Fall, 2014

So I decided to take a look at what's upcoming in the fall season.

Terra Formars: killer cockroaches from outer space! Right.

Grisaia no Kajitsu: Our Hero is the sole male student at a cloister. Uh-huh.

Inou-Battle wa Nichijou-kei no Naka de: five members of the high school literature club have gained super powers -- only they don't have anyone to fight. Might be fun but probably really stupid.

Ore, Twintail ni Narimasu: Girls with twintails turn out to be key to the fate of the world. What, no glasses girls?

And a whole lot of other stuff that's even worse. I didn't see a single series which looked even moderately interesting.

The only thing of interest is a 3-ep Strike Witches OVA which fits into the continuity between the end of the second series and the movie. The first of the three episodes comes out in September and the others aren't even listed.

I tell you, it's gonna be bleak.

UPDATE: I don't even see anything that looks like it could be worth plundering for the top rotation. Sheesh.

UPDATE: Actually, the Mouretsu Pirates movie hits BD in November, so there's that to look forward to.

1 How much you're going to bet that come Autum you'll hold your nose and fast-forward through Chaika and UBW, gathering at least 50 screencaps between the two?

2 There's a Ghibli TV series.  And...  A new Tenchi Muyo?  Apparently not (yet another) reboot, but a sequel of some sort.

Pete, neither of those look promising. The only thing from Type Moon I've ever used was Carnival Phantasm, which was a spoof.

In the regular serieses, too much blood and too much angst. Pictures of girls crying or looking scared don't work for me for the top rotation. I mostly want them looking happy (though angry can be OK, too).

4 Prism Illya, both seasons, might render a few useful pictures.  Though it's actually more of a comedy + fight scenes series.  Though I'm not sure how many are going to pop up.
Dog Days is next year, so at least, eventually, there'll be something good.
Have I mentioned Yozakura Quartet for top-rotation fodder? Ryo-Timo's style has a lot of fun with the animation.  Though what you'd want for anims might be the back-ground action, which wouldn't work so well.
