**Zalrik21** · 2012-07-07 02:03

I know the season has just started and not everything has had its first episode out yet but who wants to take bets on what shows are going to be the top "must see" for this season?
For drama/romance I'm picking: Natsuyuki Rendezvous
Comedy/parody: Binbogami ga!
Action:Sword art online/Muv luv alternate? (Don't see much else to put here since the others are on season2 and I haven't seen season1 lol)
Surprise/hidden gem: Koi to Senkyo to Chocolate or Jinrui wa Suitai Shimashita
Also can't wait for the Code Geass OVAs' to come out

Dog Days Season 2 Ep1

Sword Art Online Ep1

That was a pretty fun episode. They juggled a number of characters and different groups pretty well for a first episode, and handled the exposition parts well. It'll be interesting to see where they go from here, and death factor was a pretty clever way to tie the characters together without spending the episode itself trying to artificially build relationships between them immediately.Next week should be FUN.

Sword Art Online

Well, here is this season's troll bait. Very good so far. I'm a sucker for the premise.

Aside from the extra KnK chapter, it sounds like there will be a remake of Tsukihime. Not sure on all the specifics, but if someone can translate the tweets here, have at it.

I love character progression based anime and Sword Art Online is amazing and it's going to continue being amazing. It has a seriousness to it that will make the progression and decisions have alot more meaning. Now off to see if there's any manga to this.

Alright there's 6 chapters to the manga it seems and something left out in the anime or i completely missed it. All of the players are being transported to hospitals with the nerve gear on so that's how they'll survive.

That's would be pretty cool. I need to get back to Tsu someday, only finished one route, but god was the whole thing dragging.

Sword Art Online certainly didn't waste time. Was interesting from start to finish, and I can only imagine the shit that could happen. There's a chance the middle part could suck if they do it wrong, but so far I'm impressed with it.

Kokoro Connect I found pretty entertaining. Had no idea they would be using body swaps as their main plot device, but the characters are fun to watch together even though they're all clear archetypes.

Mahou shoujo in my fate stay night?! (´￢`)

Hagure Yuusha no Estetica looks to be interesting... especially uncensored ( ﾟДﾟ)

with more yuri action.

Oda Nobuna no Yabou Ep1

This was pretty good. Not only the animation was expressive and fluid, The variety of vibrant colors, the detailed backgrounds, etc. The character designs themselves aren't as impressive but they fit in really well with the rest of the world. The music was nice too and the script isn't half bad for a stupid harem, especially if your comparing it to Brains Base god-awful "Sengoku Collection".

Muv-Luv Alternative: Total Eclipse Ep 2

Now this what I'm talking about. There really isn't much I can think to say on this point, so I'll just say that it really has been one all-around fantastic episode, with some incredibly impressive bits to boot. Really enjoying this and hopefully they will keep the deaths and suffering coming.

Total Eclipse 02

Sword Art Online is the type of anime I always thought would make a great idea. I hope it's not as turtle paced as .Hack, it doesn't seem like it judging from the first episode. I think the only other similar anime I've seen was Tower of Druaga but it wasn't too amazing of a series either.

**Mrbeansman** · 2012-07-09 06:57

So total death and suffering, business as usual for Muv Luv?

**Skai** · 2012-07-09 08:38

Hagure Yuusha no Estetica 01
I'm liking the protagonist a lot. Super badass who can steal underwear without removing clothing? Fuck yeah! My must follow of the season. And oh yeah, boobs.

Dakara Boku wa, H ga Dekinai 01
Love the dude that voices the main guy. His work in BakaTest was hilarious. Fun to see him voice a pervert. MORE BOOBS!

Bibougami ga! 01
lol at the fortune and misfortune examples.

vegeta what does the scouter say about her fortune level!?

speaking of muv lv

Spoiler: show

**Xanthe** · 2012-07-09 18:30

SAO looks to be the action pick this season. I've liked the virtual MMO concept since .hack did it first, and they've already made it different in that the threat is very public and very real for all players rather than something looming in the shadows. Looking forward to more!
