Upcoming anime you're looking forward to

There seems to be a lot of good anime coming up soon. Three that stand out to me are Cencoroll, Despera and Bakemonogatari. Cencoroll already has a couple of trailers out whereas Despera only has some magazine features; it's been said that it will be serialised in a certain manga magazine first but it's not that the anime is based on the manga; they're both just different ways of telling the story. Bakemonogatari starts in a week, I think.

Cencoroll


Despera


Bakemonogatari, or Ghostory in English.


So what about you guys? What series are you looking forward to? Oh, I also heard there's a second series of Ouran but it seems to be just a rumour.

Spice & Wolf season 2. That's about it really, because I haven't bothered checking up on what is coming out for the summer. The fall and winter anime releases are usually better in my opinion and there are a few things I am hoping for.

I know, it's not exactly similar in a sense, it's just that there's already a much better thread that was created not so long ago. :razz:

Heck, I even posted an update just a couple of days back. Either way, I'm not implying that this thread be locked immediately or anything (don't care much about those things anymore) but just to serve as a reference, here's the link to the thread I was talking about.

Btw, if I'm not mistaken, Cencoroll and Despera are both animated films. I doubt we'll be able to watch those anytime soon, unless of course we fly to Japan and watch them at the theaters there. Even so, understanding Japanese dialect also needs to be taken into consideration. (which probably wouldn't be an issue to you, Teclo)

Anyway, if there's any movie that really interests me in this upcoming summer season, it has got to be SUMMER WARS.



PS: Bakemonogatari (which is one of the series that I'm looking forward to this season) will indeed start airing next week, at exactly my birthday (July 3). I'll very much appreciate it if you can send me just a humble greeting. :)

I did do a quick search for "upcoming anime" but nothing relevant came up. To be honest, this was more of an ad for the shows I'm looking forward to (since they're not the typical moe crap, I felt it'd be nice to give them a bit more attention) and I thought it'd be nice for others to recommend some stuff back.

I think Cencoroll is either an OVA or movie, going off the quality of it. Despera sounds like it's either a series or OVA. These guys seem to make TV series rather than movies - things like Lain, Haibane Renmei and Texhnolyze.

I just made a quick search on Despera and from what I've gathered, It's just pretty much in the works, more of like in its development stage. Even an official announcement regarding the project has yet to be made.





With that, I doubt that we can expect this series any time soon, at least not this year, I think. Though it definitely caught my interest, I'd rather set my sights on what's ahead at the moment.

Also, with regards to "advertising/recommending" certain anime series/titles, I do that at the specific anime section. God knows how many threads I've already created for just this upcoming summer season alone. (8 I think)

Before I forget, likewise according to ANN, Cencoroll is a movie.

Same here, and i waiting for Zero no Tsukaima season 4.,

S&W2, Princess Lover, and the To-Love-Ru OVAs.

OMFG season 2 for spice and wolf and season 4 for zero no tsukaima. first time i heard of it O.O. well im definitely going to watch those ^^

Despera is being serialised in Animage starting next month and should run for a year (sounds like a lot but that's only 12 chapters...) Maybe the anime will come out after that, but I think it'd be nice if they ran alongside each other and looked at different aspects of the story.

I just had a sudden urge and actually ended up subscribing to Animage - for the price of each issue I could nearly get a 6 month subscription to Retro Gamer. Despera had better be fucking good!

Shakugan no Shana III and Spice & Wolf season 2 are the ones I'm currently waiting for^_^.

But after reading some of the posts in here I think I might add one or 2 more.

Umineko no Naku Koro ni. I'm guessing its like Higurashi and stuff. Can't wait argh.,..

You could just play the VN. Just like with Higurashi, they're bound to miss out shitloads of stuff with the anime.

Summer Wars
Bakemonogatari
Umineko
Tokyo Magnitude
CANAAN
Zetsubou
Winter Sonata (lol)

I'm looking forward to Canaan, a type moon production.

Well sort of. Nasu wrote a scenario for a game and then PA Works made an anime based on that scenario. It does seem good, though. I don't really follow voice actors, or base what shows I watch on them, but this has Maaya Sakamoto and she's voiced some of my favourite female characters like Lark (there are like a million ways to spell that) from Diebuster and Haruhi Fujioka from Ouran High School Host Club. Also Rie Tanaka who did Suigintou from Rozen Maiden.

Though I'm wondering, is that Canaan character with a red top a man or woman?

A woman :)

I had her confused at first sight as well. :P

I'm looking forward to spice and wolf II
and Shakugan no shana III

Life is kinda getting boring when almost most of the good on-air in japan animes were finished, So this would be something I would be looking forward to
New characters
New story line (Or Continuation)
And New complications

I'm looking forward to another KissxSis episode. Alas, it won't be until like... November.
