Spring 2012 Anime Season Preview and Future Plans

This season just zoomed by us despite winter never arriving. Now, the next plan of action is the Spring Anime for this year. Like always, I have a selection of shows I’m to watch.

In addition, I will reveal some future plans on my blog and summer plans. (Image Source)

Spring Preview

The purpose of this preview is to share my expectations on the shows I will watch in the upcoming season in addition to Mouretsu Pirates. If you want a more in-depth preview, check out Honya’s or just browse the Aniblogosphere for other people’s impressions.

 Shows I will Watch

Self-explanatory and will most likely start where they left off with the battle between Saber and Caster.  I predict that the second part will get a bit more interesting as everything in the first part was already laid out.

Oh yes, more Weaver and Rider please!

There is no surprise that I watch anything that Kyoto Animation release.  Although Nichijou entertained me, it had a few issues. Then again, this might turn out differently since this is an adaptation of a mystery light novel. With that, I’m interested.

Questionable

Although I never played the game, I find adaptations of Japanese RPGs very interesting from my experiences when I watched the first thirteen episodes of Tears to Tiara. On the other hand, I have listened to the opening for the game that Lia sung last year and of course I liked it. So, I suppose I shouldn’t waste this opportunity.

I’m doing it for the LOLz

From my initial impressions, I don’t this show will be good at all since it will most likely appeal only to the fans of AKB48, a popular idol group which I have no interest in. Even so, I got a feeling that this show will become a horrible mix, which takes what made Macross Frontier great and then combine it with the terribleness of Xenoglossia. Then again, it might become watchable because Mari Okada will do the writing for this show.

Here is the posting schedule on when I expect to make the posts for the above series. They are subject to change depending on sub availability and airing times.

Future Plans

Aside from the Aniblog Tourney that starts next month, I don’t plan on having too many interruptions once Spring Semester ends and that I highly doubt I will get an internship at this rate. However, I will possibly go away on vacation during August to Boston. Therefore, there might be a little interruption, but never a hiatus.

Secondly, I’m planning an early move off the current host to a virtual private server during the summer. I found a cheap and reliable one, so I don’t have to deal with constant downtime and unresponsive customer service. Since I have to manage it on my own, I must prepare for it so the transition goes smoothly. When I’m ready to move, I will temporarily disable comments until it’s complete and then enable them. Before this happens, I will notify everyone when the time comes. ¶
