Love Live! School Idol Project 2nd Season - My most anticipated show of the season. Nico nico ni!

One Week Friends - Everything I've seen so far makes it look like something I would really enjoy.

Even So, The World is Beautiful - Fantasy shoujo romance? Yes, please! I really hope this lives up to my expectations.

No Game No Life - It's pretty and I have a weakness for otaku characters and meta stuff.

Is the Order a Rabbit? - Runs in Manga Time Kirara Max, along with Kin-iro Mosaic (the MTKrr family is home to many good slice-of-life manga with anime adaptions. Hidamari, K-ON!, Achhi Kocchi, A-Channel...)

selector infected WIXOSS - I want to know what's going on with that trailer.

Nanana's Buried Treasure - The animation is nice and Noitamina shows are good more often than not.

Lady Jewelpet - I've never followed the franchise, but I thought I'd give this a try. It sounds like a solid magical girl anime.

Mekaku City Actors - Curious what Shaft can pull off with the premise.

Ping Pong the Animation - It comes highly-recommended, and I enjoy a good character drama.

If She Triggers a Flag - Like I was saying, I've got a weakness for meta jokes. Could be a guilty pleasure, if it doesn't get too fanservicey.

Captain Earth - Mecha isn't really my thing, but I'm a huge fan of the writer and director.

Magica Wars - Only because I give all magical girls a shot. Doubt it'll be good, though.

This is yaoi (not that there's anything wrong with that).

BL. 'Yaoi' would mean it was porn.

The World is Still Beautiful had a decent first episode. I feel like it's a little more silly than it needs to be, and it had a couple of pretentious fanservice jokes that weren't all that funny. Other than that I thought it was pretty good.

Sekai's direction and humor remind me a lot of Fushigi Yuugi, but the heroine is x100 better. Nike is awesome.

Captain Earth had an excellent first episode. I loved the way it used small triggered flashbacks throughout, rather than a prologue or one large flashback.

I think I'll keep watching WIXOSS for now. People are comparing it to Madoka, but I think it's closer to Rozen Maiden. Either way, the series has plenty of its own ideas. I like the grandma a lot.

Kawaisou - Meh. The constant background text annoyed me. So did the characters. Pass.

One Week Friends - This is going to make me cry, isn't it? Watch.

Love Live 2 - μ's music, start! Watch.

Flag - Everything felt rushed. Apparently they covered the entire first LN in episode 1. Pass.

Magica Wars - 3 minutes of mild amusement. Watch.

Black Bullet - A middle-of-the-road action series. Pass.

NGNL - I liked the plot, so I'm tentatively going forward. Will be dropped if it gets too skeevy. Tentative Watch.

Chaika - A lot better than I was expecting. The weapons are pretty awesome. Watch.

Rabbit - Watching this makes me feel all warm and fuzzy. Watch.

InuNeko - Annoying. Pass.

Nanana - Indi-Nana Jones? Watch.

Ping Pong - It's certainly well-made, but I don't think this show is for me. I've never clicked with sports anime. Pass.

Add everything by Gonzo except for Gankutsuou, and all marvel anime and we'll have enough material for years.

Hey, Kaleido Star was above average for a kids' show. Don't go lumping it in there with Gantz.

It's pretty common within nerdy gay crossdressing circles too so I'm not really seeing how it's such a bad slur.

It's transphobic.

In the interest of being on-topic here's a list of shows from this season that are both pretty decent to watch and mostly fanservice-free:

Mekaku City Actors
Isshukan Friends
Hitsugi no Chaika
Ping Pong
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (unless fabulous burly men counts as fanservice)

Your list is missing Love Live!

It's WORSE than 4Kids. Even they wouldn't have changed the first aid kit or the objects in the time capsule.

There are a bunch of us who are nostalgic over the original Japanese version, too.

The Love Live! rhythm game for cellphones has an English version out now. I'm really enjoying it. While there's an option to buy extra energy in the store, I've been playing about an hour a day with just my free daily amount.

There's a wiki for the game here.

Wasn't Tenchi pretty much the first harem series? They're going to milk that cow until it bleeds.

I think Urusei Yatsura counts as harem, and it came long before Tenchi.

I hate the way dub voice actors tend to over-enunciate. Every. Word.

It was a poll from some random as gently caress Japanese anime website, internet polling does not match with reality either way. It's all about the DVD/BD sales.

Yup. And the second season of Love Live! is going to blow everything else away in sales numbers.

What the gently caress.

Have a picture of an idiot buying tons of ingame currency for the Love Live game (by KLAB INC):


Wow. That's $1206.59 at today's exchange rate. I'm feeling guilty about shelling out $10.

Fate/Zero, Hyouka, and Humanity Has Declined. There's three more LN adaptions with good pacing.
