Kannagi is fucking hilarious, why didn't anyone get me to watch this sooner?

Of that chart only Trigun and Haruhi look that interesting, but without a synopsis I don't know most of that stuff at all.

And that Mai Hime special wasn't that...special. I kinda didn't like it actually.

Spoiler: show

All they did was give Reito shit, but he was only the villain in the series because he was possessed by the Obsidian Prince, since the OP was defeated he's just a normal kid now, he doesn't deserve to be shit on like that.

They do need to get another Hime spin-off out, you can remake that anime a million times and I'd enjoy each iteration. Interesting action system, check. Cute girls, check. Dramatic story, check. Comedy, check. Sure, it's not mind-blowing and new, but it's tried and true. As well, doing what they did with Mai for Otome is badass. First series she's the OP as fuck but naive little girl who wants peace. Second series none of that naive shit, I'm just going to destroy things. They can do the same thing with Arika given how OP her mother was if they did another spinoff. Granted, it'd be a bit silly to have both Mai and Arika be secret monster weapons for a series, you could make it work. Mai was badass but didn't completely steal the series in Otome.

[Man0warr]

Most excited about Highschool of the Dead manga off hiatus plus anime announcement.

Awesome artwork, hope the anime keeps it instead of doing new character designs.

For next season, I'll definitely be watching K-On!, Working!!, Mayoi Neko Overrun, Kaichou wa Maid-sama, and KissxSis

[Wolfknight]

black rock shooter finally!

I don't really care much about the others yet, but this been waiting for that anime yay.[besides Haruhi Movie obivously but we won't get that til fall anyways]
Some of the picture make few look interesting, but I need to know something about them before any plans to watch them.

After trailers beside BRS's, both Angel Beats, and
Mayoi Neko Overrun[besides already gave Nyan Koi, and Omamori Himari chance liked both pretty well] looked interesting enough to give a chance.

[Sylvrdragon]

/shudder... I just made it through the Endless 8 in Haruhi... after the first 4, I just skimmed to the parts that I thought MIGHT change... but they didn't....

For those that pick this series up after me, just watch the first, second and last episodes. I won't say where the change occurs in the last episode, but I can tell you that it DOESN'T happen in parts 3-7.

The only changes in those episodes are camera angles, cloths, whether/where they're standing or sitting in a few scenes, and a couple lines here and there are changed, but absolutely nothing that has to do with the actual resolution of the story. Hell, the lines that changed were probably only because I watched episodes from different subbers.

[Man0warr]

Angel Beats is a new mixed media project written by same guy that wrote the scenarios for all of Key's games (Air, Kanon, Clannad, etc) so it should be pretty good.

The premise sounds kind of crazy though, some school in the afterlife where you go after you die, and they are fighting some battle with God.

[Elcura]

GDI, there's school even after you die? That sucks.

[Sylvrdragon]

GDI, there's school even after you die? That sucks.

You must be young... I think my school life would be considered shitty by just about anyone's standards and I STILL wish I could go back to that shit. It beats the hell out of adult life where you gotta take care of all your own problems.

That being said, I can't even imagine what Japanese school like must be like that they make SOOOOOOOOOO many Animes about it. Aside from "Saved by the Bell", I can't think of any American shows that are based around school (I'm sure there are some, I just can't remember them).

[Rulke]

Welcome Back Freshmen on Nickelodian back in the early 90s was awesome

[avelle]

You must be young... I think my school life would be considered shitty by just about anyone's standards and I STILL wish I could go back to that shit. It beats the hell out of adult life where you gotta take care of all your own problems.

Lol what? I'd rather be working again instead of worrying about homework and other deadlines 24/7. Atleast when I worked, I was relatively free when I get home.

[BadKarma]

Started reading Vampire Rosario. Pretty good.

[Elcura]

Not that young (22), but I would rather work as I do now than ever go back to school. The exception being University, that shit is fun.

[Zilong]

Really, anything short of Valhalla is no afterlife for me :/

[Sylvrdragon]

Not that young (22), but I would rather work as I do now than ever go back to school. The exception being University, that shit is fun.

To each his own I suppose. Maybe it's BECAUSE I had such a shitty school life that I wish I could go back and do it again... (knowing what I know now, of course). That and, I miss the time where every cent of money I made could be spent on whatever I felt like spending it on. I didn't have to conserve money to pay bills and shit. I barely had any dates I had to remember. I didn't have people depending on me for anything. In short, I had no obligations aside from school itself. Work is just a means to an end- one of several steps necessary in securing my life. School was it's own self contained entity more or less (well, not exactly, but compared to Work it was IMO). Also, it was much more likely in school to find other people that fit into my own demographic than it is among co-workers.

[Elcura]

Well, it's not like my (middle school/high school) life was great either, which is why I wouldn't go back. But I like making my own money and being self-sustaining. Not relying on my parents anymore and having my own voice because they don't pay for my rent, bills or food. I also like to be able to pay them back for taking care of me, even if that only means they don't have to spend anymore money on me.
