Winter 2013-2014 Anime Preview
Better freaking late than never! Sorry for the late winter preview but I was so burned out with work so I didn’t really have enough time to release this on time (lol what?). Thanks to Sid my co-blogger at Anime Anthology, he supplied all the pictures and data on this winter preview while I provide the notable staff/cast and the additional PVs. Without him I won’t be able to release this. Now on to the preview!

Psycho Pass will have a 2nd season and a movie
Well, well there are a lot of great news this past couple of days. What the hell maybe the world is ending wwwww. Anyway earlier the twitter of Yamamoto Kouji, chief producer of NoitaminA announced that “Psycho-Pass” will have a second season and a movie. With that I think the 2nd season will most probably end with a cliffhanger or it’ll be open ended just like the 1st season. Btw here’s the tweet of Yamamoto-san after the jump:
After a couple of hours they’ve released a trailer where we could hear Akane Tsunemori narrating several quotes from the first season and it ended with “SIByL still continues…”
Wow…I just can’t wait for more Psycho Pass and Butch Gen messing up my mind wwwww. About the movie well, it’ll probably a LONG wait again sigh…
until then…

Through her and the other residents, he learns who he is and what he wants to do.
Rinne no Lagrange OVA, Season 2 PV & Ep 1 Screenies
Yep I know some of you might have already seen these PVs but I just want to share it…
Holy crap I just can’t contain my excitement!! I want to watch this OVA to satiate my hunger for more Lagrange until season 2 comes on July. Base on the PV of the OVA, I’m confused if it’ll fill the time between the first season and the second or will the story be the continuation of the second season since on the first part you will see that Madoka is graduating while the later parts we see Madoka piloting Vox Aura since if I remember correctly Vox Aura isn’t working anymore at the end of season 1. So maybe it’ll be the continuation of season 2 but it just doesn’t make sense…releasing a continuation of season 2 before it airs. Oh well what ever as long as I could watch it I’m already satisfied :). As for the game, errrrrr I commend the bouncing oppai wwwwwwww. On a serious note it looks like it’ll be a fighting game similar to the Nanoha fighting games or Tekken(?).

What might raise more than a few hairs, however, is that the founder of the club is the ghost herself. Unable to remember how she died and trapped in the grey land between life and death, Yuuko latches onto Teiichi Niiya, a freshman who can inexplicably see her, and together they and the other unsuspecting members of the club begin to unravel the many dark mysteries that surround Seikyou.

Spring 2012 Anime Preview
Chidori3souse
A whooping 41 shows this spring season but I included kiddie shows and shows that promote toys. Who knows maybe some of you dear readers, fancy those kinds of series. Despite the inclusion, we still have around 34 shows and that’s still a lot.
Ah its already summer in this end of the world then that signals that in the northern hemisphere, spring is about to come (and that means new animes yey!). I already spot some interesting shows but still I’ll try the first few eps of most of the series airing since I might find some dark horse in those unpopular shows (wwww I learned my lesson).
In this season preview, I added notable staff and seiyuu to help you guys gauge if a series has some potential or if you fancy some seiyuus just like me that make you want to watch that show. I didn’t add those in shows that promote toys and kiddie shows since it’s a very daunting task and most of you guys would just probably skip it. I hope this new feature helps!
Now on to the spring 2012 anime preview!

Ano Natsu de Matteru–9 & 10 (Quick Post)
That was one of the best confession I’ve seen in a while. Made me go ‘KYYYYYAAAA!!’ while grinning like an idiot.
Black Rock Shooter–05 (Quick Post)
Hell yeah! Here comes Insane Black Rock Shooter! My body is ready!
Rinne no Lagrange–06 (Quick Post)
This week’s episode of LagRin is so Maru~ Maru~ Maru~!!!
Ah so this is what the title is about….Rinne no Lagrange the flower declaration of your heart. Seems like it could be activated with the amount of emotion the pilot experiences in this case Muginami’s words that have hurt and pissed Madoka.
Guilty Crown 16–Quick Post
Lots of shocking revelations this week….btw sorry for the crappy screencaps I got impatient and downloaded the 368p ver of this episode.
*Shu’s Evil Laugh*
Oh wow…Shu is starting to be a psycho with questionable morals but honestly I can’t blame him since he just lost a very kind girl (that we both loved) but what shocked me the most is this…

Fall 2011–First Impressions
Mhmmm I owe you guys an apology since I wasn’t able to post anything for the past couple of months and you already know the reason is school ,school and school. I still owe you reviews for the spring and summer shows and I’ll work on them little by little and most probably I won’t review all the shows I’ve watched during those seasons instead, I’ll just review shows that I think would need some reviewing. My vacation is coming to an end so expect that those reviews would be released slowly. I’ll make it a goal to review 1 show per week (oh gosh wish me luck *smacks self because of lack of time management skills*).
So far the shows this season is really good specially with much anticipated shows like Fate/Zero, Guilty Crown, Shana and Persona 4. Still, there’s these shows that seems interesting at first but when you watch you’ll find it disappointing but surprisingly from all the shows I’ve picked up there are only few shows I have issues with.
I’ve listed the shows I’m following this season and it’s arranged according to my rating of the shows so far.
Kyoukai Senjou no Horizon
Mobile Suit Gundam AGE
C³ CubexCursedxCurious
Ben-To
Shakugan no Shana III Final
Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai
UN-GO
Persona 4 The Animation
Guilty Crown
Fate/Zero
Mirai Nikki
Silence is Golden
