Will watch:
* Watashi ga Motete Dousunda - I'm reading the manga and, if done right, it can be really funny to watch. And Senpai animated *-*

Will try:
* Yuri!!on ice - The animations looks good and the music sounds amazing...why not.
* Trickster - GACKT OPENING!!!! O-O Sounds interesting, I like mysteries, let's see how it goes.
* Touken Ranbu - A lot of people told me about this game, so I'm going to check out this anime. Sounds interesting as well...lots of cute guys *-*
* Stella no Mahou - Sounds interesting since it is about making games.
* Magic Kyun! Renaissance - PRETTY! And I want to see how the art + magic theme is going to work.

* Cheating Craft - Synopsis sounds interesting...

I'm excited af for a few (fucking haikyuu!! I'm so ready....), but mostly mad at my incessant need to complete shit even if it's putting me to sleep.
some say dedication, I say morbid curiosity and masochism.
anything else can wait a few weeks so I'll have a backlog to smash through and decide what's worth my time.
Is nobody mentioning they're gonna watch Teekyuu S8 because that's already assumed by default, or what?
Sep 24, 2016 5:44 AM by Bird
Will Watch
Drifters: Looks cool enough
Yuri!!! on Ice: I liked the last two series Sayo Yamamoto directed, so I have to at least check this one out.
The Great Passage: This one just seems odd. It's a story about a dictionary writer? Hmmm wonder how that will turn out.
Lostorage Wixoss: Curious, how will the story fare without Okada doing the series composition? I liked Infected, but didn't think much of Spread.
Gundam IBO season 2: Wonder what direction the story will take now.
Bungo Stray Dogs Season 2: I hate the completist in me.
Leftovers
JoJo Part 4: Because JoJo is the just gureto
Sep 23, 2016 10:27 PM by prtorpedo
- Natsume Yuujinchou
- 3-Gatsu no Lion (watch it for umino chika, but honestly i don't think it will be as good as honey and clover)
might watch :
- Drifters
- Fune wo Amu
- Occultic;Nine

Nevertheless, the handful I'm interested in are: Occultic;Nine, Ajin 2nd Season, and potentially Trickster.
I'll keep an eye out on anime blogs to see what everyone's niche picks are and possibly jump on the hype train.
Sep 22, 2016 11:50 AM by Eidea
Definitely watching:
-Hibike Euphonium S2- loved the first season. Watching S2 is only natural for me.
-Sangatsu no Lion- Looks like a potential AOTS in my god. It's nice to see Shaft making something potentially good again.
-Bungou Stray Dogs S2- Gotta finish what I started. The story is picking up from here on out.
Might Watch:
Fune wo Amu- Could be the dark horse of the season. We'll see what everyone else thinks of it.
Drifters- Looks likes its trying too hard to be AoT, but hey, it could be great. There's definitely some hype for it.
Will Wait for Other People's Reactions:
-Yuri on Ice!!!- I like MAPPA. I like them a lot. But unless this show gives Free or Haikyuu a run for their money, I'm not watching it.
-Shuumatsu no Izetta- While the idea of a 1940s war story with a witch who rides a gun as a broom is pretty neat, the whole thing is so ridiculous. Plus you have the guy who wrote the script for Guilty Crown on board. It'll take a miracle to make this a good show. Maybe it'll be a so bad its good kinda scenario.
- ViVid Strike! - Nanoha as a show fell so damn low :( I miss StrikerS and other good seasons. This is the CLASSIC case of the author having absolutely no clue what made his show good and "going back to the roots" in such a way that makes it lose all that was good.
It really is true. Unfortunately, we're probably never gonna get something like StrikerS from him again. Damn, I miss classic Nanoha.

Bloodivores - might look terrible, and the Manhua I read wasn't actually very good but maybe it will be worth watching?
Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans 2nd Season - definitely going to be epic.
Natsume Yuujinchou Go - another amazing season without doubt.
Drifters - I enjoyed the OVA
Ajin 2nd Season - probably be worth a crack.
Udon no Kuni no Kiniro Kemari - interested in watching this.
Luger Code 1951 - hopes and doubts for this.
Star Wars Rebels season 3..... Surely everyone is watching this!
Was hopeful for some mecha... Well more mecha than just Gundam.

- Keijo
- Brave Witches
This season is somewhat a bit lackluster compared previous seasons

Vivid Strike(Because Digibro)
Show by Rock season 2(I hope it's good the PV showed nothing of season 2)
Iron Blooded Orphans season 2(I'll watch this after I finish watching the first season toonami)
Classilod(looks creative as fuck)
Yuri on Ice(Looks good and I hope it isn't softcore gay porn.)
A lot of the original shows look droppable. Also only adaptions I am checking out is All Out and Drifters. The other stuff looks like a dumpster fire.
Sep 17, 2016 7:02 AM by MasterHavik
Stella no Mahou (Because of the director)
Natsume Yuujinchou Go (Just Amazing)
Haikyuu!!: Karasuno Koukou vs Shiratorizawa Gakuen Koukou (Let's do this)
Should be a great watch :
Classicaloid (Love the cast)
www.Working!!(if it's half as good as the last Working Anime)
Hibike! Euphonium 2 (Loved the first season)
All Out (I hope it's better than what i expect)
3-gatsu no Lion (Heard good things, expecting good things.)
Keijo (Just for the troll of it.)
I don't know if i would watch till the end, but surely will try them :
Touken Ranbu: Hanamaru
Shakunetsu no Takkyuu Musume
Nanbaka
Yuri!!! on Ice
Drifters
Occultic;Nine
Udon no Kuni no Kiniro Kemari
Fune wo Amu
Rest:
I will probably try all of them. or at least the ones that looks watchable.

Watashi ga Motete Dousunda - The manga didn't really live up to its potential imo, and I wasn't planning on watching this but.... Serinuma sounded waaay cuter than I imagined plus seeing all the guys animated *o* Hopefully the anime will make it better than the manga, I felt like the manga didn't really have much plot development.
Nanbaka - A whole lot of flashy-looking characters *o* Still no clue what this is about, it just looks like a gag series. I saw Kimeru in the cast, didn't know he did voice acting :O Also Hosoya in the cast<3
Shuumatsu no Izetta - Ohhh looks like one of the girls is a witch of some sort?? Looks like a solid cast too
Yuri on Ice - AHHHHH I think this is the one I'm most hyped about -- the music, the figure skating, the animation looks great!!! I CAN'T WAIT
Other stuff that looks interesting - Touken Ranbu, Trickster (Gackt OP!), All Out (interesting looking charas), Magic Kyun (looks cheesy but I'll probably love it anyway. I like the music already), Drifters, Mahoiku (not digging the moe art style but the story looks good)

WOOOOOO Tourabu Hype!!
Sep 16, 2016 3:27 PM by stronyy
- Yuri on Ice
- Mahou Shoujo Ikusei Keikaku
- 3-gatsu no Lion
- Trickster (actually looks like it's gonna be good, no Ranpo Kitan please)
