[Anime] Winter Season 2014

[Dessa]

Space Dandy is confirmed for January 4th Toonami premier.

Updated the OP with the date.

I'm going in a bit blind on this one. This fall season was the first time I decided to watch some shows weekly, so I just stuck with Kill la Kill, Strike the Blood and Arpeggio of Blue Steel. The descriptions and trailers in the OP are all I've got to go on, but I've drawn up a 'first draft' list shown below. The next step is to find out how many are actually streaming here in the UK (probably less than half of the ones that get to the US), and then find out more info so that I can discard in advance the shows that are just flimsy excuses for fanservice.

Yes List (will probably check out at least one episode, if available)
Hamatora
Mahou Sensou
Nobunaga the Fool
Nobunagun
Sekai Seifuku: Bouryaku no Zvezda
Space Dandy
Z/X IGNITION

Maybe List (might check out but not expecting to follow)
Buddy Complex
Hoozuki no Reitetsu
Noragami
Robot Girls Z
Wizard Barristers: Benmashi Cecil

Oh god…Robot Girls Z Looks like the Gundam Build Fighters/Akibaranger for Go Nagai robot anime…I think I gotta watch this now. :laugh:

 

[Dr Kain]

Robot Girls Z looks like they just wanted a reason to make a fan service show and figured they could make some toy sales off of it.

Yeah that's my worry. I've only seen Shin Mazinger and I'd love to see another Mazinger series. At first I thought it was going to be more of a fighting thing, or at the very least a magical girl warrior show using a lot of Mazinger imagery. But I've noticed it's wikipedia page has labelled it a "slice of life comedy" which...yeah, interest is dropping. I suspect it's just going to be "cute girls do fanservicey things" show. :redface2:

And don't forget that one of their love interests will probably be their cousin or something.
