The Fujoshi Summer of 2014. Men, ready your weapons. For we have an uphill battle ahead of us.
Less than half these titles interest me. :(
I'm pumped for Sailor Moon Crystal, but I've stopped expecting it to EVER be aired at all, they tease us about it for 2 years now.

50th Anniversary Special.
Hanamonogatari? My body is ready.
Definitely the best of the bunch ^.^
TOp 3 worst animes of the season while Sailor Moon sits in 7th. DAMNIT JAPAN! WILL YOU EVER MAKE A LIST THAT MAKES SINCE!?
Not everyone shares your refined tastes.
Only intersted in Space Dandy and Prisma Ilya Zwei this summer out of this list
Yeah! Tokyo Ghoul~!!
> No Akame
Wat?
I know right? Personally its the anime I'm looking forward to the most this summer. Also as long as they don't go overboard with censoring I think it will turn out great
Good to know that I won't be using a ton of bandwidth this coming season.
Tokyo Ghoul, Psycho-Pass, and maybe Blade Dance.
Won't touch anything else.
space dandy 2, great i hope they can fix the mess they left on season 1, because i liked that crew a lot.
Sword Art Online is essentially Twilight for teenage boys; very badly written.
Unlike Twatlight, SAO has an actual plot.
Uhm, Twilight is for teenage GIRLS!
There's a new Strike Witches OVA out September 30th. Called Operation Victory Arrow, the first episode is 30 minutes.
Oh god that 1 and 2 are disgusting. Hells yeah @ 3, 7, 8, 12 and 19!
I still dont see Magipoka season 2 and Spice and Wolf season 3.
SPACE DANDUUU?! THE BEAUTY RETURNS!!!
obviously sailor moon man wtf
I only know and watch 2 shows....sao san yama no susume...lol
Where is Kancolle? Isn't it due this summer?
Yes, it is slated for this summer, but Kancolle was never in the top 20 in the original list.
That's awfully surprising, considering Kancolle's popularity in Japan.
Different demographic. Though there is a overlap, the game fans don't seem to care much for the anime.
Shitcolle is too lewd to be reported here.
i hope they don't screw up Seirei anime, the LN is very good
Sword Art Online is shit.
SAO just has pacing issues, plus some low budget battle scenes. It's not a bad series.
i loved the first arc but i think the second one was horrible.
Sword Art is awsome....go bitch somewere else....the one thing the internet dont need is another hater....dont like it keep quiet....go express your opinions on things you like...you are doing it wrong.
Considering around 50% of the summer anime line-up are made up of homo anime for fujoshi, SAO suddenly don't seem all that bad...sigh...
And if it were yuri?
Wrong, there is nothing wrong with homo anime, SAO can do better.
Everything is wrong with homo anything. If you by nature like to fuck men in the ass, you are wired the wrong way. There's a name for conditions of that kind - mental illness. Don't get me wrong though, I don't hate gay people, I just find it disgusting.
>23:01
The fujoshi hate on non-homo anime is strong in this one.
You're shit.
but we love shit!
problem?
Yeah, SAO is bad.
It's quite bad in ways that are really entertaining, you might even say "it's so bad it's good".
For this reason, I fully intend to enjoy every bit of it.
Well, I honestly don't see why SAO gets so much hate. It's cliched with bland characters, yes, but hardly anything that's completely repulsive.
Popular stuff is always hated by a minority that thinks they are better and have more refined taste. In reality, they don't get what other people see in it, so their instict is to defend their failure to understand it by saying it's "overrated", putting the blame on others in order to not feel like an outsider.
Sword Art Online has shit characters and terrible writing, it deserves the hate it gets. Its soulless waifushit, and none of the waifus are even any good.
The hate probably comes from the excessive popularity that doesn't match the actual quality of the substance.
Fujoshi hates that which is not completely repulsive.
i also think its shit....but i dont know why i watch it....i have a problem
if you listen to your heart instead of all the haters that jump on the anti-popularity-train, you will realize that it actually is good. Simple fact is, if you enjoy it, it is good.
I think its great!
where is fate stay nigh remake?? D:
Can't wait for that one. If they maintain the quality of Fate/Zero, we are in for a treat for sure!
thats after the summer season
