Spring season is looking a lot more promising than winter, I hope it's up to expectations.

As for my watch list....

These 6 I'm pretty sure I'm going to watch all the way through, either because I've seen the previous series, I liked the original manga, or because of KyoAni. =p Or a mixture of the three. Never say never though:

Hayate no Gotoku!
Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS
Lovely Complex
Lucky Star
Nagasarete Airantou
Bokurano

I'm planning on giving these the first episode test as they've all caught my interest one way or another. Though, I'm kind of hoping some of these suck, because there is no way I have time for them all. =p

El Cazador de la Bruja
Kono Aozora ni Yakusoku wo
Sola
Kaze no Stigma
Hitohira
Claymore
RomeoXJuliet
Touka Gettan

These are the few shows that interest me, but I'll probably be dropping half of the list here ;P

Hayate the Combat Butler
Nanoha StrikerS
Seto no Hayanome
Idolmaster XENOGLOSSIA
Claymore
Wellber no Monogatari
Nagasarete Airantou
Romeo X Juliet
Darker than BLACK
Seirei no Moribito
Lucky Star
Bokurano
Kaze no Stigma
Princess Ressurection
THE SKULLMAN

There's no way I'm dropping anything in bold

I'll start off with a few, then maybe pick some up (or at least watch a couple of episodes of) if I like the looks of them from blog posts etc.

Hayate the Combat Butler (Recommended all over the place)
Lucky Star (KyoAni)
Claymore (Looks the most interesting from having read various descriptions of the new seasons)

You guys have sure seem to have a lot of free time. I try not to watch shows that are ongoing because I hate it if I get stuck on an episode that's a cliffhanger. Plus some of the series I did watch would be dropped in the middle of the season or the translators would quit or the whole group would just go under, ect.

I'm with Dan on this one. I usually wait until the anime is through broadcasting before I bother to watch it.

How do you keep up with so many different anime at the same time?

You don't have to keep up with them all. You just have to be very critical of the bad ones and then boot them off the list until you're down to a reasonable few good shows that you can watch all the way through. =p It's just like flicking channels when a TV show starts to get crap. ^^

If the season looks bad in general though I don't bother with this method, as you just end up becoming very cynical about the quality of anime....

I don't usually pick up watching an anime until it has had some reviews. I watched Kanon and SHnY from week-to-week because it was Kyoani. I also watch Bleach week-to-week, but that's only because it could probably go on for another 100 episodes.

>.< Bleach? I hated that show

I've never heard of Hayate the Combat Butler before but seeing as how so many people are putting it on their list I guess I'll give it a shot

Claymore Ep1

http://eclipse.no-sekai.de/

I enjoyed the first Ep, so I think I'll continue watching it. Nice gore fest anime to sink my teeth into.

Which can pretty much be summed up as gore

Ever read GANTZ before (Note the word READ, and not WATCHED)? It's hardcore gore I tell you

P/S: Monkey, how gory is Claymore? Does it compare to Elfen Lied/Gore/Higurashi?

EDIT: From Omni's blog Random Curiosity, it seems that RomeoXJuliet and Nagasarete Airantou are looking pretty good...

TheGiftedMonkey · Post by **TheGiftedMonkey** » Wed Apr 04, 2007 11:04 pm

Gore about every 5-10 mins or so. They don't skimp out on it either by turning the camera away.

On another note I watched Tengen Toppa and Touka Gettan.

Tengen can be described in one word. Facebots. Although I don't really like the concept of a giant face as a torso for a mecha, the characters themselves are pretty interesting. I'll watch a few more episodes and give it a chance.

Touka Gettan... How should I put this...

Spoiler! :

If you don't want to read the spoiler I'll just say it blew my mind... Go watch it!

*EDIT*

Just got done watching Heroic Age. BAD@SS! This is so far my favorite Spring anime.
