[RyougaZell]

Wow. Short.

High School of the Dead is a must for me.

May be interested in Shi Ki and Strike Witches 2 (though I still need to finish the 1st series)

None of the others click with me.

[animus]

Rofl "The Legend of the Legendary Heroes". Awesome name.

[Marik]

I'm definitely going to check out Sekirei: Pure Engagement, Strike Witches 2, and Highschool of the Dead. I'll give Asobi ni Ikuyo! a try as well.

[Dark Dragon]

Nurarihyon no Mago is definite for me, love the manga.

Other than that, i'll probably try Sekirei, Highschool of the Dead and Seikimatsu Occult Gakuin.

I feel obligated to check out "Legend of the Legendary Heroes" because of the name.

[RyougaZell]

I'm curious. Who of those that plan to see High School of the Dead have read the manga? I have. And its awesome.

[shinta|hikari]

I have read the manga, and I will probably watch it just because I watch practically everything anyway, but having read the manga version usually weakens my enjoyment of an anime.

[Kraco]

Damn. There are too many series I feel like I've to watch.

Highschool of the dead because everybody and their goldfishes are praising the manga.
Sengoku Basara 2 because the first one was quite good.
Amagami because I've always been interested in seeing why it has so much fanart.
Strike Witches 2 is a nopantsubrainer.
Sekirei 2 has to be watched as well because the first season wasn't bad.

Others I will most like check out:

Seikimatsu Occult Gakuin sounds interesting.
The Legend of the Legendary Heroes sounds too legendary to skip.
Ookamisan to Shichinin could be generic but I might have a look.
Asobi ni Iku Yo has a cat ears girl...
Shukufuku no Campanella, I will have a look at the trailer of this one. It's based on an H-game so I'm not hoping for too much but who knows.

[Ryllharu]

High School of the Dead - I read the manga, I will watch the anime, hopefully uncensored on A-TX or something. Awesome casting too.
The Legend of the Legendary Heroes - Sounds like a pretty awesome fantasy series. Haven't had [a good] one of those in a while. It also seems Ayahi Takagaki (Regios, True Tears, Sora no Otoshimono) is playing the female lead and Jun Fukuyama (Geass, everything else) the male lead.
Amagami - I'm curious.
Ookamisan to Shichinin - Might also be interesting.


The last Sekirei series was a mess, so I can safely skip that and stick to the manga. Nothing else really interests me or is a sequel to something I didn't watch.

[shinta|hikari]

and Jun Fukuyama (Geass, everything else) the male lead.


Half of everything else, since the other half is done by Hiroshi Kamiya.

[masamuneehs]

wow. "A boy joins an all female student council." copypasta for the fail...


I'll watch
High School of the Dead - it better not suck
Shi Ki (Corpse Demon) - vampires and horror? let's see if the lolis don't make this one suck too hard.
Legendary Heroic Legend of the Heroisms of Legenderia - Awful title with a generic premise. Just how desperate am I for a real good epic action piece? FUCKING DESPERATE.
Nurarihyon no Mago - a Shounen Jump piece. This has fail written all over it, but I'm going to at least watch the first episode.

[digitalrurouni]

High School of the Dead

Sengoku Basara 2 - never got done watching all the episodes of the first one...saw about half of them but they were awesome.

Kuroshitsuji 2 - Enjoyed the first one so gonna watch this one too.

[Buffalobiian]

I'll be taking a snap at like 75% of all this.

Ones that I'm not considering watching are:

Shukufuku no Campanella
Digimon
Tono to Issho
Osaka Hamlet
All the sequels (excluding Sekirei, and depending on if I can fit the prequel into my schedule, Strike Witches)

[Pandadice]

oh awesome. i haven't even started the Spring season yet, but this fall season looks sweet.

I'm thinking I'll check out

High School of the Dead
Occult Academy
Shiki
Osaka Hamlet
Ookamisan to Shichinin no Nakamatachi (if only for the Taiga rip off)

I look forward to the v2

[Penner]

Sure things:
Nurarihyon no Mago
Highschool of the Dead
The Legend of The Legendary Heroes (title=must atleast check it out)

Maybes:
Shi Ki
Seikimatsu Occult Gakuin
Sengoku Basara Two (haven't seen "One" so i'll probably check that out first)

[shinta|hikari]

The funny thing is, a more direct translation of the title is even more funny.

The Legend of The Heroes of Legend

What were they thinking?

[Pandadice]

The funny thing is, a more direct translation of the title is even more funny.

The Legend of The Heroes of Legend

What were they thinking?

is the name anymore ridiculous than Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt? I think they're probably trying to be comical with the title (as Gainax is with the Panty title)

[Yukimura]

Seems I'm late to the show but

Definite
Highschool of the Dead
Seikirei 2
Sengoku Basara 2

Probably
Sekimakutsu Occult Gakuin - Who needs more than thigh highs and a miniskirt (and maybe Ersatz Touma)?
Shi Ki - Doesn't seem to be much else serious this season.

Maybe
Legend of the Legendary Heroes - Silly name is silly but action is action.
Amagami SS - Sounds episodic and melodramatic, may be good on occasion.
Ookamisan .... - Sounds like a potential replacement for Daimaoh

Nurarihyon no Mago - Why not

Soap Boxing
Asobi ni Iku yo - wow To LOVE Ru got a reboot?
Seitokai Yakuindomo - wow Seitokai no Ichizon got a reboot?

[Archangel]

Not really inclined to watch any of those... except maybe a couple of digimon eps for the nostalgia

Yes I'm serious, leave me alone >_>

I didn't like the breast and pantsu shots. The way it's portrayed feels really cheap.

[RyougaZell]

The manga is full of them Bill.

[Buffalobiian]

The manga is full of them Bill.

Then I might not like that either then. You might be able to get away with it more in manga since the tits don't wave at you.

[Pandadice]

So after checking out the Legend of the Legendary Heroes PV (youtube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wcDgfvgImSY) - torrent (subbed) (http://enigmacollective.fansub-torrents.com/%5BEC%5DThe%20Legend%20of%20the%20Legendary%20Hero es%20-%20PV1%28640x368%20h264%29%5B4654C782%5D.mkv.torre nt)) just to see what exactly it looks like, the first thing that grabbed me was the scenery and backgrounds which immediately made me interested in checking this out. However the characters all look pretty generic, and I was turned away by the violent slapstick humor. But it still looked pretty cool overall.

Also, it's directed by the guy who did that awful Chrono Trigger OVA.. So that (being the only thing by him (aside from the first two episodes of Sengoku Basara) that I've seen) is a turn off. Though I do find it interesting that the new season of Sengoku Basara is going to be directed by someone else.

He also directed Arc the Lad and Chrome Shelled Regios. That is all I need to know to know it is in good hands for this genre.

Mmm. I have been interested in checking out Regios. So maybe I'll watch that before the Summer season starts, and then decide if I wanna watch this new thing based on how much I liked Regios.

[David75]

I might have a no anime summer :eek:

I will check most first ep, but that short list did not do it for me.

Maybe I'll sit for some rewatch (like GTO for example, basic but always a good laugh)

for the last 12 months, there are some shows I left aside for no particular reason, I will check if there are some batches and probe them too.

I also hope there's more to this summer than the titles shown in that picture.

A summer without anime, unthinkable!

[Dark Dragon]

Season Preview by RandomC. (http://randomc.net/2010/06/14/summer-2010-preview/)

[Archangel]

Lol wth, 90% of that is marked guaranteed

[animus]

Yeah, Divine will watch anything with seiyuus he likes it looks like. And so far the trend is especially when you throw a lot of seiyuus into a harem anime, he'll watch it.

Somehow i don't feel he can be as objective as Omni was

[RyougaZell]

Wow. Short.

High School of the Dead is a must for me.

May be interested in Shi Ki and Strike Witches 2 (though I still need to finish the 1st series)

None of the others click with me.

After RandomC's preview I may watch Ookamisan and The Legend of the Legendary Heroes, apart from the already chosen High School of the Dead, Shiki and Strike Witches 2.

[David75]

High School of the Dead might be appealing if the humour is very good and there's plenty of it.

I wish there would be an anime I would wait for days each week that would enjoy me each time.

This season, only Giant Killing has me waiting impatiently, but sadly the eps are fairly dull as of yet.

[Buffalobiian]

Somehow i don't feel he can be as objective as Omni was

Omni had his own bias about which shows he takes up. He's just got a more objective style as he separates summaries from thoughts and comments.

I'm not terribly interested in Ookami-san to Shichinin no Nakama-tachi, but the only things going through my head as I watched the preview were Shirai Kuroko narrating and Misaka Mikoto's occasional gruff lines, so I would probably check it out for a few episodes.

Amagami SS didn't tickle my fancy much, but I'll still check it out since it wasn't a turn-off. Shukufuku no Campanella also fits into this category.

Legendary Heroes looks worthwhile, since I rather like the female swordsman.

Highschool of the Dead seems alright - I like the idea, but dislike the fanservice execution.

Occult Academy is more like my ideal undead/supernatural anime. The mysterious feel to it reminds me of Ghost Hound, so I'll be looking forward to this one. Put Shiki in here as well. (Given the setting, the character designs look a bit funny in that one)

Asobi ni Iku yo looks fun, and I'll also be continuing Sekirei as it looks like they're finally going to reveal something other than boobs.

Can't/won't be watching Strike Witches 2 until I've seen the first one (whenever that will be).

[Pandadice]

I'm really hoping Legend of the Legendary Hero turns out to be what I was wanting Sacred Blacksmith to be. That could be really cool.

I've recently downloaded and plan to watch Kimikiss, so depending on how I like that, then I will decide if I want to watch Amagami SS. But that PV makes me think I'll enjoy it.

I'm really interested in Sengoku Basara 2 just because of who's directing it. It's Kazuya Nomura's directorial debut, but the dude has done animation work on a ton of awesome titles. Like Trava, Xam'd, Tweeny Witches, Tekkon Kinkreet, Mind Game, segments from The Animatrix, Hijikata Toshizo.. Like everything the dude has worked on is awesome. So that in itself makes me want to go watch through the first season just so i can watch this second one.

[Kagemane_no_Jutsu]

Whoever checks out the new Digimon make sure you get back to me on this, let me know if its epicly awesome.... or just mostly epicly awesome.

[Sapphire]

The RandomC link is awesome! It's so nice to just conveniently read off charts.

Moetron's list (http://www.moetron.com/2010/05/18/summer-2010-anime-list-%E2%80%93-junejulyaugust/), OAD/Films and what not are included.

No DVD/Theatre release aye...

Well YouTube HD's a pretty accessible alternative. Would be nice for a BD release though.
