I want, Want, WANT! HUFFFF! I have been waiting for this for so long, my wish finally granted by the Golden studios ufotable! It’s not every day that a Type-Moon fangirl like me (who has to yearn for VN & light novel translations to keep her company) gets such a treat. After finally getting a closure on Kara no Kyoukai after reading the light novels, Carnival Phantasm and Fate/Zero were the beacons I wanted to grasp. I say, forget the Fate/stay night anime right now, srsly right now! DEEN simply raped it badly and the VN’s epicness was never captured but if you’ve seen it, at least it gives you enough information about the characters that you would be seeing in a new light in this two-cour series. It’s all about the fourth Holy Grail War (10 years before the FSN timeline). For those who are new to this verse, the power of the “Holy Grail” grants a miracle to one of the seven participating magi, who are aided by the summoned seven Heroic Spirits for victory in the battleground called “Fuyuki”. Among the magi, there’s one Kotomine Kirei who’s unable to find meaning in his actions, not comprehending the guidance of fate. He’s lost until his path crosses with Emiya Kiritsugu. A man who’s a go-getter, sterner and merciless than anyone else. So, who’s wish the Holy Grail grant? Which servant would surpass all, taking its master to victory? You’ll have to watch the first one-hour episode to find the truth behind the battle between Shirou’s foster father, Rin’s father and the younger Kotomine Kirei. Jrow and anaaga have pretty much covered the staff list (Yuki Kajiura, YES!) but I have to stress on the brilliance of the seiyuu cast and LOL at the still secret script writer; I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s Urobuchi but oh well, we’ll find out soon enough.

We know what ufotable has done with a previous Nasuverse series, now it’s time to let them adapt a Fate series into anime form! I remember really enjoying Fate/Stay Night when it aired back in 2006 and feel like I have a good grasp of everything that happened in the story, though DEEN did make some changes toward the end. I also remember seeing scans for stuff like Zero or Hollow/Ataraxia back in the day and wanting even more of the series, so I’m glad to see at least Zero is getting an anime series finally as we’ll get to see Emiya Shirou’s father Kiritsugu controlling Saber. Reminder again, this is a TYPE-MOON property, so expect the standard dose of Nakata Jouji. A personal fave of mine, Megumi Toyaguchi has a small role in F/Z. Yuki Kajiura provided great music for Kara no Kyokai as well as Tsubasa Resevoir Chronicles, so I’m expecting the OST to be a definite want. With it being a two-cour anime, I believe that might be enough to complete the light novels in anime form. Each PV being put out adds to the excitement, and I’m sure the hardcore F/SN fans that play the visual novels are in for a treat with Zero! Bonus note: Atsushi Ikariya, one of the character designers, did the key animation for the first episode of Sacred Seven, which was widely considered pretty awesome action.

Ok, I watched F/SN anime in less than a week, yay. Kind of disappointed in the F/SN anime though. But will watch this, since I have a crush on Kiritsugu. KIRITSUGUU~~ *cough* Anyhow, Fate/Zero will be about, obviously, the Fourth Holy Grail War. After so many years, us anti-VN peeps can finally know the root behind Kiritsugu and Kotomine’s enmity. Like FINALLY. FYI, Kiritsugu’s not the only reason I’ll watch this. Ever since I’ve read the greatness of Tsukihime manga (which explains my obsession with Arcueid), I’ve been a fan of TYPE-MOON myself, and I love ALL of the TYPE-MOON’s titles with the characters in them (all hail crossovers). And I didn’t even play the VNs, so imagine how I will feel after I’ve played the VNs. Yuki Kajiura’s practically one of the Nine Muses, so I know I’ll love the music even though I haven’t even watched this yet. Urubochi’s Requiem of the Phantom is one of many anime I never liked, but since he did Madoka, I guess he’s excused for now. Emi Chiba as the color coordinator is definitely a YES since the colors in Kara no Kyokai are just so AMAZING. I haven’t watched Hourou Musuko (not planning to) or Ga-Rei Zero, but I’ve heard good stuff about those two titles, so I’m expecting good stuff from you, Ei Aoki. And, the last but not the least, NO STUDIO DEEN YIPIIIIIII!!!!! I WELCOME, UFOTABLE!!!! Once again, NO STUDIO DEEN. NO. STUDIO. DEEN!!!!!!!! *cries tears of joy*

Hoshi and I were soooo disappointed by the OVA. Now it can finally flesh out into a full series! While I haven’t read the original manga, I do know it contains some of my two favourite things: time travel/predicting the future and yanderes. The main character Amano Yukiteru, starts off as just that apathetic main character type who remains stoic to his environment until one day he starts hallucinating things liiikkkeee a Lord of Space and Time? Pretty crazy stuff there. To make things better, this all-powerful being (Deus Ex Machina) grants Yukiteru the ability to see what will happen in the near future. This isn’t your typical shounen series about trying to be “the best”, and seems to be quite a dark and grisly tale because the stakes are as high as becoming the Deus’s successor. I’m a little worried how the animation will fare given the fact that asread really don’t seem to be geared towards being the main animation studio for anything. I can only hope for the best. |

Having just heard of the anime via the fall preview lineup, I decided to give the manga a quick run just to see how things will pan out in the early going. Not only did I get up to chapter 10 already, but I’m fully intent on reading all 59 chapters of the series instead of just stopping at 4 and going, “well, I’ll let the anime tell the rest of the story.” While the manga is actually completed at 59 chapters, I have my concerns of what asread will do in terms of story adaptation. We were scarred last Spring by Deadman Wonderland, but that was still an ongoing manga that got only a 12-episode run. Mirai Nikki is slated for 26 episodes, and I personally feel that 1.5/2 chapters can be used for an episode, which would be just the right pacing to complete the series by episode 26. Now, everybody is going to talk about the yandere. She should be great to watch, but I’m more curious to see how the phone diaries will be used. I’m not expecting Death Note level of smarts, but clever use of them can go a long way to making this one of the fall’s best. |

YES! I am excited for this! Yeah, I completely avoided the OVA thanks to the review done here when it came out, but I will definitely be watching this. Though I’m glad the anime is coming out after the manga has finished so we don’t have one of those anime original endings that never seem to satisfy anyone except the writers. Plus it has 26 episodes, so I don’t think they’ll be cutting out anything important. So yeah, I’m not only excited for the blood in this series, but also for the psychological aspect. Judging from the trailer, they seemed to do a pretty good job with the whole suspense thing. I finished the manga a while ago and all I can say is that the storyline is pretty well thought out and that all of the diary owners are intriguing in one way or another (MINENE~!). Anyways, I wish Tomosa Murata good luck on this because this is her first major role in an anime. |

| Genres: Adventure, Mystery, School, SuperPower,Supernatural | AIR Date: October 6, 2011 | WEBSITE |

Anyone who tries to stop me from watching this is getting their arm ripped out violently and will be severely beaten with it. Unlike the last Persona-based anime we got (Persona -Trinity Soul-), this one actually follows the game storyline where Narukami Yu (formerly known in the Persona 4 manga as Seta Souji; don’t ask me why they decided to change the name. Though the protagonist’s name is changeable in the game so I guess it works) moves to the small town of Inaba to live with his policeman uncle and suddenly mysterious murders start happening. This is after fourteen months of Persona 3 timeline. The storyline revolves around Yu going inside TVs and fighting shadows with his friends (while wearing sexy glasses) to save people from said deaths. Words cannot describe how excited I am to see the crossdressing competition animated. I’m also excited because Shoji Meguro, the original game composer (and the composer for pretty much every Shin Megami Tenshi game), is still working on the music. Striptease is one of the greatest tracks ever. Also returning are all of the original game seiyuu including Daisuke Namikawa (Level E, Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronical, Kimi no Todoke) as Yu. Only this time, he’ll actually have more lines than “Personaaaaaaaa!” and making random yelling noises. Exciting! We also have Seiji Kishi (Angel Beats, Seto no Hanayome) directing and AIC (Amagami SS, R-15 (lol), Houro Musuko) doing the animation. So yeah, from what I’ve seen, I’d say the anime is in fairly capable hands. I’m not just saying that because I’m extremely biased towards everything and anything Persona, I swear! Though I wonder if they’re going to throw in that new character (Mari) from the remake game here. |

As a sucker for games-turned-anime, I swiftly started playing Persona 3 and 4 as soon as I heard the announcement for the Persona 4 anime. It certainly feels good to be a Persona fan with an anime and all these new games being churned out (there’s a P4 fighting game and a PSP remake coming out!). I’m absolutely addicted to the games, so this is probably the anime I’m most excited for this season. I am always wary of games being translated into anime though, because it becomes hard to remain faithful to the original source. The main character usually changes the persona he fights with, but that might not be the case for the main story. In the game, the main character rarely talks and has a personality that the player decides – here the director will decide it for us. If anything, I’d like for them to diverge as much as possible and just have fun with everything. However, even if it’s bad, I’m sure being a fan of the game will be enough to propel me through the series. In other words, I am TEH BIAS. |
 |
I’m a big fan of the Persona series. The game is addicting and time consuming but it’s enjoyable. It’s almost like the Sims (which I’ve never played) but in a RPG style and way cooler with its anime feel. Aside from that, who wouldn’t wanna be some BAMF bishie and go around dating whoever you want and as many as you want? Hell yeah!! But aside from that, there is a story and that is what also makes the Persona series pretty awesome. Hearing that P4 is being animated had me very excited. I see how it would be hard to do P3 considering that the main character didn’t have a name, but P4 is just as good. Looking forward to watching this. xD |

So, every season there are always one or two shows that catch my eye right from the start and I end up enjoying them immensely. In the spring it was AnoHana, the summer Mawaru Penguindrum and now, this fall, it is UN-GO that has caught my attention. BONES is producing this and, though not all their work may be that great, they’ve still had a couple gems. We all know how awesome both Fullmetal Alchemist anime productions were and BONES even participated in the most recent Studio Ghibli film, Arrietty, which was simply beautiful. Hell, they even produced Ouran High School Host Club, which I LOVED. Judging from all the advertisements I’ve seen around, this is looking to be a well funded production, so I’m not worried about the presentation or direction of this show. The premise of the story is quite interesting as well. Mysteries are always intriguing and, though the production team is taking creative liberties with the initial setting and plot of the book “Meiji Kaika Ango Torimonocho”, I feel as though it will be innovative and engaging. To be honest, it was the character design that I fell in love with immediately. I am a firm believer that the art can make or break a show and, in this case, it most certainly makes it. Shinjirou and Inga physically juxtapose one another in every sense of the word and yet they look like a pair that I’ll take great pleasure in watching. I’m legitimately giddy in excitement for this show! |

As No.6’s time on noitaminA concludes, Un-Go will be BONES’ next series on the well-revered anime hour. Another BONES’ mystery anime, Gosick, took place during the 1920s and while Un-Go is adapted from Sakaguchi Ango’s stories which take place during the Meiji Period (1868-1912), the series will be set slightly in the future, which should hopefully add an interesting spin to the story. I get a good feeling about the main detective characters Shinjirou and Inga. Shinjirou seems like a cool dude, and while Inga might have child-like qualities, he seems like someone who could flip a switch and be a factor in solving cases. Seiji Mizushima is directing the series, and he was the director for the original Fullmetal Alchemist series; while we’re well aware of Brotherhood’s brilliance, the first anime rendition of FMA is still amazing in its own right and I’m hopeful for an interesting tale of these two guys (Yuki and Inga) solving cases. I also want to mention Shou Aikawa, who is doing screenplay. This guy created Ayakashi Ayashi, a previous BONES series I remember enjoying despite most people’s negative reaction to it, enough so to cancel the series at 25 episodes. That’s mostly a bad thing, but at least he also worked on the first FMA anime with Mizushima. |
|
Is this going to be a bromance bait of Fall? I wonder; though, I’m not as confirmed as I was for No.6. What do you know, it’s BONES and noitaminA! Fangirls, stay tuned for more development. I’m always attracted to mystery but I only hope this doesn’t become a shouta counterpart of Gosick… I’ll keep my fingers crossed. I’m glad to see Miyu Irino getting a decent main role (Jintan <3). Miki has always been one of my favourites, I mean Roy Mustang, people; though, don’t ask me to give you more examples because the list of awesome roles is hella long. However, the name that made me most happiest is of Takako Honda!!! The PV was music to my ears because this woman needs more awesome roles; she has won me over since voicing Touko in KnK and even if Deadman was shit, Makina was awesome and Ohana’s mother, anyone? LAMA is performing the OP “Fantasy”, so tune in No.6 OP fans!). It’s going to be a treat for seiyuu followers and has enough mystery meat for the usual anime watchers to give this more than spin. |

LOL! Yandere love anyone? I hope asread does a good job with it and definitely looking forward to all the titles that you mentioned.
Aah, I remember you tweeting about it and here it is. Thank you for the wait! ^^ We take our time in collecting all the info because releasing reviews without complete information is just no good and does justice to the title being covered.
POWUH: Meta Team and PreCure Mastah with 9203 comments
Hell ya to Mirai Nikki! I can’t wait to see that, but I have a feeling it will be soooo censored like BloodC And Deadman wonderland with so many shadows and great big beams of light….
IKA MUSUME 2! CANT WAIT AHHH!! xDD
Guilty Crown! Yes please! That looks so good, I will bet money it probably will be the hit of the fall season with all those great designs and music.
Why thank you! We put a lot of time into this 😀
POWUH: Occasional (51-75) with 67 comments
NOO that would be horrible if they had the beams of light..

Seriously looking forward to some stuff here..
Show ▼
POWUH: Meta Team and Ringleader Extraordinaire~ with 6433 comments
Good list and LOL! You should match up with some old shows to balance out your current watch list. ^^
POWUH: Lovely-pyon~ with 339 comments
Funnily enough I’m actually going to be watching the original Macross series along with this season. I think they might just be old enough XD
POWUH: 1000-1099 and Pirate King with 1048 comments
We can expect better from DEEN on Hatsukoi, but I’m keeping my expectations slightly above minimum.
POWUH: Meta Team and PreCure Mastah with 9203 comments
Hells ya Junko! Guilty Crown for the winnnnnnnn and Fate/Zero,Working!! and Shana three! xD
POWUH: Metanorn Regular with 107 comments
*take a deep breath after reading the suuuuuuuper long review* lol
Just reading it takes almost one hour, can’t imagine how long the team has been working on this. Thank you so much for the hard work! <3
Aww, I'm so happy that there's lots of promising show this season. Currently interested in Guilty Crown, Kyoukai Senjou no Horizon, Gundam AGE, Phi Brain, Un-Go, Persona 4, Mirai Nikki, Fate/Zero, Shakugan no Shana III, Sekaiichi Hatsukoi 2 and Hotarubi no Morie. That's quite a lot coming from me :))
Might cut down this list after watching first episode though :p
POWUH: Meta Team and Ringleader Extraordinaire~ with 6433 comments
Thank you for the kind words! Everyone really worked hard in making this a reality. We have been preparing since last month. xD
Hahaa, we’ll see how much you end up seeing but definitely, there’s no shortage of good shows this season. ^^
POWUH: Meta Team and PreCure Mastah with 9203 comments
-hands you a paper bag- ;D
Thanks! Indeed it was a long process but worth the wait! Good work everyone course we always do our best for the readers.
Yep I am looking forward to Guilty Crown,Gundam Age,Horizon,Mirai Nikki, Fate/Zero and Shana three too! Lots of great anime soon! Fall is going to be a great one.
POWUH: 800-899 and Flying Sage with 856 comments
Hourou Mousuko (special): I finally got around to watching the series last week. I had to wait because my old computer had serious problems with video, and the very pale colors of the art style meant I could barely tell what was going on. The pale watercolor style looks great (now that I have a new computer), and is very appropriate. For a show that seems like it would be intense and angst, it actually isn’t. I mean, yeah the kid gets bullied and stuff, but actually it is much more subdued than one would expect. I think this gave it a sense of realism that I wasn’t expecting. I’ll check out the special, since I’m caught up.
Chihayafuru: Yeah! This is my prediction for best show of the season.
POWUH: Meta Team and Ringleader Extraordinaire~ with 6433 comments
I agree on the intensity. They talk about some serious stuff quite mildly. No violence except for some bullying and bitching. Seen in a marathon, Hourou Musuko is much better than waiting for it every week.
And three cheers for Chihayafuru. This should be a total win!
POWUH: Lovely-pyon~ with 338 comments
AWESOME SAUCE!!! I’ve been waiting soooo long for this!!! Picking next season’s watches is always a process. But I love all your reviews and the trailers really help. No one does it like Metanron. Here is too another rocking anime season.
CHEERS!
Most looking forward too:
Fate/Zero, Gundam Age, Bakuman S2 and Sekai-Ichi Hatsukoi 2. Watching a few others but those are the big kickers.
POWUH: Meta Team and Ringleader Extraordinaire~ with 6433 comments
Thank you, Kitty-chan! We love doing it for our readers. ^^
Also, a mecha fan? Say HI to Fosh and Jrow as these two fanboy it to the limit. xD
POWUH: 1000-1099 and Pirate King with 1048 comments
Thanks so much! It’s like how Carly Simon sings it.
I have faith in F/Z being great and Hatsukoi should be more of season 1 goodness, and I’m interested to see what Age brings to the table.
POWUH: Lovely-pyon~ with 338 comments
I really just can’t wait to hear Takano go Huh?! again.
I think I might add Last Exile to the list, thou I haven’t see the first one.
Also Hi Fosh and Jrow =^_^= yay for mecha backed fun!
POWUH: Meta Team and PreCure Mastah with 9203 comments
Oh yes you should try to watch some Last Exile! Really good stuff xD and -wave- YES! Finally a season of mecha! Wooooooooooo hooooooo!
POWUH: Meta Team and PreCure Mastah with 9203 comments
Ahahah thanks! 😀
Fate/Zero looks great! Can’t wait to see some more of Saber and Rin <3 Gundam Age might take a while to actually get into with those character designs, but I love gundam so I can look past that for now.
POWUH: Metanorn Regular with 88 comments
Soooo much info, amazing!! I think I might actually start recognizing VAs with your format XD
And OMG Sayanoara Zetsu Sensei, Hourou Mousuko, Usagi Drop, & Kimi ni Todoke specials! *_*
Anaaga’s reaction to Sekai-something something was cute haha
POWUH: Meta Team and Ringleader Extraordinaire~ with 6433 comments
I’m a VA fangirl through and through so it’ll be all my pleasure if you start recognizing them due to my reviews. XD
Too many titles to check out, yeah!
POWUH: Meta Team and PreCure Mastah with 9203 comments
hahah yep I am with you to Vivi one day I will have the names of all the actors memorized! Somehow….
POWUH: and Vampire Lover with 11746 comments
Whoa, this season is packed. It’s almost like summer again.
I saw the Guilty Crown trailer and even though I haven’t seen much of Code Geass, it reminds me of that with Index/Railgun parts.
I’m also in to check out Kyoukai Senjou no Horizon, Phi Brain: Kami no Puzzle, Fate/Zero, Persona 4: The Animation, Maji de Watashi ni Shinasai, C3: Cube X.
As for Hunter x Hunter, I never saw the original version but it still looks interesting.
A third Shakugan no Shana? Damn!!! I haven’t even seen the first two. Time to catch up.
A Deadman Wonderland OVA. I might give this series a second opinion depending on how it plays out. The madness, blood and gore were on the mark but the main character has yet to prove himself. I mean, Ganta actually looks tougher in this picture and I’m itching to see Shiro and Minatsuki go wild again.
That Infinite Stratos OVA is next on the list along with that Ao no Exorcist special.
This season’s gonna be busy but gonna help us burn a the the way to winter season.
POWUH: Meta Team and Ringleader Extraordinaire~ with 6433 comments
Oh hell yeah! I want to see everything! Well, almost~
Guilty Crown seems to be the top pick because of the star-studded staff. I mean, would you look at those names. Same goes for Fate/Zero, Un-Go, Persona, Phi Brain and Kyoukai Senjou no Horizon. I say something for everyone but yeah, a warning for Shana, it’s a typical tsundere girl going shut up all the time. Not sure if it has enough ‘plot’.
POWUH: 1000-1099 and Pirate King with 1048 comments
In regards to Shana, I’ve never seen it, but from what I’ve read from steev and also other places is that Shana is kind of the basis for which most of today’s tsunderes are based off of. He’s actually excited about the series which surprised me a good bit.
POWUH: and Vampire Lover with 11746 comments
I don’t really mind tsunderes. I survived Bakemonogatari’s Hitagi and Kore Wa Zombie’s Sera and Haruna. And they are as tsun as they come.
What I really want to see first is Guilty Crown but we gotta wait untill October. I should have known. The Hanazawa virus has even gotten this upcoming series. She’s really branching out. Then there’s Persona 4 and Fate/Zero. They look really wild.
And not to forget Kyoukai Senjou no Horizon with Jun Fukuyama in the cast. Hime and other Fukuyama fangirls are gonna be all over that. They should have another anime with big time VA. Ao no Exorcist was a breeding ground for three kinds of viruses: Jun Fukuyama, Nobuhiko Okamoto and the infectious Hanazawa virus.
POWUH: Meta Team and PreCure Mastah with 9203 comments
Yeah lots of great looking shows! So amazing to the line up with mecha for once.
True about guilty crown it does look a bit like a “Railgun/index” type of series which sounds great to me xD
POWUH: iLurker with 8 comments
First off, girls and guys of Metanorn you deserve a standing ovation for this season preview, every other blog should not bother to write one and just provide a link back to this. Seriously outstanding job. I am however worried about Kyokai, with all she’s got on her plate, one of these days her head is going to straight up explode! Of course that won’t stop her and we’re all going to have to chip in and buy her a yellow motorcycle helmet with built in nekomimi and those aren’t cheap you know!
I do have a bone to pick with you all though, before reading this I was fretting over having 12 shows in my want to watch list, now I have 22. And 8 OVA’s. On top of Fringe, Supernatural and Terra Nova in USA tvland! orz >.<
Again thank you for the fantastic work though, I'm so hyped to enjoy this amazing season with all of you!
POWUH: Meta Team and Ringleader Extraordinaire~ with 6433 comments
Where should I even begin? I laughed like mad after reading this comment and thank you SO MUCH for your kind words and worrying about my head. LOL, Celty fits so well here. xD
Also, rest assured, I’ll be watching Fringe and Supernatural too along with all the above anime. It’s gonna be tough but reviews are there to check out and then sift the crop for better ones.
Let’s have an awesome season, YEAHHHH! xD
POWUH: 1000-1099 and Pirate King with 1048 comments
I know what ya mean with having so many shiny new shows to watch. I don’t have the US tv shows, but as a sports fan I have to find extra time to wiggle these shows around football games and whatnot.
Thanks so much! The first half of October will be crazy busy for us getting out first impressions and such.
POWUH: iLurker with 8 comments
Just to echo the comments above, thank you for such a complete season preview that’s beautiful-looking to boot! The amount of information here is extraordinary and the links to websites, information about people involved, etc. are extremely useful too. Awesome job!
POWUH: Meta Team and Ringleader Extraordinaire~ with 6433 comments
Thank you, Raph! Much appreciate it.
Also, I see you share the Yamada love, nyaa~ xD
POWUH: Meta Team and PreCure Mastah with 9203 comments
Thanks Raph! It was a lot of work and fun to finally get this done and out to everyone to read! Yeah thanks to Ness and Kyokai for working on the shiney graphics.
POWUH: Beginner (20-35) with 24 comments
Just real quick.
@Kyokai
You did a little mistake on page 9:
Sunrise and Production I.G. are not both doing Guilty Crown. Only I.G. and the one missing for Sunrise is Gundam AGE. You though nobody would notice eh?? XDD
You can count on this redly-suspiciously Gundam fanboy to correct you XDDD
POWUH: Meta Team and Ringleader Extraordinaire~ with 6433 comments
Why would I purposefully misquote. >>
Though good on ya, gundam fanboy.
POWUH: Meta Team and PreCure Mastah with 9203 comments
Thanks TSRL! Are you excited for more Gundam!? I know I sure am muhahahah!
POWUH: 400-499 with 428 comments
All I have to say is wow, so many things to expect from the coming Fall, though I’m in agreement that Fate/Zero is at the top of the list. Returning cast as well as new members with the darker story in the background compared to the (relatively) lighthearted Fate/Stay-night. P4 though comes second but there are A LOT of new shows I have not heard of that I’m genuinely excited for…now I shall begin bouncing in my chair in glee…:)

Fate/Zero, HELL YEAH! *Metafist* I have never been this excited about an anime before… Well, Nisemonogatari comes near enough but you catch my drift. xD
Persona 4 is making me crazy with their new PVs as the days go by. Not to mention so many shows to check out. It’s definitely going to be an eventful season, this one.

!!! Thank you so much for creating such a comprehensive (and pretty) season preview post 😀 I am in awe of (and eternally grateful to) the Metanorn Team (Y)
I am so excited for Fall with approximately 7 series I’m looking forward to catching 8D 8D
…The only thing is that I only can start watching after my End of Year Exams end on 10 October so I. HAVE. TO. RESIST. T T

That’s so awesome to see you write that! So glad you really enjoyed the preview.
Fall’s looking pretty good. I’m not sure what my personal count of shows is, but each season this year I’ve underestimated the number, so it might hover between 5-10.

You are welcome! This was really a lot of work but amazing job team xD
Nice!! I have lost count on the series I will end up watching….probably a little of everything for me 😀

Looking forward to Phi Brain; Kami no Puzzle, HunterxHunter, and kimi to boku… Also going to continue on with bakuman, working, shinryaku ika mumsume and sekai-ichi hatsukoi =P
once again, very nice work on the review-ness =)

Very appropriate that you say review-“ness” since Ness did an amazing job with the design as is usually the case. 🙂
POWUH: Meta Team and PreCure Mastah with 9203 comments
Yes! Lots of exciting things to watch soon!
I am interested in HunterxHunter! And Ika Musume <3 <3 I missed that series I need my comedy fix.
LOL Yepp so much review-ness!

And every time a review comes out, I disappear right after it’s publish for a vacation xD
Thanks! (even though I’m unsure if that review-ness was even meant for me) :3

I went into this summary thinking the only shows worth my time were Working!!, Persona 4, Guilty Crown and Last Exile, yet now I’m more excited with Tamayura and Coppelion. I hope the later does actually air this season!).
Oh, and more Kimi ni Todoke means more Ayane = Win Win Win!!!
POWUH: Meta Team and PreCure Mastah with 9203 comments
Nice! Yeah there are a few surprise shows out there I will probably try a little of everything <3

I’ve heard good things about Coppelion, from manga readers, but I’m not sure we’ll be seeing it this season.

Oh god Kyokai I love Tales of Symphonia how could you say that ;___; But it’s releasing in the winter anime season, so it’s good that you didn’t put it in the list.
By the way, I looooveeee Tales of Symphonia. You know what this means *hint hint*
And that Natsume twins thingy? I thought it would be about bunch of girls, but it’s actually about bunch of guys. Has lots of yaoi pairing potentials. Will watch for the gheyness
POWUH: Meta Team and Ringleader Extraordinaire~ with 6433 comments
What did I say?! =P
Tales of Symphonia is getting so many OVAs like every season, we can’t cover it every time. =P but you are always welcome to cover it. 😉
And about Kimi to Boku., I always thought it would be awesome if someone made the guys’ version of K-On! and look at this, our time is made. xD

Love the new layout!
The only think I hate about fall is the lack of time I have for watching anime. D;
Definitely watching:

Fall is looking great so far!
POWUH: Meta Team and PreCure Mastah with 9203 comments
I love the layout too! Very cool xD
Trueeeeee some can watch anime all day!
Nice list I can’t wait for Guilty Crown, Working!!, and Mirai Nikki those seem like really fun shows to watch this season. Fingers crossed for Mirai Nikki not to be censored to much due to all the BLOOD…
POWUH: 400-499 with 406 comments
I know! I loved the all that blood in the manga. I really hope that it is present in the anime adaption.
POWUH: 400-499 with 489 comments
OMG YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thank you so much. Fall is the season for awesome anime. There’s like 6 animes airing on my birthday. CRAZYNESS I TELL YOU CRAZYNESS!
Im so happy that Bakuman is getting a 2nd season. The manga is so interesting. As well as all the other animes getting another season.
Detective Conan i love that show. All I need to do to catch up is watch more then 500 episode before october. Maybe I should just start watching the movies.
the animes are just so amazing I sooooo cant wait.
POWUH: Meta Team and PreCure Mastah with 9203 comments
You are welcome!!! Fall is looking amazing so many great looking shows, ooooh Happy early birthday! I know last year Kore wa Zombie desu ka? Came out on my bday too well a day before ahaha

POWUH: 400-499 with 489 comments

POWUH: Meta Team and Megane-chan with 3214 comments
Happy early birthday!
I want to get into Conan. I really do, but 600 episodes seems like a hell of a lot XD. Good luck with that!
POWUH: 400-499 with 489 comments
ahhh thank you
Conan is really difficult to. I’m also reading the manga which is more easier… i think
POWUH: and Yaoi Fangirl~ with 2320 comments
DROP DROP DROP CONAN
Not that I hate it, and I HAD the manga. But since it’s not even done until NOW, I decided to stop. It’s making me broke
POWUH: 400-499 with 489 comments
lmao I always wonder when it will end. it’s been on since around the time I was born. I haven’t hit 100 episodes and I’m on the 13th volume (and counting), but im not going to give up. i might just stick to the manga it’s faster.
