The story follows the main characters Takeshi and Michi as they get lost in the Card Battle world and have to win card battles to return home.
Kanz: Do y’all know that Nana Mizuki will sing the OP for his one? For that reason only, and whatever this show is about, I’ll be checking this out!!! NANA-SAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!111one And the main guy looks like Kukai from Shugo Chara XD. KUKAAAIIII!!!
Tsui: Three syllables: Yu-Gi-Oh.

Umi Monogatari
Website——–Airdate: 06/24——–Show Trailer 1 ▼
Animation Production: ZEXCS
Seiyuu: Kana Asumi as Marin, Minako Kotobuki as Kanon, Yui Horie as Urin
The story centers on Marin and Urin, two “pure” sisters who live alongside the fish in the sea, but yearn to be in the world beyond the water and above ground. One day, a beautiful ring falls in the middle of the sea, and Marin and Urin retrieve it. The two decide to leave their waterbound world for the first time to deliver the ring. After an arduous journey, they come across an isolated island where a high school girl named Kanon lives. The encounter between Marin and Kanon — the maiden of the sea and the maiden of the skies — awakens a hidden power as the world is threatened by an enveloping darkness.
Kanz: What I see from this is Pichi Pichi Pitch point two. I don’t know why but I get the vibe. I love Pichi Pichi Pitch though, so might check it out for some Mahou Shoujo.
Tsui: Mahou Shoujo anime had been disappointing lately to be honest, so I lost hope with them. If there’s some yuri in this show, I’ll watch it 8D.

Fight Ippatsu! Jyuden-chan!!
Website——–Airdate: 06/25——–Show Teaser (WARNING: Nudity) ▼

Umineko no Naku Koro ni
Website——–Air Date: 07/01——–Show Teaser ▼
Animation Production: Studio DEEN
Seiyuu: Daisuke Ono as Battler Ushiromiya, Marina Inoue as Jessica Ushiromiya, Sayaka Ohara as Beatrice, Yui Horie as Maria Ushiromiya
Umineko no Naku Koro ni takes place in the year 1986, during the time frame of October 4 and October 5 on a secluded island named Rokkenjima. The head of a wealthy family named Kinzo Ushiromiya, who lives on and owns Rokkenjima, is near death, and eight of his family members arrive on the island to discuss how Kinzo’s assets will be divided once he is dead. Also on the island are three family members who live there, five of Kinzo’s servants, and his personal physician. After the eight family members arrive, a typhoon traps them on the island and shortly after people start to get mysteriously murdered.
Tsui: I hope it wouldn’t be as dull as the second season season of Higurashi. And I also wish they would not drag the arcs to lengthen the pacing. That’s what kept me annoyed on Higurashi though. But still, looking forward to this one just like everyone else… and BEATRICE *nosebleeds*
Kanz: Umineko anime’s hype sure is really high, and we really can’t blame the popularity of it. I’ll be checking this one out because it’s really popular… lol. And I also love Higurashi ^^. All characters look MILES better than in the game of course. Battler looks hot XD OMG~
——————————————————————————–
Aoi Hana
Website——–Airdate: 07/01——–Show Teaser ▼
Animation Production: JC Staff
Seiyuu: Ai Takabe as Fumi Manjoume, Yuko Gibu as Akira Okudaira, Yui Horie as Kyouko Ikumi
Fumi and Akira were close childhood friends until Fumi had to move away. Ten years after losing touch with each other, the two girls meet again as high school freshmen. The two struggle to reconnect after so much has changed, and both deal with the trials and tribulations of high school — sometimes independently and sometimes with each other’s help.
Kanz: I love yuri but I don’t know about this one. The appearance of the characters aren’t my personal type to watch in a yuri show. But seriously, YUI HORIE again. She’s so everywhere this season XD.
Tsui: Haha I get what you mean. WE NEED HAWT BISHOUJOS like in Strawberry Panic or Candy Boy! Not these… two. The glasses girl is hot, but the other one is… not. lol XD

I got stunned at how early this is O__O…
Will read first before I comment again ^^ (just saving the first comment of honor :P)
POWUH: Metanorn Regular with 119 comments
Ok, thanks for the early preview… Or err, catalogue as kanzeon said xD;; The only show that stands out this season in my opinion is Tokyo Magnitude 8.0. I think it looks really great, judging by the preview and the studio behind it. Scary concept ftw–
A change of studio regarding Spice and Wolf is something that’s hard to adopt in, but I’m prepared for it anyway if it’s for the better. I haven’t watched episode 00 yet though, and maybe I’ll save watching it when ep 01 airs on Summer.
:XD: Lots of school/slice-of-life eh? I think Kanamemo (did i just spelled it right?) looks cute and Seitokai no Ichizon as well. I’m hoping that any studio would animate it except for Studio DEEN but it’s too late lol.

SPICY WOLF 2! :nosebleeds:
Hooray for more furry moe Horo. Looking forward to summer! :runs:
POWUH: iLurker with 1 comments
:huh: So… is the second series of Haruhi true or not? I still don’t get it.
POWUH: Metanorn Regular with 122 comments
My Picks:
1. Hetalia season 2
2. Hetalia season 2
3. Hetalia season 2…(shot)
Seriously though, I’m want to watch SoraManiMani, the baseball show, Hetalia, and Aoi Hana. I’ll probably also try the random mermaid show and the one that’s taking over Eden’s timeslot.

Summer season screams PASTAAAAAAAAAA~!!!
I lol’d so hard when you mentioned “random mermaid show” for Umi Monogatari XDDD OMG lolol XD!!! I don’t know why but I just laughedmao at my table like an involuntary action ^^ (yeah, I’m crazy XD). The one taking over Eden’s timeslot is Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 ^^.
POWUH: iLurker with 9 comments
I lol’d so hard on the Needless comments and the Cobra. Lol I don’t even know what that is either even though it’s airing for so long 😆
The only shows I’m looking forward to next season is Hetalia 2 and Spice and Wolf 2. I’m not sure enough to try out the new series, since nothing almost appeals to me. Well except for Tokyo Magnitude, but I can’t take tragedies with my weak heart.
POWUH: Beginner (20-35) with 25 comments
wow.. wait a second.. I though Hetalia 3 were to suppose to release on autumn <.<‘ Since the first season is rather finish on 19 July… so it would be hard to believe that they would continue the week after that as Hetalia 1 finish.
btw.. you didn’t mention xxxHOLiC Shunmuiki xD
Mimiko ♥’s last blog post..Hatsukoi Limited episode 4
POWUH: 1100-1199 with 1187 comments
Hetalia 2 is confirmed on Summer ^^. Yay~ that means no break *so happy*
Umm, we still have no news for xxxHolic but we’ll keep you updated ^^
POWUH: iLurker with 2 comments
Definitely watching:
1. Umineko no Naku Koro ni
2. Spice and Wolf 2
3. Aoi Hana
I’ll be looking forward to:
4. CANAAN
5. GA
6. Princess Lover
7. Tokyo Magnitude
POWUH: iLurker with 2 comments
Daaaang. This really is exceptionally early. Most of the Spring animes are still in their early stages! But July isn’t that far away either, really…
Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 definitely looks interesting, I think I’ll be checking that one out. That, and elementhunters. (haha, just for kicks. And to see if it can do anything for my sucky chemistry…)
POWUH: Occasional (51-75) with 57 comments
:kyaa: Lol thank you so much for the early review!!! Yay~ Finally I will not get lost when the new season comes ^^. Keep the updates coming~
I’ll be surely watching Aoi Hana because I LOVE the manga. The main may not look very bishoujo like Strawberry Panic or Candy Boy but I really dig the story ^^. Hope you guys would try it as well ^^.
Lol Element Hunters. Sound like a very interesting premise but when I checked the site, it looked like a kiddie show (lol a kiddie show that’s about chemistry is really educational XD!). But yep, it may get really helpful in chemistry ^^. :megane:
And yay for another season of Hetalia. YaayyY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
:cheer: :cheer: :cheer:
POWUH: Lovely-pyon~ and Metanorn's Hime-chan~ with 371 comments
I was ROFLMAO throughout the entire catalogue. XD
Argh, I’m still too scared to watch Higurashi but I’m definitely going to give Umineko a try. The character designs and setting of the story look really interesting.
Watching Sora no ManiMani purely for Xiao’s beloved Kanae-san~! <333
Whatwhat?! Nana-sama singing an OP?! OMG, will watch! 8D
& main guy reminds me of Daisuke from D.N.Angel…which I sorely miss. Why aren’t the new chapters coming out anymore? T_T
As for the others, I plan to try CANAAN, Yakyuu Musume, the show after that (lol)
btw, you put the Yakyuu trailer under that one, just wanted to point that out ^^;, Umi Monogatari (I got the Mermaid Melody vibe from it, too…only I don’t know which one looks more pervy), Bakemonogatari…and like, 5 others. o.O; I’ll probably drop several before I even watch them, though. Just like for spring. xD;But thanks so much for the awesome review! I’ll keep checking back for updates! ^^

Thanks for the epic fabulous funny catalog or catalogue… or whatever how that’s spelled >.> lol. I really can’t stop laughing from the Needless comments to the Cobra silence XD lolol~
>>LMAO! Poor Tsui… So his services are free? XD O dear the two of you are SO funny XDD.
Omg anyway, I have a lot to watch on the next season! Though I’m getting the feeling that most of them will end up being dropped like dead flies after a few weeks or so. I’m torn apart between Umi Monogatari to Yoru Wamaru Thingy Show (forgot the name XD) and I’m also choosing between Aoi Hana and the Baseball Girls. It feels like there’s a natch for every summer show lol. Will watch Umineko and Hetalia 2 for sure. I still need to watch the first season of Spice and Wolf to understand the hype about it though.
So yeah, thanks for the preview! (Or catalog/ue XDD). I’ll wait for more trailers and updates to come ^^.

CANAAN will definitely be good. I can’t wait for it. :cute:
POWUH: Occasional (51-75) with 57 comments
Wow, early previews FTW! Nothing looks too interesting though. Kind of curious about spicy wolf but I have to marathon through the first season…

POWUH: Beginner (20-35) with 29 comments
Tokyo Magnitude 8.0, gonna watch this one
POWUH: Metanorn Lover and Metanorn's old-timer with 161 comments
Woo! The super awesome early Metanorn anime preview…er…catalog is ftw is always! I love the new layout of things. Even a preview (catalog? lol) post just looks so cool when it’s on Metanorn.
As expected, you guys had me laughing the whole way through. Too bad I have to wait for Fall anime for another one of these. (Ooo~ Or maybe a new show will get announced?)
As for shows I’m watching, of course Sora no Manimani is at the top of my list. It is my officially adopted fangirl series for the season! Which reminds me that I need to go check that scanlation group and see if they’ve given me any more chapters of the manga that I can love~
Other series I’m probably going to at least check out are Canaan, Taishou Yakyuu Musume, Yoku Wakaru Gendai Mahou, Umi Monogatari, Kanamemo, and Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 (the “duh” show on everyone’s watchlist!). Did I forget anything? Oh yeah, more Hetalia~ I may not talk about it much, but I can’t resist those bishie-fied countries~
There seem to be a lot of things I have interest in, but not much is totally grabbing me like Sora no Manimani. I think I’m just spoiled and expect to have a show to add to my favorites OF ALL TIME every season for some reason. Which may work out anyway if Sora no Manimani surpasses my own hype. And then I never have to learn a lesson. Yay!

POWUH: Metanorn Regular with 78 comments
I think Summer will be definitely better than Spring, but there are still a few shows that I’m guaranteed to check out. I can’t wait for Umi Monogatari and Aoi Hana :kyaa:
POWUH: iLurker with 1 comments
Summer looks better than Spring. Looking forward to lots of shows like Umineko, Spice and Wolf, Cobra, ElementHunters, Aoi Hana, Needless and Yoru Gendai Mahou.
