I usually have a positive outlook on new seasons, but wow this season looks so incredibly bad. I won't even start watching all of them like I did in the previous seasons. The only shows that even remotely caught my eye is Darker Than Black 2, Winter Sonata (Is this a K-drama?) and The Three Musketeers (Uh, but it has already been animated so probably a hit and miss and there is no info on this). Maybe Kimi ni Todoke won't be useless. And Kobato is Madhouse so even though it looks childish I guess I'll have to check it out.

Well, Madhouse and CLAMP do seem to work pretty well together.

Yeah, Shauni, Winter Sonata is k-drama in origin. I'd bother with Three Musketeers if I don't love Dumas, and DtB2...gosh schoolgirl mahou shoujo image won't go away.

CLAMP's target audience has always been a tad odd, since I didn't read the Kobato manga (surprising even to myself), I am being rather optimistic about its prospects.

Well, it isn't exactly very far along...

I'm starting to take an interest in Aria, but I don't understand why I enjoy it so much. I guess it's just one of those "It's better than it sounds" shows.

I think he is more saying that there isn't anything particularly special about it far as premise and characters go? Aria is just a really nice series to relax with.

OH YEAH forgot to mention, TRC's ending has got people in an uproar. There's still an epilogue chapter left, but that hasn't stopped the nerd rage. Unfortunately, most of them are missing the point, and are badly in need of some xxxHolic edumakashun to straighten them out. Plus, they should know that CLAMP doesn't do the whole "gratifying end of series fanservice" shtick.

The only part of the uproar I'm taking pleasure in?

I recently watched Fooly Cooly again. Man I missed that show! I loved it when it first was released on T.V. in 2003. I watched it with my girlfriend and she was so fucking confused and I was like, "Well yeah, you have to watch it multiple times to even get it." But she did say that she was entertained and she thought it was the weirdest show ever. I love furi kuri though and it's amazingness.

I haven't watched ANYTHING from this past season yet (except for some Haruhi, but even that...-____- )...and I haven't even caught up on the season before.

Too bad this next season isn't looking very good either...):

FML I'm addicted to Hetalia. Thank god the episodes are only 5 minutes long so I can catch up to the latest subbed one in less than a day.

Blue Literature looks like it might be interesting, but I really don't have a clue what the genre even is. I'm under the impression it might be fantasy(?)

I want to watch Certain Scientific Railgun, but isn't that a sidestory to another series? o_o

Quite a few of these series are sequel seriess hmm.

This upcoming season doesn't look that outstanding, but... that's probably because the only things that look particularly exciting are sequels (of which there have been an enormous amount in the past few seasons, it feels) - and the surprises won't be revealed until there's a few episodes and they gain more popularity. (at least, I certainly won't catch them.)

I'll probably watch White Album 2 (just because I watched the first... not super excited for it though), the Darker Than Black sequel (which should be good), and To Aru Kagaku no Choudenjibou (A Certain Scientific Railgun) (which is the same world, at least, as To Aru Majutsu no Index - so a sequel/sidestory in a way.)
If there are any other amazing things that appear, I'll probably be checking this thread to see what they are :x

Finished Saki and Legendary Gambler Tetsuya... it's unfortunate that I don't have anybody irl to play mahjong with x_x getting the sports/competition anime type urge that I get after watching that sort of thing (like wanting to play tennis after watching Prince of Tennis, Go after Hikaru no Go... etc)
