2015 Winter Season Anime List.

What are you guys excited for?

Personally, I'm excited for KanColle and Death Parade, and of course, I'll be secretly watching Kamisama Hajimema****a with my sister.

I love KanColle because I just love those marine type slice of life anime in general, with me being a fan of Full Metal Panic and Arpeggio of Blue Steel. Not to mention I have some experience with the game which was painful because I can't read Japanese Kanji. Still, I have prepped myself with KanColle Nendoroids and figures in hype of the new series.

Death Parade is setting itself up to be another one of those psychological thrillers. In my experience, pretty much every psychological thriller has been fantastic, with things like Steins;Gate and Mawaru Penguindrum being some of my all time favourite anime.

Kamisama Hajimema****a is shoujo through and through, with similarities being drawn to things like Kamigami no Asobi, Special A and Kaichou wa Maid-Sama. They have a cute moe, somewhat tsundere, relatable, cute female lead and is packed with prettyboys. My sister loves it, I pretty much have to love it or else I don't get fed. Funnily enough though, they still haven't released the second OVA to the first season. In fact, they hadn't released it for over a year after the first one was released. Instead, they just make a whole new series.

I know that the major ones this season though are Tokyo Ghoul vA to help relieve the ****tease of the first season, and I believe Durarara x2 will be very popular among the diehard fanbase that exists for that unique series. Kuroko no Basket 3 will also be popular because of the quality of the first two seasons. Of course, Jojo's Bizarre Adventure sequel will arrive to alleviate the urges of the fans of it. The series itself is really good, so sequels to pretty defining anime is welcome. Oh, and IDOLM@STER. Will we get more Nico Nico Nii? Who knows.

Other than that, everything else is pretty ordinary. Dog Days wasn't particularly good but is getting a sequel. Some fans will rejoice. Ansatsu Kyou*****u has an interesting premise, but will probably end up the same as other generic high school murderfests like Another and Danganronpa.

I'm fairly worried for Absolute Duo. It's really setting itself up to be completely embraced by ecchi and not actually having anything worth watching about it. Personally, there are only a few anime that actually feel like anime while still having ecchi in them, with one off the top of my head being Gantz. The Action, Harem, Romance, Comedy, Ecchi combination will always result in something incredibly ordinary or something that is really quite awful if the ecchi gets out of hand. I think Cross Ange is a very good example of this.

But yeah, other than that, there's nothing really else I particularly care about. A lot of generic mecha anime, generic fantasy harems, generic historical harem actions and generic slice of life action whatever the **** I said about Absolute Duo ecchi harems.

I'm getting the feeling that harems are becoming a thing.

Onto movies. Nothing too much, but the Psycho Pass movie will definitely be the big thing this movie season. ~~Akane Tsunemori~~ Psycho Pass has a very big following, so fans will rejoice and get hard ons for the new movie. I guess I might watch the Arpeggio of Blue Steel movie, but the only issue is that I don't really watch any anime movies.

OVA wise, quite a lot actually. Samurai Bride OVA is pretty much obligatory. I mean, Queens Blade has like, fifty OVAs of pure TITS and Senran Kagura is probably closely trailing behind. Samurai Bride definitely needs to make sure that they don't fall behind these completely worthless ecchi focused anime that are a ****ing bore to watch.

Date A Live OVA. Date A Live itself is really bizarre in terms of where it sits in the anime community. The experienced fans that don't solely watch mainstream stuff know that it's really ordinary. The newcomers that think Attack On Titan is the best anime that they've ever seen because it's the only one they've seen but they still think it's the best of them all probably will never hear of Date A Live. But it seems that those that do somehow find out about it like to parade around the fact that they've watched something other than Attack on Titan so clearly they have a wide sample space of anime and they're experienced. Of course, since they've only seen two anime, they say that Date A Live is good, but only because they have no clue and they say that because like I've redundantly said about four times, they want to act as if they have knowledge and taste. Date A Live fanbase folks.

Hoozuki no Reitetsu is awesome. Glad it's getting an OVA. It's OP, Jigoku All-Stars, is quite possibly the most catchiest and funnest OPs in anime. I have it somewhere in my iTunes library.

Also, Chaika. Chaika is one that really appeals to those ***** dakimakura humping guys that have a particular attachment to an anime character, i.e all of us ****ing filthy slobs. Chaika herself has a really ugly design that is likable because of how unique it is. It's a bit like a pug, really. Probably because eyebrows. It isn't particularly ecchi if I remember, it's just Chaika's peculiar design that gets her attention. I guess it's.

Shirobako was a really cutesy slice of life type anime from this season. OVA is cool I guess. Pretty standard for anime of its sort. For those interested, it's an anime about the anime industry itself. It's along the lines of Bakuman I'd say. Also, watch Bakuman.

And that's your 2015 Winter Season. Lovely.
