It is that time of year again. Time for the Winter 2013 season of anime.To make people's opinions easier to read, Like last season, there will be a master chart of each person's point of view up in the op, so if you can, please mark your opinion of a series as Good, Bad, or Neutral/Wait (as in wait to see what happens later before judging). I will try my best to keep it updated, but knowing me, I will get behind. If some other forum moderator can keep it updated, I will be very happy.

Yay these charts were useful to me it was good getting to check out the public's opinion of the anime before watching it yourself.
Anyway since I did it last time I thought I may as well do it again :p

Explain how it's an 'easier response'?

After each show airs individually all of them will be listed in the main post regardless...

I am gonna mostly watch boku wa tomodachi ga sukunai next

Will watch:

- Vividred Operation
- Mangirl!

Refuse to watch:

- Senran Kagura
- Ishida to Asakura
- Bakumatsu Gijinden Roman
- Beast Saga

And neutral for the rest of the anime.

Edit:
-Added 2 new anime to the list

This chart is still somewhat useful. If you forgot the series name you could always check it up there or like you see the chart and find out the shows that you think will definitely be good/neutral/bad. Though I will admit it will be kinda useless after a few weeks . So sorry.

Refuse to watch:

But... Like your earlier response you listed the shows that you will watch and refuse to watch even means that you are in favor or against, even if the ones you will watch may be neutral you still did it even before the show airs. However the ones you refuse to watch will still be red. (though there may be a off chance will will watch it).

This chart allows you to pick shows you refuse or support before it airs. It should serve as a support for an "easier response" but you are correct in saying after the show is individually listed it is useless so its alright .

Certainly will watch:

• Minami ke Tadaima
  Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai NEXT
  Chihayafuru Second Season
  Maoyuu Maou Yuusha
  Ore no Kanojo to Osananajimi ga Shuraba Sugiru
  Puchimas!
  Tamako Market
  Vividred Operation
  Savanna Game
  Sasmi-san@Ganbaranai

Everything else will be based on how much time I have on my hands.

Yes! The Monogatari movies are finally out

And about this season's anime... From the looks of the descriptions, not a season I will enjoy.

Will watch:
Savanna Game
Ore no Kanojo to Osananajimi ga Shuraba Sugiru

The rest I'm really neutral about. Will probably pick them up if people say they're good.

I certainly hope that Minami ke makes a comeback from its second and third season

Just a few notes:
I won't put any shows in the main post until it airs somewhere (pre-air is fine)
I am still deciding whether or not to include the weird continuations of series (A-side, Girls und Panzer???? xD)
I am not going to put the chart in the first post since that would confuse people about what actually aired.

Now, to my votes. (Excuse my casual tone)

AKB0048 Next Stage:
(Going off web-rip) 3 songs fully animated with singing, dancing, and bullets plus all the same humor and personalities as last season. Add in a very impressive episode 1 budget, and you get an amazing episode 1 in.

Boku no Imouto wa Osaka Okan:
Wondering how to properly name things was not my cup of tea. I could barely laugh throughout the episode. More often than not, I had a ? floating in my mind. Dropped.

Well, I am super-hyped for this season with both AKB0048 and Love Live airing this season. I will have no shortage in songs I want to map and shows I will be dedicated too (2 shows that I will enjoy every week, for sure, is basically better than any season I had in a while).

The ones I've stated are either because I know what the series will be like from reading the prior source or they just generally disinterest me regardless.
I will be updating my post when each show comes out to include a one line response like last time.

Looking forward to watch Ore no Kanojo to Osananajimi ga Shuraba Sugiru.
Already read the manga.

Mangirl, maybe.

I will probably end up watching a lot of the airing stuff, but I will defintiely be watching:

1. Chihayafuru season 2
2. Amnesia
3. Savanna Game
4. Oreshura (fuck remembering that whole name)
5. Bakumatsu Gijinden Roman
6. Sasami-san@Ganbaranai
7. Mondai-Ji-Tachi ga Isekai kara Kuru Sou Desu yo?
8. Cuticle Detective Inaba
9. Maoyuu Maou Yuusha
10. Yama no Susume

Happy

Inferno Cop
I don't think there are words to describe how stupid these 2min felt. The animation is so horribly cheap but the ending was so ridiculous. I think I have to watch another ep.

Savanna Game certainly looks interesting.

Technically counts as a winter anime, so adding it in.

Saki: Achiga-hen - Episode of Side-A Specials:
Pretty much everything you got from the main season and then some. All of the yuri jokes and ridiculous mahjong xD. In addition, they seem to have a slightly larger budget with the grapes in the last scene having a decent animation... Oh well, the harvest is ready, so time to reap what was sown.

Will watch:

• - Maoyuu Maou Yuusha
  - Bakumatsu Gijinden Roman
  - Courtesy of Zettai Karen Childreen - The Unlimited
  - Sasami-san@Ganbaranai
  - Cuticle Detective Inaba
  - Savanna Game
  - Amnesia
  - Another Shoujo that I hadn't noticed.

I was really happy
D.C. III <3

Guess I should bump this thread

Maoyuu Maou Yuusha:
Dark Flame Master became a Hero!!! Well here we are with yet another popular light novel. This one has been adapted to many different manga (including a 4-koma that should have been animated xD), so you probably know the plot. If you don't, basically the entire story is based on war economics with a bit of humor scattered here and there. For me, it was amusing to watch, but their animation budget is so small. Ugly textures + random bad CG + cut out backgrounds...gah. Oh well, if you can look over the horrible animation, you'll probably enjoy the show.

I'll update with the 3min long shows later... (most of them aren't that great imo)

looking forward for Haiyore! Nyaruko-san Season 2 this january 15. *wiki said.

Needs more panzer

Yeah animation because the producer is "Trigger" and:

Their first work lol

Updated the initial post. Will post a few of the reasons below (quite sleepy so my writing will be of questionable quality)

Zettai Karen Children: THE UNLIMITED - Hyoubu Kyousuke:
Zettai Karen Children spinoff.. haven't seen one of these for a while (not to my memory). Oh well, as a fair warning, please at least know a bit about the universe before watching this because it helps to know who the characters are since they don't really introduce them or how psychic powers work. Beyond that, the show itself was okay. The animation were usually passable, but they cheaped out on explosions and other areas. Teh rest of the art was passable, nothing too special. The only problem I had was that I found it hard to be engaged in the show. It has been a while since I read the series, so I am still a little unfamiliar with the characters, but Hyoubu did not troll enough in the episode to make it entertaining. Oh well, I am willing to give the show another chance.

Love Live!
It was basically everything I wanted of the series, cheesy plot, trolls, a straight person to be trolled, new songs, and plenty of money being spent on dancing animation. The only thing I have to complain about is how the op and ed sounds worst than their normal singles. Oh well, Maki's piano cover of 愛してるばんざーい！was great.

Maoyuu Maou Yuusha
Started reading the manga just 2 days ago and then an animated episode of it yesterday lol, really neat nevertheless, lovely characters and setting + perspectives are really nice

Ore no Kanojo to Osananajimi ga Shuraba Sugiru
Not sure, looks like standard-harem but the heroine proved to be quite different from what I've ever read/seen. Could turn out top or flop, let's see (dun like osananamiji-heroine tho)

Da Capo III

Maoyuu Maou Yuusha
Seems cool, interested to see where this anime goes.

Senran Kagura
Yay boobs! Didn't get bored or thought this was utterly stupid. Was a lot better what I expected from a anime which was based on a game which main point was 3D boobs on 3DS.

Ore no Kanojo to Osananajimi ga Shuraba Sugiru
Was watchable, will watch a few more episodes too se if this gets interesting.

Bakumatsu Gijinden Roman
Pretty fun anime to watch, it's from the same creator as Lupin III and you can instantly see that from characters. Pretty much the same setting too.

Cuticle Detective Inaba
Wasn't that bad but don't feel like watching anymore of this.

Da Capo 3

It was good, I felt totally calm while watching. The characters are charismatic (loved Charles) and the story is good. Looking foward this.

Minami-ke Tadaima

I felt no difference from other seasons, except that the animation has improved, and the songs of op ed and changed. Until the op is pretty cool.

Ore no Kanojo to Osananajimi ga Shuraba Sugiru

Pretty funny looking foward this.

Hakkenden Touhou Hakken Ibun:
I really need to stop looking at action shoujo. Of the 2 I have seen, I have liked neither. Oh well. The anime has nice character designs....but that is about it. Action screens were boring. Very few jokes. Plot seemed fairly generic and dry with very little drama. Overall, a fairly boring watch imo.

Da Capo III
They had so many chances to use more harem humor, but they didn't use them. There are time where I think this might be fun to watch, but I am pretty sure I won't get the humor I want. Oh well, the rest of the show is typical harem stuff. Lots of budget on fanservice while creating an unintersting plot line. Oh well. I will give this show one more chance to impress me before tossing it aside.

Maoyuu Maou Yuusha
Economics, demons and bouncing PLOTS. What isn't to love?

Senran Kagura
More PLOTS, less economics. Not really feeling it.

Love Live!
Idols doing idol things. It's okay.

Cuticle Detective Inaba
Meh.


I'll get around to other things eventually.

Edit: I got around to it.
Watched a few more series.

Sasami-san@Ganbarnai
Oh man, I have no idea what this anime is about but I'm loving it. So far my favourite anime of the season <3

Because SHAFT <3

Kotoura-san
wtffffffffffff watch it, i mean, fo real
There is one weird thing about it though, she can actually just shut up when she reads sb's mind D:

Sasami-san@Ganbaranai
Lol'd

Inferno Cop
INFUURRRRRNO CUP!
My favourite of the season so far. I'm serious, and each episode doesn't even last longer than 3 minutes. Absolutely nothing can go wrong.
THE ED IS IN GERMAN

Boku no Imouto wa Osaka Okan
Watching it for that accent

Kotoura-san
Wow, this one really surprised me. First half of the episode was really well done, it got me feeling sad for an MC for once. Second half also did great at making the viewer ease up with it's humor, and the male lead is likeable too.

Vividred Operation
I'm... not sure what to say about this one. It had it's moments, but some parts made me go "wat" too. But, I must say the loli asses in this are absolutely marvelous.

GJ-bu
I liked it.

Oreshura
Disregard bitches, acquire academics.
Time for color wars! If it gets better I might give this a green. Orange is the greatest

Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai NEXT
Delicious Meat. Pegasus was great in this episode

The ending is supposed to be german? Couldn't figure it out at all lol
(Same with the Guilty Crown OSTs = =')

+ just noticed that the adventure-seiyuu-duo of Koshimizu Ami & Fukuyama is back in Maoyuu (both one of my favorite VAs and together probably the best combination for main chars)

edit:
Love Live! School Idol Project
I have no idea why I enjoyed watching this. This is nowhere near my standards but I still got goosebumps (wtf?) when they started singing. But well yeah, maybe my interest will decrease throughout this series, but for now I can't decline my enjoyment for this, can I ? ...

Senran Kagura:
Even with the ridiculous amount of fanservice and pointlessness, I found this somewhat funny at times (for reasons that I don't understand), so I think I'll give this another ep.

Senyu:
Low budget, but it does a lot of rapidfire jokes about rpgs and killing kings. It feels amazingly stupid at times, but it is enjoyable....

Vividred Operation:
Don't want to rate this before seeing an action scene, but the few action scenes so far seem worse than the typical strike witches scenes. However the characters are enjoyable to watch, so I will give this another round.

Boku Ha Tomodachi Ga Sukunai NEXT
I am glad that AIC Build kept up the amazing animation quality they had in first season. If you watched first season, expect more of the same type of jokes as they progress further along the chapters of the light novel. If you are new to the series, this is a series about trolling the pretty girl all day long...the end. (The show is very episodic, so there is no problem with starting on 2nd season)

GJ-bu:
A bunch of rapidfire jokes with a very relaxed setting. It feels a lot like Seizon at times (pointless clubs, shooting out jokes in a clubroom).

Ore no Kanojo to Osananajimi ga Shurabasugiru:
I probably watch too many shonen romcoms, but the 2nd episode, despite being incredibly stupid at times, was amusing. As a result, I'll promote my rating for this show.

Kotoura-san
I definitely watch too many romcoms....Besides the excessive close ups and lackluster art style, there is very little to complain about in the show. The beginning of the show set up the plot and drama amazingly, but the second half of the show flipped the tables around to show that this show is capable of humor and romance as well. If this is executed right, this show can be quite amazing.

Mondaiji-tachi ga Isekai kara Kuru Sou Desu yo?
Wow, this thing was amazing. Badass lead and great humor. Art could be better, but this lead could really go a long way.

Yama no Susume
Even though it is a low budget short, it is cute and some what funny (either that or I have gone crazy xD)

Sasami-san@Ganbarnai
I really wanted to laugh when watching the show, but I couldn't find it funny enough to actually laugh. It was extremely trippy, but that is really all I felt. The action scenes were okay at first, but they quickly faded to boring low budget scenes.....In short, I felt quite bored, but I am willing to give this one more chance.

Zettai Karen Children THE UNLIMITED - Hyoubu Kyousuke
I have no idea why, but the 2nd episode impressed me far more than the first. Action scenes were nicer. A few more things were explained, and the atmosphere sort of drew you in.

I'll update the thread soon....

Tamako Market
Why isn't this in the list yet? This anime is like somekind of overdose of cute stuff... I feel like I lose manlyness when watching this but god I looovee it.

Sasami-san@Ganbaranai
I have no clue what this is going to be.. seriously what did I just watch?.. I really liked the art style of the space around Sasami-san though, it felt very refreshing. I will keep watching this series for now, but I'm not even sure if it's gonna be good or not, or if it's gonna be anything..

I wish I had more time to watch the new anime, kinda came here to look for what was worth watching this season but why not share my little bit of experience.

Edit:
Inferno Cop
God I almost forgot Inferno Cop. Back when episode 1 got release I thought it was just a shot joke video, but they're making a complete series of it? My longs are going to have a rough time every time I watch an episode twice. This is simply amazing stuff.
