A THREAD FOR TALKING ABOUT CURRENTLY AIRING ANIME

So Spring 2012 is arguably the best season of anime to come around in years.

You have Shinichiro Watanabe and Yoko Kanno getting back together to adapt an award-winning manga about high school students and jazz to the screen. You have the directors of Michiko to Hatchin and Redline making an incredibly stylish take on Lupin the Third. You have Kenji Nakamura directing what looks like his first legitimately great show since Mononoke. You have a long-form drama about brotherly love, astronauts and space. You have the director of the previously mentioned show making a surreal romantic comedy about high schoolers with a studio more known for its pornographic output, and against all odds, it's brilliant. And if all of that isn't enough, you have a sequel to Eureka Seven.

That's not even mentioning continuations of Fate/Zero, Aquarion EVOL and Bodacious Space Pirates. Neither is it mentioning shows like Sankrea, which I don't think are quite good enough to compete with any of the above, but would be pretty decent competitors in any other season. Where did all of this stuff come from? It's like it's falling from the sky!

This must be the umpteenth anime thread on this forum, but since there's so much good stuff coming out right now, I thought it would be worth opening up a venue for discussion. Any thoughts?

Anime is going to shit, I remember the good ol days... The DBZ days...

KAME HAME HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa


But I did hear they made a continuation of captain tsubasa, the best anime ever. Is that current or is it like a few years old? The continuation I mean.

EDIT: this is what I'm talking about

no kaiji season 3?

This alone makes me want to watch Kaiji:



I don't really keep up with anime seasons and just watch whatever interesting stuff I find, myself. Sakamachi no Apollon's going to be pretty rad, though, definitely.

EDIT: Ooh, it's already started airing. Shame I'm already occupied with five different anime/manga. :<
I'm an absolute Gundam fanatic, but the new one doesn't look so great (and 00 left a really bad taste in my mouth). Anyways, Familiar of Zero is getting a new season (final one), but other than that I don't really know of any currently airing shows anymore. I find myself wishing Full Metal Panic would get a new season more than anything, or that Gundam SEED movie we were promised all those years ago.

I think you're talking about Gundam AGE? Supposedly it's the best Gundam has been since Turn A, or at least that's what I've heard from the blogosphere. Gundam Unicorn is supposedly pretty good too, if you like old-school Universal Century stuff.

Also stop giving me reasons to watch Kaiji, everybody! I am too weighted down with stuff as it is. (heard it's pretty awesome though)
Really? Guess I'll have to give AGE a try. I've been keen on seeing Unicorn, but have been waiting til the whole thing is available before I buy a boxset.
