Houkago no Pleiades – A manner movie based on the Houkago no Pleiades anime. A manner movie is a reminder video shown in theaters before the main movie starts, it is there to remind the audience to turn off their mobile phones, avoid talking, to maintain a pleasant viewing experience for others in the theater, etc. *cough*Like the beginning of all Kara no Kyoukai movies*cough* This Houkago no Pleiades manner movie was exclusive to the United Cinemas theater chain. Trailer: Show ▼

Overcooled: While the OVA was as average as average gets, I’m curious to see how a full length movie would pan out. Maybe things would be…better?
Hato-kun: Nigger what?
Zabobinator: Er…no.
Foshizzel: I liked the short 6minute ova’s lets hope a movie will give them plenty of time for Gainax to show off their own magical girl show, also car sound effects.
anaaga: What the hell?
Ness: Is this really a movie?!
Hoshi: I da naaawwwwwwww.
Hime: See above.
Jrow: Never saw the OVA, but feel like I should.
Karakuri: Okay, really now. ENOUGH MAGICAL GIRLS.
Sassy: Wait… manner movie? This is gonna be like 2 minutes long, isn’t it?
Kyokai: I don’t think they would be even be widely released. Aired as a special on a later date online? Who knows; though the released OVA was nothing special.

Hato-kun: You can’t just ‘wake up’ with super powers…

Seiyuu: Show ▼

Kokuriko Zaka Kara – An adolescence comedy taking place in 1963. Umi Komatsuzaki is a high school girl. She takes care of her brother and sister and manages a western-style lodge next to the sea instead of her mother, who is always away from home. It’s about her happy and busy school life with Shun Kazama, a member of the newspaper club, and Shirou Mizunuma, the president of the student council.Trailer: N/A
Overcooled: I’m all for Studio Ghibli, but I’m not sure how I feel about a comedy from them…I have a very particular sense of humour, but I’ll see if it tickles my funny bone.
Hato-kun: Ghibli. I like.
Zabobinator: As the resident lover of Studio Ghibli films, I adore this and I have not even watched it yet. I am covering this. I shall not entertain a word to suggest otherwise. Mine.
Foshizzel: Sounds like a warm and fuzzy movie, might watch this one we shall see!
anaaga: Sounds boring, but it’s Ghibli, so will watch.
Ness: The story doesn’t seem that great for a Ghibli film. But since it is Ghibli, obligatory watch for me.
Hoshi: I’m always attracted to these kind of stories, and even more so when I know Ghibli is doing it. Most likely will try to watch this when I have time~
Hime: Goro better get decent artists this time. His direction is good, but the artwork can be terrible. I’m not sitting through another Earthsea.
Jrow: It’s Ghibli. I don’t think they bat 1.000, but I’ll check this out.
Karakuri: Ghibli? Oh, I am watching this.
Sassy: The plot looked boring, but… Studio Ghibli, yes.
Kyokai: Who doesn’t like Ghibli, huh?! Though, Goro better do a good job on it. Of course, I’ll be checking this out.

Genres: Fantasy, Romance, Shoujo,Harem AIR Date: July 30, 2011 WEBSITE
Episodes: 1 Producers: Asahi Production
Director: QuinRose Original Creator: Lewis Carroll
Seiyuu: Show ▼

Heart no Kuni no Alice: Wonderful Wonder World – This is based off of a girly yet bloody otome game, re-imagining of Lewis Carroll’s classic fantasy novel Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland with bishounen characters and added romance. In this story, Alice is not all what she seems. She is practical, strong, yet darkly cynical. Instead of the traditional story, Alice is kidnapped unwillingly by a mysterious (yet somewhat bishie-looking) man with bunny ears into a place call Heartland. Stuck in Heartland due to a trick by the mysterious bunny eared man, she meets the residents of this world. Along the way, Alice meets Blood, handsome mafia leader; Ace, the psycho yet charming knight and more…What should Alice do in such a world!?Trailer: Show ▼

Overcooled: Harem? No thanks. Not even Akira Ishida’s silken voice could get me to watch this.
Hato-kun: Probably not? Sounds interesting though. Unless this is based off a series and not the original stuff?
Zabobinator: Enough Alice and Wonderland…
Foshizzel: No thanks, not a huge fan of Alice in wonderland…
anaaga: Yeah harem for girls.
Ness: I like the idea of a strong Alice. But then the bishie part came and somehow I know that I am going to watch this. I just hope this bloody part is good. GIMMIE BLOOD AND GORE (minus the tittays)!! It might have been cooler if this was a yaoi: Allen in Wonderland… yeahhh.
Hoshi: Tired of Alice in Wonderland, but the ‘bloody’ tag makes me want to stay…
Hime: Lol, now that’s more like it.
Jrow: Seconding Zabo’s request for no more Alice remakes.
Karakuri: Ahaha I remember playing this with a really bad translator. I’ll watch but otome games turned anime ALWAYS give me fangirl rage.
Sassy: Eh no.
Kyokai: I would second Ness on this, Allen would have been better. But I’m always up for some Wonderland fun and when it has blood and gore, I hope I’ll squee. xD

Naruto Shippuden Movie 5: Blood Prison – After being captured for attempting to assassinate the leader of the Hidden Lightning Village (the Raikage) and killing Jonin from the Hidden Mist and Rock Villages, Naruto is imprisoned in Hozūkijo, a criminal containment facility also known as: Blood Prison. The warden of the facility, Mūi, uses the ultimate imprisonement jutsu to steal the power and abilities from it’s prisoners. In the Blood Prison, something is targeting Naruto’s life. The battle to prove his innocence and uncover the truth has begun for Naruto and his friends.Trailer: Show ▼

Overcooled: What can I say? I like my Naruto. The movies are usually just an excuse to show off cool battles against an uninspired villain, but at least they’re not horrible.
Hato-kun: Naruto hasn’t finished? Goddamn it. K-ON ends and Naruto keeps going? What the hell is wrong with this world.
Zabobinator: Yay Naruto! <333 I hope this is better than the 4th movie. I’m excited!! 😀
Foshizzel: I will watch this! The last movie with the time travel was so lame! But this looks great! Nice animation.
anaaga: Screw Naruto, just give me Gintama.
Ness: I still need to watch the 4th movie!! Then I’ll watch this laters. I always like the Naruto movies even though I’m behind on the manga and anime. It’s all good because it is unrelated.
Hoshi: SO TIRED OF NARUTO…UGH
Hime: God, Naruto, JUST END.
Jrow: I made myself a manga-only reader 17 episodes into Shippuuden. If Kishimoto ever decides to write a script for one of these movies, let me know. Until then…
Karakuri: If I ever catch up to Shippuden, I’ll watch this.
Sassy: I don’t like Naruto. Lol at Hato.
Kyokai: Who read K-On! anyway? Oh wait, talking to the wrong crowd. >.> After the fiasco of the fourth movie (for which I was quite hyped about, time travel + Minator should have been WIN, damn it!), I don’t expect much, but of course, I’ll check it out.

Mahou Sensei Negima! Anime Final is the animated feature film based on the Negima! Magister Negi Magi manga.  The movie will be the final chapter of the Magic World Arc.Trailer: Show ▼

Overcooled: Well, at least this means it’s ENDING.
Hato-kun: I remember watching Negima back in the day. It was cool. At that time.
Zabobinator: Not interested.
Foshizzel: Woooo the ending movie?! I haven’t watched much Negima but this movie looks fun.
anaaga: Oh lol the glasses. Classic. But naaaaahhhh.
Ness: Nope…
Hoshi: Wait, it didn’t end yet…?
Hime: God, I remember watching this such a long time ago. Maybe for nostalgia sake…
Jrow: Never seen the series.
Karakuri: Harem? NO. Even if it is SHAFT.
Sassy: Okay, I’ll be honest, I actively follow this manga, so I think a movie about the magical world arc will be cool.
Kyokai: Red haired Harry Potter!!! W00t. I’ll be staying away from this one. Mahou shoujo makes me go bleh. And yeah, Shinbo get off the magical girl bandwagon already. Go direct Nisumonogatari or the second season of Arakawa!

Zabobinator: I have never even heard of this! xD
Foshizzel: I saw a few random episodes probably not my favorite choice.
anaaga: Never watched it. What is it anyway?
Ness: Never seen the anime. I’m still waiting to see the live action dorama.
Hoshi: Not even familiar with this series…
Hime: Blegh.
Jrow: Dammit, Hayate no Gotoku makes me laugh! I’ve been looking forward to this for a few months now, but will have to wait several more months after that. We’ll see what Manglobe can do taking charge of animating this. They’ve said a S3 will come after this. Nagi, Hinagiku, Maria… I love the whole cast, even that damn Tama!
Karakuri: Dropped the anime about 20 episodes in. Probably not watching this.
Sassy: Aw crap I dropped this series (the manga) a while ago. I watched about 20 seconds of the anime before dropping it because of a certain seiyuu whose name ends in -gimiya.
Kyokai: Don’t like the old-styled art and never got into the story but at least someone is looking forward to it.

      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

    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. >.>

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

        • 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*

      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.

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

            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!”

    • Kyokai says:

      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

  14. Samantha Zan says:

    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

  18. MikADo says:

    Blood C – clamp
    Last Exile – looks cool enough
    Kamisama Doll – blood? yes :3
    Idolm@ster – for Miki!!
    Baka Test II – YESSS!!
    No.6 – appealing

    Usagi Drops – No.1 of season
    Dantalian no Shoka – might, like the art

    Nichijou OVA – <3
    Kore Zombie special – love this series

    Movie – FMA – my love for this series is unrivaled

    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! ^^
