So when is that new code geass coming out and why hasn't anyone been saying anything about it?

people said a ton of things about it when it was announced, and people have stopped saying things about it cause there's basically nothing to say until it airs

people said plenty, in the dedicated code geass thread. perhaps nobody is saying much in other threads because we have a dedicated thread for code geass discussion?

and also yeah, there's no air date confirmed. for all we know it could be 2018 like the new season of cardcaptor sakura.

Definitely checking out LWA, Konosuba s2, Maidragon, Chaos;Child, and maybe will finally start on s1 of Rakugo. Also suffering through Tensho Ruins Rewrite: Part 2. Will probably end up trying some other shows too.

50 seconds of MaiDragon anime. Not a ton to go on, but I like how it looks in color/motion.

New PV for maidragon. I might end up giving this show a shot, based on the PV alone.

I don't want to go on living the boring life of a celestial forever.

Hm, this season has a lot of safe picks, but I usually end up watching at least one show that's off the radar, wonder what it'll be this season.

As a granblue player I'm basically locked into at least catching a couple episodes of the anime, but for now I'm also planning on checking out:

LWA
konosuba s2
Demi-chan
maid dragon

e: also the yuyushiki ova will be good

I'm the lead trumpet player, playing loud and high is all I know how to do.

My take from the MaidDragon PV is that it's a wish fulfillment show where you reduce your daily commute time by 95% via riding a flying dragon to work.


Sure, I'm on board.

I'm still a little surprised by the fact that they gave Kobayashi pink hair. She just doesn't seem like a pink hair character.

She's always been pink-haired on the covers of the manga, I think. I can see it, she seems like the type who might dye their hair a weird color.

Second season of the Ao no Exorcist series.

Is the first season of this any good? It looks like it might be a fun brainless shonen romp, I'm just wondering if there's anything offensively terrible about it.

Since she was very young, Kasumi Toyama has always been searching for the "Star Beat", a sparkling and exciting sound she heard while looking up at the night sky. Just after getting into high school, Kasumi comes across a "star-shaped guitar" in the storage area of an old pawn shop. Feeling a rush and excitement she has never felt before, Kasumi teams up with four other girls and embarks on a journey to seek out the shiny place. We promise to perform a live here!

I watched the PV that introduces the keyboard girl, and the first thing that went through my head was, "Oh hey, that's the K-On keyboard sound".

In 1912, a young woman tracks down the elderly Nagakura Shinpachi, determined to hear the true story of the Demon of the Shinsengumi, the Vice Commander Hijikata Toshizou. Hijikata's story begins in 1859, when he is a violent young man that is honing his sword skills while peddling his family's medicine. Soon, in his quest to find stronger people to fight, Hijikata starts to come into contact with others who will eventually be his comrades in the Shinsengumi. The first one to make an impression on the brash young man is Kondo Isami, who proves to be a better fighter than Hijikata.

After reading the synopsis I was not expecting that art style.

Blue Exorcist was OK, but I heard it did that BONES thing of derailing into a not-very-good anime-only arc at the end.

blue exorcist is merely okay, but the first anime ended just before a couple of big flashy arcs.

Ao no Exorcist is pretty much standard shonen - it's got some decent fights, some great side characters, and a kind of meh protagonist. The female characters get a bit more screentime than in most shonen (probably because it's written by a woman,) but that's really the only big thing it has over any other b-level shonen.

The bits I saw of it also included a little more teamwork than the shonen standard, which was a refreshing change. It looked as good as BONES's shonen adaptations usually do, too, which was nice.

Hey, "totally generic shonen anime but written by a woman" gave us Kekkaishi and D. Gray Man. It's a very tenuous connection to quality but this is still the first thing that's given me a glimmer of interest on Ao no Exorcist. :v:

Also worth noting is that April is about the time Jojo season 1's Toonami broadcast ends and a slot opens up, so a simuldub broadcast looks likely, especially with the rights being secured and announced this early.

I will probably start the dragon thing and the witch thing and then forget halfway through, end up with a backlog and despair. Speaking of which, I need to catch up on Flip Flappers.

And wait until more things are aired and somebody recommends something that turned out to be good. So I can forget about those too. Seriously, I am terrible with keeping up with things.

I am hopeful that the Demi-chan adaptation will be good, Maid Dragon should be good, and Nyanko Days makes me think of Nukoduke and Puchimas so unless it has some dark and terrible secret, it's got that going for it.

And that's the shows that I am somewhat interested in and will watch an episode or two of before falling behind and they get added the my massive backlog.

I Failed At Anime 2022
Finally! a season I don't want to watch a dozen shows, maybe I can get caught up on everything I haven't watched in the last two.

Probably just going to do second seasons -- Rakugo, Ao no Exorcist, Super Lovers. I'll eventually get around to LWA but will probably wait til after the season considering how behind I am on everything I wanted to watch in Fall.

Super-late edit: skipped over ACCA in the list of shows and forgot it was this season, that's a definite watch for me
