It looks like the upcoming Naruto manga will be a short series so I hope the author reveals info about some of the characters in the aftermath or whatever that was left out.

Well, there's plenty of info about the upcoming series this week which is good. I wonder if Shokugeki no Souma will air in Spring though.

Seiken Tsukai no World Break has mechas? Wut, and I noticed the studio doing it already announced that they were doing Kuusen Madoushi Kouhosei no Kyoukan, guess they like their LNs.
Probably won't watch World Break though, seems even more generic than Kuusen Madoushi and that already looks like a generic LN, kinda had enough with high-school magic LNs.

Not suprised by Giovanni no Shima getting nominated, it was pretty but fell flat on it's face when it came to everything else, but hey it had a couple colorful segments and a kid died, for some reason, and that's all that matters, award-bait, as some would call it.

I feel like I already knew J.C. Staff was doing Shokugeki no Souma but I don't thnk that was confirmed before.

I honestly am a bit surprised on the Durarara!!x2 Shou, I'm glad I visited this thread~( I'm not uptodate with my animu)

Behold of my awesomeness~

I don't know if you're right or wrong, but what makes you think that? Isn't it a significant drop off in the number of new shows compared to this season? I think this season has 40 new shows and Winter 2015 has less than 30 right? At this point I don't know how many I'll enjoy, but less than 30 shows does seem relatively sparse.

There's at least 10 shows that will keep going, 12 would be the max I think.
Honestly not that hyped for Winter, not at all really, then again, Fall has been amazing for me so far and the shows that will keep going are good ones, Durarara and A/Z S2 will be nice, everything else is just like "I'll watch it, I guess", lots of CGDCT next season though so that's nice at least, will be a nice break from the action packed Fall.

Almost everything that I can't wait to watch for next year is in Winter 2015, it's not the sheer quantity of anime but how many can't miss anime I want to watch there is. I've been literally jumpy and impatient when it comes to anime this entire season to the point that I'm having the urge to count the days.

I'm actually more excited for Spring season next year than I am for winter. Ansatsu Kyoushitsu, Stardust Crusaders, KnB3, Tsukimonogatari, Durarara, and Tokyo Ghoul are the only winter shows I'm looking at still (And most are sequels or continuations), while I already have Lupin III: Part IV, Digimon, Baby Steps, Ninja Slayer, and Doamiger Z, which is impressive considering less than half as many shows have been announced.

Spring is too early to call for me as only 2 anime I want to watch were announced, hopefully Hello!! Kiniro Mosaic airs in the Spring.

Why are all my fav shoujo manga ending one after another? And also Naruto :(

Anyway, hoping Ghibli can take the Oscar this time around. Kaguya-hime looks pretty good.

I think, I can already see what the short story related to Naruto will be about.
I will watch all those Animu :3 Especially Shokugeki no Souma, I really like its character designs, and that girl.
Giovanni no Shima and Kaguya-hime no Monogatari looks great, no wonder.
They should animate all of the Ao Haru Ride chapters.
Congrats to Hekiru Shiina~ RIP to Kazuko Yanaga~

That was expected, considering all the dorama in the latest chapter of the manga. Would've been more surprised if they didn't make an announcement like this right around now :/

Good news for Naruto fans :D

Also, so much hype for Durarara. Nice to have all my favourite seiyuu in one place again. Like an Awesome Seiyuu Party ;-;

WIT already has Rolling Girls for their Winter show, so the best bet is probably it airing in Spring. I guess J.C Staff will start airing either Danmachi or Souma from Spring onwards so I'm hoping both of it won't be aired at the same time so they can focus on each one at a time.
