It is that time of year again.

Like last time, everything will be on google docs, so if you want your opinion to show, please post there. I will try to update this thread with updates on the spreadsheets, but no guarantees on when I will do it. Beyond that, everything else is the same. Feel free to post your opinions on the upcoming season.

Google Spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc ... sp=sharing



Edit: I switched to a new chart format that should be easier to read and maintain (well besides google docs not supporting rotated text), please tell me what you think. If it is disliked, I will switch back to the old format. For those that are nice enough to add their names to the list, the list is on the second spreadsheet.

Also, if there are any mistakes in the chart, please fix it yourself. It is tiring and annoying for me to enter all of them myself, so I will probably make mistakes. However, I rather have everyone enter in their own values and updates, and since it is so easy, I am only going to blame you if the issue is not fixed.

Inu to Hasami wa Tsukaiyou: Another romcom involving a sadist, yay, another MM!.... Seriously, I wasn't expecting much from this show, and the first episode didn't really change my expectations. The first part of the ep is just setting and prologue stuff introducing the character and his harem. It is all pretty dry imo. Afterward, they finally introduce the main female lead and start some somewhat amusing sadistic humor (what did you expect to come?), and finally the show ends with some more dry plot. As you heard me mention, the plot seems pretty boring and there is not much humor, but I am willing to give this show another shot because it had above average animation budget. They actually included a fair amount of details in their drawings, but what will they do with these drawings, I have no clue.

Senyuu S2: Basically as ridiculous and as low budget as last season. Personally, I am getting slightly tired of it, but it is really short.... I will decide whether or not to finish it later.

Gifuu Doudou!!: Kanetsugu to Keiji: Gah, the character sprites are so ugly and low budget that I had to drop the show before I could finish the first ep. All I can say is the plot line looks rather slow and boring.

I'll have to keep tabs on this thread, similar to your last one blissfulyoshi.
Always looking for anime within the genres I like. =)
Great idea with the spreadsheet, by the way.

Free!: It is the bishonen show some ppl have been waiting too long for xD. Well, I won't say it disappoints, kyonai animation combined with fairly typical sport series plot. Add in way too many jokes about the mc stripping, and you have Free!. Since I enjoyed Kuroko a fair bit, I guess it won't hurt for me to watch a few eps here.

As a small note, due to my past experience with Tamayura, I am not going to bother checking out this season's showing of Tamayura

Inu to Hasami wa Tsukaiyou
Watchable but wasn't particularly funny nor interesting.

Gifuu Doudou!!: Kanetsugu to Keiji
Boring and cheap looking. Wasn't able to finish the first episode either.

Free!
Another bishounen anime. I excpected this to be more "gay" so I could put my manliness on the test but it dissapointed me. And since since the plot isn't that interesting, I prolly won't watch another episode of this series.

Free!: Oh dear, this I particularly like. I'm new to the whole sport genre (as well as the bishounen) but I'm enjoying it. The style is pretty visually satisfying, and although I only watched one episode, I want to see more and look forward to the following episodes. A lot of stripping for one episode though. (the ending PV was weird but really catchy)

Gifuu Doudou!!: Kanetsugu to Keiji: Yes, this is pretty bad. Very cheap looking and I can't find myself getting into it in any way.

Inu to Hasami wa Tsukaiyou: It was alright. Nothing I haven't seen before, so nothing I find too exciting or entertaining. I might stick around for more.

Free!: everyone on tumblr was super hyped up about this since the commercial aired a few months ago. i wasn't all that excited, but i still wanted to give it a try. i wasn't too disappointed! the characters are likable, and the animation is amazing. a few things i'd mark down though are the body proportions and right now the plot is a little dull. i'd like to see how it turns out, though.

Dangan Ronpa: The Animation: (am i allowed to add anime?) seeing as dangan ronpa is one of my main fandoms, i was really excited for this. it only came out a few hours ago so i watched the raw episode, but i really liked it! the voice actors are true to the game as far as i could tell, and so far the story is the same, too. i like the art style, but i sort of wish they had stuck a little closer to the art of the game. i'm really looking forward to seeing more, and i'm wondering if the deaths will be the same as in the game?

Will be adding more impressions as I actually watch more stuff. I'm watching off of a simulcast schedule so we'll see how things go.

Inu to Hasami wa Tsukaiyou - This is a major trainwreck. It's got everything I dislike about light novels/LN adaptations (characters only being describable by the fetishistic trope they represent, horrible writing, plot exposed purely through narration, milquetoast lead given an anoying gimmick) and horrible animation. I can't look away, but dear lord, this was horrible.

Free! - Iwatobi Swim Club - Of course I enjoy this. It's gorgeous despite body proportions and it's campy as hell. Is it dumb? Yes. Is the plot lacking? Yes. However, it's about time we have another show besides Ouran High School Host Club that panders to people with this sort of interest while still having an animation budget.

Servant x Service - Don't let the blue fool you, as I do like this first episode. However, I'm thinking that this will end up just like Working! and end up being cute but insubstantial with repeated jokes galore. The animation is not very good and the cinematography is not very interesting. However, the episode itself never really feels mundane, having some chuckle-worthy jokes thrown in there, and it's all pretty cute when it comes down to it. It'll probably not be something I'll marathon, but it's something I'll probably enjoy once a week.

blissfulyoshi: Could you edit the Google Doc so that it's not just View Only for us? :3

Just got back, so watching new anime soon, but let me answer the few questions.

@Mogs: Made gdoc public to everyone, so I hope that is fine.

@momp: You are free to add whatever you want (obv it should air this season), but as expected, I am not at the computer 24/7 so I can't always be the first to watch a series xD (Just pls try to keep things in alphabetical order)

Edit:
Here are my reviews:

Rozen Maiden 2013: I highly recommend that anyone who watches this, does not judge the plotline of the first ep. As you can read on many anime forums, this is a recap episode that cover the first 7 volumes of manga. In no way, should you consider this to be the actual pace of the show. What they are doing right now is refreshing the general facts of the manga before you start the next arc in the story, so if you really care about the series, read up all on it, otherwise, the plot might be difficult to get.

What I can say about the series, it is full of nostalgia. Ali Project was nice enough to make the song's intro sounds almost exactly like the original 2 (traumend was the one with a slightly difference sounding one, right?). Of course, the familiar characters added onto the nostalgia. On the art side, the perspectives used are really interesting and many scenes are fluid and full of movement (big shoutout to an amazing op animation). However, the backgrounds remind me of Maoyuu (slightly better than that luckily), but I am a little worried. As said, I can barely judge with such a strange rushed recap, so I am going to wait till the main plotline starts before saying anything

Kitakubu Katsudou Kiroku: Low budget, random school comedy. Need I say more. I enjoy how random it is, but I can't say much else.

Senki Zesshou Symphogear G: That went way beyond my expectations. That first ep was amazing. High budget fight scene combined with a great duet between Nana and Yoko Hikasa. Basically it was everything that first season delivered on, just done better (they even brought back the bleeding eyes xD). The only thing that has yet to change is the all the vague mythological references they use. The storyline might turn out bad, but if they keep delivering on the animation and songs like they do, I won't even care.

Servant x Service: Anther low budget comedy series. It was slightly better than KKK, but that is not saying much. As Mogs also stated, the show is very prone to reapeat the same jokes, in fact they repeated multiple jokes throughout the first episode....I hope this doesn't get boring fast, but it might happen.

Dangan Ronpa: The Animation: Back to the survival game genre. However, the show doesn't really stand out in any way right now. Besides the higher than average (well higher than some of the other things I watched) budget for animation and somewhat psychodelic feel, the show had a fairly cliche start, a cast that fell in line with their trope, and not much else. In addition, the jokes were more predictable and not as amusing as some of the other shows this season. Oh well, I can't call the show bad, in fact it is still probably better than most things I watched so far, but I want it to wow me in some way before I commit

c^3-bu: I laughed a bit at this show, but srsly the show is so low budget that it doesn't do anything justice. I guess it is just people riding off the girls und panzer craze

Dangan Ronpa: The Animation : I can't help it but I'm already loving it! The animation is very nice and the voices fit the characters extremely well. For having played the VN of it, I have high expectations that the anime can at least for the most part keep itself to the VN. Even tho the animation isn't exactly like the design from the VN, like I said, the animation is still nice.

Rozen Maiden (2013) : I love the original of the anime, so maybe I am being bias toward this one. I remember watching the original back in....2006 I think? I've read the manga for it too. For anyone who wants to watch the 2013 series, watch the original or read the manga to catch up to the story. I was very happy to see that Ali Project did the intro, since they had done it for the other series' too. I hit an extreme nostalgia point with seeing all of the characters appear again. For the start of it, it was good, but it still could have been a bit better. I still do hope this anime will be what I am hoping it can be, but I'm not getting my expectations too high yet.

Free! : swimming anime. Everyone has been super hyped about. I gave it a go just because me and some friends are going to casually watch it. I'm not really a BL person tho.....it wasn't bad, it's just not my type.

Senki Zesshou Symphogear G: unpredicted, always ready for battle XD

Dangan Ronpa: seems like judge, not even want drop it XD


Free! : First time watching swimming anime XD cant wait


Gifuu Doudou!! : seems funny gonna wait till 5 eps to consider drop it

Danganronpa: The only summer season anime that piqued my interest. Story has a lot of potential, so I'll give it a shot despite absolutely hating the art style and character designs. Although honestly, at the moment I just want to see all of the characters dead.

Free! - I literally just watched this because of all that hype regarding this (I'm not the type to usually watch this genre). Apart from the usual smooth animations by KyoAni, I was shocked that there was actual story in here and not just fanservice for the girls (sure there were fanservice moments too). What hit me the most though was the soundtrack of the show. Appropriate music was played in the scenes (e.g. that scene with the dubstep music). Pretty good for a first episode.

Also, I want to watch Danganronpa so bad, but I want to play the game first ;_;

Monogatari Series: Second Season : Can this be added now that it aired? In general I love the Monogatari series. But for anyone who wants to watch this, then you need to watch the other 3 before you try this. It still had the same feel as the rest of the series did, so that was quite enjoyable. Some people may think it started out too fast, but I don't really think it did since it's suppose to be a continuation of the previous series. It was defenately very good to start out with, and I hope it continues to stay like it.

Love Lab: a very funny anime! i love the art style and the characters seem very likable. it's kind of like what happens when you mix cool, wild girl with lovely, hard-working girl. also, yuri.

I was busy all of yesterday and the first half of today, so I just started to watch anime, which meant I have about 10 series to catch up on. I will update the large chart after I watch everything, but I highly encourage all of you to add new shows (alphabetical order would be nice), and add your votes.

Note: If I have a lot of time and motivation, I will change the format of the chart to make it easier for all of us to update

Love Lab: For a low budget comedy show, the jokes were quite amusing. Basically low quality animation with rapid fire jokes about love and lack of common sense. Not much else to say, but try an ep

High School DxD New: Beware: Lots of fanservice ahead! Well welcome to the next season of High School DxD which will probably cover volume 3 and 4 of the light novel. As you might expect, there is a lot of fanservice in the show, in fact almost every perverted thing in the novel is shown in this episode... Beyond that, everything happened as it should, plot was fairly accurate and done well, and animation wasn't too bad (though tehre wasn't much to show off besides fanservice). Freud had his crazy speeches again, but as stated earlier, this first episode really didn't have much to show. Still, since I am bias toward the show, I'll give it a green regardless of the current location in the plot since everything else seems fine. Okay I'll be less biased and give this a blue.

Kiniro Mosaic: Where do I begin? We get bad CG, followed by some decent pics for 30s, and then the rest is just cheap animation. I have no idea what the art people were doing. Did someone get fired, or something get too hard to do... Afterward, we get lik 15-18min of awkward english humor. It was just too awkward for me to laugh. The only redeeming point is that some of the ending jokes were actuallly funny. Since this played out like an intro ep, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and try them again next week.

Blood Lad: This was underwhelming. I know the start of the comic is not that strong, but there was really nothing to entertain me in this show. The animation wasn't that great, the jokes weren't noteworthy, and I just stood there wondering when anything will happen.Since I know the manga is exactly like that, I might revisit this thing in the future, but for most people just read the manga, you'll have more fun than watching a lackluster animation

Fantasista Doll: This show has decent animation, and basically nothing else. It was really refreshing to see decent character sprites and semi-detailed backgrounds, but this show has like nothing going for it. A nonexistant plot, little/no jokes, and some terribly done action scenes. Seriously, mc's doll is losing, gets knocked down, stands up, says is going to finish this, swords starts glowing, and then she wins for no explainable reason other than a shining rapier that really didn't look that special. There were many other problems with the battle scenes, but in short, don't waste your time here.

Gen'ei o Kakeru Taiyou - Il Sole Penetra le Illusioni: Super depressed people turning into monsters and causing issues. Your temporary sister? has issues with your personality and tries to strangle you. Cliche plots getting overdramatized, count me in. Really wish the character sprites and fighting scenes looked better, but I am okay with this.

Uchouten Kazoku: What was PA Works thinking? This comedy show is a fairly blatant showing of how PA Works struggles with the genre. Jokes that lacked tension, interesting characters that can't get you entranced in their actions, and more. Combined with a lower budget art style that blurred many colors together, this show can easily put me to sleep.

Ro-Kyu-Bu SS: It has Ogura Yui in it. Done.... Oh yeah, they improperly use the word halation.... whatever. Same as first season bascially, so watch if you want.

Genshiken Nidaime: What is the point of watching the anime if you are going to be panning stills all day long....Well another low budget show that barely made me laugh. Probably better to just read the manga....

Kami nomi zo Shiru Sekai: Megami-hen: It seems like the animation quality increased a bit from last season, but wasn't as entertaining. Maybe because I know the plot already, but not really feeling it. (then again I didn't like the previous seasons) Oh well, I'll hang around for another ep.

Teekyu 2: I don't recall watching season 1, but a super fast paced low budget comedy series where I can barely tell what is going on is not my definition of fun. Dropped.

Makai Ouji - Devils and Realist: Lets see, badly orchestrated battle scenes + typical plot + low budget... another drop.

Watashi ga Motenai no wa Dou Kangaetemo Omaera ga Warui!: Yay, Silver Link with their bizarre artistic takes....at least for the op. Overall, I think Silver Link did a decent job with the super low budget they gave the show. However, I am not a big fan of the series because some of those jokes are cringe worthy....

JUST GONNA STAY STUFF ABOUT FREE BECAUSE HYPE TRAIN YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Free! - I'm surprised this actually had plot, like holy shit. The animation was great as expected, and the fact that they took note on the anatomy of a swimmer (Tall, long legs/chest, broad shoulders) and used it was impressive. Aside from how great it looked I had a great time watching it and I'm very eager for the next episode. All of the introduced characters were instantly likeable, and had unique personalities that tie in with each other. (aka a really nice dynamic) My only qualm was how hard I got trolled in the opening scene. I SWEAR IF THEY KEPT THOSE VOICES. They should have at least made the scene known it was a flashback, they looked like regular anime guys as kids. ;____: Spoiling that in case someone gets butthurt.

Other shows I have enjoyed so far:
Inu to Hasami wa Tsukaiyou
Makai Ouji - Devils and Realist

I ALSO WANNA WATCH DANGANRONPA BUT MR COLOR IS A SHIT.

Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya : It was just so adorable @.@ I know it's just a spinoff of the Fate Series, so I can't really hold the expectations as high for it. But for being a spinoff series, I found it to still be enjoyable. It didn't start off too slow or go too fast. But it might seem weird to someone if they haven't experienced the Fate Series in the past, I guess.

Also, for Free!, my name should be in the neutral category

Alright, assorted reactions.

Love Lab - Nothing original and not outright terrible, but geez, I've had it with this sort of concept. Stop buying this shit, guys. Mediocre animation, maybe a chuckle here and there, such a paint-by-numbers cast that I feel like I'm in grade school art class, and too much overly blatant yurishipping for my liking (I don't necessarily have a problem with it but not when the point of the show is to ship the characters; I have this problem with yaoishipping shows too). It's nothing special and it's my only one-episode drop this season.

Senki Zesshou Symphogear G - Not even hilariously bad like the last season sans some rather horrible CG. This show tries a bit too hard to seem dark and edgy at points when all it's around for is shameless image song promotion to try to keep a few musical careers going. This is major product placement and it's already even more obvious this time around.

Kiniro Mosaic - Okay, I'm going to sound like a hypocrite, but I do think this show is pretty cute! If anything else, I lit up constantly due to the bonding of the Shinobu and Alice in England alongside delicate music and watercolour backgrounds. There's cheap CG, hilariously terrible Engrish, and the backgrounds and character designs don't often feel like they mesh well together. However, if the show can be this calm and cute, I'll stick around. It's pretty standard stuff, but its charm is carrying it.

il sole penetra le illusioni ~ Day Break Illusion - SO close to red for me, but I'm willing to give it the benefit of the doubt this time around. It's got grimdark magical girl show written all over it, combining elements of Madoka, later Nanoha seasons, Black Rock Shooter, and every other grimdark magical girl show. It's trying way too hard to be edgy and the character designs remind me of a combination of Touhou, Sengoku Collection, and Itsuka Tenma no Kuro Usgai (NOT things I like to be reminded of). However, the episode is surprisingly watchable, and the animation and cinematography can be rather interesting at points (when it's not being pandery/skeevy). Being a major enthusiast of the spirituality/lore surrounding tarot will either help or hinder my reaction to this show, but I'm willing to give it the benefit of the doubt for now.

Uchouten Kazoku - "Eccentric" is the word to describe this series. P.A. Works is breaking out of their usual style to adapt a novel from the same writer as The Tatami Galaxy, and they maintain the same feeling, writing-wise. It is a style some might not like, but it's so bizarre but I absolutely adore it. The show itself doesn't have enough plot or reason to wholly care in the first episode, but piecing together the background and characters is part of the fun! It's a weird show, but if you're looking for something different this summer, check it out!

WataMote!: i can really relate to this anime, because my level of anxiety was almost as bad as tomoki's at one point. it's still pretty bad when it comes to talking to clerks in stores and such. but anyway, i'm really interested to see how this turns out. also, the opening is amazing.

Watamote: I enjoyed it. It doesn't really take itself seriously, and it's not meant to be taken seriously. I really really like Tomoko's VA. It fits her so perfectly... omg. I have heard people complain about it's lazy artwork, wildly drawn lines to make Tomoko's expression and eyes, but it really doesn't bother me, and I dunno why it should bother anyone. I guess i'm a bit biased over this since I loved the manga, but seeing Tomoko animated was just so cool, never thought i'd see it.

Kiniro Mosaic: Amazingly adorable. I think it was a bit awkward at times during the English speaking parts... oh my. It was just so weird, haha. I never really watched dubs in my life, so i'm not used to this. I don't think there's much to talk about, I don't see a point other than if you like cute adorable little girls being happy and stuff.

Gonna watch Prisma Illya, Neptunia, and Milky Holmes as well when I get time/they come out

Ro-Kyu-Bu SS: I enjoyed the first season, so I was looking forward to this. It is the same, but that doesn't mean I was disappointed.

WataMote: Another anime I've really been waiting for. I read the entire manga and so I was kind of excited to see the first episode. Tomoko was very charming and humourous, and I laughed a fair amount of times especially when she started playing her otome game and it was a little better than I expected. It was sort of fast paced, but I can't wait to see more.

C3-bu - I'm really torn on this one. I'm not fond of gun violence, not at all. So the gun fetish stuff doesn't really appeal to me in general (same reason why I couldn't get into Upotte! and Girls und Panzer, but Garupan is horrible as fuck). However, I found the survival game scene really fun to watch, animated and choreographed well, with an awesome jazzy soundtrack. Some of the stuff made me laugh beforehand but I REALLY hope the show focuses on survival games and doesn't turn into K-ON with guns.

Watamote - It's an interestingly-shot comedy that anybody with social anxiety can really relate to. Not much more to say besides for that.

Monogatari Season 2 - Loyal to the LN, and retains that style and animation that the previous series had. Can't expect more than that

Rozen Maiden - Holy plot change, and fast movement of plot. The preview also presents a lot of questions. I have no idea how this will go at all, but I will watch the next episode.

Free! - lol @ everyone saying this show is gay, it's good

Highschool DxD New - Yes more Rias, more Koneko and we also get Xenovia and Irina~. I might just reread volumes 3 and 4 of the LN as to see how they will animate it.

Ro-Kyu-Bu! SS - Oh~ more loliball~

Highschool DxD NEW - 90 % Fanservice , 10 % Epic Story & Plot for this season! Yaoi between Kiba and Iseei may be possible too LMAO. Ah also moar harem for Issei

Ro-Kyu-Bu SS - Another season for Sports Loli Anime \:D/

Blood-Lad - Hilarious

Haven't watched/ download the others. will post moar soon (maybe)

Sorry I haven't posted in a while. Here are the rest of my reviews. I'll focus on getting the chart up and running very soon.

Silver Spoon: I have no idea why I watched this. I disliked the manga, and even though anime has a decent budget, I can't apprecitate slightly dramatized farm life.

Gachaman Crowds: I don't think there is anything going for this show besides its name. Ugly characters, fairly boring action scenes and jokes I can't laugh at. Dropped.

Kamisama no Inai Nichiyoubi One of the better plot series this season. I should probably read the manga soon, but the characters seem to be unique, animation is passable, and there is a bit of humor and drama here and there. This could be good

Yami Shibai: Low budget horror is just weird to watch... Since horror is not for me, and the budget was extermely low, dropped.

Monogatari Series: Second Season: Well the monogatari series is back with more shafty black scenes, slide shows, fanservice. You all probably know what you are getting into, so won;'t say more.

Fate/kaleid liner Prisma☆Illya: Well we now know where silver link put all its money this season. Solid animation combined with good dose of humor. I think silver link might be set to making money this season (as long as they don't do anything stupid.....)

I think that is everything so far. I might have watched a show and not documented it.

Edit: New chart is up, please tell me what you think of the format

I love Free!, Kiniro Mosaic, Love Lab and Servant x Service the most.

Fate/illya - Don't really like the animation style because it's too "sparkly" for my tastes, but I guess it fits the concept of the show. I'm hoping that this will turn out great. The first episodes seems interesting enough.

Watamote - Seriously. This anime. This is a hyperbole of every single insecurity, introverted and socially awkward people experience. I can't say I haven't experienced any of those scenes so far (albeit to a lesser degree), and laughed at other parts, but at the same time I get all frustrated when watching some scenes. Probably its because of how they introduced the main character as an unlikable person, but *shrugs*

Watamote is actually a pretty accurate depiction of someone with crippling social anxiety. First-hand basis on this one at points when I was younger.

Silver Spoon- It's not bad. It needs to focus on its characters more, though, as the idealized farm life stuff is kinda dull to me. Arakawa can do characters well, we just need to see him do that here. Tomohiko Ito did something watchable but not amazing again.

Inu to Hasami wa Tsukaiyou - Seriously, you guys, I have to reiterate: THIS SHOW IS PATHETIC. It's easily the worst thing in an already terrible season, and if you encourage stuff like this, it's only going to diminish the quality of anime. Fuck this tripe.

Charts are fully updated.

However, I have to ask, Mogs, how much did you torture yourself with Inu to Hasami wa Tsukaiyou. It sounds like you watched more eps after the first one. (I have to admit that the series does seem to progressively get worse after each ep)

Brothers Conflict: Seems like Brains Base is making boring, low quality shoujo again. Dropped

/late again

Choujigen Game Neptune: The Animation: Was waiting for this and it didn't let me down, I love all the characters so far, very cute >w<
Danganronpa: The Animation: Pls no. I really thought this is going to be awesome after the first episode, but the pink blood censoring (please let me know if there is/will be any version without that) and the fact that everything presented so far is completely nonsense and disappointing in my eyes. I will try to still keep up with it (my opinions might change), but for now I have to critisize it, cause It's really not what I expected.
Inu to Hasami wa Tsukaiyou: The story is really lame but I find this Anime funny, and refreshing, thats why Im going to keep watching it.
Stella Jogakuin Koutou-ka C³-bu: I somehow like it lol. It has something which keeps you watching even though it is not really exciting. Hope it keeps it up.

I'm still lazy and will watch the rest soon, maybe write then again here.

Evil people making me create new columns xD
I also can't believe I forgot to put Neptunia on the list.....

Everything is updated

I gave it 3. It only gets worse and worse and worse and I guess it just makes me angry that this shit is getting fans when it's such a major disaster of a project.

pink blood censoring (please let me know if there is/will be any version without that)

Pay attention to the source material before making this complaint, please~ It was in the PSP game to allow it to actually be on the system, and it adds to the overall pop art-influenced style.

Okiedoke, so, more thoughts. Short bursts.

Dangan Ronpa - The direction here proves that this director is just not very good at his job. It's only for people who have played the game and people who weren't fans before are bound to be alienated.

Neptunia - Ugh, no. Simultaneously horrendously-directed and horrendously pandery. Quite accurate to the source material!

Gatchaman Crowds - I do see where the hate is coming from on this. Hajime can be pretty irritating and the pace is quite frantic. However, the overall style and tone is very cheeky and cheery, and after a few episodes, I can tell this show's going to very interesting places.

Yami Shibai - Interesting for a short horror tale. I like creepy things, so why not~

Sorry, I didn't know that. Still it's quite a shame to me, because it somehow ruined the atmosphere I was in.
I was like super excited, and when I saw that girl covered in pink blood, it was all crushed in an instant lol

Choujigen Game Neptune: The Animation - Nepgear's mine. Oh yeah i expected fanservice, i got fanservice

Kamisama no Inai Nichiyoubi - Yo loli gravedigger. loli -> good

blissfulyoshi wrote:

pls die yoshi ):

Fantasista Doll: Really weird story, but the characters are cute.
Genei wo Kakeru Taiyou: Magical Girl and Horror in a mix - very unusual, but I enjoy it so far.
Kamisama no Inai Nichiyoubi: Really good stuff. The most recent episode was so touching, too!
Kiniro Mosaic: Cute girls and lots of comedy! /me likes
Kitakubu Katsudou Kiroku: Nope. Boring, and a totally overuse of "side comments" from the "MC", which get annoying as fuck.
Love Lab: Hilariously funny! Love this one.
Ro-Kyu-Bu! SS: Moe Lolis, nuff said.
Servant x Service: Exceptional setting, but overall I found this really boring.

There are still like 5 Animes more to come, keeping me busy ^_^

Danganronpa: Kibou no Gakuen to Zetsubou no Koukousei - The Animation: I am liking it, but I think this anime shouldn't be 13 chapters, it should be at least 25, because every chapter 1 person dies, and they investigate on 5 min and they do the trial. I think we should get to know more the characters and like half of more of a chapter investigating etc.... but I am just into this kind of anime so yeah I liked it
Free!: I find it somehow similar to KnB and I really like it, Haru is cool.
Kamisama no Inai Nichiyoubi: The first chapter didn't impress me so much, still I will give it some more chapters to see if it convinces me or not.
Senyuu. 2: Anime that makes you laugh on less than 5 min, what more do you want. Ridiculously funny
Blood Lad: It's funny, not too much fanservice though I wouldn't dislike it anyway, comedy, vampires and that stuff.
Watashi ga Motenai no wa Dou Kangaetemo Omaera ga Warui!:This girl is awesome and funny xD I am sure this anime will bring me some enjoyable hours
Love Lab: It was supposed to make me laugh? Dunno maybe I had a bad day but...I just can't for now with this anime.

It's the first time I do something like this, so probably I did it more or less wrong.

Neptunia: Oh my god it's so cute it's perfect it has everything. I never played the games though, but I don't want to.

Danganronpa: I played the PSP game after watching the first episode. The anime really doesn't compare.

Danganronpa: The Animation: I'm heavily disappointed. It's like they fast forwarded the game 3 times and the plotline is as sensible as the hallucinatory images you see when you are on acid. The game it self has holes all over the plot, but the gaming systems and weirdly awesome characters managed to clog the holes. The anime doesn't have the effects, and character development is shallow. Do it with the sequel and I'll hate you forever, because Mikan is my favorite female VG character.

Ro-Kyu-Bu SS: This, like HotD is one of the shows I regretted to watch and watching it automatically says you're an asshole. The lolis might be pleasing to the eyes, but the cliche plotline is really getting on my nerves.

Free!: K-On for the ladies. Damn it Kyoto Animation, you're making me bisexual.

Love Lab: I was introduced when I see a picture of yandere Mika Matsuo, and I was hooked into it. Above average. Funny, and actually very cute sometimes.

Hyperdimension Neptunia: No obvious advantage except the good appearance of the characters.

Silver Spoon: Gintama of the farms. No annoying characters. Very Good.

Aaah I am missing all shows because my laptop is dead. ;_; Though I am all fine with re-watching Hajime no Ippo before the 3rd season comes

Though I can only tell Free! rocks gay swimming ftw (tachibana <3)

Danganronpa: The Animation: Originals are always better.

Edit: Oh true I actually watched some new things:

Gin no Saji / Silver Spoon(Or something like that): Things about agriculture are always fun, this is just like Moyashimon without bacterias. Fun fun <3
Servant x Service: Classic josei-like Slice of life. After all of shit series, somehow this show is cheering me up. There is not that much good slice-of-life about office life, plus characters are fun too (Lucy's full name). Hasebe makes the show.
Monogatari: Senjougahara <3
Fate/kaleid liner Prisma☆Illya: Watching it for Ilya.
God Only Knows: Sadly they are just trying to keep it up, I am watching it because of Elsie. Though they said new characters are better but meh, they will just re-do everything from the start and old characters will show up again (Library girl tho <3).

As a small note, the chart should be fully updated to this point. As stated before, any errors in it is your responsibility.

Now here is the rest finally^^:
Blood Lad: Really good Anime, I like the setting and the characters so far
Monogatari Series SS: I enjoyed all the prequels, and this one didnt let me down yet either
Watamote: Really the best Anime of this season imo, I enjoyed every second so far, and Tomoko is just so damn adorable ><"

Kami Nomi zo Shiru Sekai III: Megami Hen I'm a huge fan of kami nomi, and I think manglobe is doing a pretty damn good job adapting the manga. Given only 1 cour, it is obvious that they would have to cut scenes out, which is sad, but I still love this series because all the characters are just great
Monogatari: Second Season don't have much to say about this series besides i like it, along with all the other monogataris

Kiniro Mosaic this show is just so moe holy shit, and it's funny. it's a nice, saccharine anime that never fails to put a smile on my face and is great to watch after a tiring day

Free!surprisingly enjoying this show. it's actually pretty damn funny and the fan service doesnt annoy me too much(the last ep was quite a bit though) i love how haru takes his shirt off everytime he sees water haha

Ro Kyu Bu SS dropped this, it's moe and all but some of the scenes are just awkward and i am not a fan of watching basketball(even if it's lolis playing)

Watashi ga Motenai no wa Dou Kangaetemo Omaera ga Warui! a bit depressing, but a bit funny and a unique protag

Brothers Conflict - Hahaha oh God. Animation is crappy, and I haven't played the game but I liked the way they introduce the characters in the novel way better? The pace seems rushed in the anime. Honestly I'm watching this because I'm biased with some of the seiyuus so I think I won't drop this until it got way too horrible.

Danganronpa: The Animation - I'm already a fan of the DR franchise before the anime announced, and after months of waiting the anime didn't disappoint me. I wish they'd animate the free times too though, but there'll only be 12 episodes so can't really expect that.

Free! - Another masterpiece, as expected from KyoAni.

Gatchaman Crowds - I don't know a shit about the Gatchaman franchise before this one, and I absolutely have no complain about this spin-off. Animation is really nice, Hajime is such a cutie!

Highschool DxD New - More boobs! And it's Kiba my favorite character's turn to shine after being a figurine character for the entire first season so I'm liking it so far.

Kitakubu Katsudou Kirooku - Funny and really entertaining.

Makai Ouji: Devils and Realist - I am pretty disappointed with the animation because I am a fan of Yukihiro Utako's works and holy god what have they done to their faces. Will continue watching though.

Rozen Maiden (2013) - I was a big fan of Peach-Pit and I have read the old Rozen Maiden manga but haven't read the new one. Since the anime is adapting the story from the new one and apparently has (slightly?) different story from the old one, I'm a bit confused. SO many arcs skipped in one episode, I can never understand DEEN's storyboarding. Animation doesn't disappoint (yet).

Senyuu. S2 - As hilarious as ever! And I really miss the cast.

Servant x Service - I almost didn't pick up this series because it looked boring, but I'm glad i picked this up. Characters are unique to each other and story is entertaining, really fun to watch.

Silver Spoon - Reminds me of Moyashimon, which I enjoy watching, except Silver Spoon is more to actual farming and Moyashimon is into studying microbes. And kind of out of context, but their school has a dormitory, which I can relate myself to. Man, I wish my school's dorm is like that.

Stella Jogakuin Koutouka C3bu - Cute!! Awesome!! What else? Animation is satisfactory, and girls with (toy) guns are my favorite. I expect a lot from this anime.

--

Other Summer anime I'm planning to watch (downloaded but too lazy to watch yet o<-<): Blood Lad, Fantasista Doll, Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya, Gen'ei wo Kakeru Taiyou, Hyperdimension Neptunia, Kiniro Mosaic, Love Lab, Uchouten Kazoku, Watamote, and probably Inu to Hasami and Kamisama Inai Nichiyoubi. Will write first impression as soon as I watched.

Also, did someone changed the chart format into the old one? A lot of anime aren't listed yet.

>>>UPDATE 8/14/2013 New Series added.<<<

Fantasista Doll - Pretty disappointed. In many ways. The characters looked cute but their personality didn't match what I had in my mind. If you're going to make some moeshit show, then at least pour your soul into it!. Giving this show another chance though.

Hyperdimension Neptunia - With that cast list and nice animation this show has potential, the story also seemed interesting. I'm just a bit disappointed at Neptune. Katana doesn't suit her when she has that kind of cheerful personality!

Kaminomi - I guess it's ok, might as well watch it since I've watched all the previous airings. Keima is boss btw
