Something tells me fujoshi might love it. As for me, I'll see how cartoony it ends up to be.

Looks kinda generic
 But I'll give it a go for an episode or two.
Sorry for the multiples, damn computer...

This looks like one of those shows that might appeal to me, but it all depends 100% on the execution. I'm at least intrigued enough to check out the first episode, though.

I love how much the Japanese whitewash the history of samurai and shogun culture. Haha, a page indeed.
Even moreso for this character! |

Just get Nakai to speak engrish and sales with rise by the thousands. Kinda funny that Hanzo, for once, is made an evil character, despite that...you know, he's one of Ieyasu's most loyal followers. Guess we'll wait for Kotaro Fuuma to make his grand appearance. |

I can already tell I'm gonna be watching Brave10 for all the wrong reasons (initially at least). Here's hoping there are figures in the works.
I think this and the 4th season of Natsume Yuujinchou are all that's on my radar this season. Oh, and the Gyo OAV. I'm really anticipating that, having loved the manga. |

I'll be in this one for the Ho Yay. I love how there are already 1000 Harem series and fanservice shows, and BL series are still the ones people complain about.
 They say things like 'I hate the fans', but maybe that's not what REALLY bothers them.  Of course I shouldn't just assume this show will have that element. Just wishful thinking.

Hmmm, tons of hetero fanservice shows for guys vs. few yaoi fanservice shows for girls. You're right, something is imbalanced. |

I prefer hetero fanservice shows but I'm also perfectly okay with yaoi. While the last yaoi show I watched was Kotetsu Sangokushi (which I never finished), I still have fond memories of Loveless and Yami no Matsuei.
Though I'm a straight male, I actually prefer yaoi over yuri oddly enough. Anyways, onto the new spotlights. High school boys: Was thinking I'd skip this but I see it won't only be about boys. I'll have to see how much the girls factor into it. Inu x Boku SS: Now this is my sort of show. A cute female lead and mysteries? With Yuuichi Nakamura? I'm there. |

High School Boys looks like it'll be another seasonal reason (in addition to Milky Holmes S2) for me to hold off on watching the rest of Gintama.
When are we going to get a season bereft of effective comedy series? I thought I was in the clear this year after Azazel-san, but then Blood C and P4 had to happen. |

Might try out Inu x Boku, I'll probably wait until people start reviewing the first episode though. Not too much new for me this winter season, Natsume Yuujincou Shi and maybe Another but that's about it, good thing I already saw Kyosou Giga and have a number of fall shows continuing.

At first glance I thought Brave10 would be cool shonen show and the characters would well, look more shonen jump characters. I might give it a chance, but I do feel an odd overtone about the show, so I am not sure if I am going to really continue it.
However, (for me) I rather watch this than the harem/moe shows come out. I was hoping for comedic slice of life show to watch during Winter, but it looks like I'll just stick with Gintama and Sket Dance. Not a very noteworthy season thus far, but I suppose it's wait and see at this time. |

If the Daily Lives of High School Boys goes for the "Gintama" route, then I'll gladly watch it.
Brave 10, could go either way, so I'll have to wait and see. So.....are we gonna see the spotlight with the "erect nipples"? Just curious, really want something to laugh at.

For some of the shows they just send me the colored design sheets, and for one of them (I just checked, it was High School DxD) those included up-close diagrams of how each female characters nipples looked both erect and relaxed. I knew it'd be a pervy show... I will not be including them. Sorry guys, ANN is a (moderately) family-friendly site. :p Last edited by jsevakis on Fri Dec 16, 2011 1:39 am; edited 1 time in total |
