Before I even start, I just want to make it clear that I could care less whether or not you’re going to agree or disagree (I’m assuming the latter) with me; what I’m going to say is absolute, unless of course some miracle happens where shows from the upcoming Fall series later this year magically gets shifted to Summer for whatever reason. I mean I try to be nice and all by watching some series that have even the slightest potential of being interesting but the last time I did that (last Winter to be exact) ended up in a massive failure. But whatever….here’s a partial-failure-packed preview.
And oh…I’m not even going to bother putting links and summaries since EVERY FRIGGING ONE IS DOING IT.
——
Spice and Wolf II
- No mention of anything school related… +1
- Made me want to watch Season 1 now so I can catch up on Season 2… +5
Not much to mention here, except that this series has been on my ‘To Watch’ list. I guess it’s a good thing there’s a second season, since (mostly) anything with more than one season gives me a reason to marathon.
Cobra: Yukuni no Yushi
- No mention of anything school related… +1
- Not so appealing piece of art…-3
- Failure to catch my attention at first glance…-5
- Not so interesting preview…-5
- Slightest hint of manliness…+1
No seriously…I don’t even have the slightest clue as to why this series is here. It looks as if it should have been sent back to anime series of Ye Olden Times.
Element Hunters
- No mention of anything school related… +1
- Looks like something along the lines aimed at youger audiences (like Pokemon and such)…-3
- I LOVE CHEMISTRY…+3
- Is it me or are the characters drawn vectored-style?…+2
- Boring summary of the plot…-5
Yesh, I love elements and things of that nature. I guess I can let the childishness pass by and watch an episode or two to see how things turn out. I would’ve discarded this show immediately of it was named otherwise.
Tokyo Magnitude 8.0
- No mention of anything school related… +1
- Cool title…+1
- Failure to catch my attention at first glance…-5
- The only thing that gave out a loud impression in the plot synopsis was that there was a bigass earthquake involved…-3
It probably would have been something I would watch, but I find the plot synopsis lacking. Maybe if they added the earthquake was caused by something supernatural like a creature from the 69th dimension or something, I wouldn’t mind taking a look.
CANAAN
- Potentially interesting plot synopsis…+3
- Very promising characters…+3
- How the latter 2 plusses reminded me of Ga-Rei-Zero where everyone in the promo died one by one…-3
- No mention of anything school related… +1
This is one of the few shows this season that I might get into if everything goes well. I find the whole detective, suspense and the ‘whodunnit’ theme and all. I think I might have likened this to Case Closed…but with better drawn characters!
Hetalia Axis Powers 2
- Failure to get me to watch it in Season 1…-3
- Failure to get me to watch it even when there’s an upcoming sequel…-3
- No mention of anything school related… +1
I guess it’s safe to assume that I’m the only one who has not watch Hetalia? Even more intriguing is how I wasn’t compelled to marathon Season 1 when there’s a sequel like I would have done for other series that have sequels. Uh oh…I sense flamers coming…pfft..whatever.
Umineko no Naku Koro ni
- Nicely drawn…+2
- Potentially interesting plot synopsis…+3
- No mention of anything school related… +1
Nothing much to say here except for the fact that I’ll be checking out this one for almost the same reasons as CANAAN.
Sora no Manimani
- School Related!!!!!…-2
- Using astronomy as a central device in the plot…+3
- So-so plot synopsis…-1
I’m not too sure about this one. I initially didn’t want to have anything to do with this series but I’ve been a bunch of people speak good of it, so I guess I’ll take an episode or two.
NEEDLESS
- Potentially interesting plot synopsis…+3
- No mention of anything school related… +1
The moment I read the synopsis, my eyes immediately homed on the two words, “Black Spots.” Not only does it sound thought-provoking, but the fact that it involves supernatural aspects would make my head itch with curiosity if I don’t take a look.
Kanamemo
- Happy go lucky atmosphere…+3
- The only Summer show I find that’s befitting of the season..+2
- No mention of anything school related… +1
I almost forgot that these are the ones that will air THIS SUMMER. Wouldn’t it be appropriate to watch something that will give a nice and easy feel? Apparently, this show fulfills those demands.
Princess Lover
- I’m a bit sick of harem themes…-2
- Conflict between synopsis and promo image…-2
I find it funny how the synopsis mentions a ‘he’ protagonist when there’s none to see from the promo images I’ve encountered. Nah…I think I’ll let this one pass.
——
I guess that ends the line up. The blogging part will be something I’ll decide arbitrarily once the season starts…though I can already tell you that I’ll be doing First Impressions on most of the ones who have a positive net score.
