The Spring 2010 lineup has been airing for a few weeks now and some of these shows are entering their third (fourth) episodes.
Some have already gotten mi attention while others are starting severely slow and are pretty boring.I was curious to know what you all think of this new season. And which shows are turning out to be the best.
I made this question a poll (max 2 votes) as well, just in case if some clueless sap person had no idea of what these anime were, they could use the results as a guide (possibly).
_________________________________________________________
Mi two favorites, at the moment, would have to be Angel Beats and Ichiban Ushiro no Damao.
Angel beats has the vibe of one of those deeper anime (similar to Durararararararara and Paranoia Agent). The little reminders that God may or may not exist keeps me interested, in itself. Cant wait til the story progresses.
Ichiban Ushiro no Damao, I fell in love with it after watching the trailer back in March. If you hate Harry Potter, ecchi, magical powers, half naked women, demons, lords, comedy, and big chested women; then you'll hate Ichiban Ushiro no Damao
Edit: Just realized that I posted under wrong section... can someone move?

I'm putting my money on B Gate H Kei. It's more of my style. The ecchi, school life, seinen series are what I'm into. So I also have hope for Kaichou wa Maid-sama! and Mayoi Neko Overrun. I don't much care for Kiss x Sis. I watched the two or three OAVs they released last year, and read the manga. It was just boring and the same thing every single episode. It's mostly the incest thing that gets to me.
-
Most of these i have never even heard of so ima go for the Beyblade series. Let it RIP

I posted the Spring 2010 poster (http://www.otaku-complex.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/010.jpg) in the OP...
I didnt realize how little people kept up with the newer anime :'( and worships the long drawnout over-rated ones (naruto, bleach, pokemon *cough* *cough*)

B Gate H Kei is turning out to be more funny and less ecchi than I'd hoped. After a while, the clueless male characters get aggravating.
don't much care for Kiss x Sis. I watched the two or three OAVs they released last year, and read the manga. It was just boring and the same thing every single episode. It's mostly the incest thing that gets to me.
You do know that they aren't blood related right?
And nonblood-related flirting should always be encouraged :P
-
At the moment I only follow Angel Beat!, Ichiban Ushiro no Dai Maou, KissxSis TV and K-On!! :)
I still need to take a look at the first episodes of Uragiri wa Boko no Namae wo poopte Iru and Hakuouki: Shinsengumi Katan ;)
-
Animes i would watch again and again
death note
bleach
one piece
naruto shippuuden
samurai champloo
afro samurai
gantz
hellsing
fullmetal alchemist
elfenlied
space cowboys
soul eater
black than darker
blood+
Thats great... and there is a thread for that (http://pokemon-universe.com/index.php/topic,275.15.html)
None of those, except One Piece, Naruto: Shippuden, and bleach, are even airing in spring 2010.
The rest are just plain old.
-
sry for that i removed it!
-
I don't watch anime but if I did then I'd probably pick Angel Beats and Iron man :)

Yeah. As I said, I read the manga, but it's just the idea. I'm not a prude or anything of the sort, I just get sick of step sibling theme in manga and anime. Of course, I'm a big harem fan. So I tend to like the stories involving many girls...
Also, let me know how B Gate H Kei goes for you. I don't watch anime until the season is over so I can watch the series in it's entirety without waiting week to week for the story. So I'm hoping B Gate H Kei is only a mini series. By the style and story I'd assume it is. Same goes for the two other series I was interested in.

rainbow nisha rokub? no shichinin

im curious is this thread ever going to be moved to the correct category?

Out of the eccchis that came out, This one had the most potential (in just about every way). Its good, dont get me wrong, but it could be alot more ecchier.
Compared to "Ladies v Butlers" and "Seikon no Qwaser", from the Winter season, and kissxSis, this show is pretty innocent.
And as for the length of the series, it looks like a normal 13 episode series. They are entering the spring semester, what better time for a confession?
rainbow nisha rokub? no shichinin
Is it any good? I was told that it had a few "Boy Love" themes in it.

I guess, but so far it's pretty awesome. I love allt he characters. And there's boy love, because there are nothing but guys in the show. Because it's about teenage prison inmates.

I haven't watched Seikon no Qwaser yet, but Ladies v Butlers really surprised me with how ecchi it was. I started the series and was like "No way this many boobs can be in an anime." Sure enough I was proven wrong damn near every episode. haha. I still loved it though. It was one of my favorite series from the Winter season.

if Ladies v Butlers was surprising with its ecchiness, Seikon no Qwaser has about twice the content in the first 5 episodes (no joke). Its still ongoing and doesnt look like it'll end any time soon but its something to look into, at least the first episode, whenever you get a chance.
oh, and B Gata H kei is getting really... corny (not bad, just corny). I had high hopes for this one but its beginning to become unwatchable. idk what to make out of it (and Mayoi Neko Overun) but its.... not what i expected. :(
-
Oh man. That has to be a ridiculous amount of ecchi. I'm pretty excited for it now.
I hope I don't find it too corny when it's done. I'm worried to hear that knowing it's only on it's 5th episode. One of the only series that became unbearable to me was Zero no Tsukaima. By the end of season 1, I was annoyed with Louise. By the end of season 2, I was pretty much sick of Louise. By the end of season three, I was cringing anytime she talked. I understood that the voice actress does characters like Louise, but none of them have been that bad.
Anyway, what do you think of Angel Beats!? I'm hearing mixed things about it right now.

Otaku USA magazine dubbed it as, along with chu-bra i believe, among the worst anime to come from the winter season. I laughed mi ass off when i read the article. I guess it all depends on taste and how far is too far.
If you liked Queen's Blade, you may like it. If you hated Queen's Blade, you may still find yourself liking it.

Well, every show has its "WTF!?!? moments" and it could be that im just not equipped to handle these "Slice of Life" animes.
Maid-sama's very well done though so i dont think that's it.
I guess I have an issue with anime that's supposed to be an ecchi but has little to no fan-service. (and the most that happens is hand holding) >:(
Anyway, what do you think of Angel Beats!? I'm hearing mixed things about it right now.
Angel Beats is turning out to be fairly good. So far, the series has been building up its characters and backstories. unlike the other two series, the backstories are actually interesting.
Its still early and I havent watched the latest episode yet but I have high hopes for this one.
The only question i have is if the series is going to really go anywhere. A lot is being built up and learned but i wonder if any of it is really relevant.
The main plot is still relatively unknown. But the art and ost is pretty good. Its a good watch, but I wish they'd shed more light on the actual plot.
lol now that I think about it, this site needs spoiler tags badly.

I've never heard of it. Was it really that bad? Aside from the horrible voice acting, is it worth the watch?

If you're a fan of Shakugan No Shana and Toradora! You'll probably like the series. It features the same voice actress that did Shana and Taiga.
It's pretty much the story of girl who is at a magic academy but she is a horrible magician. They call her Zero because she has had absolutely no luck in casting. It basically goes from there. There are some really good storyline and character development, but it's just hard to handle the way Louise (main character) acts all the time. I think you'll find yourself rooting for/liking other characters more than her.
Pretty much only season one got picked up for licensing. It really was the best season out of the three. The other two have been left open, and I believe they were planning a new season, but I'm not sure they have the funding to do so...

They have to make a next season. Season 3 didn't end anywhere..

Looks as if this thread finally made it to the appropriate forum.
In response to Dvys:
I'm not sure if there will be another season. I actually hope there won't be another season. The best way for them to tie up the loose ends with a series like that is to put out a 4-6 episode OAV. This way the remaining fans can get closure, but they don't have to go into full scale with it. There is a reason only season one was picked up for licensing. A lot of people lost interested in season two and again with season three. In my opinion, they should have rapped it up with season two. Fans were still loving it after one finished, and they had the ability to do something great. Why they went the route they did, I'll never know.
Also, if an OAV or new season comes, I don't know when it will happen. I know they're in the works for a third season of Shakugan No Shana. Also with the success of Toradora! I imagine they are going to want to do something more with that. The leading voice actress is also involved with a lot of other series.
@Ghostman50:
Do you have any idea when the summer season is going to kick off? I'm curious about what's coming....
-
I actually loved Toradora and was rooting for Taiga the entire time (it was the crazy friend that I started to hate, until the end) so I dont think Zero no Tsumaiko will be too much different.
The summer season should start around late-June. But from Wikipedia, most of the start dates are on June 29th- july 3rd. That looks bout right.
I found some info about the new season lying around, got bored.
(http://i47.tinypic.com/2i74p03.png)
The one's that I could make out were Strike Witches, the third one on top, Shukufuku no Campanella (http://www.mmv.co.jp/special/campanella/) (the one to the right of Code Geass) and Mitsudomoe (http://www.mitsudomoe-anime.com/special/m01.html) (to the right of Shukufu) And from the looks of the poster, there could be a Ko-on season 3,
I found on another site that
Shiki (http://www.okiagari.net/)- corpse demon finally gets an anime.
and Densetsu no Yuusha no Densetsu (http://www.animevice.com/news/new-anime-summer-2010-spotlights-legendary-heroes-of-legend/4231/)
Not sure if this will be for Summer or Fall, but the Sekirei sequel (http://www.sekirei-tv.com/special/movie_pv02.html) will be out sometime this year. Cant wait.
There's an anime called Starry Sky (http://sta-ska.com/)... looks like a yaoi, could be good never know eh.
Nurarihyon no Mago (TV) looks cool too.
There is a partial list of the upcoming series on ANN (http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime/upcoming/tv). Im pretty sure more will be added as summer get closer.
Another horror is HighSchool of the dead (http://www.geneonuniversal.jp/rondorobe/anime/hotd/)
Chinka (http://www.chinka.cc/theatergallery.html), a series about loli firefighters. :-\

By some of those images it looks as if I'm going to have a good summer. ;D
Thanks for going through all the trouble to find those.
On the subject of Zero No Tsukaima:
It's not a bad series if you can deal with Louise. Toradora! was amazing. I also love Shakugan No Shana, but ZnT sort of got to me after a while. Maybe because I just liked some other characters more than her and there is some really good development that gets you a little riled up.
-

They all look like they have potential. I'm really looking forward to late June.
i was a bit surprised they decided to go through with a Sekirei second season. Its been almost 2 years, I cant wait.
I'm a little pissed at the idea of a new Code Geass. I "got it" the first time around. The ending was amazing. The series as a whole was great. why another ???
Oh and Nurarihyon no Mago (http://www.nuramago.jp/movie/index.html) looks cool too.
Spring 2010 update:
Ichiban Ushiro no Damaou, Angel Beats, kaichou maid-sama, Ikkitousen: executioner, and Giant Killing continue to be the best so far, imo
Im starting to get used to B Gata H Kei. it's weekly/bi-weekly awkward moment doesnt bother me as much as it used to.

This wouldn't be awkward if she wasn't referring to her brother.
