So Log Horizon is finished, and it was very good. Solid 9/10, even though they sort of dropped the whole "trapped in a game" thing, in a way. It's more like it later turns into just "stuck in another world", but using the fact that it's a game as explanation for certain things and events. It's still very interesting, it's just that you don't get nearly as much focus on the "common" gameplay aspects of MMOs as much as you do at the start of the show. Also, second season has been announced for Oct 2014, meaning that unless the author puts out 3 more novels during that time (I think s1 covers the first 5 novels, and then there are 2 left uncovered), the series will most likely take on an anime original route, which may very well turn out horribly or good.

IIRC, the creator of the series is actually a huge MMO-fan and gamer himself, which clearly shows throughout the series. |

So, which spring anime are you guys looking forward to? For me: Gokukoku no Brinhildr: The mystery and scifi side to it seem interesting and it's by the same writer as Elfen Lied. Trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eSqrbeqRcJM Akuma no Riddle: Not a particularly ground breaking idea but it has a nice style to it and it's done by a proven director -- Keizo Kusakawa, best know for Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha (A's and StrikerS). Trailer: http://youtu.be/CboNeTHAr0A And I'll check out the ones being made by Gainax, Bones, and Madhouse. Oh, and here's a preview of all the upcoming anime: http://anichart.net/spring Edited by Shadow Dragon, Mar 22 2014, 02:39 PM.

Black Bullet, Date A Live s2, and Soul Eater Not are the things I'll be keeping an eye on. |

Oh boy, long post incoming... This'll be more like "what do you think of the spring season" in general, as I have most of the shows that'll air during this time on my list, and will (hopefully) watch as many of them as I can, while they're still airing (too lazy to post trailers and PVs here tho). ALSO, realised I had this after I typed this entire thing, but this one is more up-to-date, so w/e... You can use that for some reference tho, since I was kinda lazy with a few shows on this list. Shows I'm REALLY excited for: Hitsugi no Chaika (Coffin Princess Chaika): Loved the key art, synopsis sounds decent, made by Bones, AND SAITO CHIWA! Gotta watch this, yo. Black Bullet: Saw key art. Got hyped. Saw first PV. Hype remains. GO GO GO! Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei (The Irregular at Magic High School): Another one of the shows I was super hyped for before there was like, any info on it at all (unless you read the LNs), and the hype is still here. Hopefully it can live up to it. Also, Madhouse. Shows I'm somewhat excited for: Mekaku City Actors: Now THIS is interesting. Based on the stories of "Kagerou Days", which in turn are based off of the series of songs from Jin (Shizennoteki-p). I love the songs, and I think it'll be really interesting to see how something like this turns out (only other show I know that's based on a song is BRS, which I also love). Also from the director of Madoka! No Game No Life: Seems pretty cool, and the art seems very... vivid, I guess. Also, made by Madhouse, which is awesome. Still get the feeling that there will be incest, however. Gokukoku no Brynhildr (Brynhildr in the Darkness): Seinen mystery anime. PV also looked pretty cool, and synopsis sounds ok, so that's basically it. Akuma no Riddle: Action AND yuri?! Well, from what I've heard, the manga is pretty fucked up in a ton of ways, so this is gonna be cool. Selector Infected WIXOSS: Didn't know about this one until a couple of days ago, but I'm pretty excited for it nonetheless. Supposed to be psychological, which I love, and J.C. Staff is a pretty good studio, so I have pretty high hopes for this one. Shows I think will be decent/a bit above average: Ping Pong the Animation: This is an odd one for me. It'll be the first (and maybe last) sports anime I'll ever watch. A lot of people say this is a REALLY good manga, even if you don't like sports, and it has some pretty intriguing side-stories, and all of that, so I guess it might at least be worth checking out (who knows, maybe sports anime are really interesting...). I also wonder if the art will be like shown on the image on MAL, cuz that could be cool. Ryuugajou Nanana no Maizoukin (Nanana's Buried Treasure): Don't really know too much about this one either. The synopsis sounds decent enough, but at the same time, I still don't really know how I feel about A-1 studios making a comedy show (cuz they don't seem like the type of studio suited for that). In either case, we have Hanazawa, so it at least has some redeeming qualities, in worst case. Hopefully it's funny enough, tho. Sidonia no Kishi (Knights of Sidonia): Sounds like your standard mecha anime, really, but it's also tagged seinen (it's actually not tagged mecha, which is funny). I'll check it out, and hopefully it's a lot more than your standard mecha series. Break Blade (TV): Still didn't watch the movies, so I'll prob end up watching this as it airs, and if it's good enough (or maybe even if it's shit), I'll watch the movies. Kenzen Robo Daimidaler (Daimidaler the Sound Robot): Robots vs. Penguins, yo. Ecchi, tho. Escha & Logy no Atelier: Tasogare no Sora no Renkinjutsushi: Synopsis sounds good, not tagged harem, but this is another show I've heard NOTHING about, so there's really not much to go on. Soredemo Sekai wa Utsukushii: One of the few shoujo anime on the list. Seems decent enough to give a try, but not much more than that at this point. Shows that will probably be pretty mediocre or just plain bad / stuff I don't know enough about / everything else that was on the list: M3: Sono Kuroki Hagane: Not much info here either. Looks more like a "realistic robot"-type of mecha, than super robots, but in reality, I'm mostly intrigued by the picture. Sudden Death: A SOL-anime, made by Gainax. There's like no info on this, but the title together with the synopsis is sort of interesting, so... Fuuun Ishin Dai☆Shogun: Synopsis sounds kinda weird, and so far "historical mecha", haven't been something I've enjoyed overly much, so we'll really have to see... Gochuumon wa Usagi Desu ka? (Is the Order a Rabbit?): This looks so cute. What more can you ask?! Mahou Shoujo Taisen: This will prob be a short-episode series, like Pupa or Wonder Momo, but hopefully a lot better than both of those... Mangaka-san to Asssistant-san to: The synopsis pretty much tells us right away what type of comedy to expect, but I'm at least gonna give it a shot... Isshuukan Friends. (One Week Friends): I think this will be a short-episode one as well. Possibly a bit like "Tonari no Seki-kun". These are nice to watch now and then, but you shouldn't really expect anything great from them. Kanojo ga Flag wo Oraretara: First part of synopsis sounds pretty cool, but then it kinda goes downhill, especially seeing how it's also tagged comedy. Captain Earth: Could be good, could be shit. Hard to tell, since I haven't seen "Star Driver" either... Seikoku no Dragonar (Dragonar Academy): More ecchi stuff. Now, as I read the synopsis again, it actually doesn't sound all that good at all, so I guess we'll really have to see about this one... Blade and Soul: Based on some Korean MMORPG (of the same name). I remember seeing a PV, and the animation looked really good, so if nothing else, there's that. Bokura wa Minna Kawaisou (The Kawai Complex Guide to Manors and Hostel Behavior): This just screams of cheap sex jokes, but I'll give it a try. Also, Hanazawa. Kantoku Fuyuki Todoki (Insufficient Direction): Know absolutely nothing about this one, except for the fact that it's a short-episode show. EDIT: Only reason I do not have "Soul Eater Not" on this list is because I've yet to see the original series, which I'd want to do before watching any spin-offs.

Sudden Death does have my interest piqued simply because of the idea of Gainax doing slice of life. As such, I'm expected there to be more than meets the eye, to have some type of twist. Especially when the show is called Sudden Death. |

For me it's more that I don't like Gainax. At all. I can't think of a single thing from this studio which I actually liked. In fact, out of their biggest 3, I pretty much hate 2 of them (haven't seen Eva yet, so). Still tho, I want to watch Sudden death because, 1. I want to know about the whole thing with the title!, and 2. a SOL/comedy show from Gainax might actually be decent, instead of an action-anime from Gainax... |

Black Bullet and Hitsugi no Chaika mostly. Then maybe Mekakucity Actors, because hikikomori. That manga assistant thing looked pretty good, until the part where the synopsis mentions breast grabbing and shit. Probably still gonna check it out to see if it's as obnoxious as I expect it to be. Doesn't seem like an amazing season for me to be honest. |

Assuming one of those is future best girl, her feelings for him will (apparently) play a HUGE role in the upcoming season. |

Nureha, yes. Also, fun fact: Not only is she supposedly best girl, but (even though she's not even in the cast list on MAL) she's actually voiced by none other than Saito Chiwa! |
