We’re halfway through the Spring season, and it’s almost time to get on with the list for Summer 2013. A few excellent titles are in the mix for this season, and a few other promising leads. This season caught me up with so many titles I didn’t initially include in the chart, so I am going to try to get everything seated properly this time, even if that means making a post-chart after the first week. Anyway, let’s see what we have in store based on charts from these fine sources:

Anichart – Summer 2013
Neregate – Summer 2013

Spring time is almost here, and that means it is time for another season of the animated cartoons. For the first time in several seasons, I am starting off this new season with a clean slate, no shows coming over from previous seasons, and only Space Brothers coming over from last year’s Spring season. Some big names return for this Spring, including Railgun, Nyaruko-san, and Ore no Imouto. They’ll be joined by some potential heavy-hitters, and everything else fit to print. Continue on for graphical chart form. I re-worked my chart format to be a little neater than before. Lemme know how that works out for you.

I normally try to get a chart together before the final weeks of the season, but @animucharts hasn’t released a new one, and I’m not sure how accurate others are, so I’m going to cobble together a quick look at what is on the docket for next season and make it visual later this week. DO IT LIVE!

I Wish, That I Could Turn Back Time

November 16, 2012 in Upcoming

Japanese fans will no doubt be heading to the theaters to watch the release of Evangelion 3.0: You Can (Not) Redo this weekend, the third movie in GAINAX’s four-part release of The Rebuild of Evangelion series. Kotaku posted a clip of the first few minutes of the movie as it aired from Nippon TV’s special earlier, and right off the bat it looks like we’re gonna see some hot eye-patch-Asuka action. I imagine it will be awhile longer before we get the DVD/BD release and someone cool gets a copy up on the internet for us to view, I’ll be buying the BD either way, because it really does look better in HD.

Evangelion is, well, Evangelion.. some like it, some don’t. It’s one of those shows that holds a special place in the chronicles of my weeaboo fandom being one of the earliest mecha shows I’ve seen, and also one of the most confusing anyshows I have seen. You can catch both of my reviews on the first two films here and here. Strap in, boys and girls, you mustn’t run away…

Edit: I’ve been going through those old reviews fixing the formatting and it occurs to me that they really could use proper revisions. I may consider re-writing new reviews of the first two Eva movies when I re-watch them.
