Summer was the season of slice of life, and this seems to be the season of action! Lots of sequels for many different genres, promising originals, and a handful of popular adaptations.
My "will watch" list:
Kyoukai no Kanata - KyoAni doing a full on supernatural anime? YES YES YES. I saw the PV for the light novel a while back and I wished to god that there was going to be an anime adaptation and it happened. The anime PV showed some bits of SoL which is fine. You really can't separate KyoAni and that genre, they just do it too well. Needless to say I'M PUMPED!
Galilei Donna - I've noticed a trend since I started watching airing anime that I tend to love all the noitamina slot series, so I'm going to stick to my guns and say this one isn't going to disappoint either.
Samurai Flamenco - Pretty much the same reasons as Galilei Donna. The director was also involved with a ton of great anime across different genres so I'm looking forward to it.
Yozakura Quartet: Hana no Uta - Oh yes. While the original TV series was subpar, I looooooooooooved the OVAs. The animation was just 10 steps up from the TV series, it was great. The studio that's doing this is also the ones that did those OVAs, so I am very much watching this. Also btw, the entire PV is taken from clips in the OVAs. Not sure why they would do that but whatever. I'd love to see some new footage to get hype
Magi S2 - Granted I only skimmed through S1 because I read the manga, the PV for S2 showed one of my favorite scenes in the manga so far so I'm pumped to see more of that.
Coppelion - Another one from the studio that did K and Mardock Scramble. The plot seems interesting enough and the PV looks great so I'm in for the most part.
Golden Time - An adaptation from the same author of Toradora. The art style looks very different from Toradora but it still looks great. I'm definitely pumped for this.
Nagi no Asukara - School in the ocean? That's new. The PV looks gorgeous and with all the action this season I need a little SoL to balance it all out, so this seems like the perfect candidate.
Diamond no Ace - I kinda want to give a baseball series a try, and considering this is a collab between two great studios, I'll check it out for sure.
Log Horizon - Dual sword-wielding cat? I am in.
Non Non Biyori - Tagged as seinen, which interests me. I always love a good SoL as well so I'll be giving this a try.
Yowamushi Pedal - Why the hell not. Another sports anime that looks interesting, and it's biking too!
Kill La Kill - Trigger's TV debut! While I loved Little Witch Academia, the art style for this looks much different, and I'm not entirely sure that's a good thing. But I have faith that it'll be great, or not. Either way I'm watching it. xD
Ansatsu Kyoushitsu OVA - Well this is a pleasant surprise. I read a few chapters of the manga a few months ago and I thought it was pretty hilarious. Definitely going to watch this.
My "might watch" list:
Gingitsune - I've never heard of this studio before so I'm not sure how it'll be, but if it has vibes similar to Mushi-shi and Natsume Yuujinchou then I'm all in.
Pupa - After seeing the fall chart I decided to read the manga because it looked interesting, but I tend to not like Deen all that much. The whole brother/sister thing is weird, but the intensity of the relationships with the different characters is nice and it gets reeeeeeeeal dark too which is always a plus. If animated right it'll be really cool. Fingers crossed.
Arpeggio - Man, I really want to watch this, but I really dislike when a show is animated entirely in CG. In their defense however, I watched a few bits of Re:CYBORG and the animation was GREAT. but I just don't think I can stand it in a TV series. I'll still try it but ehhhh....
Tokyo Ravens - The premise doesn't sound too alluring, but the animation in the PV looked nice, and this is the same director that did Zombie Desu ka so it can't be bad, right?
Kikou Shoujo wa Kizutsukanai - The PV looks really good. I'm actually surprised seeing as this is the same studio that did Danganronpa. Definitely going to give this a try, but I'm not sold on the plot in the description.
Blazblue: Alter Memory - I'm gonna check this out purely off the hype. I've never played the games but I've heard good things about them.
Yuusha ni Narenakatta - Damn, the whole Demon Lord/Hero thing is really popular nowadays isn't it? This is really low on my expectations list, but I love magic and this takes place in a magic shop so I might give it a go if I don't get my magical fix this season.
What is everyone else excited for? ANIME HYPE LET's GO!
Buriki and PA is a fine studio. I guess it might not suck.
