen's Blade Rebellion - probably masturbate to the fanservice, and then say it's terrible which I assume everyone else will be secretly doing doing.
Koi-ken - dating sims on cell phones what will they think of next
space bros - eh, sounds kind of boring actually. I'm thinking most people anticipating it will probably be disappointed but who knows! Gakkatsu! - this sounds like it might actually be funny (debate comedy) and sort of unique as well. plus it'll be a 5 minute flash series so even if it's not great it won't take much effort to follow. definitely planning to watch this. more Pretty Rhythm - disappointing show, doubt I'll even consider the second season worth watching Thomas - no Amnesia Girl - makes me think about how I wish I could have amnesia and forget that kurtfisto exists, but I doubt I'll watch this since it sounds dumb Jormungand - I'll try it out, probably be offended by how dumb and unrealistic it is, and immediately drop it Natuiro no Kiseki - what will they think of next Train Hero - not interested Tsuritama - I'll probably wait and try this out after it is done airing, I've noticed that is sort of a pattern with noitaminA shows and me mysterious girlfriend X - I have received intel from swordz9 that the series isn't entirely about awesome drool fetish stuff so I will PASS Queen's Blade - isn't there like 20 seasons of this already lmao how do people even watch this crap. oh wait *looks at Zea's write-up* now I see

That moment when you yourself are confused at why you're still watching a certain show, but at the same time know why you're still watching it.
Working'!!
Hopefully the only show I only watch because of... technically two people, but one is tied to another one in order for the show to remain actually funny.
Other than that. Finished Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood and this time a canon relationship made me pause the anime and cheer (as of spoilers, it wasn't EdWin).
As well finished another older anime, Elemental Gelade. Not a bad anime, but was just predictable. Good ending but odd in one aspect that made no sense, but nevermind that part.

Official Pidgeot of the B/W Boards Clan Quite frankly my Deerling, I don't give a Wormadam- GenesisSaga
Souma is pretty great. Yamada is also pretty funny although I found her a little more annoying in the second season. cause the stuff she had done in season 1 that was more funny, they just drove it into the ground with her doing her gimmicks over and over into and through all of season 2 with no real change or development.
Column 3
Saint Seiya Omega - never seen Saint Seiya but it is shounen **** soccer anime mk2 - I don't like soccer more Jewelpet - I wish this show was easier to keep up with since it's actually pretty hilarious Kuroko no Basuke - I do like basketball, will probably check this one out at the very least Eureka Seven AO - not interested second season ZOMBIE - nope, not even if they added Cordelia from Milky Holmes to the cast Sankarea - this is going to depend on what the show is actually about. I may do some research or I might just wait and watch the first ep. if it is ecchi or shounen romance I will just PASS. anything else, I may give it a try. Kimi to Boku 2 - Sakamichi no Apollon - this doesn't really POP to me so I'll probably pass, although at the very least it doesn't sound awful like most of the anime that has come out in the last two years! Accel World - lol hell no AKB0048 - earlier I asked the question 'what will they think of next'. apparently, this was it.
-- Destroying evil with friendship~ http://i.imgur.com/vV9Ar.gif
caught up with bleach up through aizen's defeat. holy crap what a terrible finish. for how prolonged the arrancar arc was it still seemed rushed and anti-climactic at the end.
Ozuma - heck yeah. this is the spring show that stood out to me immediately as the one I would want to see ahead of all others. even if it turns out to not be as good as expected, I'll probably follow through with it just because it has a mysterious factor which draws me to it.
Rock Lee - dumb idea
Sengoku Collection - I can't even tell what this is. an anime based on a social networking based game or
Upotte!! - what do you call anthropomorphized guns anyway. either way, this is one step removed from furry bull**** (if that)
Phi Brain s2 - eh. if I ever get around the finishing the first season (not likely. too long and not interesting enough)
Fate/Zero cont. - nope
Acchi Kocchi - this looks like it might be a 5 min flash series, in which case I will follow it if it gets subbed.
Medaka Box - sounds dumb, doubt I'll even try it
ZETMAN - eh, I dunno. this one is right on the line. if there aren't any good shows next season I'll probably try this one out. if there's a few shows that I'm already watching that I like, I probably won't bother
Beyblade - never seen a Beyblade show, never want to. hey lefty what's up
Saki spin-off - extreme shoujo ai mahjong hell yes

Edwardsdv presents: The bad taste Spring Anime Chart Reviews
For those keeping track at home, I have 10 and a half shows ending this time. Will I be able to find replacements for them all WHO KNOWS?!?!
Ozuma I admit the premise here seems interesting and zea's right the "lost" anime thing makes me really intrigued. Throw in that its short, has mech in the premise and that parts of the premise deal with cloning, population demographiccollapse and traders in the desert, that its an original work and I almost wish it was significantly longer
Interest level: very high Picking up: For sure
Saint Seiya Omega I have never been into Saint Seiya but the concept does seem interesting to me. It's an unknown length but with Bleach ending I do have room for another long-runner. I like mythology and while I am sure that Saint Seiya Omega will differ greatly from it it triggers my interest.
Interest Level: Medium Picking Up: Try-out
SPACE BROS Bros from space. I feel like this will be one of those shows I will either love or hate. While on the one hand it seems like it could be stupid the synopsis greatly differs from the hype I've heard from it. The concept reminds me of Planetes to be honest, which is different from the SPACE BROS OMG WHAT A FUNNY TITLE hype. I'll give it a shot.
Interest Level: 5.5 Picking up?: Try-out
Shiba Inuko-chan A couple weeks ago saveus_maria made a joke about this series. I suspect that joke will be funnier than the series itself.
Interest level: swordz9/10 Picking Up: LMAO

Rock Lee Welllll. No thanks. Not a fan of Naruto in the first place. Certainly not going to start for this thing.
Interest level: As interested as I am in the most recent anime sales figures Picking Up: When Rock Lee flies
Ginga e Kickoff Whats with all the sports anime lately? Was there a really popular one that set the stage for this recently? Anyway this probably wont be as good as even Knight in the Area and long-running sports anime... no thanks.
Interest level: Sports anime/10 Picking Up: When I run out of other things to do ever.
Gakkatsu Look at DAT synopsis. According to MAL:
In a fictional school, "Tender Tank" Rareko is constantly opening absurd yet strangely enthusiastic debates, this way creating a lively classroom life. Bringing up tremendous themes, she and her classmates exchange words like sword-strokes, and here and there even a profound remark is slipped in.
A fun and informative debate comedy, packed into only five minutes each time.
huh well this does sound interesing. Ok sure, lets pick it up.
Interest level: piqued Picking up: For sure
Wolf and Goat Anime 4kids.

From: saveus_Maria | #010 Sankarea - this is going to depend on what the show is actually about. I may do some research or I might just wait and watch the first ep. if it is ecchi or shounen romance I will just PASS.
yeah you're passing
-- thelefty for analysis crew 2008 imo -tranny I have a third degree burn in flame-o-nomics -Sir Chris
I am returning to the topic for the new season (not that I ever left, I just don't post).
Ima just skip the stuff I will never watch.
Cardfight!! - I will probably watch the first season eventually and might pick this up. Hyouka - Seems like it could be interesting but I probably will come back and watch it. Shining Hearts - Im not sure about it at all and will probably not watch as it airs. Nyaruko-san - Going to watch as it airs cause of the pose in the picture. Yurumates - I might end up watching it, need more information. Koi-Ken! - Ima check it out and see what its like
Kikansha Thomas - Recently my parents have told me that I used to love Thomas and with this airing now it might be a sign that I should watch it. But im not going to. Tasogare OtomexAmnesia - I don't really like shows with a ghost heroine cause I either feel bad for the mc or they get together and the ending is ruined. Jormungand - too much thinking for me too watch. Tsuritama - Will probably watch but not as it airs. Nazo no Kanojo X - I don't like the premise but if I hear its really good I might look into it. But probably not.
Based on a moe social networking service says it all to be honest. Skipping it
Jewelpet Kira Deko Sequel to a show I once dropped. Skipping it.
Pretty Rhythm Dear My Future Sequel to a show I once dropped. Skipping it
Nadia, the Secret of Blue Water digital remaster
I pulled this synopsis from MAL.
In 1889, the world is on the pinnacle of great discoveries in technology. In mankind's grasp for the future, a sinister foe known only as Gargoyle, obsessed with restoring the former Atlantean empire to the glory it once held, begins his plans to take over the world. Nadia, with the help of a young inventor, Jean Ratlique, and Captain Nemo of the submarine Nautilus, must fight to save the world from Gargoyle and Neo-Atlantis. Based on the Novel '20,000 Leagues Under the Sea' by Jules Verne.
This actually seems really interesting in the same way that the other "anime based on classic lit" is and I may actually watch this one day but watching a completed series re-air is dumb.
Interest level: Fairly High Picking up: maybe the full series later
--
http://img.imgcake.com/nio/81edpngej.png The one and only Underdog Millionaire and UCA CORPORATE Champion
also that is some interesting info on Nadia and makes it actually sound pretty neat. although it's not something I'll likely watch while it is airing, if at all.
-- Destroying evil with friendship~ http://i.imgur.com/Oe1x6.gif http://i.imgur.com/L7Xj3.gif http://i.imgur.com/6vDHh.gif
Phi Brain S2 Just like CFV I made it though part of this series but just wasnt quite interested enough to continue. So uh, no thanks.
Eureka 7 Ao I am cautiously optimistic about this as E7 is one of my favorites. However a sequel this far removed from the original could go either way. Anyway definitely picking it up
Interest level: high Picking up: Definitely
Tasogare OtomexAmnesia
literally an anime about a ghost girl. It looks it could be okay but I have no opinion on it as of yet.
Interest level: low picking up: if it gets good reviews Ill take a look.
Hyouka
Its a mystery anime whose only real distinguishing feature is that it is being animated by kyo ani. This will probably garner it a large number of watchers to review it.
Interest level: low Picking up: If it gets good reviews

http://img.imgcake.com/nio/81edpngej.png The one and only Underdog Millionaire and UCA CORPORATE Champion
Ozuma Weird noses the anime. Premise sounds like it could be good, but I'm actually guessing it'll be just an above average title.
Saint Seiya Omega How long is this? Do I want to commit 3 years to this show? Do I even want to commit 1/4 of a year? Probably not.
Space Bros I see on the picture there is a dog in a spacesuit. Spacedog the anime. Could be a good emotional type.
Shiba Inuko-san What?
Rock Lee tries to be Chris Rock the anime See the title of the anime.
Ginga e Kickoff!! Are they seriously dumping another soccer anime on us? Even if this is good, it's going to have a hard time staying on a watch list with Knight in the Area currently lobying for the top spot next season.
Gakkatsu Looks like it might be fun.
Arashi no Yoru ni If you change the animals with a fox and a dog and such you could have a good show.
I like the basic premise. Reminds me of some sort of middle ground between Haruhi and Sket Dance. And while I hate haruhi, I love Sket Dance. Picking up for sure.
Interest: High Picking up: Yup
Kimi to Boku 2
Sequel of a show I loved. Picking up.
Train Hero
Seems interesting, but also hardly seems to be anime.
Hiiro no reverse harem
No thanks

http://img.imgcake.com/nio/81edpngej.png The one and only Underdog Millionaire and UCA CORPORATE Champion
Kuroko no Basuke looks pretty awesome, gonna check that out. Definetely gonna check out Rock Lee when I'm caught up on Naruto. Also considdered Sankarea and Natsuiro.
Then see what gets good ratings and check that out.

Nio-chan and Ctes: http://img.imgcake.com/nio/Untitledpngyn.png BroAndCharAndCtes: http://i.imgur.com/oBQfY.png
Seems like one of those pretentiously dark anime that I hate but most people love.
Interest level: none
Sakamichi no Apollon
noitamina has been kind of week recently, but I do generally enjoy coming of agestories and this sounds like a decent one.
Interest level: Medium Picking up:Trial
Tsuritama
This one sounds crazy and the artstyle looks really distinctive. I like me a good anime with a crazy premise. Let's do it!
Interest level: High Picking up: For sure
Yurumates
The concept sounds kind of neat but I was expecting a more josei/seinen kind of artstyle and the one provided doesnt look like itll go that way. I could be convinced to pick this up if its good though.
--
http://img.imgcake.com/nio/81edpngej.png The one and only Underdog Millionaire and UCA CORPORATE Champion
Just one episode left of Highschool DxD now. I have really been enjoying that actually. Hope it gets a second season. Well, we do have an OVA to come this fall at least.
--
Nio-chan and Ctes: http://img.imgcake.com/nio/Untitledpngyn.png BroAndCharAndCtes: http://i.imgur.com/oBQfY.png
A sequel to an anime I love but this looks like it has a different everything. It may not be very good at all. But I'll check it out
Interest:High Picking up:Trial
AKB0048
This reminds me of Macross only without the mecha/political aspects. It might be interesting butI suspect itll have more in common with Idolm@ster than Macross.
I'll wait on the reviews for this one
Interest: Medium Picking up: not right away.
Queens Blade, no thanks
Koiekn is a mobile phone game, probably wont be good.
--
http://img.imgcake.com/nio/81edpngej.png The one and only Underdog Millionaire and UCA CORPORATE Champion
Kimi to Boku 2 Zombie 2 Eureka 7 2 Accel World Medaka Box Tsuritama Gakkatsu Ozuma
Trial Anime(8.5):
Saint Seiya Omega Nazo no Kanojo Saki 2 Sakimichi no APollon Acchi Kocchi Sankarea Natsuiro no Kiseki Shining Hearts Jormungand
So I am replacing 10.5 anime with potentially 16, though probably significantly less once some(see nearly all of the trial and likely more than one of the FO SHOS) of these get culled out.
--
http://img.imgcake.com/nio/81edpngej.png The one and only Underdog Millionaire and UCA CORPORATE Champion
From: saveus_Maria | #021 also that is some interesting info on Nadia and makes it actually sound pretty neat. although it's not something I'll likely watch while it is airing, if at all.
And yeah this makes it sound really interesting. But Ive got such a backlog that itll be a long time.

Ozuma Space Bros Eureka Seven AO Hyouka Fate/zero 2 Jormungand Nyaruko Kimi to Boku 2 ZETMAN Sakamichi no Apollon Tsuritama Accel World Mysterious Girlfriend X
Probably Zombie and Saki as well plus I'll check out anything else that gets a good reception.
