Magi's mangaka was probably thinking: "How can I make my generic manga look more mature? Wait, I know: I'll kill off some main character!"

as if she doesn't already try her hardest by making everything so edgy you could cut yourself while reading/watching the series

Missing links for seiyuus Ryoko Shiraishi in Blade and Soul and for Toshiyuki Toyonaga for Captain Earth. These are them right?

It's rare for Kawasumi Ayako to get a main role nowadays aside from recurring ones so I might watch Fuuun Ishin Dai☆Shogun. Plus the synopsis is kinda lulz. Also, JC Staff.

Matsuoka Yoshitsugu doing another main role. Instant watch for me. Though only 13 minutes for Mangaka-san? At least it won't take up more time so I can pick up another one next season.

Hyped for Sinbad OVA with that PV. And Kanojo ga looks so generic I can't resist to watch it. inb4 judging my taste.

Isn't the Akame ga Kill anime only more like a teaser rather than a preview?
Anyways, thanks for the update. Can't wait to see a full PV for Mekaku City Actors and Mahouka.

Nice to see Space brothers getting some recognition.

Looking at the merits of both shows, Uchu Kyodai can give AoT a run for it's money any day.

Btw a mod needs to change the airing date of Gochuumon wa Usagi Desu Ka?, that source clearly says 4/10 at 22:30 while MAL has it listed as 4/11.

Even better Sena's also a small woman not a loli tsundere so there's a good chance I'll like her.

Yeah, it's definitely nice to see her voicing a different trope for once. I really do like KugiRie's voice acting, but I couldn't really appreciate how she was only used to voice young and angry tsundere girls. I remember how sweet her voice was for Hasta, that's mainly what got me started on traps. :3 But I still have a stronger preference to regular girls, so this'll be a definite plus for me!

I still can't help but look forward to this anime. I've had the manga on my PTR for quite some time now and I have quite a few friends that really enjoy it.

I think it's trying to communicate with us.
