List v2

Will Watch
TARI TARI - Visuals look great, character designs (girls) are cute, it's seemingly a slice-of-life, possible romance. Really looking forward to this.
Kokoro Connect - Apparently it's a "love and teen pentagonal comedy". Great visuals and a few notable VAs made me put this on my PTW list.
Koi to Senkyo to Chocolate - Nice VA cast and seems like a good slice-of-life with romance.
Sword Art Online - Jumping on the bandwagon. Plus, the premise seems interesting.
Arve Rezzle: Kikaijikake no Yoseitachi - Trying to get into sci-fi stuff.

May Watch
Jinrui wa Sutai Shimashita - Will only watch if I'll be editing it for EveTaku
Campione! - Not really my cup of tea so it's only a possibility right now.
Kono Naka ni Hitori, Imouto ga Iru! - Will only watch if incest isn't present/it is not a prominent element.
Dakara Boku wa, H ga Dekinai. - Probably going to be another ecchi comedy.

New additions (as long as it is funny and not overly fanservice~y, it will do. Anything else, will need to get a feel):

- Kokoro Connect > seems like an interesting premise
- Joshiraku > internet says it's humor based
- Binbou-gami ga!


Too many OVAs to list, so I'll just exclude from the above. Basically if it is related to an anime that I have watched, I'll just pick it up.

Sword Art Online
Binbou-gami ga
Kokoro Connect
Tari Tari (please don't let this be Hanasaku Iroha 2.0)

Might try:

[shiraoky]

Spoiler for Kokoro Connect Ep. 1:

LOL, This seems like a cute series. The art~<3 And aww it's only 11 minutes long? D: Time to wait...x.x So far I like Himeko best<3

[RegalStar]

Spoiler for Kokoro connect ep 1 first half:

It was more fanservice than I thought, but it's otherwise as good as I expected it to be (based on descriptions alone). Will definitely follow this one more.

[imbehindyou]

Not planning to watch a lot this summer, need to prepare myself for fall season anime!!!!!!!

- La Storia Della Arcana Famiglia
- Jinrui wa Suitai Shimashita
- Chouyaku Hyakusin Isshu: Uta Koi.
- Hakuouki Reimeiroku (need to pick up where I left off on season 2 first, though.)
- Natsuyuki Rendevous

Hmm. I'd been planning for long time to watch Moyashimon but it never happened. Someday I'll get to it, someday...

[xcrossfacekillahx]

I'll probably watch less anime than expected because I might forget the carry overs from last season.

[Kiopi]

I have only 3 words for Campione...

Spoiler:

Unlimited Blade Works LOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!!11111!!!!

Okay...make that 4.

Anyway...that bout of drunkenness is truly amusing.

[shiraoky]

Spoiler for Tari Tari Ep. 1:

Okay. Reflectia was in there. You don't know how much I freaked about that. I ended up singing along half the time before realizing how I knew that song LOL~ And all the characters are pretty interesting and cute :3 Konatsu is cute too. Haha, I love how she just realized that everyone was staring at her sing at the end lol. But the song was cute :] I think I'll enjoy this a lot.

[kanohistorm]

Spoiler for Jinrui wa Suitai Shimashita Ep 1:

Story told through the heroine's perspective as a Liaison between humans and fairy.
Village is faced with a mass shortage of materials.
Strange activities began to unfold and the heroine goes to investigate it with her assistant and grandpa.

Not really sure what I just watched, but I like it and will continue with the anime.
episode rating:8/10

Spoiler for omega wtf:

[JLoable91]

Okay, let's revise

Spoiler for Jinrui wa Suitai ep.1:

The protagonist is kinda cute. It's 'different' as well but seriously...
WHAT'S UP WITH THAT BREAD!

Spoiler for Tari Tari Ep.1:

Ooh, I'm already loving this one, and like Shira-tan said, Konatsu is cute!~
And lol at the True Tears op choir-version. XD

Spoiler for Campione Ep.1:

I could start ranting but I'll keep it short.
2 words: Not again...!

Spoiler for Arcana Famiglia Ep.1:

First of all, awesome OP is awesome! XD
And Lolz Luca=Gilbert? I'm already liking him~
The plot itself is also interesting, especially these Arcana powers.

Btw, why are there so much Italian-atmosphere-anime? XD

[akumaxx]

Let's start mine-sweeping.

Resisted: "Chitose Get you!!" due to lack of time.
It seems that Estetica is heavily fan-serviced, like Queen's Blade. There is even a collaboration promo video that proves this.

[Jeffrey-sama]

Spoiler for TARI TARI - Episode 1:

First off, Reflectia <3 (I'm sure many people noticed that).
The OP and ED were really awesome, too~
I really like Miyamoto because of her energy and cheerful personality.
This seems like it's going to be the music version of Hanasaku Iroha (also by P.A. Works) which may interest me more since I wasn't really into the whole "working at an inn" thing.
Really good start for TARI TARI!

[xcrossfacekillahx]

Spoiler for TARI TARI Episode. 1:

Good art, good music. Something tells me I'm gonna like this.
Reflectia!

[kanohistorm]

Spoiler for Tari Tari 1:

GREAT SET UP episode for the anime
thumbs up

episode rating: 9/10

[loudmouth]

Spoiler for Tari Tari 1:

That was the fastest I've gotten attached to a cast since Chihayafuru. I have high hopes for this series.

Spoiler for Jinrui wa Suitai Shimashita 1:

That was...amazing. I'm not really sure what to think about it yet. It's set in the distant future, after the world's resources have been all but depleted, and it follows the story of a village trying to survive and find meat to eat rather than processed bread and crap. Some outrageously random stuff out of nowhere too. I'm interested.
