There also are some interesting movies, i.e. a Detective Conan Movie, and Kuro no Sumika -Chronus- about a high schooler who can see entities stealing souls (well, everyone can, just look at the next Aizn).


This time I actually look forward to the season. I'll try the mysteries, Break Blade, and perhaps some of the slice of life. Oh, and, of course, the Alzheimer thing...

 

My body is ready for more JoJo's.

 

Where's the Fate/Stay Night remake? I thought that was happening soon.

 

Hell yeah it is. Nothing else matters, JoJo's is back. Stardust Crusaders is a really good arc, too.

 

Probably Summer or Fall Lamora, I personally hope Fall with the original Gundam remake being Summer that way I have plenty of shows to keep up with.

 

In the Autumn 2014 season, so have to wait until September. =(



Anyway, it looks like this season has a lot of stuff that could be alright, or could be boring.

 

Looking forward to Baby Steps - the first sports manga I actually enjoyed.

Gokukoku no Brynhildr - looked interesting, so I started the manga. It's ok, I guess. I'll at least watch the first few episodes.

 

More sports animeeee

God, the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure anime is so good, and with Stardust Crusaders being a really fantastic arc, I am so fucking excited. This season can't start soon enough.
