Like the title said.
This april will mark the beginning of 47 series. Some are new. Others are 2nd seasons (that had months of vacation).

The complete list (in spanish) can be found here:

[Start of Edit]

Apart from the 47 series listed on the webpage above, this other 4 are added to the list:
Sky Girls
Otogi Juushi Akazukin ~Fairy Musketeers~
Saint October
Tokimeki Memorial

All from Konami.
Bringing a grand total of 51 series (for now?)

[End of Edit]

So... which ones are you guys would be waiting for or will be watching?

Personally I am waiting for these:

.hack//ROOTS
Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE 2nd Season
xxxHolic
Makai Senki Disgaea

...couldn't you find a list in English?...

nm, I found it

Spring Anime Lineup, in English (starts April)

don't know much about most of these shows but some I'm looking forward to are
Black Lagoon
.hack/Roots
Ju oh Sei (prison anime, one I have highest expectations for)
Ray the animation
xxxHolic

I don't know much about disgaea, but the promo didn't really impress me that much... Not like I really have time for many more new anime...

A friend of mine edits that page (several months ago I used to write for that blog as well). So well... heheh... sorry it was in spanish.
Thnks for the link in english as well.

Only watching the Promo for Disgaea is not enough actually. Most of those of us that are waiting for it played the game before (and I can't wait to play Disgaea 2).

And I know what you say about new series.
Currently Im just watching Naruto, Bleach, Kashimashi, Mai Otome, Fate/Stay-Night and Canvas 2. I believe at least the last three should be ending before or at the first two weeks of the new season.

EDIT:
Although I see that list in english include several already released titles (like Shinigami no Ballad) or Dvd's (like Full Metal Alchemist Premium)

I'm certainly looking forward to AMG second season... with some misgivings (like ... how they're going to make an actual plot <_<). Same with Makai Senki Disgaea ... I'm hoping it's going to have some sort of original storytelling, and isn't strictly a retelling of the game.

A couple other things look interesting ... but as always, there's a lot of things that look pretty terrible in that lineup too :p

It looks really promising.
I'm really looking forward to:
.hack//G.U. -> I wonder what 'style' it will be. Like //sign or like //Dusk
Tsubasa Chronicle S2 -> Can't wait to see more of kuro-wanwan :)
AMG Season2 -> Season 1 was addictive, so I'm looking forward to the next season.
School Rumble 2nd Semester -> More Harima??

I'll give some other series a chance as well.. but not all 40 of them :p

Of what I know Roots is the prelude of the GU games.
It takes place 3 years after Dusk, but the previous The World is gone, destroyed by a fire on the main servers.
The story takes place in The World R2. But when this new version came many left the game (20 million users became just 12 million users) because they could not migrate their old characters.

The main character is a Multi-Weapon (new class) called Haseo, who is a Player Killer. According to information on the anime and the games, a friend of Haseo will be Data-Drained by a rogue character called Tri-Edge, who resembles a Zombie-Kite.

The style should an improved version of Sign, remember Dusk was done in a "cute-comic-relief-way", or at least the anime was. The Dusk manga was way better and more serious (it even had references to .hack//AI Buster and .hack//Zero, and also featured other characters like Albireo, Lycoris, Hokuto, Kazu, Mistral, Orca, Wiseman and the original Kite and BlackRose)

I intend to continue with the second season of ARIA since I enjoyed the first season so much, as well as the next season of School Rumble.

Disgaea will definitely be worth a try, I'm also a huge fan of the game.

NANA, RAY -the animation-, xxxHolic, Tokko, and Black Lagoon are all titles I follow the manga of fairly consistently, so I'll be looking forward to those, particularly NANA, which has become my favorite series while waiting between Berserk chapters.
Mon, 03-13-2006, 01:32 PM
kooshi

- Ah! My Goddess (2nd season)
- Makai Senki Disgaea
- School Rumble (2nd season)

Me, I find it difficult to start something I've never heard about, so I'll be waiting to see which ones are the popular ones before I start watching them.

RPG2000

47???....thats a lot to take...oh well

I'm personally looking forward to:

Black Lagoon (interesting story behind it)(Madhouse Production)
NANA (Yazawa Ai's work...I like her works, especially Paradise Kiss...a must watch for my part) (Madhouse Production)
KIBA (interesting story behind it) (Madhouse Production)
xxxHOLIC (Production IG)
TOKKO (Group TAC)
School Rumble 2 (more Harima wackyness) (Studio Comet)

Ju oh Sei look great. Rich kids go to jail, it will rule you!

Mon, 03-13-2006, 03:46 PM
Munsu

There are a shitload I'm looking forward to as you might imagine, but the main ones have to be:

Tokko - With the low level of manga content, I hope they don't fuck it up. At least keep the hot girls, the violence, and the gore.

Witch Blade
Ray - saw a bit of the manga, looked good.
NANA
Air Gear - they'll probably fuck it up
Jyu Oh Sei
Kiba
Strawberry Panic - got to give love to the yuri
Utawarerumono - a promo came out a couple of weeks ago and it looked great.
Soul Link
Black Lagoon - the manga didn't look good, but the anime might be
School Rumbe 2nd Term - this will be awesome.
xxxHOLiC
Tsubasa Chronicles Season 2

That is scary. Considering the fact there are series like Futago Hime and Digimon in that list. There's even a yaoi title.

I also plan to get AMG Season 2, but to tell the truth... even though I've downloaded the 26 eps of the first season, I have not seen past ep 20. Need to watch them before seeing season 2...

Deleted double post.

Post Trailers/Promos of Upcoming Spring animes here!

Info on one of the 47. Trying to avoid a flood of new threads about crappy animes that noone will ever watch but will clutter this place up -You happy now whoever Neg Repped me for bumping that Haruka 8 topic?- So until the episodes aired I was hoping this thread might be used to post info/promos on the upcoming series.

This is one of the new animes that is coming out in spring (where this section of the forum will be flooded in an avalanche of new threads)

Anime Universe has released a 30 second promo for this, you can find it here:
Soul Link promo

Apparently this is based off a game by Navel, the same people who made "Shuffle!"

Here's a ripped summary from AnimeNfo:
Aizawa Ryota was in the 3rd grade of the preparatory course of Central Military Academy. AD 2045, he went to a space station, Aries, for the training with his classmates including Nagase Saka and Nittak Kazuhiko. However, the station was attacked by a terrorist group, Hallarax.

Whether can they escape from the station to go back to the Earth?

Masa's take: Looks like it's a Sci-fi romance in all of it's not so great glory. 10 guys, 10 girls, all trapped on some space station cuz some pirates attack them... I still have a hard time swallowing animes based off of h-games, and although the animation looks good for this show, I've got that sinking feeling that's about all that will be good...

Airs April 5th

You talking to me? :P

No problem with creating a new thread for a new anime that is about to come out. My problem was with you bumping a thread of an anime that not even you watches and that from what had been said in the thread it was clearly shitty. So there was no real reason for you to bump it since, again, you didn't even watch the show.

It's like if I go a year from now and bump the Tactical Roar thread, just for the heck of it.

As for the Soul Link promo, it didn't do much for me, I was looking forward to the series, but the promo just didn't sell it well.
Sun, 03-19-2006, 06:55 PM
masamuneehs

well that's why I thought better of even creating a 'Soul Link' thread... it looks like it'll be a serious piece of shit. Might as well avoid making a thread for that thing all together if you can...

Here's a batch torret with a couple of promo's for those interested:

http://www.x-raws.com/torrents/raw/%..._-_01_.torrent

.hack//Roots
Himehime
Kararin Revolution
Himawari!
High-School Girls
Soul Link
ZEGAPAIN

None really got my interest. Maybe .hack, ZEGAPAIN, Soul Link, and Himawari!
Tue, 03-28-2006, 05:09 AM
masamuneehs

some sub-titled promos for you all.

AnimeU- Soul Link Promo Second Version As if the first one wasn't proof of how shitty this show is?

Kanon Promo, subbed by orz And no, i don't know who/what orz is

.hackRoots Promo! by Za Warudo This one was listed on gg fansubs tracker, so i believe this person is a part of their group

hope this gives some people an idea of what shows they might watch in the future. As for me, i already know i'm going to try .hack/Roots and not the other two.
Tue, 03-28-2006, 07:06 AM
Ryllharu

Are they redoing Kanon? That show finished years ago. Maybe its just a rebroadcast.

I hadn't heard anything before.
Tue, 03-28-2006, 07:16 AM
Kraco

Dunno. The ANN news some time ago said it's a remake. I honestly don't know why. If you watch the trailer, the style at least looks identical to the existing version. And I don't personally see why there would be any reason to redo the story. It was a bit peculiar show, but that's how it was supposed to be.
Tue, 03-28-2006, 09:38 AM
RyougaZell

They ARE redoing Kanon. With the same studio behind Air.
I've seen the promo, and the animation looks way better than the one showed several years ago.
I haven't played the game myself, but those who had agreed that the previous anime cut out many of the interesting parts. Hopefully this new series will cover them.

I just saw .hack//Roots promo... and I can't wait for it. Nor for .hack//GU.

EDIT:

Oh yeah... the title of this thread of mine is totally wrong already. I believe the list has already risen over 60...

Now that Shana is over and Otome ends this week I'm hoping these shows can fill the holes that will be left in my sig. The shows I'm looking forward to trying out are

Zegapain
Soul Link
Himawari
.hack(though I've never seen or played the other .hacks so I may be lost)
Digimon Saviors
Disgaea
Tue, 03-28-2006, 01:50 PM
RyougaZell

masamuneehs:
Thnks. I'll take it into account.

Aeon:
While watching the previous hacks (Sign [Anime] , Infestation [Game], Liminality [Ova], AI Buster [Novel], Zero [Novel], Another Story [Novel], Dusk/Udeden [Manga]) is not a requisite, you will be missing a lot of elements.

Like who Tri-Edge resembles.
What is Data Drain.
The significance behind Delta Hidden Forbidden Holy Ground.
And most importantly... who is Aura.

As far as I've seen, the 3 new hacks (announced for now) .hack//Roots [anime], .hack//G.U. [game] and .hack//Jack [Ova] have a lot of references to those points I mention above. Plus new novels are coming out... (If only TokyoPop hurried and translated Another Birth [scheduled for june in USA] and Zero [non-scheduled] ).
Fri, 03-31-2006, 07:09 AM
masamuneehs

another anime promo
this one's called Glass no Kantai
Glass no Kantai Promo

edit after watching: Looks like your: big war in space series. Didn't catch any mecha, but the promo heavily stressed the massive fleet-type battle environment and some clash between 'rebels and empires'. Looks like it will fall in the Legend of Galactic Heroes genre, but I wonder if it will deliver?

I think I've just gained another series to try when it premeires.. not long to wait, "April 4th, late at night" (in Japan).
also called: Legend of the Wind Universe
Fri, 03-31-2006, 04:47 PM
Kraco

To continue on the promo train of thought, CrystalNova released an Aria the Natural promo. This is most certainly one of the series I'm most eagerly waiting for of these imminent series.

The promo looked interesting already.

(But I don't know who the hell comes up with names like this:
1. season: ARIA the ANIMATION
2. season: ARIA the NATURAL

wtf..?)

I'm really liking AMG season 2, now that it's been airing. AnimeONE is taking its time in releasing it, but that's not a bad thing. Quality > Speed Release.

What's the chance of AonE starting a direct download service? I'd be willing to donate some money towards server costs etc. Anyone else like this idea?

Thanks for the update. Seems like there will be some good new series coming out. A few caught my attention and I hope they turn out to be excellent, Freedom-Project despite the product placement seems intriguing. Also Irohanihohet looks interesting, although thats just from a few pictures. Once again thank you.

RyougaZell, you are so awesome finding that, I don't even think I can control myself. I thought Nanoha ended in a good way, but I know I'll keep watching them if they keep cranking them out. It's simply one of the best magical girl series made.

I think for this fall, because school is already starting to pick up, that I'm going to have to minimize the series I watch. I'll probably only be picking up the Otome OVAs, Black Lagoon s2, and the Kanon remake.

More info on Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS
