ZeroG: What’s that? A show I never watched? That sounds like something I would definitively not want to watch.
Vantage: I did say this last season, but I’m not a Gundam person.
Myst: Meh. Gundam.

Vantage: The sequel to the most talked-about anime of 2009 has finally arrived! From the PV, it looks like the unique style of animation/narration is staying the same as Bakemonogatari. If its prequel is anything to go by, this will be an epic series of epic proportions xD

ZeroG: I stopped at Sport. Just reading that word makes me sweat.
Vantage: No matter how cautious I am from the fact that it’s a sports anime, the summary makes this actually sound interesting. Will try, but definitely not blog.
Myst: I like sports. I really do. I like playing them. Thus is how far my love of sports extends. I can’t watch sports shows.
Kaitou: Romance and sports don’t mix well.

Kat: Sports!!! No!!!

Smile Precure!

Animation Company: Toei Animation
Website: http://www.toei-anim.co.jp/tv/smile_precure/
Genre: Magic
Airing Date: February 5, 2012
Summary: An ordinary girl transforms to protect the earth! The 9th title in the “Precure” franchise, “Smile Precure!”.
Trailer: PV
Team Impression: 
Eva: I always try out the Precure series to see if it were to ever catch my attention and find one that I like. What I do like about this franchise is that the animation style is constantly changing. I’ll give this a look and if I like it, well I’ll give it a shot to blog. It looks like the characters are going to be younger than the ones from Suite PreCure! Now that i think about it, I haven’t exactly checked Suite PreCure yet…
ZeroG: What is this I don’t even.
Vantage: Ehh, not familiar with the series.
Myst: Another Precure? Forget about me on this, I never watched any of them and I don’t have the intention to start.
Kaitou: PRECURE AGAIN?! *hides*

Kat: Never watched any of this series.

Overall Thoughts:

Eva: Fortunately, it doesn’t look like there will be too much that appeals to me this season since I’m going to have my hand full taking care of my new pups and working. Since I’m sharing 2/3 shows that I will be continuing to cover into the Winter 2012 season, I could probably blog three at most unless I can juggle the time and blog while the pups are taking their naps. So this season there are TWO shows that I will guarantee I will cover right off the bat and hope for the best: Inu x Boku SS – Ever since I heard about this being green-lit I immediately called it because I enjoy the manga. AND THEN THAT AREA NO KISHI POPPED UP AND AISDYAJGSDGHASKJDHAG YES! SOCCER, MY LIFE. COVERING THIS NO MATTER WHAT. I haven’t read the manga, but from my experience (far too often) I end up disappointed because I read the manga before watching the anime and then blah blah blah you know the story, it doesn’t turn out as great as you hoped it to be. Other than that I have to restrain myself as I also have to remember that I will begin blogging Hakuouki: Demon of the Fleeting Blossom in February. It will definitely be a new experience as I’m completely inexperienced for both Otome games and writing about it.
ZeroG: Another, I believe this is the word for me. It looks like the only show that will really hook me this season. Everything else looks good too, but that one show might very well be golden from what I saw.  Otherwise the others show looks good overall, there is also two funny ecchi on the way. I just love myself some boobs of demonic girl. Nothing really stellar, but it is always something fun to watch, no matter how generic a ecchi can be. If it is funny, that’s all it takes. I don’t mind doing a season of only covering ecchi, someone has to cover them and I happen to be interested in that kind of stuff, so why not. Overall next season will maybe just as good or a little worse than this fall, but it shouldn’t be terrible. There should be something good for everyone in there.
Vantage: Similar to what happened with Fall 2011, a lot of my excitement about next season mostly stems from stuff I’m already familiar with, such as Black Rock Shooter or Nisemonogatari. Other than that, everything new looks pretty sub-par, but I’ll console myself by religiously sitting through Zero no Tsukaima F every week, no matter how shit it gets. I’ve learnt by now that these summaries can be misleading, as my biggest regret of Fall was not picking up Ika Musume S2 a bit earlier, since I had a bad first impression of it. Hoping to find a sleeper hit somewhere within that mess – already standing out though,  is Another, which has even higher expectations piled on it as P.A. Works is producing it.
Myst: My first impression to this season was that it would be absolutely terrible, however the more I look at it, the more I wonder… There’s a few interesting shows in this, and there actually aren’t that many that feel like they’ll be complete failures right off the bat. I guess most are average, so it could turn out into a really awesome and badass season, or a really terrible one, depending on what these shows give us. Then again… There’s Zero no Tsukaima F… (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻. I’ll never get over my hate of the second and third seasons of this mostly the third.
Kaitou: I had to dig around for excitement for this season, at least last time around there was a lot of detectives. I’m just wondering where it’ll all go from here, since you can’t tell until you get to it…but dear god, where are there so many horrible shows getting sequels? I can accept Black Rock Shooter for the sake of giving it another chance (and seeing huke’s working move Σ( ̄□ ̄ lll)), but this is a “sigh” season. Mindless entertainment for downtime during a school term, then. Grr. As Vantage said, summaries can be misleading, I’m just going to not sleep and watch all the first episodes of the ones that sound half decent, and make up my damn mind then.
Kat: I guess this is just like any other season. A mixture of hits and misses. That’s the wonderful world of anime for ya. I guess we’ll just have to wait until all of these shows air to figure out which -really- are hits and which are misses. I’m super excited for Rinne no Lagrange, and although everyone else seems to think otherwise, I see at least a glimmer of potential in Baby, Please Kill Me. I’m also really excited for the Bakemongatari sequel. I don’t know, I think I’ll just keep the rest of my comments to myself and see how this season pans out.

    Gundamn Remastered!?!? I’m so watching it!!!
    Black Rock Shooter was interesting, but I heard the quality from the trailers and all that got downgraded really hard.
    Another looks very interesting, it is one of the anime I am expecting most. (hopefully it doesn’t suck ass)
    Amagami SS+ XD I enjoyed it, but I am so confused right now, the description is the same as the previous one so how is this going to work out? A sequel? Is this gonna continue of after they are together or are they gonna have like bad endings in each heroine? I wonder….
    Papa no Iu Koto o Kikinasai, for some reason the cover reminds me of Suzumiya Haruhi O.o Ill give this show a try 😀
    I like the series they have for this season 😀 I hope they are all gonna be good. (Damn first time writing so much…..)
