Summer Anime Catalogue 2011

Genres: Historical, Slice of Life, Seinen AIR Date: July 7, 2011 WEBSITE
Episodes: 12 Producers: Satelight
Director: Kenji Yasuda Original Creator: Hinata Takeda
Seiyuu: Show ▼

Ikoku Meiro no Croisée takes place in the second half of the 19th century, as Japanese culture gains popularity in the West. A young Japanese girl, Yune, accompanies a French traveller, Oscar, on his journey back to France and offers to help at the family’s ironwork shop Enseignes du Roy in Paris. Oscar’s nephew and shop-owner Claude reluctantly accepts to take care of Yune and we learn how those two, who have so little in common, get to understand each other and live together in the Paris of the 1800s. Trailer: Show ▼

Overcooled:
It looks like nothing ever happens in this anime except sometimes a girl smiles at the camera. <_<
Hato-kun:
Yep, gonna watch this. Looks kinda interesting. Though it would be cooler if they all spoke French instead of Japanese (Off topic, screw the haters, Gosick is awesome).
Zabobinator:
This looks like it’s going to be one of those cute, easy going sort of stories. It looks ok. If nobody else wants to cover it I’ll do it.
Foshizzel:
This looks too much like Gosick but with a Japanese looking girl instead, nooooo thanks!
anaaga:
This looks boring, but I like boring stuff. Boring + cuteness = anaaga approves.
Ness:
Slice of Life and History type animes are somewhat interesting to me but not for blogging. I’ll be checking this out but doubt I’d want to blog it.
Hoshi:
Oh how the 19th century interests me so, will most likely give a try…I mean, it does sound kind of cute…
Hime:
Looks boring as all hell.
Jrow:
19th century interests me very little, and that premise ain’t helping any bit. Art looks decent from Satelight, and maybe could be decent since the series duration is only gonna be 12 episodes.
Karakuri:
It looks boring, but I do like the name Yune… Yeah, my standards for why I watch anime are all over the place. I’ll try it.
Sassy:
Oh hey, Aoi Yuuki is back for some more Gosick. We’ll see.
Kyokai:
Cultural differences intrigue me because being a cocktail of South Asian blood I have relatives all around the world and when I travel, it’s always awesome to meet that cousin I never knew about and try to communicate in the local language. I just hope it’s not another gosick though because the girl looks like a black-haired version of Victorique and I’m not fond of lolis.

Seiyuu: Show ▼

Uta no Prince-sama – Maji Love 1000% follows Nanami Haruka, who wants to be a song writer, so she attends an idol training school filled with beautiful bishounen. The school pairs each aspiring songwriter with an aspiring idol, but Haruka finds herself paired with 3 idols! To make things more difficult, Nanami is also not allowed to date any of her beautiful partners.Trailer: Show ▼

Overcooled:
Get out. Get out now.
Hato-kun:
Noooope.
Zabobinator:
I SHALL CONSIDER THIS. I LIKE BISHIES. These tend to bore me really quickly though…I might pass…
Foshizzel:
Lots of dudes! No thanks.. hahaha
anaaga:
Out of all these bishies, only one look like a real bishie. The rest are ugly. NEXT!
Ness:
Has a Starry Sky feel to it but about idols and music. Oh wait, it is based off a game. Typical plot with conflict of choosing between the 3 even though it’s forbidden. I’ll check this out but would not even try to blog it.
Hoshi:
I can already predict this whole show without even watching it; insta-pass for me.
Hime:
A harem anime with no Jun? GTFO.
Jrow:
I like a harem series, but I prefer the sugar/spice/everything nice variety over frogs/snails/puppy-dog tails brand.
Karakuri:
Harems generally annoy the hell out of me. Passing on this one.
Sassy: Obviously no.
Kyokai:
Another Starry Sky with an awesome seiyuu cast orgy. HNNG. Decisions, decisions. But this is A-1 so definitely deserves a test.

Seiyuu: Show ▼

Mayo Chiki! follows 17 year old Konoe Subaru, who is the butler of Suzutsuki Kanade in school and a classmate of Sakamoto Kinjirou. Due to an accident, Sakamoto discovers Konoe’s secret… that he’s actually a girl!? Apparently she will be removed from her position if anyone at school finds out. What will unfold from this chain of events?Trailer: Show ▼

Overcooled:
Isn’t that just Ness’s life story? (just kidding. sort of) Why do so many shows think having an entire plot based on “this person is really the opposite gender! how edgy!” is enough?
Hato-kun:
Hey Ness, they made an anime about you. I might check it out, but probably drop it quickly. I don’t think I want to watch something from an animation company called “Feel”.
Zabobinator:
This looks hilarious! I’ll check this one out!
Foshizzel:
Looks like a fun show! A bit of Maria Holic with the cross dressing girl haha
anaaga:
Oh god, big boobs. harem. NNNNOOOOO
Ness:
An anime about me? PFFT I should sue them but srsly, why would I be a butler? But the outfit is cool! I’ll check this out if I can get past those big puppies.
Hoshi:
I’m honestly scared at how I suddenly want to watch this; a…possible…try from me?
Hime:
I wouldn’t watch the first episode even if you paid me.
Jrow:
Oh Feel… you’ve earned my fandom after the great Yosuga no Sora. How about the quality on dem breasts in that trailer! The music choice for the trailer is horrid, but I’ve previewed some of the manga and I think I’ll really like Konoe, so this is one I’m looking forward to.
Karakuri:
Sounds interesting enough and the character designs look okay. I’ll check this out.
Sassy:
This looks really familiar, I think I may have read the manga at some point. Maybe.
Kyokai:
LOLOLOLLLL. I’ll be checking this out for some mindless fun.

R-15 follows Akutagawa Takuto, a teenage porn novel writer. He enters Hirameki Gakuen, which accepts only geniuses with outstanding talent. He leads his classmates with his porn skills to win the inter-class competition.Trailer: See WEBSITE
Overcooled: …Moving along
Hato-kun:
Will watch the first episode to see if it’s funny. But if it’s just, well, you know, then I’ll be dropping this.
Zabobinator: No.
Foshizzel:
I thought this was about racing? Will have to check out the first episode.
anaaga:
Pornology? Might give it a try. IT’S PORN.
Ness:
… WTF… Somehow I feel that I might end up checking this out….
Hoshi:
OMFG…yes. So silly, I can’t help but want to check this out.
Hime:
Will watch …because…well…my sanity is long gone. Might drop though.
Jrow:
It’s what the internet is for. Part of me wishes this were some mockumentary on the life of Hugh Hefner, except with this kid going into porn directing. The premise can make for some funny situations and many innuendos and dirty puns, so yeah!
Karakuri:
…“He leads his classmates with his porn skills?” ahaha… yeah, no.
Sassy:
Hahaha yeah, I’m gonna check this out. Not too thrilled about the art, though.
Kyokai:
Just gonna watch this for LULZ. WhatisthisIdon’teven.

Director: Shin Oonuma Original Creator: Kenji Inoue
Seiyuu: Show ▼

Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu S2 The first season started with the “baka” Akihisa Yoshii, whose academy rigidly divides up the student body into classes based on the results of tests. The prodigies are in the A class with reclining seats complete with air conditioning, but Akihisa is in F class, the lowest rung of the school ladder which is furnished only with low, decrepit tables and worn-out straw tatami mats. A genius shoujo named Mizuki Himeji was pigeonholed into the F class even after being smartest one of the smartest because she had a fever on test day. Along with a rag-tag team of the F class, Akihisa decides to rally F class to take on the higher-tiered classes and seize their perks for school supremacy. Season two would continue with their “baka” shenanigans.Trailer: Show ▼

Overcooled:
Baka to Test is one of my all-time favourite comedy shows, since it actually makes me LAUGH. This is a feat in of itself. HELL YES, I’ve been waiting FOREVER for this!
Hato-kun:
Ain’t seen the first season. I heard it was pretty terribad.
Zabobinator:
Haven’t watched any of this before…
Foshizzel:
Still need to see the first season! One day…
anaaga:
Didn’t even watch the first season…
Ness:
Still haven’t seen the first season but the anime in general is on my to watch list.
Hoshi:
Been meaning to watch the first episode, but haven’t gotten the chance. So will pass until I’ve seen the first season.
Hime:
Very funny show the first time around, let’s hope the second season doesn’t disappoint.
Jrow:
I liked the first Baka to Test episode, but never felt compelled enough to download the rest of the series.
Karakuri:
Yaaay! new season! Watching!
Sassy:
About time! I’ve been waiting for this.
Kyokai:
Need to get on that season one now! Of course, I’ll be watching for the lulz! :3

Episodes: UNKNOWN Producers: Seven
Director: Naotaka Hayashi Original Creator: Sano Tae
Seiyuu: Show ▼

Morita-san wa Mukuchi follows Morita Mayu, a high school girl. She is extremely reticent; her silence and habit of looking at people’s eyes straightly sometimes cause misunderstandings. The reason behind it is not because she doesn’t like to talk nor because she has nothing to say. The reason she rarely speaks is due to the fact that she thinks too much before speaking; thus losing the timing to speak altogether. But she lives a happy school life with her classmates.Trailer: Show ▼

Overcooled:
I hate people who are so shy it’s debilitating. Get over yourself, girl!
Hato-kun:
Oh just go away, Hanakawa. I don’t like you.
Zabobinator:
This show looks cute but slightly annoying.
Foshizzel:
Main Character looks a bit derpy! No thanks….
anaaga:
I want to marry Morita. She will never complain about me. and YEAH HANAZAWA KANA!!!
Ness:
Sounds… boring….
Hoshi:
Someone’s been spying into my life…All right, I’m kidding. I’m not too sure about this yet; sounds like it could get boring easily.
Hime:
CANT COMPREHEND THE DULLNESS. *implodes*
Jrow:
She thinks too much before speaking, much like… well… me. Will watch.
Karakuri:
It’s like they based an entire anime on that one Kana Hanazawa character from The World Only God Knows. As much as I love Hanazawa, I’ll probably pass.
Sassy: Well, I’ll check it out for Kana Hanazawa.
Kyokai:
Why would I like to hear a non-stop monologue? I couldn’t even watch the full OVA. Passing this by~

    OMG This looks amazing!! Everyone has such amusing things to say XD

    But but but why does nobody love Nyanpire? ;w;

    • Ness says:

      I haven’t read up on that show>_>; been busy actually working the post haha. Thanks for the comment xD

    • Foshizzel says:

      Amazing indeed!

      Were all vampired out? xD

    • Kyokai says:

      Thank you~ And we skipped Nyaaan because it was too kiddy for us. Gomen. >.>;

      Oh also, first comment cookie!

  2. Mitsuki says:

    I just went through the list and felt like D:
    Movies aside not a single series of interest this summer, just sad.
    But thanks for the list <3<3

    • Foshizzel says:

      Awww hopefully you can find something fun to watch! You are welcome! Thanks for stopping by again!

    • Kyokai says:

      Thanks! There’s something for everyone. I can bet you will find that something.

  3. Joojoobees says:

    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.

    • anaaga says:

      *start bawling* WE ALL KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPENED TO THEM

      • Ness says:

        I KNOW RIGHT ANAAGA! /cries. The tragedy, I wish that I didn’t finish the series /sigh.

        • Kyokai says:

          Aaaaarghhhh! Didn’t know it was a prequel and I was dubious about happy endings too. >.>;;

        • anaaga says:

          it’s like, why make the prequels when you know how it’s going to end? it’s going to make me feel more attached to the characters D: It’s just gona make the fans fall into a deeper depression

          • Kyokai says:

            It’s like poking the fans on how good everyone was and what they didn’t get. ;__;

    • Yvoon says:

      O_O

      NOOOO!!!

      WHY DID U HAVE TO SAY THAT?? TT

  4. anaaga says:

    Holy shit, I never knew that Daisuke Ono’s going to be in Vitamin X

    jeez Ono, I am disappointed in you.

    and sexy graphics hell yeah

    • Foshizzel says:

      Anaaga go stalk him now! Muhahahah.

      Yes very sexy graphics! <3

    • Kyokai says:

      OD? Look at what Miyano is doing. Son, I am disappoint.

      And hell yeah SMEXY graphics ftw~ xD

    • Karakuri says:

      …Well he WAS in the original game… He kind of has to do the anime role. Poor guy.

      • Kyokai says:

        He can always say no but oh well. At least we’ll have Okarin still in Summers.

  5. Karakuri says:

    Uwah~ nice graphics!

    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.

    • Ness says:

      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.

      • Karakuri says:

        Sigh. Well at least my rage will be justified then.

        …Kyokai made you play a game? Which one?

        • Kyokai says:

          That makes me sound like perv but it was all legit! xD

          It was thisgame that we checked out while thinking up VN styled dating sims. Thank god, we didn’t get our inspiration from this one for Met’Amour. >.>

    • MikADo says:

      i remember reading a manga adaptation, but the original is the game right?

    • Foshizzel says:

      Wow! Awesome list of shows A-Chan! There are a lot of shows to look forward to I hope you have fun xD

      No. 6! Can’t wait for that one I think that show looks the most exciting for me, besides that boob ninja show and Sacred seven…

      Ahahah yes Baby Princess is freaking random and crazy sounding…

    • Jrow says:

      Baby Princess should be T-riffic, LOL

      I can see somewhere in the 4-6 range for series I’ll see thru to the end. So many shows, almost too many…

    • Kyokai says:

      Thank you for going through the whole thing! Yes, we put in lots of blood and tears into this one. <3

      And how could we leave our Baka to Test? It's in the RomCom Slice, which I can bet you just overlooked in the frenzy of reading everything. ^^

      • A-chan says:

        Yeah sorry ! I read it with so much joy I passed x’D !!! \o/ thanks again !

  7. A-chan says:

    GOOD JOB AGAIN TEAM METANORN <3 \o/

  8. Carla says:

    by the way, I am surprised that only two of you watched Nurarihyon no magician, I Thought it was great :/
    And please, I can not help but feel embarrassed for Madhouse

    Good Job ♥

    • Carla says:

      Whoa, my first comment didn’t appear… God is censuring me

    • Ness says:

      I didn’t finish it because I liked it that much. Usually I put animes on a ‘save’ list or on hold if I like them<_<;

    • Foshizzel says:

      I got lost in the crazy ass hair and stuffs, maybe I will go back and rewatch…maybe!

      • anaaga says:

        YOU GUYS SUCK. NURA-KUN IS THE SHIT. And I bet you can’t have that hairstyle, Fosh! Don’t be jealous! :p
        *high five at Carla*

        • amado says:

          yeah
          *steals anaaga’s high five*
          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!
          WOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

        • amado says:

          ah my comment was eaten. again.

    • Kyokai says:

      I’m gonna read the manga rather than watch anime. Also, I LOVE Madhouse, but I HATE them when they make shit like this. Though I’m still watching this. ;3;

      Thank you~ ♥

      • Carla says:

        @Kyokai
        I agree, I love Madhouse… But Madhouse + Marvel comics = FAIL

        @amado
        I want my anaaga’s high five back D:

        • anaaga says:

          @amado: I KNOW RIGHT!? Obviously tsurara is much more closer to nura rather than kana. And yeeeeesss the manga is such win-win I can never wait for the scans so I always read the Chinese RAW (although I don’t understand it xD)

          @carla: aaaww, I have to hands. Here, high five from my left hand *high five left hand*

  9. Alynn says:

    Omg the new layout is GODLY AMAZING. Good job guys!
    I’m going to be watching…
    Show ▼

    • Foshizzel says:

      Yep amazing list set up this time, Thanks!

      Another great list nice Alynn hope you enjoy your anime! I will probably end up watching every show up to three or four episodes before giving them the drop.

    • anaaga says:

      I am sad. You haven’t watched Sengoku Basara yet =(

    • Kyokai says:

      Thanks! And you need to add Natsume Yuujinchou in your list. I mean Kamiyaaan, mystery, nyanko-sensei, Omori, Brains Base, too many reasons not to miss this out. ^^

      • Alynn says:

        @ 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.

        @anaaga: I’m sad too. I heard it’s really good! I just have been too busy to watch a full series lately (I’ve exams soon, ie next week)

        @Kyokai: Kamiyan? Brains Base? CONSIDER IT ADDED.

  10. Bass says:

    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

    • Bass says:

      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 >_<

      • Foshizzel says:

        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.

      • Overcooled says:

        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.

        • Bass says:

          I haven’t been on msn in at least a month lol

          • Kyokai says:

            You’re getting free in mid June, right? Need to get on an epic chat on weekend then. xD

            • Bass says:

              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

            • Kyokai says:

              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

        • Tofu says:

          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

    • Ness says:

      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>_>;

      • Foshizzel says:

        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.

  11. Foshizzel says:

    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.

  12. Overcooled says:

    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

    • Kyokai says:

      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….

    • MikADo says:

      self praising FTW :3

    • Foshizzel says:

      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!

  13. Reaper says:

    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 🙂

    • Jrow says:

      Hopefully we don’t have to wait too long for the Blu-Ray of the FMA movie, that should be really good!

      • Reaper says:

        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

    • Karakuri says:

      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…)

      • Reaper says:

        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

        • Karakuri says:

          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!”

      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~

      • Foshizzel says:

        I AM READY FOR THE CARNIVAL!! WOOOO!!

        Yep more FMA, and Natsume can’t wait for those two as well <3

    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 🙂

    • Kyokai says:

      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.

    • Foshizzel says:

      I know right! People love them damn vampires xD

      Thanks! Hope you find something fun to watch for summer! Only 20+ days to wait

  15. Junko says:

    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 ▼

  16. Tofu says:

    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 ^^

    • Foshizzel says:

      Yeah! Everyone did an awesome job!

      Agreed I can’t wait to see it too ;D

    • MikADo says:

      Carnival Phantasm really looks fun <3

    • Kyokai says:

      Why thank you~ :3

      Good luck with exams, Tofu and hell yeah, I will be blogging Carnival Phantasm. I love take moon! xD

      • Tofu says:

        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

        • Kyokai says:

          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.

          • Tofu says:

            Oh okay, cause it says July in the post 😛

            I shall ask Fosh ;D

            • Kyokai says:

              Yeah, when we posted this, the date wasn’t announced but at least now we know when to expect it! xD

  17. Dan-go says:

    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

    • Foshizzel says:

      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!

    • Kyokai says:

      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

    • MikADo says:

      i forgot to add Ghibri and Basara movie :3 how clumsy of me

      • Foshizzel says:

        LOL awesome list there MikADo lots of great shows and more Nichijou!

        Yeah No. 6 looks fun

    • Kyokai says:

      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. ^^

  19. Yvoon says:

    yattaaa!!~

    its finally out!! ahh, i always look forward to these highlights!

    LOVE the banners for every genre of anime! so pretty~~

    well, i had mentioned my list in SJ, but i would like to add a few more.

    NARUTO MOVIE!! how could i forget about naruto!~

    aah, also looking forward to Blue Exorcist Ova!! XD

    and is it just me or does almost the whole bishies lair category really perk my interest? ;D

    p.s.

    NATSUME YUUJINCHOU FOREVEEER!!! <3

    • MikADo says:

      NATSUME YUUJINCHOU FOREVEEER!!! <3

    • Foshizzel says:

      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.

      HELL YA NATSUME FOREEVERRR!!! <3

    • Kyokai says:

      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

  20. Namika says:

    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 possibility

    • Namika says:

      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 music Speaking 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

    • Foshizzel says:

      LOL Nice list of shows! I probably will end up watching the first 3 episodes of those shows, hopefully they are fun.

      • Namika says:

        me too – I don’t know if I will follow all those >.>

        • Kyokai says:

          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:

          • Namika says:

            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 ^^”

            • Kyokai says:

              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.

            • Namika says:

              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! ^^
