It's Finally Here!!!
can't wait for this season to get into full swing, alot of good looking titles out there for the next few months, already got 22 titles i'm looking into, thankfully my saving grace of a guide can direct me to anything i've ignored, and i think it's started with Space Brothers |

After this first episode I can't really see myself watching this one. From the cheesy music to the cliched story of brotherly love, it's not really gelling for me. I am interested in the sci-fi aspects, so if that turns to be something I'll check back.

I agree. Insipid is exactly the right word for it. Nine minutes in and I was gagging for breath from the absolute lack or originality or creativity. And heck, many works can take an unoriginal premise and through good writing make it interesting; Hiiro no Kakera most certainly does not. It is really only for established fans of the genre, and even then there isn't much for them to celebrate. Last edited by dtm42 on Sun Apr 01, 2012 3:03 pm; edited 1 time in total |

Are you guys going to be covering Ozma? It technically started last season and is already 3 episodes in, but it is on the list of shows for this season.
Oh, and your link to the spotlight list directs to last season's shows. |

Of course they will. I mean, there's no way they'd miss covering Leiji Matsumoto, right? Right? |

It's 3 episodes in. This is the Spring Preview Guide. We don't really cover stuff based on a technicality. |

What technicality? It is a Spring 2012 Anime, and just because three episodes have been released in no way prevents you from covering the first one. It is also available on Crunchyroll, so there's no problem there.

You're right. It's a show that could and will be covered by us down the road when we're further in to the season and someone on the reviews team decides they want to do a full-length review. For the preview guide, I'm not going to ask the team to cover a show that's 3 episodes in. Our plates are full. |

Actually, there is a (live-action) family-friendly movie based on the same manga coming out right at the same time here in Japan, so your instincts are not off at all. I think the popularity of space right now is partly due to Hayabusa, which has had three movie adaptations in the last year. |

Ozma is apparently going to only be 6 episodes anyways.
Thoughts on it: The art and animation isn't particularly good but the story is interesting enough. I can't say I've ever seen one of Matsumoto's works before this (though I know of his reputation). |

Well I concede that it is a very busy season, with over thirty new shows airing. Of course the previewers have had two weeks to organise their thoughts on the episode, but whatever.

As the person who wrote the plot summary for Hiiro no Kakera, could someone confirm that (1) I got the details right, (2) especially the names of everything, like the sword or the princess? The website didn't provide furigana for the names and I had to make a best guess.
