http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Fall2012Anime
Oh boy. Of all those anime, I am just interest to Medaka Season 2, To Love-Ru Darkness and Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun. I don't have interest for the rest so far but maybe that would change if I read good reviews about them,
Anyway, I want know something: which Fall 2012 anime interest you ?
I got nuthin' right now. :P
I don't think many of the current folks here watch current anime like we do Gaston.
Chuunibyou Demo Koi Ga Shitai!
Because Kyoani can do no wrong. Well, unless it's fucking Munto...
Magi - Labyrinth of Magic
Directed by Koji Masunari who directed R.O.D and Photon, so I have to check it out.
Little Busters!
I've been waiting for this one since the game came out. It's a shame that it's not another Keyoani, but it'll probably still be somewhat good. Can't wait to see Sasami Sasasegawa animated!

I know it. :P So do you have current anime who interest you ?
A more detailed Fall preview has been released by Random Curiosity.
http://randomc.net/2012/09/15/fall-2012-preview/
Nowafter finally getting a good look, I can answer you Gaston and reveal the shows I'm now interested in:
-Everybody is freaking hounding me to watch BTOOM, I hear it gets pretty intense. Plus, its MADHOUSE, and I happen to like their stuff, I liked their Marvel anime shows they worked on last year, especially X-Men and Blade. They also did Highschool of the Dead, so maybe we might even get some ecchi action ;D Apparently its pretty hardcore too, so we might be seeing some Elfen Lied type ecchi and gore, no problem with me.

-Busou Shinki might be one I watch....
(http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/1835/busoushinki.jpg)
-K | K looks very interesting in the artwork department, and apparently its PACKED with big japanese VA names. The crazy part is that the anime studio is being VERY secretive about the anime's plot, so no one really knows what to expect. Some figure it might be something similar to Durarara, and if that's the case, I'm definitely on board.
(http://img209.imageshack.us/img209/2182/98040466.jpg)
-Might watch the first episode of Zetsuen no Tempest, apparently suppose to be psychological mystery and fantasy.
(http://img193.imageshack.us/img193/5228/zetsuennotempest.jpg)
-Onii-chan Dakedo Ai Sae Areba Kankei Nai yo ne, not even a question. Harem, Ecchi, Comedy and on AT-X meaning it will probably have nudity? Hells yea! Jibs might want to check this one out, apparently the sister is a harem member, and she's suppose to be pretty shameless about wanting her brother....romantically (sexually). AW YEA!! ;D ;D
(http://img849.imageshack.us/img849/4523/oniichan.jpg)
-Kinda torn on To-Love-Ru Darkness. I'm halfway through the second season, but I'm not really motivated to finish it to be honest. The same weak ass Harem MCs Adam and I talk about, that's basically what Yuuki is. So for now, I consider TLRD TBA.
(http://img526.imageshack.us/img526/5232/toloverup.jpg)
-CODE:BREAKER looks like it might be an interesting action series.
(http://img696.imageshack.us/img696/8858/codebreaker.jpg)
- Being a Tenchi fan, I love a good action fantasy series, so I might preview Magi .
(http://img88.imageshack.us/img88/8784/magir.jpg)
-Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo caught my eye
(http://img4.imageshack.us/img4/9459/sakurasoupet.jpg)
-Definitely gonna watch Medaka Box Abnormal, saw the first season, and ready for the new one.
(http://img253.imageshack.us/img253/5263/medakabox2.jpg)
-PSYCHO-PASS looks like a wild, matrix-ish, future sci-fi adventure, gonna keep my eye on this one.
(http://img708.imageshack.us/img708/319/psychopassv2.jpg)
I didn't know about and Onii-chan Dakedo Ai Sae Areba Kankei Nai yo ne and Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo. I will probably watching it. BTW, I am sad you have no interest finishing To Love-Ru since it have more chance that finish with a harem than most of harem anime. And I found the second season better than the first.

Just watched the first episode of "Chuunibyou Demo Koi Ga Shitai!".
Fucking amazing.
And that's really all that needs to be said.
Now to wait for all the cool kids to hate it because it's by Kyoani and it's got some cute characters.

I just finished the first episode of To Love-Ru. That was correct but I hope it will have character development (like Reito finally has no problem see Lala naked each times by episode XD). BTW, why the hell the manga has no problem show boobs but that censored for the TV Series ?

Episode 1 out....
Watched the first episode of "Little Busters!", and... I don't know what to think yet. :-\
The art is huge letdown of course, after 5 years of hoping Kyoani would make this, it's depressing to get the flat and cheap looking art JC Staff gives us here.
I'm really glad they introduced Sasami in the first episode though. She's awesome, and her name makes her even more awesome! ;D

Both of these are out....that's about half my shows down..
Well, seeing as I've watched the premiere episode for about 80% of my list, might as well get this Opening review started.....
BTOOM: Episode 1
(http://img16.imageshack.us/img16/8163/btooom.jpg)
As the title suggest, Btoom (which can be like a japanese "BOOM") is what this is all about, stuff blowing up. You basically got this guy who is a pro on this online game called BTOOM, which looks like a Call of Duty type game with no weapons, only using grenades. After having a fight with his mom about her wanting him to get off his lazy ass and find a job, he wakes up on a dessert with a bag full of bombs, and some crazy guy throwing his own set of bombs at him. He quickly realizes that some real life BTOOM is happening around him.
As this is a MADHOUSE production, the animation as expected is top notch, being the masterminds behind Afro Samurai, Highschool of the Dead, the Marvel anime that airs on G4, and even some of the animation for The Boondocks. While I'm not sure how popular this is in japan, this definitely looks like a series that would fit on G4 or Spike TV here in America. If the right people get their hands on it, I can see a good Dub being made for this one.
Busou Shinki: Episode 1
(http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/1835/busoushinki.jpg)
The studio behind Infinite stratos are back again with their mecha action themes, except this time we are dealing with something a lot smaller. Shinki are basically these fairies that get masters assigned to them, and fight in battles with other Shinki. Basically think of Sekirei, but with small fairies that use the suits from Infinite Stratos instead of powers.
Wasn't bad at all for me, but nothing really stood out for me as well. Will give it the 3 episode policy to decide where I want to go with this series.
K: Episode 1
(http://img209.imageshack.us/img209/2182/98040466.jpg)
HO-LY SHIT. If you could take sex, and put it in anime art form, you would have K. The art here is absolutely incredible, just completely mind blowing with how crisp and clear it is. For my videophiles here (Like you Shades :P), this is just too good. I took a 720p MP4 Tv rip and played it through my 60 inch sharp LED, it was beautiful, its gonna be ridiculous when the Blu Ray arrives. As far as the actual content, not much really happened, at least not enough for us to get a clear understanding. What this episode basically wanted to do was blow your mind with the visuals, and get an idea of the characters we'll see this series.
The entire atmosphere was great. Felt like a futuristic Samurai Champloo with a lil Persona 4, a dash of Durarara, and a pinch of Baccano. The future like hip-hop soundtrack gave me vibes of Jet grind Radio, and was instantly hooked. I can honestly say this might be my favorite anime of the season so far SOLELY based on its aesthetic appeal. Just a very beautiful show.
Zetsuen no Tempest: Episode 1
(http://img193.imageshack.us/img193/5228/zetsuennotempest.jpg)
As expected of Bones (Ao no Exorcist, Full Metal Alchemist), this looks like it will gain a cult following. The suspense thriller is done well, and the action is superb. Basically dealing with what looks to be black magic and taking down a group who wants to do bad with the world. Really looking forward to following this one.
Onii-chan Dakedo Ai Sae Areba Kankei Nai yo ne: Episode 1
(http://img849.imageshack.us/img849/4523/oniichan.jpg)
Jibs, if you're reading this, I strongly suggest you pick this as one of your 2 new animes of the year :P. Basically, what we have here is a sister who is in love with her brother, and is as blunt and open as you can get. She waste no time and lets him know every chance she gets she wants him in her pants asap. Luckily (or unluckily for some ;D), he is so laidback and genre savvy that he pretty much can reject her every time in stride and go on like nothing dramatic happened. All this does though is make her wanting to come up with new schemes to get her brother as her lover. Fast-forward to the 2nd half of the episode, we have 3 new girls who move in into the same dorm as the MC and the sister. Why? Don't know yet, its the first episode. But its made absolutely clear that these girls are interested in the guy, and waste no time letting it known they will fight for him. These girls have said screw the bullshit, the development and the "do I love him" phase, they are ready to get the battle started asap.....i like this. ;D
Definitely my guilty pleasure this season, it really helps that some freshness is brought to this HEAVILY USED genre, also helps this shit is hilarious too. That's to be expected from people behind Baka to Test.
CODE:BREAKER: Episode 1
(http://img696.imageshack.us/img696/8858/codebreaker.jpg)
:o :o :o :o :o :o :o
That was literally my face throughout the second half of this. Let it be clear, this guy ain't your typical Shounen main character, and he couldn't give a rats ass. His motto is, "And eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, evil for evil". That right there lets us know he's playing hardball, ready to do some foul shit to get the job done. Some of you might remember I was in the chat earlier talking about how some people need to not mess with certain people. School President chick does just that, gets her ass kicked by a number of gang members. A stray dog tries to come and save her, they beat the dog's ass. MC comes to "save" the dog, but in actuality, he chokes the dog to death to save it from its misery since it was dying anyway. He then torches the ENTIRE GANG with his blue fire powers (this was some brutal shit man...). Apparently to keep this a secret, he now threatens to burn the girl we thought he was gonna save, and the episode ends. A series going out the box, gonna like this one.
Magi: Episode 1
(http://img88.imageshack.us/img88/8784/magir.jpg)
So, in the first episode of Japanese Aladdin....er, I mean Magi, we meet the main character who's name actually is, get this, Aladdin. The story will apparently revolve around him and his new companion Ali baba on their crazy adventures. Let me just say right now that you shouldn't be expecting a funny blue genie, hot tanned princess, snoop dogg looking villain and wise-cracking red parrot. This definitely has a japanese spin on it, but does a decent job staying true to its origins.
As of right now, I honestly don't know WHAT I think of Magi, it really caught mt off-guard. I was just expecting your typical Dragon ball-esque adventure romp. But what we have here is a series that can feel similar to some Sunday night Adult swim show humor with its raunchy-ness at one moment, but the next feel VERY Studio Ghibli-ish. Like I said, I don't know what i think of this yet, but I do know I want to watch more to see where this is going. Oh, and to keep hearing the Middle Eastern hip-hop beats that play occasionally, I'm feeling those.
Okay just finished Onii-chan Dakedo Ai Sae Areba Kankei Nai yo ne and I liked but one thing just bug me. Why three girls suddenly appear of nowhere and love the guy ? I would like explanation because it was like I missing an episode and that not the case ! :o
Anyway, I am not sure Jibril would like it. The sister is in the bath and her brother doesn't peeking ! He is obviously pure evil !
Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo: Episode 1
(http://img4.imageshack.us/img4/9459/sakurasoupet.jpg)
Found the first episode pretty amusing. Seems like you average RomCom by JC Staff, although there are some parts that can make this series fresh. The main female character is pretty meh for me right now, the Moe emotionless girl has been done so many times, just isn't that appealing TBH. The main character is your typical virgin male lead, but he does seem to be a little witty and actually has common sense. What really stands out for me though are the supporting characters. They breathe so much life into this show, and I'll honestly keep coming every week to see them. From the SUPER energized big boobed chick, to the ladies man pretty boy, to the desperate gold digging MILF Teacher, they really make this show funny.
I also watched Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo. I don't know for you, but in the video I watched, during a few point, it don't have subtitles. >:( Anyway, the episode 1 was correct and I will have not problem see more episode. The character are correct. I would like having a teacher like the one they have. LOL Yeah, the emotionelless girl didn't impress me but at least she doesn't looks like a Rei Ayanami clone. ::)
Psycho Pass: Episode 1
(http://img708.imageshack.us/img708/319/psychopassv2.jpg)
Some of you here I chat with everyday, so you might remember that I recently was watching a shit load of Law and Order and crime dramas, that's my shit. Anyway, what we have here in the first episode is like a mix between Ghost in the Shell, Training Day with Denzel Washington and Minority Report with Tom Cruise. Got a wet behind the ears rookie who goes on her first task to learn the ropes. In this program, in order to catch criminals, they use current criminals and put them under a payroll. Its basically following Denzel Washington's phrase "Its takes a wolf to catch a wolf" metaphor in action. With their guns comes the Minority Report aspect of the show, where the high tech guns can evaluate a criminal and determine whether to shoot non-lethal bullets that paralyze, or lethal bullets that blow you the FUCK UP. Problem is, like Minority Report, they can also detect future crimes, and this is where the MC has a problem adjusting as she can't kill a person who she thinks hasn't done anything. Gonna really like this one..
Considering the "tempest-in-a-teapot" this interview summary (http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2012-10-11/psycho-pass-chief-director/word-moe-is-banned-among-staff) stirred up at ANN, I'm at least piqued. ;)

The hilarious part is that the main character looks the most Moe out of the entire show, and I think this was done purposely since she is also the new NAIVE rook. Because this is the same Gen behind Madoka and Fate/Zero writing this, I bet he's gonna mindfuck every belief she had about "justice". A straight jab at moe, I like ;D
Medaka Box ABNORMAL (Medaka Season 2): Episode 1
(http://cdn.myanimelist.net/images/anime/13/41839.jpg)
Taking off from where the first season left off, we immediately get right back into the action. After defeating the leader of the Disciplinary squad in season 1, Medaka is attacked by his sister for revenge. She has a weird way of speaking which consists of only numbers, but Medaka being Medaka, she's able to decipher it and speak her "language". We also get to see how strong some of the side-characters from last season really are. Finally, we get a lesson in the difference between Normal, Special and ABNORMAL humans. The episode ends with Zenichi instantly encountering the antogonist of this season.

(http://cdn.myanimelist.net/images/anime/4/43233.jpg)
Basically, its a fictional over dramatic retelling of the Sega vs Nintendo wars of the 80s and 90s. The main character named Gear (who is EASILY to tell really Sonic) has joined the Segua empire, and wants to help take down Ninteldo. Lots of famous Sega and Nintendo mascot parodies appear this episode, but this first episode really does feel rushed. Feels like 3 episodes packed into one, and the ecchi factor is surprisingly high. If you can get pass that, try checking this one out.

Hates Being Touched: Hates it when girls start clinging onto him. This is more due to embarrassment than anything else. Lately, though, he starts to improve, and even stood up for Run when Yui chastised her for clinging to him.
Took a Level in Badass: The overarching plot in Darkness has given Rito something to do, rather than being a passive victim of the universe.

Since it season ending, I decide gives very short review about anime from it season I saw so far even if nobody cares.
K: I am disappointed by it series. I thought I would like but in fact I didn't care about the plot or the characters.
Medaka Box Abnormal: Really good and I think I even prefer it over the first season. At first, I was afraid the battle boring me but they are pretty much interesting. I want more. One thing annoyed me: while the plot of the last episode was good, that annoying me that nothing to do with Medaka. Hey a final episode of a Gainax show that troll people. That fucking new.
Onii-chan Dakedo Ai Sae Areba Kankei Nai yo ne: That show was really funny (the red-haired girl FTW) but two things annoyed me. 1. The sister is of course not blood related to her brother and she doesn't know it. That so cliche than that not funny anymore. 2. The serie seems finish on status quo is god with the guy doesn't really choice a girl. That really annoying since at episode 11 the guy get all the girls from his harem and they lives as a happy family...but of course that just a dream. :sotw:
To Love-Ru Darkness: I found it correct thought the censor annoying me as hell. Think god it still have two ova without censor. I liked the character development in the show but I feel that still slow. I want Rito get a harem. And why the hell he still blush see naked girls while he had not watching himself as a girl in the mirror. What kind of logic is this ? And they should 'Rito does something pervert by accident and the girl hit him' THAT NOT FUNNY AFTER 1500 BILLIONS TIMES.
Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun: Found it correct and I don't have too much to said about it
Can't even do mine yet since I have to wait a week before the final Code: Breaker comes out....
Wow that a long week ! And I said it because I really like read your review and I hope I can read more of your review soon.

LOL, yea between all the stuff that was going on, I couldn't find time to watch any anime. Got the final 2 episodes of Codebreaker downloaded as well as my winter shows...so I should be writing stuff shortly.
(http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m18hghyFIK1qb81ib.jpg)
FINALLY, finally finished the last show (Damn you codebreaker) of the season and can wrap my Fall season up. Because some shows like Magi carried over into the Winter season, I'll focus on just the shows that actually ended. Let's DO DIS JOHNNY..
Btooom!
(http://cdn.myanimelist.net/images/anime/4/40977.jpg)
So comes the end to Madhouse's latest series, and it was honestly pretty good. Not mindblowing or anything, but a solid series for those who love action with a tad of drama. Animation and sound were good, and the direction of the show was decent. One of my only issues was how incredibly NAIVE the main character was at times. All I know is, if I know my life is at risk because the only way out is to kill the other people on this island with me, no way in hell would I have been as trusting as he was. Gonna be cautious the entire time and trust NO ONE.

Muv-Luv Alternative: Total Eclipse
(http://cdn.myanimelist.net/images/anime/3/44462.jpg)
This was heavily anticipated by fans of the Visual Novel so it had somewhat decent expectation. For me personally, I just needed my Robot Mecha fill, and this one was my choice. Now granted, what we also got was some side romantic/harem action, so for me I welcomed it. For others though, especially the ones who came in for the Gore and violence might have felt disappointed. Luckily though, the final episodes brought back what the first episodes had, bodies piling up. The growing up the Main character and one of the "harem members" did was very well done, and was a big shining point on the show. They went from hating each others' guts to almost wanting to strip each other naked, well at least the girl did. And Yuuya had some pretty badass heroic moments, so in the end, I was definitely entertained.

So...I can't rate this series because to be blunt, it bored me and I dropped it. The premise was these little robot girls about the size of an action figure had masters and used them to battle, sorta like pokemon. But instead of catching them, you bought them and also bought upgrades for them if you wanted. It would have been ok if the plot would have taken it somewhere, but it went nowhere, literally. One episode they go to the beach, the next they go to the woods, then the next they do some random race and shit. That pretty much wraps up the show....RANDOM. The only thing it had going for it was the action, which isn't surprising since these are the same people who made Infinite stratos, so the battles looked similar here. Unfortunately it just didn't have anything else going for it...
No score, dropped
Sword Art Online

This was the most talked about show of the past 2 seasons, for both good and bad. When this first came on in the Summer season, it was HUGELY hyped due to the successful light novel its based on. For the first half it was pretty much what people expected off the premise: Guy gets stuck in a virtual RPG and has to fight his way up to get out while meeting new friends along the way. He does that and successfully gets out. And with that we......are on episode 13 of a 24 episode series? :rwhy:
Yea, so entering the Fall season SAO entered its second half, and with what some felt was a completely different show. Basically the main character Kiriko goes into ANOTHER virtual world to save Asuna, the girl he fell in love with from the first half. It's basically a wash rinse repeat flow except that this time, his cousin Suguha is apart of the world and she has feelings for him. The fact that a lot of the fans preferred her to Asuna didn't help the shows case. Luckily for me, I could give two shits about that wack ass Otaku drama, I'm just trying to be entertained. And luckily I was til the end.

Onii-chan Dakedo Ai Sae Areba Kankeinai yo ne!

This was suppose to be my Harem romcom of the season, and in the end I guess I can say it was mission accomplished. Only thing is that from a harem point of view, it was very meh. The Main Character pretty much didn't care about any of the girls, like not even finding them attractive. At least Ryoko got Tenchi a good boner going like 3 times in the first OVA. It also doesn't help that I just didn't find the girls that appealing. The Red head was a slut who was known as the predator for basically fucking around and having multiple partners. Some of you might remember bringing this up in the chat some weeks ago about putting a hypothetical situation of where if one of Tenchi's girls slept around...so yea, I just wasn't feeling that. The Blonde was so deadpan/anti-social at times it just left a bored taste in my mouth. The Loli and white haired girl were meh at best, and the sister was at times borderline psycho. Luckily, while the harem aspect didn't play out like I would have liked, the comedy was incredible. Multiple times an episode I found myself in tears from some of the antics, specifically the sister. In fact, one of her most famous antics end with her doing her infamous "Gu-he-he" laugh that's even made its own Youtube video..

Medaka Box Abnormal
(http://cdn.myanimelist.net/images/anime/13/41839.jpg)
Entering the second season of Medaka, I was told beforehand that the action was a lot more focused on while the comedy/school life would take a backseat. After seeing it for myself, it did a pretty decent job. I found myself engaged every episode and looked forward to watching the next. It's true that sometimes things were so out of touch with reality, I didn't know what the hell was going on, but at the same time, I really didn't care. Since the series isn't selling well from what I hear, its unlikely that we'll get a third season. So in Gainax fashion, we got trolled hard with characters breaking the 4th wall like its toilet paper, showing us the manga in the show and everything. It left me confused on some of the issues that were brought up in the final episode as it seemed that episode was directed for manga readers, as if you're suppose to know whats being talked about. But in the end, was a good ride and definitely enjoyed. Not big on reading manga, but I'll definitely be checking Wikipedia from time to time to see what advances are happening plot-wise in the Manga.

When the first episode came out, I was IMMEDIATELY blown away from the visuals of this series. This was easily the eyecandy of the season from a looks department, the only question left on many people's mind was if the plot would follow suit. Well with the story, it moved at a slow crawl, even at times felt like nothing changed. This upset some people, even to the point of dropping it, luckily for the ones who stuck through it, they were rewarded. Around episode 8 the story really picked up and became one of the best stories of the season. It's a real interesting concept they have with the world having "Kings". Each King gets some kind of elemental like power, and can recruit members and these members get a watered down version of that King's power. The end left a lot of questions unanswered though, so when it was announced a season 2 would come be coming out later this year, that made a lot of people feel better, myself included. So now I just wait...

Code:Breaker
(http://cdn.myanimelist.net/images/anime/12/39629.jpg)
My final show and pretty much the reason I'm so late with the season wrap up. I liked it cause of what it brought and did. You basically have this group called CodeBreakers who are sent to known evil and criminal groups and kill them, basically like an assassin for hire. The main female character was so annoying because she would always preach to the main character (who's a CodeBreaker) how killing and stuff was wrong and yadada. Luckily he would barely listen to her ass and take the garbage out anyway. It just got annoying cause you would think she would learn, yet EVERY week she kept fucking nagging. Luckily every week the viewer was awarded with watching her get ignored. The series climax lead up to the formal CodeBreaker leading member going rogue and having to be stopped because of him basically becoming a terrorist. The thing though is that once you actually LISTENED to his reasoning, he actually made a lot of damn sense. At times the CodeBreakers were fighting him and it honestly made me question why the hell is he the bad guy again? Oh cause Plot says so....Anyway, the ending was a let down because they pulled the cliche shounen "power out of my ass" card and gave it to the main character. So not including the pretty crappy ending, this was a solid series. Don't know if I'd be wanting a sequel, though I would watch if it aired.

That pretty much wraps up my Fall season, and finally gives me a chance to start watching the winter shows. I'll probably write something for the first episodes of the new shows too.
:why:
Because I feel like it bitch...

Yea that part was very weird to me. It just didn't feel like it was part of the episode and random as hell.
