SPRING ANIME 2010
The Action-Packed Clique
.: Black★Rock Shooter :.
>> Black★Rock Shooter tells of the narrator’s despair and hopelessness as they wander aimlessly, searching for something important to them that they presumably lost. Eventually the narrator gains new hope and decides to move on into the future with courage. The video for the song became massively popular, featuring Black★Rock Shooter herself traveling through a bleak city and countryside, riding a motorbike and wielding weapons. BRS is an original character design by Huke, and happens to resemble Miku.
A famous 3DPV by Anomaro-P gave Black★Rock Shooter a plotline and backstory, which involves her sister betraying her and turning evil and BRS being forced to kill her sister to stop the destruction. This plot eventually became the inspiration for the upcoming 2010 anime.
Teaser: Show ▼
Tsui: F*CK YES. Definitely on my top 3 much anticipated shows for the Spring season. I’m just excited about everything how it will turn out. The teaser also looks great, so I hope the whole anime won’t disappoint.
Kanz: I’m also excited about this~ Simply because the art looks really cool, and just like almost everyone, the song definitely gets you in.
.: Angel Beats :.
>> In a world after death, angels fight for their fate and their future. Yuri, the leader of the Shinda Sekai Sensen, rebels against the god who destined her to have an unreasonable life. On the other hand, Tenshi, the chairperson of the student council for the world after death, battles against the SSS members. SSS members utilize armed weaponry to battle it out against the angels harnessing supernatural powers.

Trailer: Show ▼
Tsui: Another win in my book. The breath-taking trailers are already one heck of a ride, and that made this my most-awaited show of the season. I’m having very high expectations about this show now.
Kanz: At first, I thought this is something that should be just passed under my radar for everyone pointing out the Haruhi-ness, then I was definitely proven wrong when I watched the trailer. Now this is on top of my watch-list. It better live up with the hype!
.: Senko no Night Raid :.
>> This spy action anime is the second Anime no Chikara offering, succeeding Sora no Woto. The story is set in Shanghai in 1931, when the Imperial Japanese Army has been dispatched to mainland China due to the relatively recent First Sino-Japanese War, Russo-Japanese War, and World War I. In this cosmopolitan city of intrigue, there is a special military spy organization called “Sakurai Kikan” that has since been buried in history.

Tsui: Might check it out. But then again, original anime productions are either super-hit or ultra-miss with me. I’m not a fan of Sora no Woto at all, but I hope it won’t be different with this one.
Kanz: This seems very cool, and I got a little bit of Phantom vibes with a different setting. Might check it out and maybe it’ll impress.
.: Iron Man :.
>> Japanese anime adaptation of the American superhero comic.
Animation Production: Madhouse | 04-2010 | 12 episodes
Trailer: Show ▼
Kanz: …..
Tsui: Err… I would prefer it if it’s on English though. BUT the animation looks awesome! Might check this out.
.: Heroman :.
>> The story centers on a boy named Joey who discovers a toy robot near the west coast of the United States. The toy becomes Heroman, a giant robot that Joey pilots against evil threats.
Animation Production: BONES | 04-2010
Tsui: *spews soda* Pffffffffffffft.
Kanz: LAWL. DNW.

First of all, holy crap you guys are fast at this! O___O
Next, I’m definitely looking forward to OOFURI TWO!!! Also checking out Angel Beats, Working, and of course, Hetalia 3 lolz.
Nooo, this is making me worry so much about the Maid-sama anime :sad3

YESSSS!!!!
POWUH: iLurker with 8 comments
So many shows I want to check out! Oofuri 2 is highest priority. Poor Hakuouki is destined to fail in my book because I just don’t think it’s possible for any shinsengumi to be better than the ones in Gintama.

All I’m excited for is black star shooter 😀 since it’s the only one I know about,,,there’s soo many shows, I can’t wait to watch them all! spring season is coming so fast,, it’s so exciting xD

Oh man, Kamiyan and Maayan. If only the heroine were black-haired and I would have to stop watching anime because of the perfect-ness. Oh and Noto Mamiko would have to be in it as well but that’s another matter. Arakawa looks great. Angel Beats and Black Rock Shooter as well. I hope Kaichou is good, that would really put a downer on my year. This year was bad enough already the moment Kara no Kyoukai was finished releasing. Still waiting on that blu-ray though…..
and that NA licensing…..
for the novels or the anime…..
please help me out funimation!

Black Rock and Angel Beats definitely on my top watch list. LOL @ Iron Man and Heroman.
POWUH: Metanorn Regular with 78 comments
Omg!! This is so fast, I knew I could count on here! Thankies <3.
Definitely looking forward to Black Rock Shooter and Angel Beats, of course. The Iron Man anime.. uhm, I gotta say that the animation looks good. Though about Heroman, I think it's just lulz.
I'm also looking forward to Working! I love what's I'm seeing with their promos so far and it could be a very fun watch indeed~
Yay for Kamiyan getting lots of roles this year! Also not surprised that the two K-ON! girls are bagging a lot of roles as well.
The Den of Bishies and Fangirling FTW~ <33 I'm also gonna check out… all here. Well, maybe except from the Hakuouki one. Meh.. But YAY for Oofuri 2 and Maid-sama!!! Might check out Uragiri as well. I love how JC Staff does two shoujo anime at the same time. Let's see if they could beat Kimi ni Todoke's amazing-ness~
Thanks for the preview!!! 😉

Yosh, getting ready for Spring season! >///<
Thank you for the list, it's easier to choose the shows to watch with your posts!
I'm so checking AngelBeats, Arakawa, BRS and Working!!~ and of course I’m looking forward for Oofuri2 and Hetalia3~ and K-ON2 too.
Kaichou is failing so hard @ almost everything right now, so I’m not sure about it. But I’ll watch 1st ep anyway.
Also will check the first eps of MayoiNeko, Uragiri and Haiyoru!Nyaru-Ani just for fun.
Yay, Kamiyan is getting so many roles! I lovelovelove him for voicing Izaya and Zetsubou-sensei <3 Yoko will be great to hear as well, love her voice~

Giants Killer – Because im a sucker for sports, and especial football anime/manga.
Yojo-han – I might give it a look just becuse the premise and art took my attention.
Working! – At first, i thought i would not be seeing it because of stereotyped characters, but due to the advertisement its gettin, might give it a try.
Maid-sama – The only shojo im watching are KnT and Nodame,even though im not a fan of the genre, but if i read good critics, maybe i would be ready to give it a shot.
Arakawa- Im gonna check the manga, but it seems to have lots of lulz.
POWUH: Lovely-pyon~ and Metanorn's Hime-chan~ with 371 comments
Yay~ Thanks for getting your catalogue out as quick as always. ^^
Now I can check off all the iffy ones. *too lazy to go looking for info herself* |D;
BRS and Angel Beats are pretty much a guaranteed watch for anyone. Also checking out Senko no Night Raid so hope it’ll be good enough to receive more attention than Soro no Woto did.
Working!! = yes~ <3
And I didn’t think there was so much “nyaaâ€-ing for Mayoi Neko. o.O;
Hmm, Arakawa Under the Bridge looks really interesting so will probably check that out.
And here’s to hoping Kaichou will get a little better by the time it’s out. The only thing holding it up is the fame the manga’s getting. =.=
Yep…wow, taking only 6 shows seriously so far. Then again, this is MUCH better than Winter so anything can better.

[…] nother blog with Spring anime list They include seiyuu lists. Disappointed with no news yet for roles for Rie Kugimiya, Rie Tanaka, and I’d like to hear Ayuru Ohashi (aka Erika Nakai) again. She was AWESOME as Eila in Strike Witches. Possibly related posts: (automatically generated)Spring Anime 2007Spring 2008 Anime PreviewSpring Anime Lineup – “A lot of choices eh..?” […]
