Summer 2012 Anime Lineup
[url=http://i.minus.com/i7sI3HGZs7SCf.png]Version 1; completed chart will be released in about 5 weeks.[/url]
*these are not all the series that are going to be aired in the summer*
»[b]Sword Art Online:[/b] using artwork from Working!'s artist. It's probably the adaption on this chart with the best potential.
»[b]Imouto ga Iru:[/b] using artwork from CUTEG. Get back to working on Zenryoku Otome, dammit.
»[b]Lagrange S2:[/b] more maru.
»[b]Senjou no Horizon S2:[/b] more OST.
»[b]Tari Tari:[/b] Looks like Tamayura.
»[b]Muv-Luv Alternative:[/b] mitebcool
»[b]KoiChoco:[/b] Seems like it'll be a solid adaption considering it's by AIC Build (SWII, P4, Amagami)
»[b]Aruvu Rezuru:[/b] ehh, Zexcs isn't that great with adaptions/original works...
»[b]Hakuouki:[/b] Looks cool.
»[b]Kingdom:[/b] Might be good, but the fact that it's by Pierrot makes me think that it'll turn into a pile of donkey crap.
»[b]YY S2:[/b] Where is it? I thought it was already confirmed for summer.
»[b]SYD OVA[/b]
»[b]Ika Musume OVA[/b]
»[b]Code Geass OVA[/b]
Looks like summer won't be utter garbage like 2009/10! Definitely not the best line-up, but it's a lot better than previous summers.

*Probably not, since Maeda won't be working on it
[header]Little Busters! has been confirmed to be animated by J.C. Staff[/header]

[quote=VAVA]negotiations broke down with Kyoto Animation. Because Kyoto Animation esteems itself in the creation of very high quality works, they are sworn only to animate one project at a time. But at that particular time their line-up was already booked out by Pony Canyon and Kadokawa.[/quote]
Wow, what a load of crap. I would rather wait an extra 2 years for KyoAni to free up its schedule than have a second-rate studio ruin a great VN. Hell, even PA Works (animated Angel Beats!) would have been leagues better.

[quote=malapo]Oh I see. o.o[/quote]
The people who did watch it watched the whole series the same day though. I'd assume they liked it. Would have been a success if it weren't for the harsh regulations at the high school I used to attend ;w;.
[quote=malapo]JC Staff doing Little Busters. Not a good thing according to some.
Did your club like Cromartie high school? [/quote]
Anime club got disbanded due to the idiocy of the Club President. Now we're just hosting random parties at his or my place when I'm back home.
There will be blood if Geass isn't delivered.
[quote=Sqooblesv2]By the way, will Soul Eater ever continue?[/quote]
They're DONE with the anime. Manga is ongoing.
Boo, no Gintama. Stayed with us barely a year and it floats away again. In any case I guess this is time to catch up on animes I haven't seen yet. Doesn't look like anything is to my tastes.
Wasn't To Love-Ru Darkness finally adapted as an OVA?
[quote=yumtoast154]Most anime series are broadcasted late at night when children are sleeping.
Also, massive censorship.[/quote]

[quote=JPanda]Wait-- To Love-ru Darkness got the green light for an anime? How much are they able to show on Japanese TV? o.o
I read a few chapters, but it seems [i]waaaaaay[/i] too ecchi, even borderline "H" in some cases o.o[/quote]

Code Geass.. and please be new season of angel beats
@yumtoast154 Thanks once again, yeah doesn't seem like this series has a lot of demand just yet
@bleachedguy: [url=http://www.baka-tsuki.org/project/index.php?title=Sword_Art_Online]Here're volumes 1-8.[/url]
Volume 9 was released in mid-February, but I'm having some trouble finding it since no one wants to scan 3xx pages.
[quote=yumtoast154]The light novel is a pretty good read, too.[/quote]
Didn't know it had a light novel, I'll go check it out thanks
@Demonlord: Your opinion. I loved Angel Beats!. There haven't been many animes that sparked my interest in a while.
@yumtoast154: I'm not into that tsundere crap. I just enjoy the story.
[quote=bleachedguy]Looking forward to Sword Art Online, been reading the manga it looks like it has a lot of potential[/quote]

[quote=ho1yxxcleric]Only thing that is interesting is the Angel Beats! rumor and Oreimo. Rest are garbage.[/quote]
What's the appeal of Oreimo again?
Is it the moemoekyun/tsundere stuff?
[quote=bromguardian]Well sorry if you got a response that you didn't like. It's an open forum; learn to deal with a conflicting opinion. And I've yet to see a thread relating to summer that hasn't been about video games or Japanese garbage, so until the day comes where someone on this site actually decides to break out of their socially-awkward, beta shell, the criticism will continue.[/quote]
The same applies to you: sorry you're so intolerant of others' posts. Why are you even on Basil if you hate the thread topics/people? If you like trolling/attacking people, 9gag would love you.
Only thing that is interesting is the Angel Beats! rumor and Oreimo. Rest are garbage.
@bromguardian: Again, you're implying things that are incorrect. And do you actually believe that watching 50 hours of anime spanned over 3 1/2 months will take up all the time one has to spend with friends/family?
If you don't want to discuss anime, no one is forcing you to post in this thread. If you want some place to vent/attack others, PM me and we'll talk there.
Fairy tail movie. Isn't that their first?
not to interested in this line up honestly >: and winter wasn't to great it had a few good ones though such as "Another" although I really do hope some day they make a season 2 for Angel Beats.
LITTLE BUSTERS ANIME ADAPTATION GREEN LIT <3
[quote=bromguardian]You're looking forwards to the summer for anime? Really?
This doesn't even surprise me, actually it's what I've come to expect from this site.[/quote]
You're implying I don't look forward to every season, and nowhere in my post did I say I was looking forward to the new season.
>hurrdurr I alwayz haet summar bcuz new
hmm nothing in the list really interests me :
on the other hand, oreimo s2, little busters, and angel beats? that i'm looking forward to
[quote=malapo]Looking forward to
Sword Art Online
Little Busters!
OreIMO S2
Madoka Movies
Koi to Senkyo to Chocolate
Hyou-ka
Accel World
edit: brb[/quote]
LITTLE BUSTERS AWW YEAAAA~
La storia della Arcana Famiglia is the only one that seems appealing to me. Only cuz it seems dark with a deeper story...
Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha the Movie 2nd A's!
I can't wait for Sword Art Online. <3
I hope Hakuouki 3 is good...I heard the 2nd one wasn't that great and I haven't finished watching it yet. =w=
what about mai hime Z
What about Autumn 2012?
eh, I thought winter 2011-2012 was bad x___x" spring 2012 seems worse as well as summer
@MokasFan: HOTD won't be getting a second season any time soon because the manga is on hiatus. There isn't enough to adapt/animate from the manga, IIRC.
@espada19: When did I ever say FMA:B was bad?
[quote=yumtoast154]Kore wa Zombie Desu ka S2 airs in the spring; this is the summer lineup.
The World God Only Knows won't be getting a third season for a long time due to low sales.[/quote]
Noooo I want my Tenri season D:
The summers gonna be boring
What the heck is with that Kikanashi Thomas o_o
Wouldn't really know what to watch for this season.
[quote=TheZigen]when is kore wa zombie desu ka coming back
