Winter Anime Catalogue 2012
———————————————————————————
 |
Phew! It’s done… like finally! I’m so glad this was not as big as Fall or I’d be dead by now of tiredness. Winter is not a very ‘happening’ season in terms of big releases but with holidays, we get loads of OVAs and specials with the DVD/Blu-ray boxes with discounts and never before seen offers. Yeah, good times for fandom and to rake in some monehhhs. This time around we have around 90 titles releasing with 29 TV series, 41 OVAs and 21 movies. Like always, we haven’t followed any specific pattern except for gathering all kinds of info from ANN, MAL, Animesuki and Moonphase to get a comprehensive list of titles releasing this Winter. Big thanks goes to Ness and Fosh, who helped me with the post design and draft respectively. Of course, the whole team has pitched in with their thoughts so you are in good hands! Before I jump start the major roundup of Studios and Seiyuu, check out the third version of season’s lineup chart by nelson☆彡~ |

POWUH: Meta Team and PreCure Mastah with 9203 comments
SUPER AMAZING HIGH FIVE BRO!!!
POWUH: Meta Team and Ringleader Extraordinaire~ with 6433 comments
Yes, it’s done! I could finally sleeeeeeeeeeeeeep! ;__;
POWUH: and LOLi Defender with 10998 comments
I’m on board with all of the romance series. I may be unpopular here, but I am really interested in Listen to Me Girls..
I think it might be a ‘pull the rug out from under you series’ Lotte actually did do that. It was a bit squicky until it got to be charming in it’s own way. Like Fosh, I’m going to be wary of bad tsundere jokes.
Ano Natsu looks and kinda feels like the spiritual successor of both Toradora and Ano Hana…so I’m not only on board, I’m setting my deck chair up and ordering the bubbly.
Kill Me Baby. Yes. Yes. And did I say, Yes?
POWUH: Meta Team and PreCure Mastah with 9203 comments
LOLLOL Yeaaaahhhh Lottes toy was good and not as sexual themed as most people feared…sure there were tons of loli-pantsu every 10 minutes ok maybe not every 10 mins….But hey! Whatever people be scared.
Toradora and Ana Hana and believe it or not…HoTD! I know shocking right?
Yep! I can’t wait to watch Kill Me Baby <3 It looks like Nichijou!
POWUH: and LOLi Defender with 10998 comments
Gonna show my numb numb here, but HoTD? I’m not getting the abbreviation. Numb numb.
POWUH: 1000-1099 and Pirate King with 1048 comments
Highschool of the Dead.
POWUH: and LOLi Defender with 10998 comments
Ah,that show just never got on my radar, beyond a few clips from AMV Hell. Rlly? ::checks anidb:: Oh, got it. OK. Now on me radar.
You know, Fosh, I wasn’t thinking Nichijou until you said it, now all I can see is Rock, Paper, Scissors, GUN!
POWUH: Lovely-pyon~ with 323 comments
WOOHOOO~ SO EXCITED~
This looks awesome. 😀
POWUH: Meta Team and PreCure Mastah with 9203 comments
Looks amazing! Can’t wait to see what everyone enjoys for Winter season.
POWUH: iLurker with 8 comments
As is becoming a tradition, the Metanorn season preview has inflated my watch list number(though not to the fall insanity level of 22 shows) to 15 from 9.
Great job Gals & Guys, thank you for the work each of you put in to this. You’re all awesome!
POWUH: 500-599 and The Trapolicious Treasurer with 599 comments
Thanks much. Glad we could help you with deciding on what you’ll be watching XD
POWUH: Meta Team and PreCure Mastah with 9203 comments
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! -thumbs up-
I know right? I always go ok…lets limit our personal lists shall we? WRONG! I end up with 15+ shows always xD
Thank you so much! We do it for our fans and fellow anime bloggers..
POWUH: iLurker with 18 comments
BERSERK MOVIEEE~ Oh how I’ve been waiting for it!
Q___Q
.hack has a theme song by KOKIA?! *w*
and anyway once again thanks for this informative post~
POWUH: 500-599 and The Trapolicious Treasurer with 599 comments
You’re welcome~! I still need to watch the series><; Then I'll be just as excited as you for the movie? :3
POWUH: iLurker with 18 comments
I didn’t watch the Tv series after watching the first episode. No Puck and not that good animation quality=NO.
But I’ve read and reread the manga 3 times already and it’s still just as awesome as reading it the first time.
The reason why I’ve been so exited about the movie is that it appears that they intent to stick closer to the manga than the TV series and generally the first episode really told me everything I needed to know not to keep on watching.
AND THERE WILL BE PUCK *_________________*
POWUH: Meta Team and PreCure Mastah with 9203 comments
.Hack for the win! That CGI movie actually looks amazing, can’t wait to check it out.
Welcome! I hope you find lots of shows to watch in Winter.
POWUH: and Vampire Lover with 11746 comments
Where did Fall go? That was incredibly quick to say the least. Well, let’s get started on Winter 2012.
Black Rock Shooter: I can’t believe we have to wait so long for Black Rock Shooter and I’m bummed that it’s only 8 episodes (Saw that on Anime News Network). That’s an irregular number for any series. What threw me off are the differences between the OVA and the series, like the artwork of the characters is not the same. Like Dead Master’s veil and glasses.
Senhime Zesshou Symphgear: This anime looks interesting. I always give a chance to anything that has supernatural in the genre. And since Aoi Yuki and Yuka Iguchi are part of the cast, it’s just another reason to check it out.
Nisemonogatari: Yes, Nisemonogatari is near!!! I’ve been itching to see what happens after Bakemonogatari which was badass. And this time, Koyomi’s sisters are taking the lead. At least it’ll help keep me occupied until the prequel movie Kizumonogatari comes along. And if I feel like it, I might put them in order and marathon the entire thing. LOL.
Another: The trailer alone had me creeped out even though there wasn’t much to show, not to mention the girl with the eye patch. Its genres are Mystery, Drama and Horror so I’m hoping that it will be exceptionally impressive though I’m not expecting it on Shiki’s level but would settle for Blood-C’s level.
High School DxD: Not sure what to expect so I’ll just wing it and see whether it deserves to watched or not.
Inu x Boku: Another supernatural anime, this time with a loli and a guy with two colored eyes? And he’s a fox demon? Maybe I’ll check it out. After all, first impressions are what counts.
Holy Knight OVA: Hmm… a vampire based OVA?! YES!!! Whew, I needed that because I was getting a severe backlash from vampire withdrawal and it wasn’t pretty. I’ll be eagerly awaiting this one. And hopefully, Kara, we’ll get a Bloody Cross adaption in the near future and for me, adaptions of Blood Parade and Mondlicht. And Overcooled, if you were interested in the vampire part and then you got scared by it, I think that’s a good thing. LOL. I see I’m not alone; there are few other vampire lovers here as well.
A pair of Rurouni Kenshin OVAs after so many years? What the hell took so long?! I was a little kid when it was playing on TV. I watched every episode I could.
POWUH: 500-599 and The Trapolicious Treasurer with 599 comments
I’m excited for the Kenshin OVAs. But this is just a remake from Misao’s perspective. I could have lived without any additions because of not expecting any. But stuff happens XD I’d totally buy the BluR releases if they were international.><
POWUH: and Vampire Lover with 11746 comments
A remake OVA? I hope they keep to the actual story and not screw it up or it defeats the purpose of having the OVA at all.
POWUH: Meta Team and Ringleader Extraordinaire~ with 6433 comments
New trailer inserted to post. Doesn’t look too bad.
POWUH: Meta Team and PreCure Mastah with 9203 comments
DAMN FALL! Why so short? Seriously….
BRS- Yeah….I am really bummed out about that whole 8 episodes…I swear the first two better not be a damn recap! But I know we will have some sort of “what you forgot” episode. Worst case we can hope for some hr episodes? or 30+
Symphgear- That series sounds interesting, right! I will watch cause <3 Index's VA Yuka Iguchi.
Nisemonogatari- YES YES AND YES! I loved all of the characters from Bakemongatari they are all amazing, I bet people are drooling to hear Hanakazawa again.
Another- PA works doing horror? Thank you! ALL MY MONEY, then again I have yet to see a horror anime do much. I guess if you said Mairai Nikki? Does that count as horror? Anyway looks great.
DxD- I will watch anyway cause I am currently watching Maken Ki, yes censored to all hell but not as bad as some shows out there.
Rurouni Kenshin OVAs yay!! I hope we get action xDD
POWUH: and Vampire Lover with 11746 comments
I wonder if this season will go as fast as Fall did.
BRS: I hope those 8 episodes will be worth it. With Hanazawa playing the lead, it might turn out good. I want to see BRS’s other enemies.
Nisemonogatari: Let’s see how Araragi’s sister will pan out as main characters. The cast is pretty much the same except there will be no Araragi or Senjougahara. Why?!!
Another: Since this is supposed to be horror, it better deliver because not all anime seem to do well in the horror category (Unless it’s Shiki or Hellsing). And yeah, Mirai Nikki is supposed to be horror as well and it’s doing a good job so far.
Most of the shows I’ve seen on the list, I’ve seen Yoko Hikasa’s name. She’s even playing the lead for High School DxD. I guess she wants to create her own virus. But most of all, I’m extremely pissed that season 2 of Kore Wa Zombie Desu Ka has been pushed to next season. *grinds teeth*. Hurry up, next season!!!
POWUH: Meta Team and Ringleader Extraordinaire~ with 6433 comments
For Nisemonogatari. There will be Araragi and Senjou in Nisemonogatari, even if they are not the main focus. We’ll be seeing them around.
And you know, BB, time flies~ Spring will be coming before you know it. :3
POWUH: Meta Team and Megane-chan with 3214 comments
An adaption of Bloody Cross would make my life. Seriously.
…I have a feeling that you’ll enjoy Holy Knight though XD.
POWUH: and Vampire Lover with 11746 comments
Yeah, having an adaption of Bloody Cross would have me grinning from ear to ear. I love it when Tsukimiya and Hinata are together and constantly trying to backstab each other for the book. For the record, they’d make a good couple if they weren’t trying to get one another killed. I love it when Tsukimiya is sucking blood from her victims, especially the way she did it to Hinata: By a bloody kiss. LOL.
For other good vampire manga out there, I strongly recommend the recent chapters of Dance in the Vampire Bund, Blood Parade, Mondlicht and Yougen no Chi.
I really hope Holy Knight will be great and I hope the mixed blood vampire girl bites a lot of people. The key part I really love is when they get a grip on their prey and bites them. In my opinion, the female vamps I’ve seen who have bitten a large number of people (or demons) would be Tsukimiya, Sunako, Karin and Mina Tepes.
POWUH: Meta Team and The Mad Scientist with 5525 comments
Oh man, I’m just getting a first look at the graphics Ness made for this list. AMAZINGGGGG. Is it bad taste to praise our own site’s season preview? Oh well….
I hope the next season is good, even if I don’t pick up anything new to blog. :3
POWUH: 500-599 and The Trapolicious Treasurer with 599 comments
Thanks OC~!
I hope so too for the next season and that I have more time XD
POWUH: Meta Team and PreCure Mastah with 9203 comments
OC FOR GRAPHICAL PRESIDENT! Make it happen.
Tag teams for everyone! That tag team poster is going to get lots of shows complete…they are so cheating! xDD
POWUH: 400-499 with 428 comments
Argh, so much to watch!!! Well, there it goes, my summer holidays just disappeared…:D Good work to the Awesome team of Metanorn!
POWUH: 500-599 and The Trapolicious Treasurer with 599 comments
Thanks!
So your summer is during the Winter anime season?
POWUH: Meta Team and PreCure Mastah with 9203 comments
GO TEAM META! -dramatic high five-
POWUH: 800-899 and Flying Sage with 856 comments
Well done, guys. I definitely learned a few things.
POWUH: 500-599 and The Trapolicious Treasurer with 599 comments
Thanks~! XD Glad this was helpful to you.
POWUH: Meta Team and PreCure Mastah with 9203 comments
Glad to be of service, enjoy your fresh winter anime!
POWUH: Metanorn Lover with 207 comments
Wow can’t believe this post is up already! Great job again Metanorn team ^_^. But anyway, wow lotta shows for Winter, my picks are…
Black Rock Shooter: Ahhh the OVA was kind of mehhish in my opnion. Such beatuiful animation, but I expected more DX. Though I think its still gonna be interesting to watch though. So still on my watch list.
Amagami SS: AMAGAMI SS AGAIN??? I remeber reading the blogs with Hato-Kun. Wow can’t believe it got a 2nd season. Though it was an interesting to watch throughout. It wasn’t really a bad show for its type of genre, just usually think shows like that don’t get 2nd seasons. Though I’m pretty sure I’m wrong lol.
Nisemonogatari: Another Bakemonogatari stroy???? OMG SHAFT IS BACK IN ACTION. Though I don’t mind the focus on the Koyomi sisters, I hope we can see some of the other characters from before too. (I <3 Sejougahara)
Another: Horror, Supernatural…YES, YES, YES!!!!!! 8D
New Prince of Tennis: It was my first anime about sports. My god I miss this show….Bring back Seigaku 8D
Gyo: Junji Ito? The author who wrote Tomie and Uzumaki? I. AM. JUMPING. ONTO. THE. BANDWAGON. NOW.
I swear I thought I saw Kana Hanazawa like 3 times on the first page lol. Nice to know that she's still spreading her virus around xD
POWUH: Meta Team and PreCure Mastah with 9203 comments
We are fast! Hooray!
BRS- Yep yep and yep! 8 episodes is sadness and suffering thou….lame but I will watch anyway.
More Amagami SS! Yep yep can we get more Nishishishi oh god yes I will make it my new ringtone.
DAMN THAT HANAZAWA VIRUS! Hopefully we all got our shots..
POWUH: iLurker with 4 comments
I could swear that the guys who created High School Dxd tried to copy S-Cry-ed powers. The hand that the main character got is a total rip off of Kazuma’s shell bullet lv2 arm.
POWUH: Meta Team and PreCure Mastah with 9203 comments
Well there is a girl just like that in Maken-ki! Gloved weapon of awesome, it totally adds 20% to her boob-jiggle.
POWUH: iLurker with 4 comments
hey did anyone take notice that Coppelion still hasn’t aired when it was supposed to air months ago. Whats with the hold up?
POWUH: Meta Team and Ringleader Extraordinaire~ with 6433 comments
When we reviewed it last season, there was no info on producers, crew or even seiyuu cast so I think it has been shelved. We’ll update you whenever we hear about it. :3
POWUH: Meta Team and PreCure Mastah with 9203 comments
That series has flown under the radar, I haven’t seen a lot of DL links or any comments on it…seems like it failed before it got off the ground.
POWUH: 600-699 and Romance Expert with 652 comments
*once again, reserving this spot for my comment sooner or later*
POWUH: 600-699 and Romance Expert with 652 comments
likely to watch:
black rock shooter – needs more rockshooterXgoldsaw. seriously, those two scream more to me than pairing her with dead master.
amagami SS+ – well I watched some arcs including the extra 2 girls. romance here is actually good, I just didnt have time for the other girls 🙁
nisemonogatari – finally SHAFT is animating again next season. a sequel of bakemonogatari to boot. its one of their greatest hit, along with madoka magica.
another – you guys convinced me. seems like it will be interesting.
might check out:
symphgear – *shrug* hoping for yuri and have a feeling on this…
rinne no lagrange – as you said, this one seems to be simple yet it can become better. definitely better than GC at least. potential for yuri too.
papa no lukoto wo kikinasai – dont judge me! anyway, the mom is called yuri so…
milky holmes – maybe if I saw 1st season. even Arudoc says this one was good(or was it jinx?). plus yuri I guess…
anyway, list will change depending on Divine’s preview(if he does make one this year).
POWUH: 600-699 and Romance Expert with 652 comments
oh and I just realized that
mostall of the ones I put in the tentative list have the reason of “yuri” as the interest…and I’ll post tomorrow about the OVAs and specials. maybe.
POWUH: and Vampire Lover with 11746 comments
Thanks for the motivation. If there’s any hint of yuri in any of the anime you mentioned, I’m sticking to it. There definitely needs to more yuri shows around. Girls trading spit and the possibility of them shamelessly getting it on is a plus anytime.
POWUH: Meta Team and PreCure Mastah with 9203 comments

ahahaha of course Fosh ^^ I’m just playing around and as if I could ever leave Metanorn behind. This is where it all started for me :3

You know Fosh, several years ago, when Firefly first came on, my group of friends were able to divide people into “That that love Firefly and are therefor cool, and decent, and honest, and caring, and just generally all around awesome” and “Those that hate Firefly, and are not cool, and have unkempt hair, and spinach in their teeth, and are keepers of other odious habits, and not at all awesome.”
Same thing with K-On. You need no more a litmus test for people than the Moe Wonderful that is Yui. And Captain Malcolm Reynolds.

The only show I’m actually excited for is Another I think this will be the only show I’ll be following from the winter season, if I will have time for it. I love the art and music is also pretty interesting. We’ll see, we’ll see. Aside from that, Danshi koukousei no nichijou (can you imagine a bolder name? xD) looks really funny and positive. I don’t think this wil be another Kimi to Boku, but nice enough for the laughs. XD

Another for the freaking win! Can not wait to see how scary things will actually get..
Danshi looks absolutely hilarious have you seen the preview specials? Those are to die for…like the dress one and the RPG scene. Yeah that will not be another Kimi to Boku! This is like the perv cousin of boku xD

To get things summarised, the anime I’m listing for Winter is everything except Senhime (not my style of music), prince of tennis and area no kishi (no fan of sports), high school dxd (too much boobage for the year).
The series I will be looking forward is definitely Black Rock Shooter. Other than that will be Nisemonogatari and Another. FYI I started immediately to marathon Aquarion to prepare for the next season.

Enjoy some DxD! I will check it out…
Yeah BRS, Nisemonogatari and Another all look really good, have a fun time with Aquarion! I love the OP and music throughout that series.

i am so excite about berserk: it is possibly the first manga to make me realize my interest in manga and anime weren’t just a passing phase. its basically everything i look for in a manga.
also, why y’all hatin’ on denpa onna? i thought that show was brilliant. :[ but thats just me.
anyways, the site looks so polished now i want to lick it. good work guys. :3
POWUH: Meta Team and PreCure Mastah with 9203 comments
I dunno Denpa as a great idea and theme, but ah well things are just failure after the 4th or 5th episode…I want to see the final episode just to see if they close any loose ends.
Ahahaha clean your monitor afterwards 😛

I read till the end! (Though not every single word, sorry!) Anyway, my picks for Winter are:
1)The Daily Lives of High School Boys- DAT PREVIEW
2)Another- DAT ART.
3)Rinne no Lagrange- DAT CGI.
4)Amagami SS Plus- DA…THEM GIRLS.
5)Inu to Boku SS- DAT STORY
6)Nisemonogatari- DAT BAKEMONOGATARI (which I still have yet to finish)
I might check on Aquarion if I have some time left. Again, thanks for the summaries, comments and the handy chart guys!
POWUH: Meta Team and PreCure Mastah with 9203 comments
Highschool boys! BEST PREVIEWS OF ALL TIME! I always laugh so hard..and they are just 5 mins long.
Another- Yes please! PA WORKS good stuff right there.
Lagrange- Good CGI and character designs.
DO IT! Aquarion is good fun xD
