[Metaler]

Spoiler for Yuru Yuri S2 - 1:

Fuwa Fuwa~

This is what I've been waiting for, man. Cuteness overload. How I survived the ep is beyond me.

Finally got to see more of Akkariiiin~

Spoiler for Muv-Luv Alternative: Total Eclipse Episode 1:

This is so gonna blow Rinne no Lagrange out of the water.
Good CG, what I expect from this series.
Not as good to begin with storywise but I hope this picks up. This might have another story from the VN so might as well touch up on that.

"When the BETA first arrived in Japan in 1998, 36 million people were dead within a week. By 2001, the world population has been reduced to 1 billion people, and most of Europe and central Asia have been wiped out. The Soviet Union, though, is still around, operating out of Alaska. The world on brink of destruction. Luckily, they able to hold out for 33 years later but situation not much better."

I won't drop this. Might recommend to others who are mecha fans.

I guess people here aren't as excited for this than the other series.

Spoiler for Hyouka Ep. 11:

Houtarou finally finds out Irisu's purpose.
But... it's not satisfying.
Who's talking online?

Spoiler for Arcana Famiglia Ep. 1:

Is this an otome one? Winning a wish and the girl?
Will keep tracking.

Jinrui wa Suitai Shimashita: Looks like a landmine. Hold.

Spoiler for Tari Tari Ep. 1:

Music is S-. The plot seems... interesting.
Good.

Spoiler for Total Eclipse Ep. 1:

Graphic is good.
Story seems to be prequel of related game. (and possibly less related)
Tracking.

[Sedon]

Too many good animes to pass~ Hopefully the art isn't misleading

[Sedon]

Okay.. Imma start with the summer animes~

Expecting more from this!

Spoiler for Jinrui wa Suitai Shimashita Episode 1:

[shiraoky]

Spoiler for Koi-Choco Ep. 1:

Aww that was a cute first episode lol. And what the heck, Yaoi sticks? LOLOLOL. Man, that made me laugh so hard, especially when "Ooshima" broke it LOL. And the little "play" that they pulled in public was funny too x3x3 So far, I think my fav will be Satsuki<3 I have an obvious feeling that she's going to lose though -.-" Rawr. Oh, and that beginning surprised me O.o What was going on there...?

I might think whether to continue watching this or not

Spoiler for Koi to Senkyo to Chocolate Episode 1:

"Why are you coupling me with him "
"So, what are your feelings, Yuuki-senpai?"
"About what?"
"Weren't you listening? Its about how much you can eat.. my yaoi stick"

I could somehow imagine some ISML members saying that line!

and gahhh! I am starting to like Michiru the moment I saw here <3

there's a big chance I might be watching this

Starting a club because you want yourself to and having five members with 3 girls and two boys.. wonder why I thought of that anime?

"This one's on you"
"Why?"
"Because you laughed"

Might as well try this irl :3

Spoiler for Kono Naka ni Hitori, Imouto ga Iru! - Episode 1:

Your typical harem plot with girls acting illogically, weak/useless/perverted MC-kun, and a questionable premise. Still, I found it oddly entertaining watching the girls, each of whom strictly represent one a popular archetype, interact with MC-kun. While the incestuous aspect of the show is a bit kimochi warui, the cute character designs do make up for it slightly.
Censoring was expected; the use of a black shadow instead of a beam of light in some scenes made it bearable.
Overall, the episode was average and what you'd expect from a typical harem.

[RegalStar]

Spoiler for Binbo-gami ga! ep1:

What a funny show that was. I could make out HanaKana's voice instantly, but it's refreshing to hear her pulling off all sorts of antics in this kind of role she doesn't seem to normally get. Everything else are just random and funny. Definitely a keeper.

[shiraoky]

Spoiler for NakaImo Ep. 1:

Uwah, looks like some other confusing, surprise ending harem anime. .__." (Maybe like MashiPhony or Akane-iro or something). So wow, this is just going to be a big "Who is the Imouto?" guessing fiasco o-o" Well, I'll keep up with it for now.

After a few scanning:

Spoiler for Jinrui Suitai Ep. 1:

Nah, it's a lol landmine. I may watch now.

Hold(acceptable).

Spoiler for Uta-Koi Ep. 1:

But this is not interesting.

Landmine.

Spoiler for Kimi no Iru Machi OAD 2:

Haruto has to think over his relationship with Yuzuki... again. He's afraid of hurting her again.
It's good that they finally meet, with misunderstanding wiped out.

It seems that there is crossover during this OAD.

Spoiler for Koi-Choco Ep. 1:

The main part is giving out the main route...
What is that at the beginning and the end?
And censor light, duh.

Accept.

Spoiler for Natsuyuki Randezvous Ep. 1:

Given these facts that:
- Aired as noitaminA.
- One of the main charas is a ghost.
This is NOT Anohana and it steps on my berserk trigger.

Resisted.

[Mr. Large]

Just finished watching Sword Art Online ep 1 and I have to say that along with Champione, it's the most interesting this season.

Spoiler:

Seems really cruel to lock up 10,000 people in a virtual world. I wonder how they keep their physical bodies alive in the real world?? Do they all have to go to a hospital to be taken care of?? Also, the girl looks like she'll probably be in ISML 2013. Can't wait to see her show up in the next episodes.

So far "Dakara Boku wa, H ga Dekinai" and "Kono Naka ni Hitori, Imouto ga Iru!" are okay, but nothing else has really caught my interest so far.

[shiraoky]

Spoiler for Sword Art Online Ep. 1:

Man, my expectations were definitely met. Actually, this was higher than my expectations. Then again, I wasn't really sure what this was going to exactly be about. But the "consequences" in this game and the "stakes" are definitely higher. (I'd probably die in like 3 minutes of being in that game...) And man, seeing Kirito and Klein leave each other made me all sad :[ I think this is definitely going to be one of the better animes of this season. Yay!<3
Plus at least the protagonist of this series isn't lame.

[JLoable91]

Sword Art Online looked really good, as well as the rest of Kokoro connect's first episode.

But I noticed something...

Spoiler:

Kokoro Connect ----------------------------------- Sword Art Online --------------------------------- Tari Tari

Spoiler for My answer as to how it works (spoilerish indeed risk yourself) Sword Art Online:

The game uses a helmet that can send and receive brainwaves in order to shut down some of your physical movement in the real world and immerse yourself into the game which includes the 5 senses.

The lead programmer apparently decided to troll the ten-thousand players by excluding a "log-out" button, trapping their consciousnesses in the game. To make things worse, if anyone tries to force the helmet off or the helmet is left unplugged for more than two hours, or gets tampered with and such, it will fry the brain of the player. And, of course, if the player dies in the game, their brain will get fried as well. The programmer tells them that they need to have at least one person make it to the top floor of the world and beat the boss in order to free everyone. As of where the main duration of this story is, they only have a few more floors to go, and they've been going for 2 years, with only 6000 players left.

Spoiler for Kokoro Connect Ep. 1:

This is funny lol. Another nice slice-of-life along with Tari Tari~ And so next time, 3 people switch bodies. And they still don't know how to get back to normal. There's too many factors...and lol at the glasses girl who walked in on Taichi in Iori's body lol. And lol, i wonder what Himeko told Iori to make her react that way? XD And Himeko's question to Taichi was hilarious too. XDXD Looking forward to this~<3
