Spring Anime Catalogue 2011
WELCOME TO METANORN’S MASSIVE SPRING 2011 ANIME CATALOGUE!
This post of 60+ titles took a lot of blood and sweat to compile! Roundups to be posted soon~ ^^;;
Update: Changed some cover images, added links to all skipped list and finally the ROUND UP IS HERE!!!
Kyokai: I feel like, I just did this. Not the review, A LOT OF WORK. So, I’m going to make this short. Spring usually is the time of the year when studios go crazy and give us so much choice that our mind boggles and eyes pop. Though, with the declining quality of anime, I’m not sure if it’s going to be a similar lineup or mix and match of good and bad. Usually it’s the latter so I’m ready to give out some benefit of the doubt. I can only hope some Spring happens here in Asia, or else I’ll be as usual feeling HOT, HOT, HOT till September. >.>
Overcooled: Spring means no more snow, and that means nicer weather. It doesn’t mean I’ll actually be outside to enjoy it, but at least I can study without having to turn the heating on. The spring selection of anime certainly looks a lot warmer than Winter, but I still feel a lot more cynical about it than everyone else I’ve chatted with. Maybe I’m just bitter. OH WELL. Let’s hope you have more luck finding some diamonds in the rough than I did.
Hato-kun: Spring? Don’t me laugh, northern hemisphere! You should know well that in Hato’s domain of the world is slooooowly creeping into Autumn! You know what Autumn means? Actual weather I like! Rain! Wind! Cold! No longer must I be slave to the heat of Summer! And while I’m curled up and warm, studying in my first year of Uni, I’ll know that when I decide to procrastinate (believe me, there will be a lot of that…) I’ll know that I have some good anime to watch!
Sassy: Oh god I’m not even caught up to winter anime at the moment, and SPRING anime is coming up? It looks like I need to switch back into sleepless mode in order to prepare myself. Now let’s take a look at this lineup. I don’t need to look at them beforehand because let’s face it, the only thing that REALLY matters is whether or not I get any Kanae Ito. I was cheated for the winter, so it’s time for the studios to pay up.
Foshizzel: Whoa! What happened to summer and winter! Seems like those shows went by so quickly! Spring season looks decent, hopefully we all can find something worth following. I am only looking at a handful of anime this season, I WANT SOME MECHA! Uh…yea anyway let’s find out what we all like the most!
Ness: Oh Spring is here. One step closer to summer, my friend the Sun, oh how I have missed you. But yeah! Spring Anime!! There’s a good amount that I want to watch and a good selection compared to Winter. But I will probably not be blogging as much this season, there’s so much school stuff going on in the spring that I want to just crawl under a rock. However, I have my eyes set on a few series to come.
Captain: If you were in Tokyo at this time, you’ll see cherry blossoms everywhere. EVERYWHERE. So much so that whenever the wind blows, petals and petals of pink literally smother you. It’s like Kuchiki Byakuya’s in real life, less dangerous Bankai. *cough* Tite Kubo must have gotten the idea from somewhere *cough* troublesome, but nevertheless, pretty. Spring also means that the anime advertisements get a turn for the better, I don’t know why, but they just do. Random fact, there, hey.
Hoshi: In So-Cal, Summer is hell, Winter is hell, and Fall is just plain annoying. Yet Spring, oh dearest Spring, brings the best, non-bipolar weather to the south of Cali, making everyone stop bitching about the weather for once during the year. Now to compliment that, the Spring anime selection is bringing out its best, and even turning some of my personal favorite mangas into anime from Deadman Wonderland to Ao no Excorist to A Channel. I don’t think I’ve ever been so excited for Spring before in my entire life. So many good things to fangirl about, BRING IT ON SPRING~!
Hime: Spring is one of my favourite seasons, the cherry blossoms, those days where it’s sunny but yet raining. It’s just wonderful. And it tends to be pretty good to me when it comes to anime. Summer, the little slut it is, is usually just filled with sequels to bad shows I didn’t care to watch the first time around and Winter is that uncomfortable friend that just doesn’t know what she’s trying to say so she flashes you her panties. Most of my favourite shows come out around this time so for once I can cast off my cynicism and genuinely get excited about stuff. Hur-f*cking-rah!
Kyokai: After reading the above comments, I just remembered that I should be excited because some awesome mangas being animated and some season twos coming in. I can only remember some funny words right now… Nomobuyo, Oshi, Hashitawa, Dokeda, Gunmicha, De, Ribura! It’s ironic, when read backwards as raburi de chamingu dakedo watashi ha shi o yobu mono, it means “Lovely and charming; however, I’m the one who will call upon death.” I did call upon death when I started reviewing this post but oh well, there’s a silver lining at the end of the tunnel and I will REACH it! Without any further ado, the breakdown:
>> Action Packed Circuit!: Here you will find all the action, mecha and shounen series, which includes some awaited and not so awaited titles.
>> The Moe and Ecchi Club: All up for some moe-moe-kyun~ and/or ecchi fun say, ahhhhnnn~ here!
>> The Bishies Lair and Outcasts:Fangirls’ most beloved section. This includes all the bishies, fangasm and outcasts, not fitting in other sections.
>> Spring OVAs: A list of Spring OAV/OAD of the season.
>> Spring Specials and Movies: A list of Spring Specials and Movies.
>> Roundups and Updates log: This is the final studio, seiyuu, sources roundup along with update notes on edits to be made.

About Team Meta
We are the deadly team of Metanorn. When together, we usually come up with long, informative reviews and commentary. After all, we take fangirling seriously!
POWUH: Metanorn Regular with 83 comments
I’m pretty much open to all the sci-fi and slice of life shows in spring. The line up is HUGE – looks like I’m gonna go over my bandwidth limit for the next three months O.O
Things that caught my eye were Electromagnetic Woman, Stein;gate, Ao no Exorcist and C: the possibility of money and control..Long list, long titles, i’m hoping the season won’t disappoint.
IS has put me off harem shows for a while…and I seriously ROFLed at the summary for Lotte’s toy – 10 year olds giving jobs…*shudders*
POWUH: Meta Resident and Metanorn's Hime-chan~ with 1758 comments
Yeah, Harem is definitely the genre I’m not going to touch anytime soon too. Except for Starry Sky though.
POWUH: Meta Team and Ringleader Extraordinaire~ with 6433 comments
Lol! I’m just thinking how in hell I would keep up with the titles; definitely would have to select the best out of the lot after the test rather than watching everything as I usually do. Let’s see how it pans out as I do have a diversified taste so a good mix of mystery, sci-fi, slice of life, comedy and romance do the trick.
Lotte’s Toy is just… but it sounds so hilarious; I will check it out how low they have gotten in loliconism. xD
POWUH: Metanorn Lover with 234 comments
Lotte isn’t the loli porn that everything seems to think it is. Not saying that the anime will be good (wtf kugimiya again), but it shouldn’t be any worse than any other ecchi stuff around (lolfreezing).
POWUH: 400-499 and Manly Russians lover with 401 comments
Wait, it’s not? The hell?
POWUH: Meta Team and Ringleader Extraordinaire~ with 6433 comments
You seem disappointed, Hato…
POWUH: Meta Resident and Metanorn's Hime-chan~ with 1758 comments
You really seem disappointed… ==”
POWUH: 600-699 and Wingman with 655 comments

POWUH: Metanorn Regular with 88 comments
No respect for Kaiji… “orz
POWUH: Meta Team and Ringleader Extraordinaire~ with 6433 comments
Sorry, I never got around it. D: Though I still like Madhouse minus all the Marvel rehashes.
POWUH: Meta Team and PreCure Mastah with 9203 comments
Lol well the next anime for marvel would be Blade so maybe vampire fans might like it? Not sure I was never a fan of the Blade live action movies.
POWUH: and Yaoi Fangirl~ with 2320 comments
OMG I DIDN’T REALIZE KAMIYAN WILL BE IN SEKA ICHI HATSUKOI!!! with nakamaru yuichi too! *Melt*
QUICK. THEY NEED TO HIRE ONO DAISUKE FOR THAT SERIES ASAP D:
POWUH: Meta Team and Ringleader Extraordinaire~ with 6433 comments
How could you not? KAMIYAAAAAAAAAANNNN~ But I don’t think he has a major role. Still, two of my favourite seiyuu being in it seals the deal for me. :3
POWUH: and Yaoi Fangirl~ with 2320 comments
no he’s not DAMNIT HOW COULD THEY DO THIS!? obviously they’ve never heard kamiyan as an uke. he sounds so smexy as an uke xD
POWUH: Meta Resident and Metanorn's Hime-chan~ with 1758 comments
OMG….. I just noticed the “>>>> ….KYUUBEY NO AHOOOOOOO!” comment. That cracked my up XDDDDDD
POWUH: and Yaoi Fangirl~ with 2320 comments
OMG YUICHI AND SHUICHI AT YOUR GRAVATAR
i bet you’re on your yaoi/shounen-ai fangirl mode this week
POWUH: Meta Resident and Metanorn's Hime-chan~ with 1758 comments
No, I’m not in yaoi mode this week. I am ALWAYS in yaoi mode! I just don’t always let it show ^^”
But if I do….. GO, Fujoshi power !!!!
POWUH: Meta Team and Ringleader Extraordinaire~ with 6433 comments
Hahahaa! I thought it was quite appropriate for Winter season. xD
POWUH: Meta Resident and Metanorn's Hime-chan~ with 1758 comments
Yeah LOL
And funny too 😀

POWUH: Meta Team and PreCure Mastah with 9203 comments
300 and rising! Wooooooo our power levels are going through the roooof!
POWUH: Meta Resident and Yōko Fanboy with 1246 comments
300+…. that’s insane~! xD
POWUH: Meta Team and Ringleader Extraordinaire~ with 6433 comments
320+ now. xD
POWUH: iLurker with 2 comments
Does anyone know which one of this anime is released as late night anime? Late night anime is better compared that released during the day like madoka, OreImo and shiki.
POWUH: Meta Resident and Yōko Fanboy with 1246 comments
We’ll just have to learn it the hard way by watching it xD
Also, I personally download my anime since we don’t have a anime channel here… it’s be a miracle if I had an anime channel.. *falls into own fantasies*
POWUH: Meta Team and Ringleader Extraordinaire~ with 6433 comments
Btw, not all late night anime are good. Some examples:
Seikon no Qwaser II, Lotte no Omocha!, Sengoku Otome, 30-Sai no Hoken Taiiku and Dororon.
However, some promising names like Deadman Wonderland, KamiNomi2, Steins;Gate, OreTsuba, C, Ano Hana, Hidan no Aria, A-channel, Denpa Onna, Maria Holice Alive and Sofuteni, Dog days, Tiger & Bunny and Nichijou are late-night ones.
POWUH: Metanorn Lover with 234 comments
Why is Lotte on that list.
Lotte is the best anime ever.
POWUH: Metanorn Regular with 81 comments
…You guys forgot about Inazuma Eleven GO too.
POWUH: Meta Team and Ringleader Extraordinaire~ with 6433 comments
Hasn’t it been airing for ages? We covered the new releases in Spring only.
POWUH: Metanorn Regular with 81 comments
Inazuma Eleven ends in April, and Inazuma Eleven GO (takes place 10 years later with new characters) is the sequel.
POWUH: Meta Team and Ringleader Extraordinaire~ with 6433 comments
Thanks for the info. We never got around this.

The Nelson image ’embiggen’ link is illegible. I want an SVG, or XML file, blast your slick and exam-study ridden, Charming Fireball-listing (Tachikomacon?) foolishness!
