Going by that list, i'm only interested in No. 6. The only other series I might consider is Dantalian no Shoka and possibly Sacred Seven.

Someone almost brought up on Youtube that apparently Reborn will be continuing this Summer and that they found it in the summer lineup. Will be interesting if this is true.

I'm hoping the work on the second season of Working/Wagnaria can proceed fast enough for a summer placement, I'm really looking forward to more Inami action and would love more inclusion of the "normal girl" they finally gave screen time to in last year's finale.

Will be watching, Baka to Test 2nd, Blade, Blood-C, Natsume Yuujinchou San, & Nurarihyon No Mago 2nd. I didn't even know Nura was getting another season. Didn't think Blood-C was coming this early either. Might check out Appleseed XIII, but I was never a big fan of the movies. Always found them to be unmemorable for the most part. Unsure about the rest since I know practically nothing about them. Will probably check out the first episodes of half of them to see if they do anything for me.

Whats up with all these crappy Marvel Anime imitations? Are they bound by a contract or something?

You would think so, given that this is the world of business.

And they are not imitations, they are adaptations done with Marvel's signoff.

As to their quality, Iron Man was okay, Wolverine was utter crap, X-Men could go either way at this point.

That's what I was thinking. What the hell? When will Madhouse get their brains back? I mean, I hope they're not putting off Yume-miru Kikai because of this.

As to the other shows:
- Natsume is a personal favourite;
- Both Noitamina shows actually look interesting this time;
- A show set in 1800s Paris? I will have a look just to see how badly they butcher the setting;
- Gainax show - yes;
- Blood - might be worth checking out;
- BakaTest - yeah, as long as it remains fun.

The deal was for four of them, Blade is the last one and if the boring Iron Man and the plain bad Wolverine were any indication, they won't be making any more. Unless, against any reason, they're a giant hit in the US when they air on G4. And while Americans as a whole are not known for good taste I think I have enough of a grasp for what Superhero fans like, and those two ain't it.

Hmmm... I wonder what we can expect from this series. It's website is http://oppaidaisuki.jp/. Strange domain name, wouldn't you say? And the website animation starts off with a steam bun (that's what a steam bun looks like, right? Razz )

Not too many titles look promising for me. I will be waiting for:

1) Towa no Quon

2) Sengoku Basara

3) Kokuriko (new Ghibli feature)

4) No 6

5) Per-hapssss Blood C. I liked Blood +, I wonder what is this one supposed to be, remake, preque, sequel, anything to do with Blood + except for the setting?

Looks like it's CLAMP's take on the Blood universe (and actually written by CLAMP, not them writing a few notes down for other writers to flesh out) with Production IG bringing out the big guns. The guys IG have on this are much more "top tier" than the people who worked on Blood+.

I don't know quite what you are meaning, however what is fact is that Wolverine was based off of an actual story in the actual comic books. Hence, adaptation. A horrible adaptation to be sure, but then that's not all that surprising now, is it?
