Hello everyone! Summer 2014 is coming to close, which is actually quite upsetting, considering how great I think this season has been! But all good things must come to an end, but do not fear! We have the very exciting line up for Fall 2014, and there’s a lot of things that look promising (thankfully)! With that being said, I’ll be talking about the upcoming anime; what I’ll be watching, what’s a maybe, and what’s a definite no. If something is good, and it looks like I’ll pass, let me know! I’m always up for watching something that people tell me is a must-watch!
I’ve ordered the shows on the day they come out, but please be aware some dates might be incorrect. They come out Japanese time, so I’ve set it up the way it’ll come out in North America. An example would be if a show came out officially on October 5th, then it would actually come out October 4th where I live. Of course this may not always be the case, and some may come out on that same day, or maybe after (like Glasslip did switching dates midway through). Just wanted to make that known.
I’ll be rating each show by how interested I am in the show, not by how I think it’ll turn out, so please be aware of that! Scale goes up to five, with zero being the lowest! Again, just my interest rate, not my predicted rating for the show!
Let’s go!
Sunday:
Terra Formars: Let’s be really honest here. This looks extremely similar to Shingeki no Kyojin (Attack on Titan). So something similar to that should make many people excited. Yeah, I’m one of those people. It could be shit, but I’m really intrigued by it. Looks weird.
- Interest Rate: 4/5
Orenchi no Furo Jijou: I have no right to lie to all of you. I am genuinely interested in this anime. I was really on the fence with this one, but I was like what the hell, why not? I just hope it’s a lot of fun.
- Interest Rate: 3/5
Shingeki no Bahamut: Genesis: I was originally not going to watch this, but I saw the PV, and it peaked my interest, so there you go. It’s based off a card game, and are those ever good? We’ll see.
- Interest Rate: 2.5/5
Gugure! Kokkuri-san: Nah…
- Interest Rate: 0.5/5 (Dropped)
Ai Tenchi Muyou!: It’s a 5 minute short, and shorts aren’t really my thing.
- Interest Rate: 0/5 (Dropped)
Girlfriend (Kari): Just the name makes me want to drop it.
- Interest Rate: 0/5 (Dropped)
Monday:
Yowamushi Pedal: Grande Road: Fuck yes. God, I really enjoyed Yowamushi Pedal, so getting a season two of this is a blessing. I just love sports anime.
- Interest Rate: 5/5 (not sorry)
Inou Battle wa Nichijou-kei no Naka de: This looks sooo generic, I can’t believe it. I will give it a chance, but I have a gut feeling this isn’t going to be my cup of tea.
- Interest Rate: 3/5
Akatsuki no Yona: Looks boring.
- Interest Rate: 0/5 (Dropped)
Tuesday:
Amagi Brilliant Park: Call me biased, but I just really like Kyoto Animation. Sometimes they do a really great job at animes (Free!) and sometimes they’ll do a mediocre job (Kyoukai no Kanata). Whatever the case, I’m still willing to watch anything by them because it cannot be the worst thing in any line-up. I’m just gonna miss Free! :-(
- Interest Rate: 4/5
Gundam Build Fighters Try: Never seen Gundam, probably won’t anyways.
- Interest Rate: 0/5 (Dropped)
Hi Scoool! Seha Girl: Nope.
- Interest Rate: 0/5 (Dropped)
Wednesday:
Parasyte (Kiseijuu): This looks like the shit, though some people (mostly fans of the manga) are upset with the modernizing and editing of some characters. Some are going as far to say to just skip out on this and read the manga. Who do I trust?
- Interest Rate: 4/5
Denki-gai no Honya-san: I need a nice comedy series after Barakamon and Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun end. My life is dark.
- Interest Rate: 3/5
Shirobako: Some people seem to be really excited about this, so I’ll share in their excitement.
- Interest Rate: 3/5
Daitoshokan no Hitsujikai: Looks like your typical romance anime. I’m good.
- Interest Rate: 0/5 (Dropped)
Hitsugi no Chaika: Avenging Battle: Didn’t see season one. Whoops.
- Interest Rate: 0/5 (Dropped)
Thursday:
Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso: This looks awesome. I’m actually really excited for this one and I hope it doesn’t disappoint.
- Interest Rate: 4.5/5
Ore Twintails ni Narimasu: Looks generic and crappy. I’m just not into this at all.
- Interest Rate: 0/5 (Dropped)
Yuuki Yuuna wa Yuusha de Aru: Looks pretty bland.
- Interest Rate: 0/5 (Dropped)
Friday:
Garo: Honoo no Kokuin: This is about the only real thing going for me on Friday’s, and I’m not too excited about that.
- Interest Rate: 3/5
Sanzoku no Musume Ronj: The animation for this looks like utter shit. Cannot believe Studio Ghibli’s name is attached to this. How the hell did they agree to this?
- Interest Rate: 1.5/5
Log Horizon 2: I’m almost positive I would’ve watched this when it aired, but I got into anime a bit too late, so I never got the chance to watch it. Oh well.
- Interest Rate: 0/5 [Only because I missed out on it when I had the chance] (Dropped)
Madan no Ou to Vanadis: It’s an ecchi and a harem.
- Interest Rate: 0/5 (Dropped)
Magic Kaito 1412: I’m not too fond of the genre, so I’m just going to skip on this one.
- Interest Rate: 0/5 (Dropped)
Selector Spread Wixoss: Never saw the first season.
- Interest Rate: 0/5 (Dropped)
Ushinawareta Mirai o Motomete: It’s a harem. Looks like way more drama than what I need.
- Interest Rate: 0/5 (Dropped)
Saturday:
World Trigger: This is really hyped, and I don’t care, this looks fucking awesome! Probably my most anticipated for this season. That PV was sick.
- Interest Rate: 5/5
Nanatsu no Taizai: The Seven Deadly Sins: I hear a lot of great things about this. This kind of reminds me of Magi, which I’m a huge fan of, so I’ll give it a chance.
- Interest Rate: 4/5
Ookami Shoujo to Kuro Ouji: The shoujo of the season. I’ll admit, this kind of looks bad, but I said the same thing about Ao Haru Ride, and I was proven wrong because Ao Haru Ride is one of the best of the summer season. We’ll see how this one goes.
- Interest Rate: 3/5
Sora no Method: I honestly don’t know much about this, but it looks really nice.
- Interest Rate: 2.5/5
Cross Ange: Tenshi to Ryuu no Rondo: I’m just not a mecha person. Sorry.
- Interest Rate: 0/5 (Dropped)
Fate Stay/Night (2014): As much as I want to watch this show, it is not a possibility at the moment because I have yet to see the original series yet. I’m a completist, so I just really can’t.
- Interest Rate: N/A; I’m interested, but I just can’t watch it. Not yet. (Dropped)
Grisaia no Kajitsu: I’m just not interested in girls with huge breasts trying to find love.
- Interest Rate: 0/5 (Dropped)
Mushishi Zoku Shou: I hear you can watch this show without watching the rest, but again, I’m a completist. I’ll get around to watching someday.
- Interest Rate: N/A; I’m interest, but I can’t watch it. (Dropped)
Tribe Cool Crew: Haha, nope.
- Interest Rate: 0/5 (Dropped)
Unknown:
Psycho Pass – Season 2: Fuck yeah. I really can’t wait for this.
- Interest Rate: 5/5
Donten ni Warau: Historical animes aren’t really my thing.
- Interest Rate: 0/5 (Dropped)
Danna ga Nani o Itteiru ka Wakaranai Ken: I don’t even know what this one’s about.
- Interest Rate: 0/5 (Dropped)
Soukyu no Fafner: Dead Agressor: Exodus: It’s a mecha.
- Interest Rate: 0/5 (Dropped)
That’s it! The fall season looks promising, and I hope everything turns out pretty good! Summer season is ending, and my final verdicts and rewards will be coming up soon! I’ve made some new categories and I watched way more anime, so it’ll be more fun this time around!
Are you guys excited for this upcoming season? What animes will you be watching? Let me know in the comments! Thanks for reading, and have a wonderful day!
