Most of this shamelessly and quickly borrowed from madp

The Lineup


["You'll be my first I drink from--my blood calls out for it."

BLOOD LAD
7/7 (Sun) 24:30 tvk

Dir. Shigeyuki Miya (Buzzer Beater, Supernatural), Comp. Kenji Konuta (Library Wars, Haitai Nanafa), Prod. Brains Base (a lot of things that look a lot better than this)

There was no attempt made to optimize the material for animated format whatsoever; this is basically Blood Lad: The Manga: The Anime. Definitely feels like something for a young adolescent audience--conspicuously 2kool4skool slacker protag, a pair of huge tits masquerading as a sidekick, lots of EVERYTHING IS FUNNY IF YOU SHOUT IT humor. Watch Uchouten Kazoku instead.

"A forbidden sibling 'love conflict'!"

BROTHERS CONFLICT
7/2 (Tue) AT-X 19:30
7/2 (Tue) Tokyo MX 24:30
Dir. Atsushi Matsumoto (Persona Trinity Soul, Night Raid, lol.), Comp. Natsuko Takahashi (Moyashimon, Togainu no Chi, Traitor Knows My Name or whatever the hell people call that in English), Prod. Brains Base (Drrr, PenDrum, Natsume)

The heartwarming story of thirteen identical siblings clamoring to see who can be the first to jam their dick into their sweet and trusting adoptive sister. Not even the Studio Pablo backgrounds could make this watchable. Watch Uchouten Kazoku instead.

"Want to graduate? Kill a classmate!"

DANGANRONPA: KIBOU NO GAKUEN TO ZETSUBOU NO KOUKOUSEI
7/4 (Thu) 25:35 MBS
7/5 (Fri) 25:55 TBS
Dir. Seiji Kishi (Persona 4, Devil Survivor 2, Humanity has Declined, Carnival Phantasm), Comp. Makoto Uezu (School Days, Is This A Zombie, Humanity has Declined, Carnival Phantasm), Prod. Lerche (Carnival Phantasm)

With NISA bringing the game over, there is no reason to watch what is, by most accounts, yet another Kishi butchery of a video game adaptation. Watch Uchouten Kazoku instead.

"Shining stars above! Glittering eternal crystal! In the name of the holy infinite stardust, show me your true form!"

FANTASISTA DOLL
7/6 (Sat) 27:28 MBS
7/7 (Sun) 24:00 Tokyo MX
Creative producer Goro Taniguchi, Dir. Hisashi Saito, Prod. Hoods Entertainment

I'll have something here once I watch an episode.

"An off-the-wall tale of a girl led on by 'Fate'!"

FATE/KALEID LINER PRISM☆ILLYA
7/6 (Sat) 22:30 Niconico
7/12 (Fri) 25:30 TV Tokyo
Dir. Shin Oonuma (ef, BakaTest), Comp. Kenji Inoue (BakaTest novels), Writer Hazuki Minase (C^3 novels), Prod. SILVER LINK. (BakaTest, inexplicable punctuation, not hiring a single writer who's ever worked on anime before YOLO)

It's your average otaku-targeted magical girl show--cram in tons of smut under the laughable pretense that you're subverting or parodying the "purity" of shows in the genre that are targeted at kids. There's not even anything for weirdoes like me who watch things BECAUSE they're directed by Oonuma--Watamote is where he's really at this season and this is just a paycheck. Only endure this if you really have a thing for albinos or loli armpits. Watch Uchouten Kazoku instead.

"Grasp the future, 400 meters ahead."

FREE!
7/3 (Wed) 24:30 Tokyo MX
Dir. Hiroko Utsumi (shared AD credits on the K-on! and Haruhi movies), Comp. Masahiro Yokotani (Maria+Holic, Maou-sama), CD Futoshi Nishiya (Nichijou, Hyouka), Prod. KyoAni (I really shouldn't have to fill this in)

It was already the most entertaining show of the season weeks before it aired due to the sweet, salty tears of entitled/homophobic male otaku crying over KyoAni making a show for someone that wasn't them. So far, it's a fun bromance with superior production values (ofc), plenty of UPPER BODY, and *gasp* actual female characters.

"In 2013, Gatchaman soars to new heights!"

GATCHAMAN CROWDS
7/12 (Fri) 25:58 NTV
Dir. Kenji Nakamura (C, Tsuritama, please forget when i was hyping him for C), Comp. Toshiya Ono (Suite Precure, Tsuritama), Suit design Koji Nakakita (Wandaba Style, Dancouga Nova), Prod. Tatsunoko (Sket Dance, C)

If you were like me and weren't sold on the first episode, keep watching. Nakamura proves again that there is (usually) method to his madness and that the most unlikely of characters and concepts can bear rich thematic fruit. Still, if you're expecting anything like the Gatchaman of old, Regulus Tera said it best: "95% Hajime doing Hajime things, 5% robot suit action."

"This is the eternally-recurring battle of girls who shoulder that unescapable destiny."

GEN'EI WO KAKERU TAIYO or, il sole penetra le illusioni or in English this time, The Sun Penetrates The Illusion
6/27 (Thu) 24:00 Tokyo MX (Episode 0)
7/6 (Sat) 23:30 Tokyo MX
Dir. Keizo Kusakawa (Campione, Loliball, I guess doing Sekirei gave him all the tits he ever needed), Comp. Michiko Ito (Loliball, Hentai Ouji), Creature design Hiroyasu Oda (Dog Days, Nanoha movies), AS Harume Kosaka (Humanity has Declined), Prod. AIC (R-15, Acchi Kocchi)

There's no way that I can improve on what Mandoric said so here you go: If you've ever been wondering how long it takes for an original anime to move from concept to completion, just count back to when Madoka's sales numbers came in. Except this time, there's 22 girls doomed to suffer eternal battle rather than just two!

"Genshiken is back, with even weirder freshmen!"

GENSHIKEN NIDAIME: THE SOCIETY FOR THE STUDY OF MODERN VISUAL CULTURE or, Genshiken: the Next Generation
7/6 (Sat) 25:00 Tokyo MX
Dir. Tsutomu Mizushima (Genshiken, Joshiraku, Girls und Panzer), Comp. Michiko Yokote (Genshiken, Joshiraku), Prod. Production I.G (Azazel-san, Eden of the East which at this point I insist was a comedy in retrospect)

Never saw S1 but I'll have to get around to it eventually because firehawk won't stop posting images of that girl with the colored eyelashes. hnnng

"The kanji for 'honor' is written by combining 'self' and 'beauty'. Thus, it can be said that to be 'honorable' makes oneself 'beautiful'; or that to live 'honorably', one must live 'beautifully'."

GIFUU DODO!! KANETSUGU TO KEIJI or, Inventing Our Own 4CCs Is Fun And Profitable or, fd8y9y890gwohgw8oh8g80ysoiafsaioisaioa dodos, or IMAGAWA IMAGAWA IMAGAWA
7/2 (Tue) 25:40 TV Tokyo
Orig. Tetsuo Hara (FotNS) / Nobuhiko Horie, Dir. Bob Shirahata (Hetalia), Writer Yasuhiro Imagawa (G Gundam, Shin Mazinger, Bartender), Prod. DEEN (Nura, Sankarea)

Once you get past the butchered art and DEEN-tastic production values, there's actually a really fun cheeseball bromance overloaded with pomp and badassery. It deserves more love!

"He had to make that choice, or die."

HAKKENDEN - TOHO HAKKEN IBUN S2
7/7 (Sun) 22:30 Tokyo MX
Chief Dir. Osamu Yamasaki (Hakuouki), Dir. Mitsue Yamazaki (AD on kure-nai and PenDrum), Comp. the directing team together, Prod. DEEN (haven't we been over this already?)

Is this actually airing? S1 had an ace OST so I'll probably get around to this eventually.

"Fuck you, Excalibur."

HIGH SCHOOL D×D NEW or, Yes Virginia, "New" Is A Valid Pun For "Breasts" In Japanese
7/7 (Sun) 20:30 ATX
?????? Tokyo MX (like you even care about the broadcast version)
Dir. Tetsuya Yanagisawa (HSD&D S1, World War Blue), Comp. Takao Yoshioka (Working'!!, HSD&D S1, Senran Kagura), Prod. TNK (HSD&D S1, School Days)

I still think that the logo looks like a ballsack.

"This is Gamindustri. Beings called the Goddesses rule the countries of this unreal world."

HYPERDIMENSION NEPTUNIA THE ANIMATION
7/12 (Fri) 22:00 BS Animax
7/12 (Fri) 25:00 Tokyo MX
Dir. Masahiro Mukai (Madoka eps 2-9. Yu-gi-oh! Zexal eps 1-2), Comp. Shogo Yasukawa (Zero no Tsukaima F), Prod. david production (Ben-to, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure)

Didn't watch S1 because I loathed the game. Expect lots of moe, probably. Watch Uchouten Kazoku instead.

"Even edgier than the novel!?"

INU TO HASAMI WA TSUKAIYOU or, Dogs and Scissors: Only Good for One Thing
7/1 (Mon) 25:00 Tokyo MX
Dir. Yukio Takahashi (Last Exile 2), Comp. Toshizo Nemoto (Inuboku SS), Prod. GONZO (Chapter 11)

Seriously, fuck this show for using animal cruelty for laughs/otaku bonerzz. Please don't watch this show. Watch Uchouten Kazoku instead.

"And on the seventh day... God abandoned us."

KAMISAMA NO INAI NICHIYOBI or, The Sunday Without God
7/6 (Sat) 25:30 Tokyo MX
Dir. Yuji Kumasawa (Nobuna Oda), Comp. Tomoko Konparu (this lady has been writing FOREVER; recently Kimi ni Todoke and UtaPrince), Prod. Madhouse (Chihayaful, aaaalllll those Marvel shows, Kaiji)

I'll just get impressions from someone else for this one. 2LN4me

"Her name: Shiki Ryogi. Her life was saved... But nothing could open her eyes."

KARA NO KYOUKAI or, Garden of Sinners or, 2013: 2009 4TH ANNIVERSARY PROJECT
7/5 (Fri) 24:00 Tokyo MX

Mandoric: "A 13-ep clipshow of your favorite Type-Moon movies and not mine, crammed into chronological order in hopes of making sense. (Good luck there.)"

"Love hurts."

KIMI NO IRU MACHI or, A Town Where You Live
7/13 (Sat) 23:30 TV Tokyo
Dir. Shigeyasu Yamauchi (Casshern Sins, Dream Eater Merry), Comp. Reiko Yoshida (MariMite, K-On!, Girls und Panzer), Prod. GONZO

The reason, and the only reason, that I'm watching this is because I'm a Yamauchi whore. Even if the premise didn't scare you off already, it's been Gonzo'd to fuck and back so there's not much for anyone but the most broken individuals like myself.

"Ancient China, BCE: A land at war."

KINGDOM 2
6/8 (Sat) 23:45 BS Premium
Staff: Dir. Jun Kamiya (Bleach: Diamond Dust Rebellion), Comp. Naruhisa Awakawa (Kingdom S1, Akibarangers), Prod. Studio Pierrot (Beelzebub, Kingdom S1)

I have nothing to say here so I'll use this space to say that more people should be watching Uchouten Kazoku.

"A relaxing, lighthearted comedy of Japanese and British schoolgirls!"

KIN-IRO MOSAIC or, Gold Mosaic
7/6 (Sat) 20:30 ATX
7/8 (Mon) 24:30 Tokyo MX
Dir. Tensho (NakaImo ep 2 and 7, Katanagatari ep 7), Comp. Yunico Ayana (Denpa Onna), Prod. Studio Gokumi (Saki Achiga-hen, NakaImo)

Most of the thread loves it but I couldn't handle it. You see those girls? They're supposed to be SIXTEEN, but there's an unsettling dissonance between their supposed age and their childlike appearance and behavior; furthermore, the characters are all iterations on the same pure, innocent, small-fuzzy-animal-in-the-body-of-a-girl. If you just want moe girls doing moe things, I guess this is your fix.

"What fun will Natsuki have with the Go-Home Club?"

KITAKUBU KATSUDO KIROKU
7/4 (Thu) 26:43 NTV
Dir. Hikaru Sato (AD on bad Aria and Polar Bear Cafe), Comp. Go Zappa (Koihime Musou, NakaImo, I think he used all his clever coming up with that pen name), Prod. Nomad (Kampfer, Bleach: Diamond Dust Rebellion, Bleach: Fade to Black)

Watch Love Lab instead.

"What brought these wildly different girls together" 'To learn how to love'!?"

LOVE LAB
7/4 (Thu) 26:05 MBS
7/5 (Fri) 26:25 TBS
Dir. Masahiko Oota (Minamike, Mitsudomoe), Comp. Takashi Aoshima (Minamike, Mitsudomoe, Yryr), Prod. Dogakobo (Koihime Musou, Yuruyuri)

Surprise of the season. Expression porn, amazing character chemistry, tons of fuel for the yuri delusion-inclined. What else could you possibly want? If you believe that, in general, execution trumps premise, this is your show.

"Who will be Hell's regent!?"

MAKAI OUJI DEVILS AND REALIST
7/7 (Sun) 25:05 TV Tokyo
Dir. Chiaki Kon (Junjou Romantica ep director), Comp. Michiko Yokote (rapidly closing in on Mari Okada's spray-and-pray reputation), Prod. Dogakobo (Koihime Musou, Yuruyuri, wait what?)

Space reserved for a DTL review.

"'Queens' of the savannah!"

The Midnight Animals
August, Hikari Channel
Prod. GONZO

who wants to bet that the production values are better than Kimi Iru no Machi?

"The four girls of Milky Holmes grow up with more cases to crack and new underclasswomen at school!"

FUTARI WA MILKY HOLMES or, Toei Lawsuit Incoming
7/13 (Sat) 22:00 Tokyo MX
Dir. Hiroshi Nishikiori (Index, Index II, but not Railgun), Comp. Hideki Shirane (Merry, bad Aria, Kill Me Baby), Prod. J.C. Staff/Nomad (oh lol.)

The majority of Milky Holmes fans here seem to think that this guts basically everything that was enjoyable about previous seasons. But, for the love of God, don't watch Futari wa Pretty Cure by mistake because I will seriously request a ban as an act of atonement if there's more Precure discussion here than there already is.

"Don't let your youth end until you've seen it all."

err
trying that again
-MONOGATARI SERIES SECOND SEASON or, -Story Series Second Season or, My Living Hell (working title)
7/6 (Sat) 24:00 Tokyo MX
Dir. Akiyuki Shinbo, Prod. SHAFT (Again, if I have to tell you...)

I was happier once I accepted that the franchise would never be as good as Bake again and just started watching for the bonerzz. (not referring to Hachikuji I swear)

"A big little brother, and a little big sister."

RECORDER AND RANDSELL ミ☆ or, Really, How The Fuck Do You Pronounce ASCII Art Of A Shooting Star
7/1 (Mon) 22:25 ATX
7/4 (Thu) 25:00 TeleTama
Dir./Writer Itsuki Imazaki (Ai Mai Mi), CD Toshiomi Iizumi (R&R S1), Prod. Seven (R&R S1)

nope

"A rolling sports comedy! The off-kilter girls on the basketball team have got him wrapped around their fingers!"

RO-KYU-BU! SS or, Why Don't You Take a Seat Over There Again
7/5 (Fri) 22:30 AT-X
7/7 (Sun) 24:30 Tokyo MX
Dir. Shinsuke Yanagi (extremely prolific journeyman AD with no series credits), Comp. Michiko Ito (coming back for more salty loli balls), Prod. project No. 9 (nothing. but. loliballs.)

NOPE

(continued)

 

[FelixOrion]

"Do you agree? Or do you not agree?"

ROZEN MAIDEN
7/4 (Thu) 25:58 TBS
Dir. Shinichi Omata (Sankarea, episode director for Arakawa and Madoka), Comp. Tomomi Mochizuki (Yami to Boushi), Prod. DEEN (Nura, Sankarea)

The last time I watched a Hatakeyama show with an Annabel ED I ended up with an eternal grudge against DEEN, but the designated good taste guys say it's still brilliant so I'll have to get over my trepidation at some point.

"Battling for the sake of the world, these girls find only heartbreak and loss--"

SENKI ZESSHO SYMPHOGEAR G or, Nymphogear G
7/4 (Thu) 26:35 MBS
7/6 (Sat) 22:30 Tokyo MX
Dir. Katsumi Ono (Symphogear eps 4, 9), Comp. Akifumi Kaneko (Wild Arms 1, 3, and 4, Symphogear), Prod. Satelight (Macross F, AKB0048, Symphogear)

fuck, this show is going to stretch the title column on my MAL even more.

"A tale of battles, laughs, and heartfelt emotion woven by a useless hero and a sadist warrior!"

SENYU S2 or, Senyuu S2 if you want to be weebier-than-actual-Japan
7/2 (Tue) 25:35 TV Tokyo
Dir. YAMAKAN (the first four episodes of Lucky Star, before ratings came in), Comp. Michiko Yokote (Genshiken, Joshiraku, Senyu S1), Prod. Ordet/Liden Films (BRS OVA)

didn't watch S1 but everyone who did seemed to like it.

"My first govenment job."

SERVANT×SERVICE
7/4 (Thu) 27:08 ABC
7/6 (Sat) 24:30 Tokyo MX
Dir. Yasutaka Yamamoto (Squid Girl S2, sighs of relief when people hear 'Yasutaka' rather than 'Yutaka'), Writer Kento Shimoyama (Kawaii! JeNny, Binbogami ga!, Maou-sama), Prod. A-1 (Studios? Where Aniplex is going, they don't need studios)

The draw of the turtleneck sweater + glasses wombo fetish combo is strong here, but the humor is pretty inconsistent and it has some severely grating supporting characters. This is the kind of thing where you're probably safe to just drop it if it doesn't immediately click with you.

"You know, this may actually be a fun way to grow up."

SILVER SPOON
7/11 (Thu) 24:45 Fuji TV
Dir. Tomohiko Ito (Occult Gakuin, Sword Art Online), Writer Taku Kishimoto (Bunny Drop), Prod. A-1 Pictures

whoops, somehow didn't get around to watching this yet. Opinion pending.

"A tale of youth and survival games!"

STELLA JOGAKUIN KOTOKA C^3BU or, Stella Women's Academy High School Division Class C3
7/4 (Thu) 25:28 TBS
Dir. Masayoshi "No, Not That Kawajiri" Kawajiri (preeeeeeetty much nothing), Prod. Gainax (Medaka Box, Dantalian, did you think I was gonna write something else here?)

Haven't watched, and someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I get the feeling that this is one of those shows where the fact that all of these girls are into the focal hobby seems extremely forced and incompatible with whatever simple moe character archetype they represent.

"Your smile is all the thanks I could ever want."

TAMAYURA MOAGURESSHIBU or, Tamayura More Aggressive
7/3 (Wed) 21:30 AT-X
7/3 (Wed) 22:30 Tokyo MX
Dir./Comp. Junichi Sato (Aria, Tamayura), CD Haruko Iizuka (Tamayura), Prod. TYO Animations (Tamayura)

Ask firehawk about S1.

"Ika Surume's 'tennis show without actual tennis' returns!"

TEEKYU S2
7/7 (Sun) 22:27 Tokyo MX
Dir./Writer Shin Itagaki (Teekyu, Ben-to), Prod. MAPPA (The Unlimited, Teekyu)

I got nothing. They talk really fast.

"Kyoto is a city of men, tanuki, and tengu."

UCHOTEN KAZOKU
7/7 (Sun) 22:00
Dir. Masayuki Yoshihara (Eden of the East AD), Comp. Shotaro Suga (Darker than Black, Lagrange), Prod. P.A.Works (Canaan, Angel Beats, Hanasaku Iroha)

Unquestionably to me, the show of the season. The dialogue is thoughtful and naturalistic, the characters are written intelligently and exude humanity, it's fully of lovely background art with smart, deliberate scene framing, and the narrative is a refreshing use of magical realism. It's lively, entertaining, and touching. Watch it.

"Mojyo, n. Also: mo-onna. 1. A woman who has never spoken with a man. 2. A woman who has never gone on a date. 3. 'pure' (self-derogatory). Antonym: (has a) life."

WATASHI GA MOTENAI NO WA DOUMITEMO OMAERA GA WARUI! or, No Matter How I Look at It, It's You Guys' Fault I'm Not Popular! or, Watamote to save us all a lot of typing
7/8 (Mon) 26:05 TV Tokyo
Dir. Shin Oonuma (ef, BakaTest), Comp. Takao Yoshioka (Working'!!, Senran Kagura), Prod. SILVER LINK. (BakaTest, inexplicable punctuation)

At some point, this show will hit way too close to home for you. You will either be incredibly depressed or appreciative that someone out there understands you, but you will inevitably experience one or the other. Watch, laugh, cringe, perhaps feel a little better about yourself.

"The 'God of Conquests' Keima Katsuragi and the demon Elsie."

K-On has better writing than >90% of the anime that comes out each season. Perhaps the issue is that it does not conform to your tastes. Saying that K-On is NOT well written is pretty wrong.

K-On is actually excellently written. Its just very simple subject matter. there's nothing actually wrong with the show aside from some people not liking it.

 

[sleepykyo]

The heartwarming story of thirteen identical siblings clamoring to see who can be the first to jam their dick into their sweet and trusting adoptive sister. Not even the Studio Pablo backgrounds could make this watchable. Watch Uchouten Kazoku instead.

I kind of want to watch this now. Is it going to be funny like Ouran Host Club? Dull like Singing Prince 2000%? Is there some murder/mystery element (the reason I stuck with Amnesia till the infodump end)?

Asking for show about music to be about the music is not too much to ask. I think it is pretty telling that K-On! is known best for cake and tea.

Asking for show about music to be about the music is not too much to ask. I think it is pretty telling that K-On! is known best for cake and tea.

So the problem is you came in looking for Jem and the Holograms? K-On! doesn't even advertise itself to be a show about music. Its about a bunch of girls ostensibly in a music club sitting around drinking tea and eating cake. That's the point.

 

[Syrinx]

didn't realize that the OP was so damn long until now. nice job*

Several posts (including one of mine) were lost in the abyss in the making of that OP. Semper fi.
