Fall 2012 Anime Line-up! My picks!

I am completely out of ammo….err I mean anime to watch. I thought I was horribly behind and that I would never catch up but somehow…here I am waiting for one show to get subbed. X___X What is the last time I could say that? Clearly I should take advantage of this moment and savor it. Also tomorrow I am sure that there will be 3 shows up and I will be passed out from the terribleness that will be Friday.

Let us frolic in the cool breeze!

So while I am ahead for once I decided to take the time to look at the Fall 2012 Anime Line-up and watch some previews. You know, to see what I will be behind on shortly. XD So silly. With Sword Art Online being my only rollover anime I got some slots to fill. Don’t leave me hanging Fall 2012 anime! All the synopsis information and pictures came from the internet, not me. Mainly My Anime List!

 Hiiro no Kakera 2nd Season

I think the show would be more fun it if actually looked like this...

Synopsis: The second half of the series started in the Spring 2012 Anime season. But here is the synopsis from season 1! Every girl dreams of being an enchanted princess, but how many stop to think about all the grim and horrible things that happen in fairy tales? That's a lesson Tamaki learns all too graphically when she's attacked by creatures she thought only existed in myths! Fortunately, she's rescued by an extraordinary young man: one who's not only part demon; but her future classmate as well, and one of the group of protectors that Tamaki will need if she's going to fulfill her destiny as a Tamayori princess. A destiny that no one's bothered to tell her she's inherited until just now! And if it wasn't bad enough to learn that every plan she'd had for the future has to change, to top it all off, Tamaki still has to start attending a new high school as well! Oh except factor in the monsters really don’t matter and the guardians couldn’t protect my cat! 

Episode Count: 13 too many 

Air Date: October 2012 

As much as I enjoyed….the first season can I really put myself through that much joy again? I do want to see a certain someone die and another certain someone be revealed to be the traitor. But now that I think back, not only was it…special…not much happened! Like where did the first 13 episodes go? How can we put up with more of that? How can the “good guys” lose any more than they already have? I don’t know if this is worth blogging. Maybe I will watch just to see some divine punishment.


Little Busters!

We shall be friends forever!!

Synopsis: Riki was a child when his parents died, leaving him hopeless and depressed. What saved him was a group of four kids calling themselves the Little Busters. They took Riki out and played with him during his time of need. He really enjoyed being together with them, and his grief gradually faded away. Now in his second year of high school they still hang out, fight and live together, and enjoy their school life. 

Number of episodes: Unknown 

Air Date: October 7th 

Well…didn’t that all sound like sunshine and rainbows? A cute little show full of cute little characters? Oh snap it is based on the visual novel by Key? Well surely everyone will suffer and cry while looking cute!! XD I spoiled myself…well a lot by reading about this years ago but maybe I have forgotten enough to enjoy it. That and you never known what route the anime will chose from the novel. But this synopsis makes it sound happy and full of light yes? XD I think we need to prepare for tissues. Time loops anyway? I think it this one is an anime I will definitely blog about.


Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun

Ignoring you now!

Synopsis: Mizutani Shizuku is the type of person who only cares for her own grades. But when she accidentally delivers lesson notes to Yoshida Haru, he becomes convinced they are friends. Haru turns out to have a very innocent personality, but who would've thought that Haru would actually confess to Shizuku? A cold-hearted girl and super-troublemaker romance with a fresh new perspective. 

Number of episodes: Unknown 

Air Date: September 29th 

The mini preview for this show wasn’t what I was totally expecting. It seemed that Shizuku was trying to get rid of Haru in several different movie type scenarios. But I think the show will mainly focus on slice of life stuff and romance? Maybe just a few of these crazy scenarios in Shizuku’s head? I am not quite sure about the fresh perceptive thing but a nice little romance show, learning that people can change and that you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover might be fun. Also people probably won’t die and I need an anime like that sometimes. XD 


Zetsuen no Tempest

Oh hi we are hot and that is all you need to know.

Synopsis: The story revolves around Mahiro Fuwa, a teenager whose family was mysteriously murdered one year before and his friend Yoshino Takigawa. Mahiro is contacted by Hakase Kusaribe, the leader of the Kusaribe clan who was left stranded on an unknown desert island by her followers, and agrees to help Hakase in exchange of her help to find out the culprit for the death of his family. Upon learning of his friend's intentions, Yoshino joins him on his quest to stand against the Kusaribe clan who intends to awake the "Tree of Zetsuen" whose power can bring ruin to the entire world.

Number of episodes: Unknown 

Air Date: October 5th 

Well….I am sure some of you smart readers out there can figure out why I might have out this anime on my list. Ah my glasses indeed. But after watching the mini preview I wonder if I am relying too much on the pretty boy factor? NO NEVER! It did look a little confusing in the preview while the synopsis seems to make more sense. I don’t know….why does everyone want to end the world anyway? Where the heck are you going to live if you destroy the world?! 


Shin Sekai Yori

This show looks slightly confusing and interesting.

Synopsis: About one thousand years into the future, civilization has been retrograded and humans are living dispersed within small communities. People in this era have a psychic power called "Juryoku" which materializes things they imagine. In the absence of advanced scientific technology, people are using this power as a major source of energy. 

One day, a girl called Saki, along with her friends, finds a small archive robot outside the town. It records the ancient history of humans. It tells them that Juryoku was found in the 21st century and the discovery caused a world war between psychics and non-psychics. The psychics won this war and thus their reign of terror began. 

When the adults in town figure out that the children discovered this forbidden knowledge, they seal their Juryoku and exile them. Saki and the others end up in a forest where they meet a huge hairless bipedal mouse known as a "Bakenezumi" and get involved in a violent war the creatures are currently engaged in. 

Number of episodes: Unknown 

Air Date: October 2012 

This show sounds MESSED UP! I mean in the future, psychic powers, exiled kids, and creatures at war?! Are there sugar loving fairies involved in this hot mess too? If so sign me up and hand me some aspirin. I was going to pass on this show based on the first mini preview video but then the second one with its amazing amount of violence made me change my mind. XD However I might be a little sad if the focus is mainly on the gross looking critters and not the human kids trying to get back to their village and make things right. Unless the gross looking critters are fighting the humans. Then woohoo Aspirin time!

So that looks like a pretty full list? 4 most likely yeses and 1 roll over anime show. Fall shall be busy, especially with me venturing out of my house and going on trips. WEEE! Lets see if these shows are worth it in a few weeks guys!
