| The cast for the Initial D movie seems pretty stacked, I'll most likely be checking that out. Also the character designs for Hanayamata are so cute that I pretty much have to watch it. |

| Oh SAO. Hopefully this time it doesn't screw up like the second half of the first season. |
 |
| Bakumatsu Rock had a first PV? I only saw the preview last night. Anyways, looking forward to Persona, Initial D, and Uchuu Senkan Yamato 2199 the most from that list. The first Sinbad OVA was also awesome, can't wait to see the second half. Sucks about Hanamonogatari delay though. |

Fingers crossed that A-1 won't fuck up, but seeing the first season plus that fanservice special, they probably will. Same, I enjoyed it as well. I thought the first season was fairly good, but some improvements definitely could have been made. I'm very curious to see how this upcoming season will turn out.

| SAO was a flawed show, but i enjoyed it thoroughly ("so bad it's good" kind of thing, i suppose). The wacky plot, hilarious imouto stuff, and over the top villain were the most obvious banal aspects of the show that surprisingly i didn't mind too much, instead i found them to be completely hilarious and entertaining. Call me a dork all you want, but the Suguha-Kirito drama on eps 22 totally had me in stitches. So yeah, so long as SAO II can maintain the same level of wackiness for the whole season, it'll have a chance to be a great guilty pleasure. Btw, genderbending Kirito with fluttery long hair on the PV looks pretty hot. |
| Aww, Hanamonogatari is delayed. SHAFT, you troller. Anyways, nuff said, SAO II will cover 2 volumes of the novel, so it means, this season can only get 12 episodes? |
| The world shall know the truth soon. |
| da hell, delayed by five weeks they said. :/ But yeah its good to hear that those 5 eps will aired all at once on August 16th. Worth to wait. |
