Spring Anime of 2013 [Version 2.0]
dbml:
Now that the new season is nearly upon us... my updated list!
Following:
Uchuu Senkan Yamoto 2199 - Looks to be a survival anime, one of my favorites.
Oreimo - Sigh. Watching since I watched season one I guess.
Shingeki no Kyojin - The manga's more brutal than Gantz and Berserk... so hoping for the best.
Railgun - More Kuroko! That is all.
Aku no Hana - Yesssss. Holy hell. Something even crazier than School Days... in anime form. I don't expect the drama to translate well though... but I'm staying guardedly optimistic because I want this to be good.
Then about eight other series I'll give the one (to four) episode trial run. This looks to be a really strong season!

Will watch :
Hyakka Ryouran: Samurai Bride - I enjoyed Season one and want to see more Yagu antics.
Hentai Ouji to Warawanai Neko - a Friend of mine drones about this constantly, so will give it a shot.
Maybe:
Uchuu Senkan Yamato 2199 - Sucker for scify, so why not

How did this get a second season? No offense intended, but it wasn't great and it ended... :o
Railgun, of course. Nurarihyon, yeah!
Ro Kyu Bu, obligation to watch follow-up. Hayate no Gotoku and Ore no Imouto, same.
Surprised to see a Hanasaku film, but nice.
And finishing the tank girls, sure... guilty pleasure.

The biggest surprise to me is that they include a rerun. Not that I don't think Katanagatari isn't worth being a rerun.

Why ?
The show wasn't Great in a way the Mirrai Nikki was but it was a good show.
The art style was good and gorgeous to look at, the characters personality were fun and not annoying, the story was simply and still had a twist that made sense. I really like the character of Yagu Jubei both as a badass master Samurai or as a cute girl with the IQ of a Gerbil, the rest of the cast was fun too.
The fanservice and Echhi elements was well used most of the time to help the comedy, just some weird things like activating the villain through a Lesbian sex session made no sense. It was fun to watch Watabe and Hanzou training to kiss Muneirika and the villain finally did what anyone with a brain would do if the Hero has an Haram : Pretend that you are part of the Harem and then try to kill him.
The ending in the DVD/BR is extended the TV ending, as Yagu Jubei the cute girl returns. Technically it makes sense because basically there was two souls sharing the same body, the soul of the Master Samurai sacrificed itself to destroy the villain and the soul of the cute Jubei who then returns.
(click to show/hide)In the last episode Jubei cute girl soul basically commit suicide to allow for the soul of the master Samurai to take over her body permanently so they can defeat the Big Bad, so it wasn't in the body when it was destroyed.
For a whimsical anime it was a good emotional moment to see the goodbye kiss, especially because she doesn't tell Muneirika that she is basically going to die to save everyone.
So for season two Yagu is probably going to lose her powers because her other soul was destroyed, lets wait and see.
The cynical view would be that the uncensored BR and OVA sold like Cupcakes :angel:
