Manga is behind the anime at this point I think.

Google for Oreimo Novel summaries, theres a guy that does them on his blog.

Is it the Seanver Anime Blog? I found it as well. If anyone is interested in what goes on in the light novel (obviously with massive spoilers) you can click on over to http://seanver.com/2010/08/24/index-...nai-summaries/

Saori is the obvious 'omg she's been rich all along?!' character that is kinda rare but still around from time to time in various things. I doubt there is a whole ton of shit going on behind that other than dressing up like a nerd to live a normal life among the friend group she enjoys hanging out with and dressing them up in cosplay she can afford to have made specifically for them >.>

Kirino getting pissed at the game char for acting exactly like her was hilarious, I sense a deep-rooted psychological thing here though >.> She probably doesn't know how else to act around Kyosuke... guess that's the typical tsundere issue isn't it?

Also, Kuragehime 6 was super, I can't believe how underrated this series is. I felt soooo bad for the older brother after he got home D:

I was really shocked to see Toshio go out like that If he doesn't Rise (or not die) and team up with Natsuno, I'll be really depressed. He deserves his revenge on the Shiki for destroying his village and family. Though with basically the whole village turning into Shiki, its really hard to see what the point in exterminating them will be. Unless theres some miracle cure at the end, theres hardly any point in stopping them now. Hopefully we find out soon about Toshio, Akira, and Kaori. Looking forward to the end of this series.

I was under the impression it's the 3rd bite that kill you, not the first one.

Anyway..am i the only one who hate Toshio? Not only did he screw up the village badly by not contacting outside autorities, his general attidude annoy me.

Man why is Bakuman so low :> Such an awesome show/manga and it's almost page for page adaption.

I suppose shows like that never sell well on DVDs. No moe, mecha, or fanservice.

What Dantrag said, and probably this:

Keep in mind that moé-otaku tend to pre-order the most so the non-moé shows may be in a very different order when the sales are counted.

Anyways, I'm not sure if this was posted, but here's a Winter 2011 Anime Chart:

Spoiler: show

Winter season looks pretty bad to me. Only things that look good are Kimi ni Todoke S2 and Beelzebub. And maybe Gosick, since it's Bones and sounds interesting.

[Kaylia]

Fucking loli... Bring back the ban please.


Fractale is the only anime on that list that I'm planning to watch. The synopsis make it sound interesting and based on the art we have seen, it looks pretty.

"In the world of Fractale, they have a system called Fractale System (フラクタル・システム). It creates everything human needs to survive in the world without working. The system has been running for thousands of years and nobody understand how it works anymore. Most people believe that's the sign for brings everlasting happiness. The story starts from a small island where the Fractale System crashed. The main character - a teenage boy named Crain (クレイン) saved a girl named Phryne (フリュネ) who was running from something but fell from a cliff. Crain is happy to meet this girl but Phryne left a brooch and had disappeared without saying anything. Crain starts to look for her based on the information inside the brooch. During the journey, it is when he find outs more and more secrets about the Fractale System."

Lots of boring shit . Kimi ni todoke looks like something i should have downloaded before though.

[Cjskater]

Fractale and Beelzebub, everything else is going to be shit.

[Insanecyclone]

Votoms and Queen's Blade OAVs are the only interesting things.

[JigglyJam]

Fractale looks like it might be interesting, I might check out wandering son and of course will have to continue kimi ni todoke and mitsudomoe; mitsu will probably be my favorite again.

Kore wa Zombie Desuka?Trailer (Winter Season)

[Xno Kappa]

Future Diary would own if they animate the whole series.

[Maguspk]

So many lolis, jesus shit.

[Ker]

I would be excited for Beelzebub but it's done by Studio Pierrot*Bleach, Naruto and Letter Bee* that means a lot of fillers and possible animation mistakes.

Fractale is the only anims in that list that I'm planning to watch. The synopsis make it sound interesting and based on the art we have seen, it looks pretty.

I have faith in Yutaka Yamamoto with Fractale but the 3 chapters of the manga which is suppose to be a representation of the series is very moe and ecchi.

PS the manga designs look different from anime ones.

[Kaylia]

Lame. Hopefully its nothing too bad. I need at least one serious anime per season...

[Silenka]

Gosick looks good, and Bones rarely does wrong though it does happen (*coughstardrivercough*)
Fractale will probably be decent. Other than that, ehhhhh. Rest looks like crap. I'll probably watch the brother complex one just cause incest amuses me but it looks stupid too. =( Oh well, we shall see. Some of the stuff I thought I might not like this season I ended up really liking (especially Kuragehime)

[Zilong]

shaft get free pass on madoka, everything else is though

Edit
Lotte no Omocha!(What the character designs will look like).

I can already tell this will be a mega hit in japan with the Loli, Moe and Otaku crowed.

-Director Oizaki Fumitoshi (Romeo × Juliet)
-Character Designer Ootsuka Mai (Shakugan no Shana, Hanamaru Kindergarten)
-Series Composition Akao Deko
-Composition Cooperation Shinbo Akiyuki (Bakemonogatari, Maria Holic, Sayonara, Zetsubou-Sensei)
-World Visual Designer Okama (Evangelion: 2.0, Welcome to THE SPACE SHOW)
-Animation Production Diomedea (Shinryaku! Ika Musume, Kodomo no Jikan)

Diomedea used to be called Studio Barcelona and it's the studio that did Kodomo no Jikan.

GoSick

semi reminds me of occult academy, wonder if it will be as good though!? O_o

[Kaylia]

Gosick looks good, and Bones rarely does wrong though it does happen (*coughstardrivercough*)
Fractale will probably be decent. Other than that, ehhhhh

I was planning to give it a shot simply because it's Bones, but unlike almost everything they did before, it doesn't look very interesting to me. Well, I said the same thing about stardriver before watching it so meh...we will see.

[Silenka]

Now that I saw the preview, Gosick looks like ... Rozen Maiden char design smushed together with Petshop of Horrors (monsters and mysterious gardens) and dash of Chrno Crusade (1920s architecture) with FMA-type animation, all glossed over by an icing of Sherlock Holmes. Should be... weird? lol
