1. Natsume’s Book of Friends 2
Looking forward to it.
I'm sort of scared to watch Natsume 2... I know I'll cry at least a dozen times. Guaranteed. =(
Guess I gotta start watching the first and second season then.... sigh....work, work, work......
Screw work Yoshii-kun and watch it now. :3
Tsk tsk tsk.
"Watching" was what I meant as work, Dust.
she has those crazy eyes from that episode of how i met your mother
Im scared at the piture above. That girl is CREEPY
I'll shed a few manly tears watching it.
i shedded a few MANRY TEARS AS WELL!!!THEY ARE MANRY! lol seriously though i cant wait :D
this season is natsume 3. it already had an s2
yEAH.
tHE FIRST SEAZON WAS GREAT. cALM BUT INTERESTING.
rEVERSE cAPS lOCK ftw!
oH ANON. yOU SO CRAZZZZZZZZZY
Same, that show and letter bee were both great at bringing me to tears.
Baka to test its the only one i know, lol
how good are the others?
Gah! Why did I stop watching Natsume!? It's so hard trying to keep track of all the anime releases Dx
Baka to Test to Shoukanjyuu is an anime ANN would typically hound to the 7th layer of hell but it has a special place for me.
Back in high school, my class was the lowest in rank. We had to be called to the principal's office at least once every fucking month, and one of my bros were busted possessing porn in school. Hypocrite teachers had the lowest expectations and worst treatments toward us and the nerd always leered at us with disgust.
Yet our class scored most all-A earners in our stream during national exam, and most of us got jobs within months of graduating university. 3 are completing their Masters around this year. I being the most stupid and lowest underachiever still got away with 3.6 CGPA, and I'm glad to say that we managed to pull through that hell because we had each other, and not the two-faced, politics-obsessed teachers.
So, watching this anime would be like watching an idealized reinterpretation of my highschool years, though at least Yoshii had a cool grandma...
You made my day bro...or did I make yours? :3

Cool story! And yeah, unfortunately, grades are incredibly politicized as a 'thing' that professors, teachers and students keep chasing after. Believe it or not, the cram was even worse in Japan. Some kids even taking career-altering exams so they could get into a good junior high.. just insane.
I like BakaTest, but maybe they need to tone down on the novel passages and the 'splash words on screen for a millisecond' thing. I hated it when Zetsubou Sensei did it too, but that was more like nano-seconds of words.
we could care less about your high school years....
You must be a K-On lover
i'm a k-on lover, i care, and i liked the story
I don't get it. I'm a k-on lover and I cared
Doesn't matter to me.
As always I'll watch the first episode of everything and judge from there.
Though the OVA's for the Summer have me salivating...
Why it's called "Natsume’s Book of Friends 2" when it's the third season?
Good point. It's actually called
"Natsume Yuujin-Chou San"
Natsume's Book of Friends 3.
The second season was "Zoku Natsume Yuujin-Chou" which was more like Natsume's Book of Friends: Continuation.
Though I think they're wrangling up the 2 cour (20+ episode) thing together... so it's kind of seen as a second season..
Weird, isn't it?
Whoooo
Nyanko sensei is back.
So every anime in this ranking is shounen,slice and life, comedy or moe right?
Nothing like FMP:SR i mean dark mecha story with lesbo sisters, crazy villian, violence and awsome fight scenes.
Or something like black lagoon with manly girl you actually want to fuck hard.
Have you seen Kamisama Dolls' trailer?
That looks good!
BAKA TO TEST!!! *A*
kamisama dolls
a little above average!.
the manga that is... lol
The best anime of the season has been decided....
RO-KYU-BU!
You mean that anime that gave those idiot producers the idea to turn all 5 main voice actresses into a lame girlband(they call it 'seiyuu unit')? FUCK THAT SHIT.
Despite the fact that it has Yoko Hikasa, I'mma skip it. The only 'band' Hikasa is in that I'm willing to waste cash for is Houkago Tea Time. That is all.
I don't see that as lame
Have you not seen the brief clip for the theme song where all five voice actresses pranced around doing dance moves typical of Nickelodeon singalong programs meant for children below 5 years old? Not to mention the substandard pop song.
This shit with AKB-wannabe seiyuu pop groups need to stop. Unfortunately, them bitches don't have much choice because being young means they get paid jackshit and have to rely on side activities like photoshoots and singing. Still can't help bitching about it though, because Aki Toyosaki and Minako Kotobuki both are stuck being in that shitty pop act 'Sphere' instead of going further with the rest of the K-ON cast and become full-fledge rock band.
I only hope Nurarihyon no Mago is as good as the manga.
iirc its the second season, i actualy watched the anime first before starting to follow the manga.
The first season actually does get as good as the manga, but it is only until after they change the opening you'll see it, as they started using better animation, music; and other small details that made it more enjoyable. If you've already read the manga, I recommend watching from the second op onwards :P
no love for usagi drop?
For fuck's sake, when is Shana season 3 coming out?!
In october.
Definitely Nurarihyon no Mago
6. Nurarihyon no Mago
If it weren't for Tsurara I wouldn't watch this series..
Where's Toaru Kagaku no Railgun? I miss Misaka, Misaka, Misaka, is coming....
Fall series in October, not summer series in July.
Persona 4: The Animation fucking where?
thats for fall.
