Checking out both noitanima shows
Although I wonder if animation will do good for Usagi Drop well I´ll let them surprise me. Penguindrum (it´s the same director as Utena right?) I will definately give Nyanpire a chance ... and I might check out Yuruyuri |

Her birthday is 12/25/1910, Kujo's is 9/2/1910 according to the Gosick Wiki, though apparently the manga says he's 1909. Plus there's the fact that they're in the same grade and it's unlikely that she would have skipped grades since she rarely attends school and getting ahead wouldn't get her out any sooner. Emerje |

Well...I will have to re-watch the episode where we get Cordelia's backstory and watch again for the date-stamp, because I could've sworn Victorique's birth was in 1914. It's entirely possible the anime changed things. As for the grade-level issue, those were hardly standardized by 1924, especially in elite private schools. |

Not that I hate moe, but gotta' admit that I don't find a lot of interesting titles in this feature. While the "Blade" anime is the only title I find interesting form the Summer 2011 list, I am more interested in hearing news and updates about "Mobile Suit Gundam AGE" and "Zero Desigze" (Leiji Matsumoto's upcoming animated Sci-Fi work), regarding upcoming anime.

I'll watch Natsume as soon as I finish the other two seasons, and I'll give Blood a try... But other than that this season seems pretty worthless. Guess I'll finish older animes instead.

I plan on only watching Blade, Blood-C, and Nurarihyon no Mago Season 2.
(though I'll be waiting for an english dub of Blood-C and maybe Blade too) |

Overall, a lot of the character designs in many of these shows are not to my liking. Other than that, Many of the shows look interesting enough to check out, at least. Better than most summers, IMO
Definitely will watch: Natsume Yūjin-Chō San (my most anticipated for the season) Kamisama Dolls (done by Brain's Base, as is Natsume, I like the stuff they've been producing lately) No. 6 (Science Fiction = I'm there.) Nurarihyon no Mago: Sennen Makyō (watched the first season and found it well produced and entertaining. I'll give the second a go) oh, ... and that Penguindrum thing. Curious about that. Will try: Blood-C (I don't generally care for CLAMP's stick figure, insectoid character designs, even though I liked the first Blood+ tv series) Dantalian no Shoka (looks a bit too much like Gosick, but I liked Gosick. Also Gainax, which will make me check it out, at least.) Ikoku Meiro no Croisée (Historical Paris setting intrigues, Moeblob character design - not so much) Kami-sama no Memo-chō (I'm a sucker for mysteries, so worth trying out. Looks a little too Moe though.) Sacred Seven (looks like Saint Seiya - makes me want to see if it's a clone or not) Nyanpire The Animation (the voice acting talent makes me think this might be really funny. I hope this is clever enough to overcome my aversion to flash animation) Will wait for the ANN reviews, otherwise, not likely to watch: Baka to Test to Shōkanjū Ni! (I only watched the 1st ep of the 1st series and then forgot to watch it. Is the second season less forgettable?) Nekogami Yaoyorozu (might be funny. looks promising, but not wild about the cartoony designs, but if it's anything like Ika Musume, I will watch) Usagi Drop (Knowing what I know about the manga ending, I don't want to support the anime) The IDOLM@STER, / Uta no Prince-sama - Maji Love 1000% (These are basically the same show. Is there any plot? Is the music anything other than generic J-Pop? Is it only there for the pretty girls/men? nurrrrr.) Morita-san wa Mukuchi (shows like this bore me to death) Would prefer to be water-boarded: Itsuka Tenma no Kuro-Usagi Mayo Chiki! Yuruyuri Kaitō Tenshi Twin Angel - Kyun Kyun?Tokimeki Paradise!! R-15 Ro-Kyu-Bu! Last edited by tuxedocat on Wed Jun 22, 2011 3:53 pm; edited 1 time in total |

The first season of Nurarihyon constantly shoved Aya hirano's character where she didn't belong to the point that she was made a major part of the finale whereas the manga didn't even mention her in the arc and thats something i found annoying until i found out the old director had a thing for the character. with a new director i hope he can fix that and so far it looks like its headed in the right direction which means i will definetly be watching. in the case of Sacred seven i was thinking the same thing you were so imma gonna watch that. and finnaly usagi drop look like a charming non-pedobait type of show so im watchin that too despite the fact the ending may or may not be

I will check out No. 6 and Blood-C. None of the rest really appeal to me all that much, although I do need to start watching Natsume.
Question for those willing to enlighten me: how do we find out which shows from previous seasons are continuing? They never show up in new season guides. |

This Summer season looks quite terrible to be honest (at least for my taste in anime.)
I thought of watching Usagi Drop, but given how the manga turns out, I am going to pass on that one. While I have nothing against moe (I just don't really care for the genre) it seems like most the shows are mostly moe shows. Maybe more shows will be listed in July or later, that would be nice to see. If not, at least I still have Beelzebub,Toriko. Those series are on going as of now, so at lest I'll have some new anime to watch, so to speak. |

*wistfully yearns for the days when anime as a whole was known for awesome sci-fi and giant robots instead of moeblob nonsense*

For some shows, when they're announced they will also announce how many episodes they are (like, Hanasaku Iroha announced that it would be 2 cour right off the bat) and for other shows the best way to figure it out is to see how many DVDs are planned and how many episodes are on them (which is how I figured out Tiger and Bunny would be 2 cour, there are nine DVDs with two or three episodes each on them which is way too many for a 13 episode show). I've also seen people figure out how long a show will be by checking to see if anything else will take over the timeslot the next season (like for the noitaminA timeslot, since there are already two fall shows lined up I know that the summer shows will only be 11 episodes long), honestly it involves a lot more guess work and digging around than it should. |

Truth is moe has always existed as a large part of anime, we just didn't have a name for it in the 80s and 90s. Think about it: Many Rumiko Takahashi titles, most of the Ghibli library, Sailor Moon along with all other magical girl series, Tenchi, Saber Marionette, Orange Road, Project A-KO, Gunbuster, and many other titles released outside of Japan along with hundreds that never were would all be called "moe" had they been released today. Moe isn't a new concept to anime, the label is. And just like how many of those shows are truly awesome and have stood the test of time, a lot of the modern moe titles are just as good or better. Personally I enjoy moe now just as much as I did nearly 20 years ago. Emerje |
