From the pic on the chart, it looks like an anime version of Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends.

That announcement was a mistake. It's not airing till summer.

Quote:
Via ANN
The official Twitter account for the Horizon in the Middle of Nowhere television anime series confirmed on Saturday that the second season will premiere next summer. The announcement was originally made onstage at the all-night marathon screening of the entire first season on Friday.

Gakken's Animedia magazine reported earlier this month that the anime will resume airing next April with the 14th episode. However, the magazine's website then posted an urgent notice, saying that the information was in error.

Kore wa Zombie Desu ka? of the Dead (and OVA), first season was hilarious.
Seitokai Yakuindomo Ova

Checkouts:
Hyou ka
Acchi Kocchi (i like SD...)
Tasogare Otome x Amnesia (well, who wouldnt be drawn in by that picture? )
High Score
A-channel
Holy Knight (given the name, this can only be the stunning sequel to sola...)

Maybe:
Another Prequel episode, if i stick with the show.

It's a masterpiece. Of course it is. I directed, wrote, and stared in this anime so it's immediately an Oscar winner, and worthy of the Palme d'Or.

-----

At a glance, what's of interest:

- F/SN 2

- Gokujyo

- Zetman (hell yeah!)

And I shall, naturally, watch myself act with splendid grandeur in a riveting tale of woe, love, sacrifice, and war. All the conventions of Hollywood with my personal twist of panache, style, and substance. The must-see movie of the year!

Now that I've had some time to go over everything, these are my picks

TV

Top 4
Fate/Zero 2
Hiiro no Kakera (I'm always up for a reverse harem)
Sakamichi no Apollon (was looking forward to this even before we knew who the director was)
Zetman (just looks awesome)

Others
Acchi Kocchi
Eureka Seven Ao
Kimi to Boku. 2
Kuroko no Basket
Ozuma
Phi Brain: Kami no Puzzle 2
Tsuritama (another show revolving around high school boys; this one seems to deal with aliens and fishing)
Uchuu Kyoudai

OVA

The only real title of interest is Gundam Unicorn 5.

Movies

Both Gothicmade and Deva Zan sound interesting. Gothicmade was created by the guy who did Five Star Stories and I really liked what I saw of that. It's too bad the manga never made it over. Deva Zan is a Yoshitaka Amano project (Final Fantasy illustrator and character designer for a number of anime (Angel's Egg, Gatchaman, Vampire Hunter D and so on)). Seems like he's been working on it for a really long time.

Gothicmade via MAL

Quote:
On a tiny colony world named Carmine, young women known as Songstresses inherit the generation memories of those who came before them, using their knowledge to help a populace that suffers under the harsh policies of the ruling interplanetary league.

Newly reborn as a Songstress, 16-year-old Bellin Ajelli sets off a holy pilgrimage across the planet. Rumors of a possible terrorist attack result in Prince Truhallon of the militant Donau Empire being sent in to protect her, but his very presence is the antithesis of everything Bellin stands for. The two are as different as night and day, but they're stuck together until they reach the capital.
Deva Zan via ANN

Quote:
Story is set after the Jinshō (Buddhist divine generals) were defeated by darkness and became lost in time. After the world descended into chaos, Zan, a samurai with no memories, discovers his calling and assembles fellow soldiers who can cross through time and space. Together, they take on the legions of darkness.

No Code Geass Gaiden or KHR Generation X, that sucks, hoping they would come out in spring, likely to come out in fall.

Only one which stood out to me was Ozuma. There's a few others I might give a look-see, but given I haven't watched anime in literally months, who knows.

Nazo no Kanojo X
Quote:
Was originally a one-shot in Afternoon in 2004 before it became a series in 2006. One day, a strange transfer student appears before Tsubaki. Urabe Mikoto is an antisocial girl, whose hobby is just sleeping during class-breaks. One day, Tsubaki goes to wake her up and accidentally tastes her drool... And gets hooked on that! After that, he starts going out with her and gets to know her better. Her second hobby, as it turns out, is carrying around scissors in her panties and cutting paper into flowers...
ummmm.....errrrr....

Sakamichi no Apollon, Tasogare Otome x Amnesia, Uchuu Kyoudai and Medaka Box (finally an Anime!) are the ones I will watch for sure along with Gokujyo.

I will probably give Shinning Hearts, Queen's Blade: Rebellion, and Saki 2 a go as well.

Sakamichi no Apollon is the one that I have the biggest hopes for considering it's pedigree. Shinichirō Watanabe and Yoko Kanno to working together again in a series has been long awaited and I'm a big fan of the subject that it will focus on (Jazz).

Fate/Zero S2, Ozuma & Zetman will be my must sees.

Well also Gundam Unicorn Part 5 but the worldwide Blu-ray won't be released until June.
