Autumn 2013 – Season Preview

October marks the beginning of the final anime season of 2013.  The Autumn anime season is typically a heavy one, marking the beginning of many new shows and the return of a number of favorites that were lucky or popular enough to be brought back.  And Autumn 2013 is no exception, seeing as the line-up for this season has numerous amounts of potentially good or great anime to choose from.  And as is the case with every season, these next few weeks are crucial to deciding which shows are worth keeping and which ones can be forgotten.  And as with every anime season preview prior, I’ll take a quick but largely complete overview of all the shows airing this season while also including my thoughts and plans for each show.  So onward, to the Autumn 2013 Anime Season Preview!

First Week Impressions – Winter 2011

With the first week of Winter 2011 coming to a close, it’s time to look back and evaluate some of the shows that have aired. I’ve watched the first episodes several new shows: Kimi ni Todoke Season 2, Puella Magi Madoka Magica, Infinite Stratos, Yumekui Merry, Gosick, Freezing, and Beelzebub. I am also planning on watching Fractale and Wandering Son which air this week on the noitaminA block.

I’ve already written a mini-recap and my reactions to three shows I plan on blogging (Kimi ni Todoke Season 2, Puella Magi Madoka Magica, Freezing, and the fourth being Fractale) this season. Being my first season writing about anime, I’m attempting to be rather diverse in the genres I’m watching and writing about. You get a wide range of styles between shoujo/romance, magical girl/Shaft, fighting/ecchi, and fantasy/adventure. However, those four aren’t the only shows I’m planning on watching this season. In this post, I plan to give my opinion on the other four shows I’ve watched and my best guess as to whether I’ll finish the series out or drop it before the month ends.
