looks like little busters may actually be airing in the summer since the seiyuu cast was just announced
http://key.visualarts.gr.jp/lb_anime/index.html

Which pretty much guarantees it's not KyoAni, PA Works nor White Wolf doing the series, which are the studios most likely to do a good job with the project.

i wouldnt say that at all PA works can do two shows at once as for white fox i dont think key trusts them since the reason it took so dang long for LB to get a anime is cause they wanted nobody but kyo ani doing it and PA works are the only people they would trust with the project other then them due to angel beats. either way key is supervising the project so it will turn out good most likely.

Possible but I think it's more likely a Fall series.

It will be interesting to see when that April 10th magazine comes out if the animation studio is named. I think Key fans won't be liking DEEN, J.C Staff or Toei taking it up. It would be interesting if it wound up being SHAFT and Shinbo was the director.

its been confirmed that the studio will be announced in the mag and there will be a interview with one of the staff members for the anime possibly the director and since key is involved with the anime i think we can rule outdeen,jc staff and toei and only include the bigger name studios. if anything it will most likely be PA works or A-1 pictures. as for it being a fall series thats also pretty possible still whether it airs in fall or summer im expecting ALOT of people to ask cr to get it and sentai will no doubt grab it seeing as how well clannad and angel beats did.

PA's only ever done one series at a time. In fact, if their upcoming Hanasaku Iroha project is a series, it'll be the first time they've done two series in consecutive seasons.



I think Steins;Gate might be enough for Key to have them under consideration.

really? i guess we will find out on april 10th who really is doing it then and as for white fox thats true they did have them do the rewrite ops animation so they might have them do the LB anime.
edit: supposedly its jc staff.......adaption already confirmed to suck and it seems more likely to air in summer now though.

Kingdom: looks very interesting

Kono Naka ni Hitori, Imouto ga Iru!: I don't know. I think this premise is overused. Plus I'm not sure if I'm okay with incest as a romance, it depends.

Moyashimon Returns: No, just no.

Natsuyuki Rendezvous: Interesting. I might try it.

Hagure Yuusha no Estetica: Definitely yes

Rinne no Lagrange Second Season: Maybe if I finish the first series?

Sword Art Online: I'm really looking forward to this

Jinrui wa Suitai Shimashita: Looks very interesting

Koi to Senkyo to Chocolate: I am looking forward to this

Aruvu Rezuru: Kikai Jikake no Yousei-tachi: Maybe. I don't generally watch OVA's but I might try this

Muv-Luv Alternative: Total Eclipse: Probably not

Horizon in the Middle of Nowhere II: Might try it to see if it's better than the first season

Campione!: This looks very interesting

Oda Nobuna no Yabou: Maybe

Hakuouki: Reimei-roku: I haven't seen the first series yet.

La storia della Arcana Famiglia: The game was crap, but since it's JC Staff I might be willing to overlook that
:
Tari Tari: This looks like a slice of life, so probably not

Chouyaku Hyakunin Isshu: Uta Koi: No

Binbou-gami ga


Series not listed on the chart:

Dakara Boku wa, H ga Dekinai: interesting

Dog Days Second Season: I liked the first one, so........

Kokoro Connect: Very interested to see how this turns out

With J.C Staff doing Little Busters, that could mean it starts in Summer, but I wouldn't be surprised if that wound up being a Fall series.

J.C Staff doesn't have the best record as far as being true to the source material and the less I say about the Tsukihime anime(which some to this day deny the existence of) the better. J.C Staff can do great series though if they really put the effort in(Toradora, Ano Natsu de Matteru, Index, Railgun, Hayate Season 2, Shana III) so it is possible for them to do Little Busters justice and if they have lessened their workload, this could mean that they will get it more focus.

It will be interesting to see if Funimation goes for one of those TBS series this Summer.

key is supervising it as well as jun and the author of the original routes for kurugaya and komari and they are all keeping a close eye on it so it will likely be accurate plus they said they have a long time slot meaning it might be four cours my main concern is if they handle the drama portions right. and the staff know very well about fans expectations but still i dont have much faith in jc staff so im keeping my expectations low. i doubt funi will try to get the TBS series and LB will likely go to sentai like every other key work.

awesome! I'm liking the summer lineup. Spring just started and I'm already looking forward to summer! This is the way it should be. lol

I heard there might be a new .hack series this year. If so can anyone tell me if it is true.

La storia della Arcana Famiglia
^really looking forward to it... no reason. just looks interesting.

Others:
-Chouyaku Hyakunin Isshu: Uta Koi
because i'm a japanese culture freak.
-Natsuyuki Rendezvous
because i need another calming anime.
-Aruvu Rezuru: Kikai Jikake no Yousei-tachi (really... two episodes... =.=;;)
because it has to do with cybering.
-Sword Art Online

-Oda Nobuna no Yabou

then...
-Hakuoki: Reimei-roku

theres going to be a CGI film not a series though.

Still pretty early. Hopefully more stuff comes out this summer. In no particular order of preference, I'll watch:

- Kokoro Connect - interesting premise, good trailer, nice Horiguchi character designs.
- Yuru Yuri 2 - enjoyed the 1st season, glad it's geting a 2nd one
- Tari Tari - excited for PA Works' new project, some of the promo art looked pretty cool, but not sure if anime will keep that look
- Natsuyuki Rendezvous - new noitaminA josei series, trailer looks amazing so far.
