With not even being more than three episodes into some of this current seasonal offering we're finding out which titles will be on offer for the upcoming:

I can comfortably state a few anime which have me interested, these include:

Fate/Zero S2 - self explanatory and best anime of the season/ year.
Medaka Box - I quite enjoy the manga, hopefully the anime transition isn't bad.
Sankarea - Reasonably cute girl turns into a zombie with a romantic tinge, mhmm~
Tasogare Otome x Amnesia - wont spoil this, just not too hot on another hetare male lead..
Kore wa Zombie Desu ka? of the Dead - wasn't satisfied with how the first season finished? Here's a second season out of nowhere!
Zetman - adaptation of a relatively decent manga title? I'm sold up until they disappoint me with a quality drop or skipping large segments of the context from the manga.
Seitokai Yakuindomo OVA - only an OVA but will still bring about twentyish minutes of laughter!
Another OVA - just have to see it for completionist sake.
Yondemasu yo, Azazel-san. - the series of this was a really nice recommendation from UnderminE and now I have more enjoyment to look forward to? Thank you very much.
Acchi Kocchi - Delightful light-hearted comedy with a tinge of romance which is actually quite good.

Biggest WTF moment was realising that Strike Witches was getting a god·damn movie?
Add to that Thomas the Tank Engine?

Saki was the best show about magical lesbians playing mahjong that I've ever seen, so I'm definitely watching the spinoff.

Koi-ken - sounds extremely generic, but I'll probably try it anyways.
Sankarea - Interesting enough, kawaii art :3
Gundam unicorn ova 5 - continuing this series of ovas

that's about it for now, usually I pick up a few more after reading blog posts depending on their review of the first ep.

I was wondering when that Strike Witches movie was going to come along.

Might watch Saki but otherwise nothing overly interesting catches my eye this round.

Always lurking.

Meh. Looks better than the current season.

Finally, something to look forward to.

Random opinions:

Medaka Box: I have a feeling the anime is going to fail at first because the manga did not become an action series until about 25 chapters in, so we will have a bunch of boring things about the judo club, swimming team, and the like T_T. If the anime gets to class 13, I will be extremely excited, but until then......

Saki: Achiga-hen: Why is this one so much further ahead plot wise then the original series (manga just finished the 6th chapter and it is already at the nationals semifinals while the standard series is on the 92nd chapter with the captains match on the quarterfinals after skipping bits of the first match) Oh well Kuromo makes a quick appearance, so all is well. Well, I guess I don't like the characters in a-side as much as the main storyline, but I guess it will fulfill my need for saki stuff until the nationals arc can finally be animated.

Accel World: After reading the first volume of the light novel, I can't say it was the most entertaining read in the world.Most of it was traditional shonen stuff in a sci-fi location. There wasn't much humor to supplement the plot either, so if this show is to succeed, the director better be really good at telling a story or adding in content because this is definitely one of the weaker light novels I have come across (strangely enough, I found the manga somewhat entertaining, so there might be some hope here)

I might add more later.

Only ones I'm interested in are the three sequels, excluding Kimi to Boku.

If this trend continues, I might actually be able to finish my anime backlog. o/

I think that's the last episode of OVA (http://myanimelist.net/anime/7762/Yonde ... Azazel-san.). But it says OAD so not sure about the episode. Anyways you are welcome \:D/

Looking forward to Fate Zero and also maybe the astronaut anime.

I still wished the anime guys release a Phoenix Wright Anime.
So much for that fake anime list a year ago.

Random thoughts:
T_T, more soccer anime? That seems to be the most popular sport to make an anime for right now.
Also, how is Gokujo getting a second season, the first 3 episodes didn't even air on TV. (Who knows about episode 4)
Thomas the tank engine, wow it has been a while since I have this, I really wonder how this is going to turn out... (I probably won't watch it)
I guess I am one of the few ppl here who was looking forward to the strike witches movie xD.

atlantis, trains, wolves, and zombies holy shit. 3 things I never expected to see like ever.

There's a big difference between watching it for the hell of it and looking forward to it. This is one of those "fuck it there's nothing else to watch".

It's only gay if the sliders touch.

This season feels pretty weak to me. Not even the previews caught my eye much. I'll guess I'll maybe try Zetman and Accel World?

Fate/zero is a given, though. I've missed ~~Alexander the Bro~~ ~~Broskander~~ ~~the King of Bronquerors~~ it.

Even though I've long since retired from osu!, I'll always think of my time here fondly. If by chance you happen to notice this signature on some old forum thread, thanks for stopping by and I hope you're having a great day!

What I will definitely be watching:

Sakamichi no Apollon
Tsuritama
Uchuu Kyoudai
Zetman
Accel World
Ozuma
Hyou-ka
Sengoku Collection
Shining Hearts
Kimi to Boku. S2

Might also give that Silver Link show a shot, along with Nyaruko-san. I will also probably be beaten into watching Medaka Box.

Seriously, though, guys, Apollon has an all-star development team behind it. Look into it.
