Attraction

So interesting. Attraction is an interactive Studio4c short directed by Koji Morimoto, and accompanied by a super fabulous Danger composed OST.

It's not long at all, and can be set to play in japanese with english subtitles. I won't say anymore than I already have as it easily spoiled.

You can, and everyone should, view it here:

Super cool stuff.

Some kinda sunrise toy ad animu series for kids. My ‘not give a fuck’ meter is running high.

Well, it's by Sunrise, it's an anime about playing card games to save the world... and they just killed the last protagonist one week before this new season started.

I really want to know how they kill the main character in a card game series for kids but can't do so in Gundam...

I always believe in giving every series a shot.

Chihayafuru, Guilty Crown will be good. Fate/zero will be the savior though. Disturbing lack of faith in some greatness.

I picked up Eden of the East on the cheap(around $50, with another boxset[Ranma OAVs] free). Is it as good as I've heard?
 
Definite Watches:
Gundam Unicorn
Fate/Zero

Give it a shot:
Guilty Crown
Last Exile

Will watch a couple years from now:
HxH, when they're reached the Chimera Ant arc

Phi Brain: God’s Puzzle

Anime Saving Potential: 10%

This could be pretty fun, who knows. Most notable thing about the show seems to be that Junichi Sato is directing, so maybe all the puzzles and mazes and such are just ploys to insert heartwarming scenes into hot blooded shonen situations.

My mind cannot comprehend this.

Oh great, another one of these. Animu is not dead.

Watching Guilty Crown, Persona 4: The Animation, and Invasion?! Squid Girl. Seems like a forgettable season.
 
Watching from start to finish:

Mirai Nikki
Hunter x Hunter

Excited for based on potential:

Guilty Crown
Persona 4
Fate/Zero
Horizon on the Middle of Nowhere

Will check out:

Phi Brain
Ika Musume 2
Maken-Ki
Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai

Average season.

He's worked on stuff other than healing animu, so I don't find it too surprising. Phi Brain doesn't look god awful, tbh, I'll be checking it out when it airs.

There's only like 45 episodes scheduled so far, so it might not even get there. It will probably do well enough to make it though.

Jintor had 99 posts so he almost made it.

EDIT: My appearance in the top ten was all thanks to Utena. It's all downhill from here for me.

True, I just associate Sato so strongly with Aria and similar shows that it's jarring to see. The trailer looks potentially decent and I do like puzzles, but I hope they're not going to make a ton of sliding block puzzles and call it a day.

Fucking Manglobe. Honestly, I don't think I'll be watching anything from this season besides the continued airing of Gintama, a few of those listed ovas, and MPD. I've flogged myself enough. I'm going into retirement.

The chart in the OP doesn't mention Hidamari Sketch anywhere in it.

Can someone please confirm / deny if there's actually some new Hidamari this season?

I don't even think the Hidamari Sketch special is confirmed for this season. Sounds like the date was a mistake.

A lot of sequels to decent, but not great shows. Working, Squid Girl, Bakuman. Guess if I have free time I'll keep up with them. Will definitely be watching Fate/Zero and Mirai Nikki, and try some of the other interesting looking ones.

Normally I'd at least give a new Gundam show a try too, but those are some absolutely horrid character designs. I don't know if I can get over that.

One day I realized that sadness is just another word for not enough coffee.
No worries guys, SHAFT will save anime twice next season.

It's the same exact art and animation to my eyes. Not sure about frame rate.
I'll have to hope this isn't another DBZ Kai, but I'm absolutely sure it's not old footage from the old series.

They look more bland than anything horrid or close to that honestly.
