I blame it all on the low birthrate. The idea of a cute younger sibling who looks up to you with dewy and calls you big bwutha and wuvs you so much! has an appeal, and because more and more young people in Japan are only children, they (1) don't get automatically squicked by the idea and (2) don't understand that little siblings are actually really, really annoying. |

Looks like another interesting season, definitely looks to be way better than 2010's winter season.
Looks Excellent: Fractale and Hourou Musuko. Looks Good: Mahō Shōjo Madoka Magica, Level E, and Yumekui Merry. Looks Fun: Kore wa Zombie Desu ka?, Freezing, Rio - Rainbow Gate!, Dragon Crisis! Looks Iffy: Infinite Stratos, GOSICK, Beelzebub, and Wolverine. Looks bad: Oniichan no Koto Nanka Zenzen Suki Janain Dakara ne—!! Not interested: Mitsudomoe Season 2 (Dropped the first one in an heartbeat) and From Me to You Season 2 (Never watched the first season). |

Yes!
Hourou Musuko - Do I even need to explain? Level E - Whether or not I continue depends on if they can pull it off well... Wolverine - I love Western comics, too, so I'll give it a shot. Maybe Beezlebub - Started the manga a bit ago and it was okay. Haven't read any of it since. I might check it out...Though I never understood why the kid was spoiler[naked] 24/7. Unless they explained it at some point... Fractale - I love noitaminA but dislike most romances (which I fear this may become). The art is nice and story a bit intriguing, so I'll check it out and see if I want to continue. Ehhh... Cardfight!! Vanguard - Part of me just wants to see what it will be like. But it'll probably be...bad. Gosick - This one has actually got some nice reviews to back it up...But I fear that it might be on the cliché side. No Dragon Crisis! - [Kisaragi Ryuji] finds a [box] and meets a strange girl who is actually a [dragon girl]. Freezing - Seems like another generic master/fighter male/female thing... Infinite Stratos - [Orimura] is special and can [operate heavy machinery when only women can] so is sent to [a special girls school]. Kimi ni Todoke 2nd Season - I've heard good things and all, but I just don't like romance. Kore wa Zombie Desu ka? - Generic-ness with some apparent unique twists which will undoubtedly turn out to be generic and annoying. Though perhaps I am wrong... Mahō Shōjo Madoka Magica - Seems cutesy, but not my thing. Mitsudomoe Zōryōchū! - Didn't even bother with the first season. Oniichan no Koto Nanka Zenzen Suki Janain Dakara ne—!! - .......... Rio - Rainbow Gate! - Seems strange (which is fine), but pointless and pandering. Yumekui Merry - [Fujiwara] is special and can [see pretty colors] and [has cat dreams], so one day [a girl falls on him]. Note: I don't mean to offend anyone^^ And, hey, maybe what I perceive as generic initially ends up...not being generic. Though romance is a major turn-off, so those several of those titles don't stand a chance with me anyway. So, an okay turnout for me...Some titles to watch, but not a huge amount. Hopefully it will all be legally streamed... Last edited by RestLessone on Tue Dec 21, 2010 10:11 pm; edited 1 time in total |

I'm going to check out a few shows for the upcoming season. I know for a fact that I will watch Mitsudomoe Season 2 and the Oniichan show.
I might also check out Infinite Stratos, Mahō Shōjo Madoka Magica, Dragon Crisis!, and the zombie show. |

Whoever thought of adding this 'upcoming anime list' should get a raise, or even promoted.

Wow, there's actually a lot I'm looking to check out!
Definitely checking out Infinite Stratos, Fractale, GOSICK, and Beelzebub. Those sound the most interesting/promising. Secondary is looking like Dragon Crisis, Freezing, Level E, and Yumekui Merry. Yeah, they sound pretty typical, but who says typical can't be good or enjoyable? I won't go into those with high expectations. Hourou Musuko sounds... interesting in the way that it may make me very uncomfortable. But its good to have your comfort-zone rocked every now and then, so I'll give that one a go. Oh yeah, I might check out Rio because... that girl is hot Like others, I'm a bit burned out on the incest stuff, so no little sister-love stuff for me this season. Magical lollies don't really get my attention either even one of them is done by SHAFT, and I have no interest for either of the sequel series'. This coming season definitely shows promise of being a better season than this last one at least, which makes me happy enough ! |

They've always had one if you look under the "and more" on the encyclopedia tab. I do believe this is the first time they've reminded everyone of that fact on the front page, though. |

The low birthrate thing may apply for Japan, but it doesn't come anywhere near explaining all of these Western/International fans running around throwing out the term "wincest"... |

Really excited for Wandering Son. I believe that will be the first anime that I've seen dealing with transgender issues with gravity. I hear the source material is good, so I have high hopes. Also, I find shows that deal with gender issues really interesting.
As per my personal rule, I'll check out Fractale; ever since last spring season, I've made it a point to try anything and everything that comes out of noitaminA. Definitely looks promising. Finally, I'll probably try Gosick because it's from BONES. Possibly Infinite Stratos, too. |

Unlike others, I acclaim this winter season for being full of awesomeness.
Things that I watch and destined to be great: 1. Madoka Magika: Obviously, it is not just Shaft that makes this most anticipating one. Urobuchi Gen is writing entire storyboard and script, and he is god damn master. Story is almost 'destined' to be good. Knowing this ranked first in '2ch' version of anticipation list, I'm kinda taking bandwagon in this. However, it doesn't change the fact this is the single most hyped anime of all, unlike others think it is. 2. Yumekui Merry: This was ranked second in 2ch anticipation ranking, just one point behind MMM. Dream-world setting is really really interestingly presented in manga. Characters are cool, and this is the first manga from Mangatime Kirara-forward to get anime adaptation, so hype is definitely large. JC Staff directing definitely fits this particular series. 3. Fractale: This will not be your original noitaminA series, due to Yamakan involvement. This will have moe, and massive degradation in art from original concept design, just like we've seen in Sora no Woto. However, Yamakan said he will even retire if this anime fails, so I'm just watching it for his good. 4. Dragon Crisis: PV rocked for me. That's all it needed 5. IS: Infinite Stratos: PV and staff casting was very good. That's all it needed. 6. Gosick: Horrible staff casting, but still very interesting. Some kind of mystery and 'all hail Victoriaque' is all I'm expecting. 7. Oniichan no Koto Nanka Zenzen Suki Janain Dakara ne—!!: PV and interview from the director promised very interesting way of directional elements. Regardless of theme, I will watch for guilty pleasure and quality directions. 8. Kore wa Zombie Desuka?: Shit light novel, but PV promised something good and insane out of it. Kimi ni Todoke: Must watch since I've watched 1st season. Huge possibility of dropping after 1st episode: Hourou Musuko: Looks so boring. I don't care about story or whatever. If it makes me boring, it means nothing. What I need is dynamic direction, creativity in animation and moe-ness. PV of this only promised me cross-gender slice-of-life theme; thus this has inevitable fate of being underrated forever. As every noitaminA animation did before, I will end up only watching first episode,and forget about it. But, I will definitely read manga, which is always less boring than anime form when this kind of story is presented. Rio - Rainbow Gate!: Inoue Marina voice. That's it. Not watching: Wolverine: Original Breaker. Starry Sky: This is for fujoushi, the dark side. I will never, ever touch this. Beelzebub: This will be mainstream anime, not late night. Studio Pierrot, thus no need to watch if I know manga. |

I take it you don't know were a series of Marvel anime planned. X-men and Blade are due up later in 2011. |

A good chart (the one I use for my "Winter Anime 2011" topic on CR) has been out for almost 2 months now, but from cowboybibimbop, not Chartfag, who basically quit after Fall 2010. As to Freezing, I am betting that ends up as The Anime Network's simulcast this season. It would seem to fit the "action+ecchi" formula of their simulcasts for the current and past 2 seasons. For those that want a peek further down the line, I recommend: http://countdown.mandragon.info/confirmed.html |

Is there any chance Level E is gay/BL? If it is, I'll be watching it for sure.

That's because they're only listing the shows that start in January 2011. Suite Precure does not start until February 6, 2011. |
