| Appleseed XIII will be a CGI anime series, with two compilation films, using combined footage from the episodes, to be released at the conclusion of the series. Unlike the two current installments of the motion picture trilogy, which features a contemporary refresh of the Shirow Masamune saga, Appleseed XIII is being marketed as a retelling of the original four-volume manga, which takes place in the 22nd century after a third war decimates the earth. Two international organizations called “Sacred Republique of Mumna” and Poseidon have been set up after the aftermath. Trailer: Show ▼

| Overcooled: |
Okay, so I never really paid attention to that movie that was released years ago, but I guess this “revival” might be worth a shot. |
| Hato-kun: |
Isn’t this a remake or something? I don’t know anything about old anime ;_; Shoot me now. But I.G are sexy, so I’ll be watching this. |
| Zabobinator: |
I’ve heard of Appleseed but I’ve never watched it and I don’t see myself starting now. |
| Foshizzel: |
Never really watched much Appleseed, I saw a few of the movies thought they were mostly Ghost in the shell rip offs. Might watch this series just to see why it is so popular. |
| anaaga: |
Never watch it, so no. But I’m hungry now. |
| Ness: |
I liked the movies, but I don’t know about a series. I’m not a big fan of CGI character designs but the rest looks pretty interesting. I’ll be sure to check this out just for the sake of being an Appleseed fan. |
| Hoshi: |
I’m not too sure about this :/ |
| Hime: |
There was a movie? Well, from what I gather it’s based on a game and I’ve had baaad experiences with that genre, so I’ll pass. *shudder* |
| Jrow: |
I loved both movies and have been waiting for this series since like 2008 when news of a series popped up. I love I.G. and am quite hopeful about an anime rendition of the series. |
| Karakuri: |
I’ve never seen the first two movies. Pass. |
| Sassy: |
The genre doesn’t really hit a note with me, so I won’t be checking this out. |
| Kyokai: |
It will get the first episode test, rest depends on the capture-level of this CGI. Just to be clear, the only CGI I’ve loved till now in anime is either Final Fantasy or Animatrix kind. |

| Blood C is CLAMP’s redo of Blood+, the vampire-slaying drama, with a brand new storyline. What would happen with this rehashing can be anybody’s guess because there’s more negative views than positive. However, it’s Production I.G and the seiyuu cast has been refreshed so the jury is still out for a verdict. Trailer: Show ▼
|
| Overcooled: |
I am not a fan of CLAMP at all…I don’t like their art and I don’t like the super shoujo stuff they pump out. I’m about halfway through the original Blood+ and it’s a pretty average anime, so I don’t know why it deserves a remake… |
| Hato-kun: |
Wait, CLAMP and I.G? I didn’t know about this. I mean, I’ve never watched this, but Junko has told me it’s pretty good. But then again, vampires… |
| Zabobinator: |
Haven’t seen the originals and this doesn’t really interest me.
|
| Foshizzel: |
Another Blood+ show?! Guess it might be fun, gotta love that long haired Saya! Agreed with OC here why another remake? |
| anaaga: |
I’m a huge fan of CLAMP, since they never disappoint me (only confuse me). So I might give this a try. |
| Ness: |
I actually liked Blood+ and of course the first movie, Blood the Last Vampire. I’m a CLAMP fan but not hardcore. I’ll check this out for sure. |
| Hoshi: |
Sounds interesting~ I loved Blood+ (never finished it though, LULZ) and I’ve always been a fan of CLAMP, so I will probably give it a try. |
| Hime: |
If there was one thing CLAMP shouldn’t have touched…Sigh, well after they botched up xxxHOLiC’s ending I have lost all faith in them. So, I’ll pass. |
| Jrow: |
I liked Blood+, and while the first episode will be a nice birthday gift to me (7/7), CLAMP turns me off and I at least hope C’s story has substance. |
| Karakuri: |
I AM WATCHING THIS. Saya+CLAMP= awesomeness. |
| Sassy: |
I was going to complain about CLAMP’s art, but then I took a look and it’s not actually that bad this time around. I might check it out if there’s enough blood, but it’s not on top of my list.
|
| Kyokai: |
I didn’t like Blood+, Saya was boring. I have read a lot of vampire-based books and watched too many series/movies to be overly impressed. If the redo means a total changeover, I’ll give it a chance. |

| Blade is the anime adaptation of the Marvel comic, Blade. The story centres around Blade, a vampire slayer who has some unique vampiric abilities of his own due to his mother being bitten while she was giving birth. He is called the Daywalker and has an upper hand to the trademark vampires who are by rule nocturnal. Like all previous Madhouse adaptations, Blade too would have a Japanese connection for plotline but how it will play out, we’ll see. Trailer: Show ▼
|
| Overcooled: |
Madhouse STILL isn’t done with these crappy remakes yet? Really? |
| Hato-kun: |
More like BAD-DE! Wait, no. That was horrible. |
| Zabobinator: |
I stay faaarrr faaaaarrrrrr away from Marvel remakes. So yah, I’m not watching this one. |
| Foshizzel: |
Ah yes another Marvel+Madhouse party…Not really a blade fan so pass!!! Xmen was great looking but meh not wanting any vamps.
|
| anaaga: |
NO. JUST NO.
|
| Ness: |
Seen the movies but once is enough so I doubt I’d watch an animated series of it.
|
| Hoshi: |
AGAIN? I’m even tired of the comic-to-movie remakes in the US…Insta-pass.
|
| Hime: |
More vampires? Srsly, world, get over it.
|
| Jrow: |
I’ve seen bits of the Blade movies, but never have I cared enough to check out the movies in full or any animated series before.
|
| Karakuri: |
…I doubt that I’ll bother with this one.
|
| Sassy: |
Hahaha no. |
| Kyokai: |
Madhouse, honey, go make some more animu like Tatami Galaxy, Aoi Bungaku, Death Note, etc. than these Marvel comics. I know it’s a fast earner but we have gotten tired of it. Not to mention I just had a heart failure seeing Sakamoto Maaya voicing a role in this.

| Sacred Seven is a combination of school life, mecha battles against monsters, and people whose memories can change the world somehow. It’s a Sunrise project with seven main characters (no surprises there), filled to the brim with lots of action. We will have to discover what makes them tick and their powers to go off. Trailer: Show ▼
|
| Overcooled: |
Hurr…looks like a generic mecha. It looks like it has some decent drama so I’ll probably check it out of curiosity and nothing more. |
| Hato-kun: |
Mecha. Ehhhhh, maybe not. That and the art doesn’t look too good… |
| Zabobinator: |
Meh. Mecha. Not too sure about this one… |
| Foshizzel: |
Closest thing to Mecha that I will get so yes! I will watch this and it’s Bandai! Gotta love them, well I do anyway…. |
| anaaga: |
What the hell is that heart. What the hell is that thing coming out from his forehead. I am curious. Will try. |
| Ness: |
Love Mecha, and the suits look cool. The added monsters and superpowers is different for a change but the glass heart power ughhh. I’ll check this out though. |
| Hoshi: |
I’m strangely intrigued. Will give the first episode a try. |
| Hime: |
Sunrise are pretty much my favorite studio after BONES turned to crap these last few seasons. Will be watching this one. |
| Jrow: |
The main guy’s armor looks pretty cool, so that’s at least an episode’s worth. I associate Sunrise with the word “meh” more often than not, so I’m not too intrigued by S7. |
| Karakuri: |
The trailer doesn’t look that interesting, but it has Megumi Nakajima so maybe I’ll take a look… |
| Sassy: |
NO MECHA. But dammit, it has Kanae Ito. I’m screwed. |
| Kyokai: |
The only thing going for it right now is Sunlight, Yuki Kajiura and Nobuhiko Okamoto. I’ll give this the test. |

He dislikes his demon side, but decides to be the head of the clan anyways. However, not everyone is going to make this easy for him… so let’s join him in his continued journey for another season. Trailer: Show ▼
|
| Overcooled: |
I gave up on season 1, so don’t expect me to try season 2. |
| Hato-kun: |
Second season, will not watch! Is it about cats? I feel like it might be about cats. |
| Zabobinator: |
Pass. xD |
| Foshizzel: |
Same gave up on season 1, that hair….THAT HAIR! What the hell? |
| anaaga: |
HELL YEAH. HELL.YEAH. And that hair is awesome, okay. I bet nobody can have that kind of hairstyle. |
| Ness: |
I still haven’t finished the first season but it’s good stuff! Looking forward to this. Rikuo’s night version in this s2 looks so hawt! |
| Hoshi: |
Didn’t watch the first season so, pass~ |
| Hime: |
Obligatory Jun Fukuyama. I actually quite like the first season, too. Gotta love that whole split personality/Day/Night/selfcest thing going on. |
| Jrow: |
I only watched the first episode of the first series and didn’t really find a quality of the show I liked. |
| Karakuri: |
I couldn’t get past episode 3 in season one. Pass. |
| Sassy: |
Didn’t watch the first season because it looked boring. |
| Kyokai: |
I’d rather read the manga. Never got over the first two episodes of the anime. |

| Last Exile: Ginyoku no Fam is a follow up to Last Exile featuring new characters, a new setting and story than the original. Starring a young girl named Fam, this series follows her throughout the sky. The story is set in between warring nations, so expect some action and adventure for sure. Trailer: Show ▼
|
| Overcooled: |
Hmm, looks like an interesting steampunk show with a lot of great seiyuu to back it up. It’s definitely caught my attention~ |
| Hato-kun: |
Ehhhhh…. If it’s a second season, probably not. Seems slightly interesting. But then I watched the trailer, and saw a chick with no pants on. So even more probably not. (Also, someone needs to tell Japan how to make trailers) |
| Zabobinator: |
Didn’t watch the first season, so I’ll pass on the second. I will not understand a thing. xD |
| Foshizzel: |
I loved the first season of this way back! Although I saw it english dubbed still was quite fun, This is the type of CGI I can stand. |
| anaaga: |
Never watched the first season, and not planning to. I still have to watch other stuff. |
| Ness: |
Loved the first season. I’m unsure about a second and with a whole new story but looks interesting so I’ll check it out. |
| Hoshi: |
Neh, never saw the first one either… |
| Hime: |
Never saw the first one. |
| Jrow: |
LE was a series that I always thought looked fairly decent whenever I’d come across it online, but I’ve yet to watch anything of the first series. Maybe something here will spark my interest in the LE franchise. |
| Karakuri: |
If I ever catch up with the first season (ahaha like that’s going to happen), maybe. But I doubt it. |
| Sassy: |
Didn’t watch the first season, but I may end up checking this series out anyway. Doesn’t look too bad. |
| Kyokai: |
Yes, you read that right, everything is either being renewed, rehashed or getting a continuation this summer season. Though this doesn’t look too bad. Will check after catching up to season one. |

| Kamisama Dolls is about Kyouhei, when he moves to Tokyo to get away from a particularly bad experience, only to end up stumbling upon a mangled corpse in an elevator after attending a goukon. His little sister Utao and her Kamiama Doll tells him that an old acquaintance and his dolls are the culprit. Trailer: Show ▼
|
| Overcooled: |
My general thought process is that if there is blood and drama, IT WILL BE GOOD. The trailer really won me over…I’m in. |
| Hato-kun: |
Bleh. Antagonist looks like one of those bad dudes that everyone will love and ship with the good guy. Seems kinda interesting, and that chicks robot / doll thing looked like QB. I laughed. Might watch the first episode. |
| Zabobinator: |
I’ve seen this title around and I’ve been meaning to check it out. I’ll definitely be watching this one. It looks pretty legit awesome. |
| Foshizzel: |
Well this looks quite fun! Blood all over the place hahahah, I saw a few chapters looks interesting. |
| anaaga: |
W00t Finally the anime is out! I don’t know if I’ll follow this though, since I already know what’s going to happen =/ Might give it a try. |
| Ness: |
This looks interesting with the blood and slashing. The dolls/robot used to fight others hmmm… I’ll check this out. |
| Hoshi: |
Coincidentally I just gave the manga a try not too long ago, and liked it, so I will definitely watch this~ |
| Hime: |
The trailer is so slashable. I’m sold. |
| Jrow: |
My interest was gained as soon as I saw a guy slashed to pieces on the floor. Brains Base has been on a roll recently, so I’m giving this one a chance for sure. |
| Karakuri: |
I gave up on the manga about 5 chapters in, but maybe I’ll give this a chance. |
| Sassy: |
I read the scans for this a long time ago, but they didn’t get that far. Might check this out to see how it ends. |
| Kyokai: |
Was that Kyuubey I spied? Brains Base with blood and gore and wow, Nobuhiko is sure going around this season. Definitely watching. Also, so dubbing this another bromance worth series like T&B/Ao-ex. |

Re: Hakuouki Sekka-Roku:
This is supposed to be a prequel, set before Chizuru joins them, so there won’t be a happy ending for her. I liked the first two seasons, and thought it was really cool to have a show with a tragic ending for a change.

Actually thinking about it now, I’m kind of excited for Heart no Kuni since it’s been put off since forever ago. I wonder if they’ll actually follow a route or if they’ll pull some bs harem ending.

I won’t be surprised if there’s a BS harem ending and from the looks of it. Hell, she should just whore herself around. This reminds me of that SIM game that Kyokai had Fosh and I check out when starting Met’Amour hahahahha damn game, can’t believe I played through it.

the manga is great. the 1st season sucked since the director decided to give kana more scenes, when in fact, she has already lost her status as a main character. truly.
also messed the inugami arc.
tsurara is the best girl for rikuo!

@ Fosh: That’s a lot to try out though, haha. I normally end up testing other ones out if I have nothing to watch/ catch up on.

Great job on the preview guys XD Everything looks great.
Summer seems to be a bit dull, it seems like it’s gonna be a repeat of winter. I hope that other than the noitamina shows, there will be some hidden gems like Madoka and Level E were in winter.
Still, there are a lot that has potential, I hope they pull it though. I think I’ll be fine though since Ao no Exorcist, Tiger and Bunny and Hanairo will still be running in summer XD

And wow, I forgot just how big the Metanorn family got. I was shocked to see that long intro :O
I still haven’t even met more than half of them. I’ll have to set some time for msn soon >_<
POWUH: Meta Team and PreCure Mastah with 9203 comments
Oh yes I was thinking the same thing Bass! Like wow we have a huge team, so expect lots of awesome tag reviews to spring up on Metanorn.
Yes! We need to have more mass MSN convos! Well just poke starburst and she will create one ahahaha.
POWUH: Meta Team and The Mad Scientist with 5525 comments
I haven’t really talked to any of Sekijitsu’s writers on MSN either (aside from you and Tofu a couple of times). WE MUST CORRECT THIS IMMEDIATELY.
POWUH: Metanorn Regular and Bassun-yo~ with 118 comments
I haven’t been on msn in at least a month lol
POWUH: Meta Team and Ringleader Extraordinaire~ with 6433 comments
You’re getting free in mid June, right? Need to get on an epic chat on weekend then. xD
POWUH: Metanorn Regular and Bassun-yo~ with 118 comments
Yea but I’ll be going on holiday with my gf to Australia for a week lol and going on a trip down south not long after that.
Will see if I can pop in
POWUH: Meta Team and Ringleader Extraordinaire~ with 6433 comments
You do love Ozzie, don’t you? This is like the second time but hey, enjoy yourself and don’t go missing afterwards! xD We have to work on a collab. :3
POWUH: Meta Resident and Yōko Fanboy with 1246 comments
THe sad thing is OC, our time difference is so vast D: I come back home from a normal day and it’s already 11 at night for you T___T I do miss our msn chats
POWUH: Meta Team and PreCure Mastah with 9203 comments
We have to stalk harder I mean “watch” people on our msn box!
POWUH: Meta Team and Ringleader Extraordinaire~ with 6433 comments
LOL! So much stalking~
POWUH: 500-599 and The Trapolicious Treasurer with 599 comments
Thanks Bass! xD
I’m sure there will be some hidden gems. If not, there’s always the OVAs or movies haha. But too bad the movies won’t be seen for a while.
Yes, Tiger and Bunny will still be running. I still need start watching Ao no Exorcist. So behind>_>;
POWUH: Meta Team and PreCure Mastah with 9203 comments
Well a few shows carry over like Exorcist, Tiger and bunny, Nichijou, Hana Iroha, and I think that’s it from spring season I saw those shows got bumped to the 25-26 episode range.
Which makes me happy! Not so much for Hana Iroha but the others really need to be 25+ Not sure about Nichijou hopefully it doesn’t crash and burn.
POWUH: Metanorn Regular and Bassun-yo~ with 118 comments
Wow Nichijou is two cour? Wonder if they can keep it fresh that long
POWUH: Meta Team and PreCure Mastah with 9203 comments
Oh yes Nichijou will carry over into summer! This makes me happy <3 that show.
POWUH: Meta Team and PreCure Mastah with 9203 comments
Awesome work on the grahpics Ness! Great stuff <3
Lots of shows to watch! Can't wait to start watching some soon.
Looking forward to Sacred Seven and No. 6! And many others ahaha to many to list, course there are lots of hits and misses like every other season of new anime.
POWUH: Meta Team and Ringleader Extraordinaire~ with 6433 comments
Ness did an amazing job, yeahh!
At least it’s exciting! Something for everybody, definitely~
POWUH: 600-699 and Wingman with 655 comments
great work guys 😀
POWUH: Meta Team and Ringleader Extraordinaire~ with 6433 comments
Heck yeah! Thanks~ <3
POWUH: Meta Team and The Mad Scientist with 5525 comments
I still can’t believe WE MADE THIS behemoth of a list. Good job everyone! I know self-praise is no honour but…we done good.
I actually think the Summer season looks great! Much better than Winter, which had me watching…one good show? It won’t be long until we’re fighting to find out who gets to blog what XD
POWUH: Meta Team and Ringleader Extraordinaire~ with 6433 comments
Muhwahahaa. Yes, we have done good! It took so much time but finally it’s here. XD
And yes, I think I should prepare a ring for this season so that everyone can fight it to their deaths…. kidding or maybe….
POWUH: 600-699 and Wingman with 655 comments
self praising FTW :3
POWUH: Meta Team and PreCure Mastah with 9203 comments
Summer season looks great! A few cool looking shows, but ya a few will crash and burn quickly but who knows.
SELF PRAISING! WE ROCK! Err I mean party on Metanorn~
True lots of tags inc!
POWUH: Meta Team and Ringleader Extraordinaire~ with 6433 comments
Bring out the SAKE!!! xD
POWUH: 400-499 with 428 comments
Holy crap, good work team! So much anime to watch and it’s almost the beginning of a six-week holiday from uni…damn you exam on friday…anyway, defs looking towards so many things, here’s the list
Show ▼
Most waited two however are
Carnival Phantasm (Damn you, bring out Mana Ryougi! Must see the forbidden love child of Shiki and Mikiya!) and FMA movie (it’s been too long for my FMA fix! Alchemy FTW!)
Huh, that’s my spiel…heh, almost sound like a metanorn blogger with my rant…that will be the day 🙂
POWUH: 1000-1099 and Pirate King with 1048 comments
Hopefully we don’t have to wait too long for the Blu-Ray of the FMA movie, that should be really good!
POWUH: 400-499 with 428 comments
Definitely, it might not be canonical but at least it’s a lot more related than the Conqueror of Shamballa film…no two-world alternate business
POWUH: Meta Team and Megane-chan with 3214 comments
I’m totally with you for the Blood+ continuation thing…. but at the same time, I’m curious as to how they’ll portray Saya’s character (plus they gave her glasses!!! … and some Magic Knight Rayearth looking sword…thing…)
POWUH: 400-499 with 428 comments
I know, I was stoked to see Saya as a megane touhou character too, and Nana Mizauki being her seiyu? Perfect match…PS love the Persona dp ;P funny how I’m playing P3P atm for the umpteenth time
POWUH: Meta Team and Megane-chan with 3214 comments
Yes! Nana Mizuki! I really love the new design CLAMP has going for Saya. It makes her less… I don’t know, useless? My problem with Blood+ was that it took Saya like, 20 episodes to actually do anything instead of standing there saying that she doesn’t want to fight.
Ahaha same here with the P3P. I keep trying to do Ken’s route but I always cancel last minute going “nooooo I’m not a shotacon!”
POWUH: Meta Team and Ringleader Extraordinaire~ with 6433 comments
You need to watch Natsume, like now. It it that good after all. And HELLS YES FOR CARNIVAL PHANTASM & FMA!!! We can only wish for Mana but when Shiki’s not there, how can there be Mana. ;3; Still, at least we are getting ol’ Saber, Lancer and Archer. Bonus for me is Sakamoto Maaya in FMA, she voiced Shiki after all~
POWUH: Meta Team and PreCure Mastah with 9203 comments
I AM READY FOR THE CARNIVAL!! WOOOO!!
Yep more FMA, and Natsume can’t wait for those two as well <3
POWUH: Metanorn Lover with 207 comments
So many vampire shows, ugghhh turns me off. Hmmmm, not that many shows that I’m interested in, but at least there are a few out there. But anyway, great job once again Metanorn team 🙂
POWUH: Meta Team and Ringleader Extraordinaire~ with 6433 comments
Thank you very much! We pulled all punches this time around.
There would be definitely gems of Summer, let’s see how we do it.
POWUH: Meta Team and PreCure Mastah with 9203 comments
I know right! People love them damn vampires xD
Thanks! Hope you find something fun to watch for summer! Only 20+ days to wait
POWUH: Meta Team and Ringleader Extraordinaire~ with 6433 comments
I’m SO OVER vampires. Twilight, effing move over!
POWUH: Lovely-pyon~ with 339 comments
I’m totally ready for Natsume yuujinchou san, you don’t even know. I’m also keen but worried about Blood C. Speaking about worried, Heart no Kuni no Alice proved to be more than an Alice obsessed manga, but that trailer..
I wasn’t sure if I was supposed to hope on this list or not but here’s what I’m thinking of watching, it’s pretty long..Show ▼

POWUH: 1000-1099 and Pirate King with 1048 comments
My download of Natsume seasons 1 and 2 just finished today. WOO! Hopefully I’ll get them out in time for the S3 start.
POWUH: Meta Team and Ringleader Extraordinaire~ with 6433 comments
Once you start you can’t stop though season two is quite laid back.
POWUH: Meta Resident and Yōko Fanboy with 1246 comments
WOAH!! Good job Meta team on the new season design~! I like-a very much~~ :3
I’ll be sure to look through it when I have time, currently in exam week so I will be quite busy T__T
But… CARNIVAL PHANTASM!!! <3 I'd love to see Kyo tackle this one ^^
POWUH: Meta Team and PreCure Mastah with 9203 comments
Yeah! Everyone did an awesome job!
Agreed I can’t wait to see it too ;D
POWUH: 600-699 and Wingman with 655 comments
Carnival Phantasm really looks fun <3
POWUH: Meta Team and Ringleader Extraordinaire~ with 6433 comments
Why thank you~ :3
Good luck with exams, Tofu and hell yeah, I will be blogging Carnival Phantasm. I love take moon! xD
POWUH: Meta Resident and Yōko Fanboy with 1246 comments
WOOT! But but Kyo… I heard it’s been delayed D: Is this true!?
Btw since Sora no Otoshimono: Tokeijikake no Angeloid is a movie adaption of the manga, does that mean I don’t have to watch the series? It’s got Hikasa Yoko in it so I’m gonna give it a try ONLY if I don’t have to watch the other stuff 😛
Ru-Kyu-Bu is AWESOME!!! xP
POWUH: Meta Team and Ringleader Extraordinaire~ with 6433 comments
The last I checked, it was up for 14th August release date and it still is. Yeah, it would be late summer though. >.>
I think Fosh will be able to answer your Otoshimono question. Haven’t watched this at all.
POWUH: Meta Resident and Yōko Fanboy with 1246 comments
Oh okay, cause it says July in the post 😛
I shall ask Fosh ;D
POWUH: Meta Team and Ringleader Extraordinaire~ with 6433 comments
Yeah, when we posted this, the date wasn’t announced but at least now we know when to expect it! xD
POWUH: 1100-1199 and Meta's Evil rice-flour Product with 1137 comments
I must say the graphic and design getting better and better each season! congrats guys! really have no idea what i’ll watch, i’ll probably have to tone it down a bit (no more mooching off parents internet…got that stupid uni thingy) looking forward to the reviews
POWUH: Meta Team and PreCure Mastah with 9203 comments
Lots of inspiration from other friends too! Thanks Dan-go! LOL yeah the list is huge for summer, I will attempt to watch as much as I can but we shall see.
Thanks!
POWUH: Meta Team and Ringleader Extraordinaire~ with 6433 comments
We are on the continuous improvement drive for Metanorn always so glad that everyone took it well. ^^
Aah, university means more responsibility; best of luck. We’ll sift out the good ones for you in the summer so that you don’t have to watch the shit ones. xD

Summer season usually is not as great as Spring or Winter, but still has its values. Not much was expected, but i see some shows with potential, so im excited :3 But it is true that my list, compared to Spring season, is a LOT shorter
POWUH: 600-699 and Wingman with 655 comments
i forgot to add Ghibri and Basara movie :3 how clumsy of me
POWUH: Meta Team and PreCure Mastah with 9203 comments
LOL awesome list there MikADo lots of great shows and more Nichijou!
Yeah No. 6 looks fun
POWUH: Meta Team and Ringleader Extraordinaire~ with 6433 comments
I agree that summers usually aren’t that great but compared to previous ones, at least there are sizable numbers of shows that are worth checking out. I love your top animu, definitely excited about Carnival Phantasm and FMA movie too. ^^
POWUH: Lovely-pyon~ with 322 comments
yattaaa!!~

NATSUME YUUJINCHOU FOREVEEER!!! <3
POWUH: 600-699 and Wingman with 655 comments
NATSUME YUUJINCHOU FOREVEEER!!! <3

Yep! At long last the epic summer list has arrived!
Very cool banners! <3
LOL yes lots of Naruto in the summer not just one movie but 2! Yep Blue Exorcist OVA should be lots of fun.

POWUH: Meta Team and Ringleader Extraordinaire~ with 6433 comments
YES! It’s HERE after all! I know you’ve been looking quite forward to it, writing about the reviews too. ^^
Also, this list was designed by girls so of course, the Bishies Lair would be the most awesome! It’s my favourite slot after all. xD
LOVE NATSUME FOREVER!!! <333

O-TA-NO-SHI-MI-DA-EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE~
Right off the bat – FMA movie made me squeal like crazy!!! I know about it since the end of winter season, and my nerves are ready to self-destruct. TT^TT Too bad we won’t see it very soon………. Also, I’m really interested in another Ghibli movie. >.> Though I agree with OC – a comedy from Ghibli is something ……. intriguing ^^;
From the series, I’m sure I will check out Blood-C, just because I love mystery, Gothic style, Production IG and Yoshikazu Iwanami. Sacred Seven, because of Kajiura Yuki and Ohashi Yoshimitsu. I wanted to check out another Sunrise mecha, so I think I will give this a try. Next – Kamisama Dolls. God, when I first saw that cover, I thought it would be some dirty, cliche ecchi show but…. I was positively pleased by the trailer. I didn’t like the art, but I’m checking it out. Natsume Yuujinchou San seems interesting, but I haven’t seen the first 2 seasons, so maybe some other time. Dantalian no Shoka seems like Gosick-to-be show. I absolutely HATED gosick, but I think I will check out this one too. + Daisuke Ono. *fangasm* Usagi Drop – Kyokai-san, yoroshiku ne~ ^^ I am SO IN for that mushy, cheezy show!! I love anime that make your chest feel warmer <3 Then, NO.6. Idk, I just like it.
sees a shounen-ai possibilityPOWUH: Meta Resident and Metanorn's Hime-chan~ with 1758 comments
Ikoku Meiro no Croisée seems interesting, because the trailer is very……. atmospheric, I guess??? I instantly fell in love with the music *~*
sucker for shows that involve culture and beautiful musicSpeaking of. I’m gonna steal Sassy’s phrase – screw everything! I’m watching IDOLM@STER! ><"Well, I think that's all that I'm interested in….. Of course, knowing myself I can guess that I won't check out all of these. xD I wanted to see so much from the spring season, but in the end I didn't watch even the hald. I dropped Steins;Gate, C, stopped watching HI….. I follow only DW, SIH and Ao-Ex. O_O
POWUH: Meta Team and PreCure Mastah with 9203 comments
LOL Nice list of shows! I probably will end up watching the first 3 episodes of those shows, hopefully they are fun.
POWUH: Meta Resident and Metanorn's Hime-chan~ with 1758 comments
me too – I don’t know if I will follow all those >.>
POWUH: Meta Team and Ringleader Extraordinaire~ with 6433 comments
Nice list, Namika-chan~ <3 Of course, I'll be watching everything so that others don't have to watch shit shows but it's going to be interesting. High five on Usagi Drop and I highly recommend Natsume Yuujinchou.
Btw. Why did you drop Steins;Gate and C?! D:
POWUH: Meta Resident and Metanorn's Hime-chan~ with 1758 comments
You are such a kind person from that angle *,* I think I will check out Natsume Yuujinchou too…..)))))
I had some issues.. School work, + my computer is lagging a lot. It’s turning off every now and then so I can’t watch anime a lot. Still, I loved both of these, but my interest just died out O_O I have no idea why, but I don’t want to make myself watch a good show that doesn’t make my interest twitch ^^”
POWUH: Meta Team and Ringleader Extraordinaire~ with 6433 comments
I guess when you become a vet, you have to go cover that extra mile and I guess, in the process of running Metanorn, I’ve acquired the skill to watch almost anything. >.>;
Hope your PC gets better. Get your RAM checked, same for the power hub.
POWUH: Meta Resident and Metanorn's Hime-chan~ with 1758 comments
That is a great skill to have. I swear, being as bitchy as I am is very… bad. That’s why I would be a terrible bosslady. Cheers for you! ^^
