Less than half these titles interest me. :(
Majimoji Rurumo will be the best of the season. Calling it now.
I'll take that bet, because I'm anon and I'll just say it was one of the other anon that bet you.
Alright, went and read the 4 chapters scanlated so far. You may be right, Rurumo is really cute and properly quiet for a girl. Throw in the kansai-dialect talking cat, his mom, the morals monsters and the Anime should be great.
God this summer season is looking terribad.
Seconded.
Space ☆ Dandy Season 2?!!
Wow.... boobies...!! Didn't know there was going to be a second season...
The confirmation was shown rightin the episode preview after the last episode ended...so pay more attention next time.
I don't know about that since I watched the show on Animax and they didn't previewed on it...
Comes across as the next Big O to me, it got 2 seasons because it was popular outside of Japan, both were shown on US TVs too.
☆☆☆EXPLOSIONS☆☆☆
Psycho-Pass New Edition? Yay!
As for the rest... not sure yet.
Why would you want to see a remake of an anime made less than two years ago?
Is this remake the "second season" they were referring to? I hope not, I want an actual second season, not a fkn remake of the first one.
This is build up to the second season, Fall 2014.
Its a proper sequel, not a remake. Season 1 very clearly set the stage for a sequel in the last episodes.
Nope, your forgot the details of this new Psychopass project.
This first part in the project is the remake, 10 episodes with 1 hour each.
Psychopass 2 is slated to air in October 2014.
The movie will be in Winter 2014
eh no.
It's a remake. The sequel will not air in summer.
The sequel Psycho-Pass 2 will be in October, new edition will take the first series and re-cut it into 11 one-hour episodes with new cuts of footage.
damn it I thought #17 said SEKIREI for a second,lol
You're not Alone
Sword Art Online II: eh I haven't been in the mood for emo lately.
Hanamonogatari: giddy as a schoolgirl.
Tokyo Ghoul: sounds interesting.
Sailor Moon Crystal: Only because My sister and I don't talk much, and I can use this as a reason to call her.
to lazy to check the other stuff out atm.
where is fate stay nigh remake?? D:
thats after the summer season
Can't wait for that one. If they maintain the quality of Fate/Zero, we are in for a treat for sure!
Where is Kancolle? Isn't it due this summer?
Shitcolle is too lewd to be reported here.
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.
I only know and watch 2 shows....sao san yama no susume...lol
Sword Art Online is shit.
I think its great!
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.
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...
Wrong, there is nothing wrong with homo anime, SAO can do better.
>23:01
The fujoshi hate on non-homo anime is strong in this one.
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.
And if it were yuri?
i loved the first arc but i think the second one was horrible.
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.
Fujoshi hates that which is not completely repulsive.
The hate probably comes from the excessive popularity that doesn't match the actual quality of the substance.
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.
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.
SAO just has pacing issues, plus some low budget battle scenes. It's not a bad series.
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.
You're shit.
but we love shit!
problem?
