Spring 2011

And a random InuYasha/Alice in Wonderland crossover pic ^,^

Now, it is time for the spring anime series/movies list! Seems pretty promising to me, because there are a lot of anime I want to check out. At least, far more, than the Winter season. Now, I’ll move into the list, and will leave the rambling part to the end of the post. Nyaaa~

Sket Dance

3 highschoolers start a club called Sket-Dan, which is devoted to helping anybody, who has a problem. Though, the club remains unpopular, for some reason.

Genre – Comedy, School, Shounen | Release date – 7.04.2011

Producer – Tatsunoko

I’m getting into Shounen too much, lately.. I wonder, why … ^^” But anyway…. I’m soooo watching this! I’m not expecting anything exceptionally epic or awesome, but it seems like a pleasant, slice-of-life anime, that you can just watch and relax. Also, a pretty good seiyuu list attracts me too. Like Tomokazu Sugita(Nova, Hideki, Kanata and my precious Takenagaaaaa~!) and Yoshino Hiroyuki (Firo, Kimblee, Heisuke-chan(he would kill me if he heard, what I call him -____-‘), Brief and my favorite nerd ever, Ox!!! catchy name, huh? :3). Can’t wait, can’t wait !!!! >3<

Steins;Gate

Steins;Gate is about a group of friends who have customized their microwave into a device that can send text messages to the past. As they perform different experiments, an organization named SERN who has been doing their own research on time travel tracks them down and now the characters have to find a way to avoid being captured by them. (Wikipedia)

Genre – Sci-fi, Adventure | Release date – 5.04.2011

Producer – White Fox

When I watched the first couple of seconds of the PV, I was like “Miyano Mamoru will be here?!” I didn’t even look into the seiyuu list oO” And yes, he will be appearing in Steins;Gate.  As well, as Hanazawa Kana and Kobayashi Yuu. And this anime is a MUST in this season for me. The storyline seems interesting, the art looks pleasant and the music….. I just LOVED music in the PV!!!!!!!

I’m definitely checking this out, because I don’t even know, what to expect from this No, really. The story is pretty typical for the Sci-Fi anime, I think, but I will still check it out. The lack of information about this release intrigues me as well :3

Fufufufufuuu~ I suddenly remembered Angel Beats, how hyped I was about that anime, and how much I was disappointed in it. Well, I only watched the first episode, but literally nothing was able to grab my attention. You will probably think I’m crazy. I’m not saying it was bad, it just didn’t mix with me well enough. However, I am gonna watch this. The art is amazing, just as I’d expected, and I wouldn’t mind another positive slice-of-life anime. + a very promising staff. Itou Kanae FTW :3 O’tanoshimi da yoo~

Ao no Exorcist

This world consists of two dimensions joined as one, like a mirror. The first is the world in which the humans live, Assiah. The other is the world of demons, Gehenna. Ordinarily, travel between the two, and indeed any kind of contact between the two, is impossible. However the demons can pass over into this world by possessing anything that exist within it. Satan the god of demons, but there’s one thing that he doesn’t have, and that’s a substance in the human world that is powerful enough to contain him!! For that purpose he created Rin, his son from a human woman, but will his son agree to his plans? Or will he become something else…? An exorcist? (MAL)

Who might….. wrestle with a deer ?! oO” And why does that robot hide a rollcake in his arm? Eeeh? Oo” But even in this chaos, students of this school still live a normal life.

I thought, I would check it out, but my interest is growing weaker. The art is just too much for someone like me to handle. I like cute stuff, but this is a bit overboard for me ^^” I’ll still have to think hard about this one…

I am going to check that out. I know, I will be killed for that but I want to watch something girly/sparkly/bubbly/stupid from time to time. + I love figure skating, so….. If this will have decent enough art, animation, characters that aren’t too irritating, then I think, I will watch this. Let’s see. )))

Genre – Fantasy, Supernatural, Shounen | Release date – 2.04.2011

Producer – Aniplex

When I first saw this, I was like “Errrr….. ok.kay ^^” next one..” but when I looked into the seiyuu cast…. Nana Mizuki, Miyano Mamoru, Hikasa Yoko and other really nice seiyuu like Horie Yui and others. Then, I watched the PV. And then I finally reconsidered… We’ll see about this, then.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hmmm…… I think, that’s about it for this season…. you must have noticed, that I didn’t publish all the upcoming anime here. That’s because I published series that caught my attention at least a little bit. And let me tell you…. that’s a LOT of series I have here oO” I’ll have to note, that this Spring’s list is GINORMOUS! It’s the biggest list I have ever seen. Well, I’m in anime community only for 2 years, and I completed only one full year considering the seasonal releases list, so that may not be so surprising. However… it’s still really big O.O

I would be glad to receive feedback! Please, comment and tell me, which anime will you check out or watch! ^^ Nee~??
