This is the big one. The one you’ve all been waiting for. This is the hype season.
(I didn’t post the stuff from last season, but, uh, I guess Parasyte, Your Lie in April, Cute High Earth Defense Club LOVE! all made the list, and I’m now catching up on Log Horizon.)
Maximum Hype
- Fate/stay night Unlimited
BudgetBlade Works. If you haven’t already seen the first season, you do not deserve to be reading this list. - Nisekoi (continued).
- The Disappearance of Nagato Yuki-chan. The “alternate universe” style refocused anime based on a spin-off manga story. I may just own all the official English manga, and be a big Haruhi fan besides. It’s interesting that KyoAni turned this down; it’ll be animated by Satelight.
- Ghost in the Shell: Arise (TV Anime). Not much detail, but the hype is real. GiTS makes a return to TV, but will it be SaC good?
- Hello! Kin-iro Mosaic. More silly Engrish in this sequel. Ridiculous cute guaranteed.
Could probably use more hype than it has
- Plastic Memories. Sci-fi story involving the collection and disposal of end-of-life androids. Has potential to be a touching story if pulled off well. If not, it’s off to the moe android junkyard.
Some Hype
- Hibike! Euphonium. Reason: KyoAni.
- Ninja Slayer. Reason: Trigger. But I dunno if I’ll keep up, it doesn’t seem like my fav. genre based on key art.
- Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha ViVid. It’s been ages since the first two Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha series, and Strikers was such a let down. Will this new refocused anime based on an spin-off manga story pick the series back up again?
- More Gintama. To be honest, I haven’t actually seen anything but bits and pieces of the series, but it seems like I could probably pick it up now without too much issue. Maybe catch up later
Anti-hype
I’m sure there are people who were looking forwards to them. But they’re not me.
- Digimon Adventures. I’m sure there are lots of people who will watch and enjoy this. But I’m probably not gonna watch it, and therefore will never know whether I would have enjoyed it.
- Battle Spirits Burning Soul. Not another trading card game anime.
- Takamiya Nasuno Desu!. I’m not sure how they’re making another season of Teekyuu, let alone this spin-off series. Although… I’m not really one to say: I watched the entire Teekyuu series on Crunchyroll.
You’re probably hyped about different things than me. That’s too bad, but feel free to let me know what they might be…
