Seed Destiny
DBZ special (I assume this is just a couple of episodes or something right?)
Hentai Ouji
Ore no Imouto
Hayate
Railgun
Maou-sama

edit: Need to add Yahari Ore no Seishun to that. Seems my schedule will be rather busy.

Really looking forward to Shingeki no Kyojin!

[MFauli]

Thx for the thread. Let´s see:

- Photo Kano (if I´m really bored. Sounds so unspectacular that it could go both bad or well)
- Ginga Kikoutai Majestic Prince (also a "so-so" choice. Might drop it quickly if ep1 isn´t great)
- Oreimo Season 2 (because I´m looking forward to hating bitch #1 again)
- Shingeki no Kyojin (supposed highlight of the season. Other users compared it to Berserk. Have high expectations. Trailer looked awesome)
- Uchu Senkan Yamato 2199 (another scifi-anime. will give it a chance)
- Kakumeiki Valrave (ok, whats up with all those scifi-shows? looking into that one, too. sounds like a space opera)

As for movies, I´m looking forward to Hanasaku Iroha.

But what´s with all the missing stuff? No Hunter X Hunter? Space Brothers? Jojo? What about the third BERSERK-movie? Hope we´ll get these, too.

Anyway, potentially great season. Yeah, I´m surprised myself to be able to say that. Though, even if all else fails, as long as Kyojin and Oreimo doesn´t disappoint, I won´t complain (... too much).

Why am I not surprised Japan would actually import MLP:FIM

[Uchiha Barles]

The bronies without borders probably yelled loud enough on one or more of the #chan sites to make the studios think its a good idea. Watch it be a good idea.

At first sight all new series look like crap. Maybe that giants one is good but if I remember right the manga is boring and slow paced as hell so lets wait to see how do they animate it. If its something like 1.5 chapter per episode its better to waste your time nail polishing. Luck to all those with expectations in this season.

excited about: DEVIL SURVIVOR 2, Shingeki no Kyojin

will check out: Mushibugyou, Arata Kangatari

[MFauli]

For those who know more about these upcoming shows: Anything that´s like to be talked about the way we did about Shin Sekai Yori this season? I love it when there´s an anime that´s both interesting to watch AND leaves enough room for speculation. I mean, other shows are nice, too, but what else can you post about a new Jojo-episode other than "so manly!" or "fucking awesome Nazis". :/

[shinta|hikari]

If they make it far enough, Shingeki no Kyoujin fits. I fear that they will only animate the action heavy parts of it though.

[tnynyn]

Looks like an awesome season. Lots of space animes :D

[Shadow Skill]

is that say DBZ specials + a movie?

[DarthEnderX]

All I know is Goku is fighting a kangaroo.

[Shadow Skill]

Sure that's not some sort of DBZ Yugioh version which coincidently resembles a Kangaroo?

Anyone got the TV programme, showing on what days what anime is being shown? Also, exact starting dates? thx

You can't really be this stupid...

Read the chart. (http://forums.gotwoot.net/showthread.php/22464-Upcoming-Anime-Spring-2013?p=527537&viewfull=1#post527537)

no need to insult me.
Didn´t see the dates, BUT I remember there being a website last season that showed the whole week plan, making it way easier to see when what is being aired.

[Ryllharu]

Combine the chart with a calendar. Due to the shifting starting weeks (since the season starts in earnest on 4/3) it will be easier.

Protip: There is likely one on your PC desktop.

Er, not sure if this is exactly what you're looking for, but I always go to random curiosity for the dates and times:

[MFauli]

thx, thats exactly it. and wtf, no hunter x hunter?!

[David75]

Tested like 10 shows.
Hataraku Maou-sama might be nice to follow if they do not screw up from ep 2

Aku no Hana is entirely different.
Rotoscopied people in semi-photographic drawings is a little difficult visualy at first. The atmosphere gets you quite uneasy.
Recognized that Baudelaire picture immediately, and so it was "Les fleurs du mal".
But the uneasyness I felt was more a mix of "Le spleen de Paris" (Baudelaire too) and "L'écume des jours" (Boris Vian), with a stronger emphasis on the second.
I wonder where they're headed with that show. At least they got some atmosphere. I just hope they don't screw it too much.

[David75]

Suisei no Gargantia:
Nice visual effects/animation/style.
SpaceManKind lauching all out attack against gigantic plants enemies, loses battle. One of the fighters misses docking procedure just as he's about to enter hyperspace and exits in an unknown place... called Earth -which his pals only knew from records-.

I guess the story will then proceed to the guy meshing with Earthlings, liking the place and all... but the plant enemies will somehow trace the distress signal or the hyperspace vortex energy signature at the exit and they'll come to the solar system... So he'll have to do something about it

Will check for more eps, This seems to be the flashy show of the season.

[Ryllharu]

While the opening sequence was quite flashy, the description seems to indicate that Gargantia is a slice of life kind of show, with the male lead integrating into this scavenger vessel culture despite only knowing how to fight. The first few minutes seemed to show that he was apprehensive about even taking leave or ending his period of service.

I liked the character designs quite a bit.

Make a proper thread for it if you want to discuss it.
