Anime Summer 2012

[Rednal]

Just remember that you're probably going to need a guide to actually understand Tsubasa. The ending is... complicated. ^^;

That said, this looks like a pretty good season. ^^ I'm looking forward to it.

..something just occurred to me..

remember velocity7 and B-T receiving special thanks in AQS' releases of clannad AS a couple years ago? any chance of same circumstances regarding SAO? maybe even Campione! to a lesser extent..

If there are simulcasts for these two series (very likely for SAO, less for Campione!), all the terminology would be confirmed by the anime production, so...

[Mystes]

If Campione! anime gets the terminology "Diavolo Rosso" for Erica, then there's a good chance that it's inspired from here.

SAO is confirmed for July 7th, a Saturday

[Mystes]

And my French friends could watch the first ep 2 weeks before...Misogi, take a secret shot of it, got it?

[Misogi]

I'm not sure if I can go to see them. (And the Episode 2 would be stopped at 10 minutes)

You'd be mad?

Campione's being animated by Diomedea, who also did nogizaka haruka no himitsu, so i'm a little hopeful, their art in NHnH was good the way i saw it, so i hope they at least maintain the same quality, and do a 2 cour for campione, if not i'm really gonna be pissed if they introduce Ena or even Lily in the first few episodes

[shichinanatsu]

my worry is that Campione's airing might end up similar to ZnT or HS DxD.. i do at least hope to see some justice on the urban carnage of v1..

for SAO, i guess it's safe to say expectations are all that.. guessing, 1st cour would be for Aincrad and sides - (preferably in LN's chapter order), then 2nd cour for Fairy Dance..

[ben1234]

I don't think you need an entire cour for Fairy Dance >_>

[shichinanatsu]

granted, you got me there.. i only thought it would be a bit too much to ask for Phantom Bullet as well without compromising the pacing; imo SAO+ALO and its subsequent ending would fit pretty fairly in a 2-cour with room to spare, with possible inclusion for Mother's Rosario.

there's also the likelihood of original content, whether of a fanservice-nature or not, maybe even the SAO/AW crossover, differing studios notwithstanding..

[Rednal]

Nn... I think I'd like to see SAO as a two-season program, covering the first four volumes... considering the first plot leads straight into the second and all. I'd want GGO as well, but that might be pushing it... So, no Sinon. >.<

[shichinanatsu]

@Rednal: SAO is a 2-cour (2-season) title.. you might want to rely on Moon Phase or Who Subs What for details.. others prefer Neregate though, but it is NSFW so consider yourself warned..

if you really want more of Sinon, i do remember reading about her included on a SAO drama CD, but as far as casting on the anime, nothing yet.

[shichinanatsu]

a bit late, but finally got around to watching some pre-air eps:
Campione!

Spoiler! :

as far into the translated LNs that i have read, i have wondered how exactly the story started - aka godou meeting erica and becoming a campione. so it being the content of ep01 was appreciated. no complaints so far, looking forward for the real ep01!

Spoiler! :

1st half of ep01, and i distinctly remember getting a headache atop of my flu-induced one at the time (couple days ago). maybe its just my pet peeve of k-on faces distracting me from the story's potential, not that i'm giving it A-rank like hyouka. anyway, given my 13-title watchlist i'm looking to ax some, so hopefully it won't be an outright thumbs-down.

Spoiler! :

You might wanna read the LN for the real info on how godou became a campione and actually met erica, since i can tell you this as the campione maniac i am, Diomedea changed alot and omitted about 80% of volume 3 in order to squeeze it into one episode, so i wont say what they portrayed is inaccurate, but it's kind of rushed. Relationship development between the characters is lacking in the anime, be it with Erica or Melqart or even Verethragna.
