Everyone’s doing their summer season line-ups, so there’s really no reason for me to post links and pics to every single summer season show. This post is to summarise what shows I’m likely to watch, and in what order of anticipation.

The only Hachikuro fanart I can find on danbooru and it’s loli-Ayu. At least Hagu only LOOKS loli.

1. Honey & Clover II

Honey and Clover

2. ハチミツとクローバーII

Is so awesome that no words

3. Hachikuro II

Can do it justice.

4. Hachimitsu to Clover II

No words.

5. NHK ni Youkoso!

The manga started a little depressing but very funny. Now, in its fourth volume, I find it far more depressing than funny, as both Satou’s and Misaki’s problems really come to the fore. I’ll be watching this anyway because it is Welcome to the NHK!, but I don’t know if I’ll have the power to persevere through an entire season of it.

6. Coyote Ragtime Show

With a name like that and such strong production value, this is looking like it could be in the vain of similarly named Cowboy Bebop and Samurai Champloo. If it ends up like those shows than it will definitely be worth watching.

7. Tsuyokiss

I’ve been brainwashed by Ayyo. [zombie]cool x sweeeeet.[/zombie]

8. Tonagura

I hate harem show, but at least this one looks like it’ll be pretty, and possibly even funny. Hopefully on top of the prettiness it’ll have some substance to back it up.

9. Otogi Jushi Akazukin Bundan

I saw sketches for this in a magazine a few weeks ago, and I fell in the love with the cute but detailed character designs. I downloaded the first episode of the OVA but I still have to watch it. Again, hopefully there’s enough content to allow me to stay awake through the oh-so-pretty moving pictures.

This short list doesn’t mean I won’t watch the other shows, just that there is very little incentive for me to download them. If a show gets really good reps, I might give it a go. Hopefully there will be as many quality shows this season as there were last!
