New shows start up next week, so I figure it's about time we had this topic. I'd post an image of the shows this season, but I can never find reliable ones, so a link to the ever-reliable Anichart it is. http://anichart.net/summer I've already done my draft pick with my buddy this season, although we did it with a twist this time. When we split up all the shows, we picked for each other instead of for ourselves. It was kind of nice; instead of being all pissed off because ended up picking all the awful shows at the end, we had a pretty good feeling about "gifting" each other some of the most anticipated series this season. I ended up with: Bakumatsu Rock Barakamon Sailor Moon Crystal Hanayamata Black Butler: Book of Circus Love Stage!! Momo Kyun Sword Nobunaga Concierto Psycho Pass New Edit Version Rail Wars! Seirei Tsukai no Blade Dance Shirogane no Ishi Argevollen Tokyo Ghoul Zankyou no Terror I forced him to take all the idol anime, and while I was doing that he fed me all the fanservice/harem anime. I fucking hate those kinds of anime, but at least my impressions articles for them are usually entertaining due to my overwhelming rage. |

>Free! and Ilya got second seasons Magnificent Psycho-Pass New looks likes a waste of time if you've already seen the show. Maybe just Kantai Collection and Sailor Moon for now. There's a lot of stuff that looks good but even if I find out they're worth a watch I'll never get around to them more than likely. |

I am probably inappropriately excited for Sailor Moon Crystal. The only other thing on that chart that seriously interests me is SAO2 |

Hard to say. Especially since last season I only thought I'd pick up a show or two, but I ended up picking up like 7 or 8. +the ones I was continuing. |

I'm actually excited about several of them myself. Most of the list my friend dumped on me is stuff I wanted anyway, aside from stuff like Momo Kyun and Seirei Tsukai. Argevollen might suck too, what I've seen so far just looks like generic mecha anime #49. Oh, and BB, I'm still hoping the new Psycho Pass might be interesting in the way a Director's Cut of a film is interesting. But I guess we'll see. I was honestly hoping I could give it to my buddy, since he hasn't seen Psycho Pass, but he ruined that for me. I think because he already bought the Blu-Rays for the series, and just hasn't watched them yet. In addition to my obligated list though, I also want to watch: Aldnoah Zero - For the Urobutcher. Dramatical Murder - A friend of mine played the visual novel to death, and suggested it to me. Free! Eternal Summer - Free was a pretty fun series, so I'm down for a continuation. I'm just worried how it'll do once divorced from the "Why is Rin a douchebag now?" arc. Sengoku Basara Judge End - The third game had the best story, so I'm actually kind of excited for this. Space Dandy S2 - Viva namida! Tokyo ESP - Because it sounds absolutely stupid, and therefore it might be amazing. |

So I caught the first episode of Bakumatsu Rock yesterday. I was unimpressed up until the moment where the main character finally started playing his song. Then . . . well I don't want to spoil it, but holy shit. If all the rock music vs idol music battles look like that, I'm sold. It's like a magical Basara is doing his thing in old Japan. |

Tried Sailor Moon and Rail Wars so far. Sailor Moon was okay. Obviously for now I'm just here for the nostalgia until best girls start showing up, but they do a good job with background and character art so its nice to look at at least. Rail Wars was pretty amusing. A bit much on the boob service but it seems like it could be a fun little occupational comedy, kinda like Servant x Service was. |

I'm watching both! A friend of mine has been recommended Love Stage because she read the manga, and I loved the last season of Free. |

I can't read that list at all but I'm glad to see Sidonia do so well. Of the rest I probably enjoyed Chaika and Dragonar most. How was Black Bullet? |

It was alright. Though the only really good character was the guy in the mask and his daughter. It's the type of show where you literally wish 99% of the humans would get killed. And the MC is a boring gary stu. Sidonia I've heard is also doing pretty good on Netflix as well. Chaika was entertaining, but needed more. Luckily the final episode confirmed S2 is airing in the fall. I thought people were exaggerating when they all said blue Chaika was a slut, but haha, oh wow. |

Funny seeing screens of the masked dude fighting the MC made me curious about it but everyone says its super bad outside of him. Just another SAO/IS Gary Stu party. |

The Manabi line is basically the # of units per volume that something needs to sale in order to actually see a profit. Basically if it doesn't sell the 2,899, it's pretty much a flunk and financial failure. At least Chaika got lucky, in that it's second season was already greenlit and in production for a while. |
