Summer Anime Season 2013 Preview

Here is the chart for this summer.

Side note: Since no one else seemed interested in working on the preview post I will be doing a shortened version.



Pierrot
Description: Sequel to Kingdom TV series.  
Bern's Thoughts:
Djr7's Thoughts: Was never interested in the first on and I see no reason in getting involved with it.
Pearz' Thoughts: Nope Season 2 stuff.
Ouros’ Thoughts:





Tamayura ~More Agressive~

TYO Animation
Description:
Bern's Thoughts:
Djr7's Thoughts: I didn’t even know there was a first season.
Pearz' Thoughts: More season 2 stuff, plus I hate these slices of life crap.
Ouros’ Thoughts:





Kimi no Iru Machi

Gonzo
Description: Girl moves in with the protagonist’s family and is sure to cause complications as he already has a secret crush on another girl.
Bern's Thoughts:
Djr7's Thoughts: Honestly who knows, it could be decent and I may try it out since there isn’t a whole lot this season that interests me.
Pearz' Thoughts: I hear Kimi no Rage manga is quite popular. I still haven't picked it up though. I think I would Finish reading Good End first if I wanted that kind of genre...
Ouros’ Thoughts:





Gen’ei o Kakeru Taiyo

AIC
Description: Mystery solver of the occult where a girl uses tarrot cards that can read destinies.
Bern's Thoughts:
Djr7's Thoughts: I really love the art, and everything is bright and colourful so why not. It reminds me of Disgaea art.
Pearz' Thoughts: YES YES YES. Time for suffering (I hope).
Ouros’ Thoughts:





Monogatari 2nd

SHAFT
Description: 2 cour series capturing the 6 volumes of original light novel.
Bern's Thoughts:
Djr7's Thoughts: Everyone will be watching this, so you should as well.
Pearz' Thoughts: Who wouldn't watch? I think this will cover the Shinobu arc !!!
Ouros’ Thoughts:





Senki Zesshou Symphogear G

Satelight
Description: 2nd season.
Bern's Thoughts:
Djr7's Thoughts: I’m 50/50 on the first season but I might pick this up. The first season was decent at best, but sometimes second seasons are better, wait, no that usually isn't the case but w/e ill still give it a try.
Pearz' Thoughts: Oh man, this was amazingly hilarious. It wasn't good but how good I drop it?
Ouros’ Thoughts:





High School DxD NEW

TNK
Description: 2nd season.
Bern's Thoughts:
Djr7's Thoughts: BOOBS! I mean, despite it being pretty much all ecchi, I loved the protagonist and how the story was presented in season one, I will definitely be watching this. This is an over the top 18+ comedy but the first season had a great simple narrative to define the character's personalities and their conflicts.
Pearz' Thoughts: I watched all of season 1 and I hated it the whole way. I don't think I can do another season...
Ouros’ Thoughts:



Blood Lad

Brains Base
Description: Vampire obsessed with human world works with a girl to restore her humanity.
Bern's Thoughts:
Djr7's Thoughts: This was suppose to have come out a few seasons ago but w/e, it still looks interesting and I will give it a shot.
Pearz' Thoughts: Previously I said I would give it a shot, I changed my mind.
Ouros’ Thoughts:





Love Lab

Dogakobo
Description: Girls at an elite school with a variety of characters including tsundere.
Bern's Thoughts:
Djr7's Thoughts: Tsundere is good, but that is all i’m seeing, so I might take a look at the first episode.
Pearz' Thoughts: Don't people get bored of watching these slice of life?
Ouros’ Thoughts:





Inu to Hasami wa Tsukauyou

Gonzo
Genre:
Description: abused mystery commedy about a boy being resurrected as a dog and taken care of by a sadistic novelist who uses scissors on him.
Bern's Thoughts:
Djr7's Thoughts: Sounds entertaining as hell, it also sounds like it could go horribly, horribly wrong, but I do find it interesting and maybe it'll worth a look or two.
Pearz' Thoughts: I already watched the first episode. Though it is funny, I don't think it is for me.
Ouros’ Thoughts:





Dangan Ronpa Kibou no Gakuen to Zetsubou no Koukousei

Lerche
Description: Super high school students are locked in a high school where graduating means killing others without being discovered in order to get out alive.
Bern's Thoughts:
Djr7's Thoughts: I’m currently reading the “game” as it was a psp game similar to 999 but with much less gameplay solving, the story is amazing and this will be the best show this season most likely. I wonder if they will change anything from the game in terms of how people die and in what order.
Pearz' Thoughts: Sounds interesting, I'll give it the 3 episode rule.
Ouros’ Thoughts:





Watashi ga Motenai no wa Dou Kangaete mo Omaera ga Warui!

Description: Slice of life gag comedy about a girl who enters high school and finds its not easy to become popular like her eroge games.
Bern's Thoughts:
Djr7's Thoughts: I think Bern got me into the manga, I read a little bit of it and it was quite funny so I think i'll give this a try. That being said, I’m really only going to watch maybe the first episode only because I read a little of the manga..
Pearz' Thoughts: I cringe so hard reading this manga, yet I subject my self to that torture willingly.I think I am an M. But no, I don't think my body can handle this.
Ouros’ Thoughts:




Gatchaman Crowds

Tatsunoko
Genre:
Description: People are selected to use custom robo suites to fight off aliens..
Bern's Thoughts:
Djr7's Thoughts: It sounds like a crossover between Symphogear and Infinite Stratos, buuut I might give it a try.
Pearz' Thoughts: Giant robots fighting Aliens? Sign me up.
Ouros’ Thoughts:





Fate/Kaleid Liner Prisma Illya

Silver Link
Genre:
Description: Spinoff of fate/stay night characters where Illya is a magical girl.
Bern's Thoughts:
Djr7's Thoughts: ….honestly who came up with this idea and gave it an anime, its rediculous and I won’t bother with it.
Pearz' Thoughts: Oh man, I already but the scale for her before even reading the manga. I can't drop this show now!
Ouros’ Thoughts:





Maki Ouji: Devils and Realist

Dagokobo
Genre:
Description: Nobel with fund issues accidently summons a devol who believes our protagonist is a descendant tasked with choosing the next ruler of Hell as Heaven tries to interveen.
Bern's Thoughts:
Djr7's Thoughts: Oooooooo, this actually sounds interesting, totally gunna take a look at it
Pearz' Thoughts: Maybe, it depends on when it airs and if I feel like trying.
Ouros’ Thoughts:




Hakkended Season 2

Studio DEEN
Genre:
Description: Second season.
Bern's Thoughts:
Djr7's Thoughts: I tried watching the first season, but It never really stood out enough to keep me coming back. I don’t think I will go back and finish it tbh.
Pearz' Thoughts: More season 2 stuff.
Ouros’ Thoughts:





Kamisama no Inai Nichiyoubi

Madhouse
Genre:
Description:15 years since the dead stopped dying and people ceased to be born, a young girl who is a gravekeeper is tasked with giving the would-be-dead peace. One day a man comes into her village setting fire to everything and shooting people indiscriminately. A schocking truth is then revealed.
Bern's Thoughts:
Djr7's Thoughts: Sounds awesome, usually when a description includes a “shocking truth”, it often turns out to be rather dull, however the idea of the dead not dying and humans not being born sets up quite the fantastical setting. Definitely going to give this a shot.
Pearz' Thoughts: Maybe 1 episode to hook me...
Ouros’ Thoughts:


Overall It's not as big of a line-up as last season but there are still a few here I will be watching. My order of preferences is: Dangan Ronpa, High School DxD, Kamisama no Inai, Blood lad, Kimi no Iru, Monogatari, Gen'ei, and the rest if I find time.
