Welcome to METANORN’s Summer Anime Catalogue of 2013!
Oh summer, why are you back?! Didn’t I tell you to buzz off last year? But oh well, I have to live with you anyway. So, I’m most excited about a show that is actually a rebroadcast, which I’ve seen so many times that I’ve lost count but what the hell, it’s going to be a blast with anything Type-Moon, even if it’s a weird Illya spinoff. I have some good expectations from Blood Lad (Brains Base, don’t fail me!), along with Monogatari, Gin no Saji, KamiNomi, Free! (obviously!) and Inu to Hasami. From the point of being all meh, I’m at least looking forward to the mixed-bag that summer season has to offer.
Summer’s here, so we say goodbye to goodies like Gargantia, Chihaya & Maou-sama, bring along other goodies like Titan and Railgun S and restock on more “Currently Watching” shows for our lists. We have another season in which a -monogatari series and High School DxD air together… that might be a hotness overload. I’m really glad to see The World God Only Knows get that 3rd season and bring back one of anime’s best characters, Keima Katsuragi. I’m also curious about both of A-1 Pictures’ shows this season, Servant x Service and Silver Spoon, which seem to have potential in their own ways. Have a Summah!
I have no patience, just bring me the new shows already! Speculating about upcoming shows is always exciting, kind of like low-risk gambling. In the end, I just want to actually see what’s coming and start pruning my watching list as the great shows separated themselves from the “Oh God, I can’t watch this past episode one” shows. There are a lot of promising sequels and spin-offs (Tamayura, Bakemonogatari, and that one show where Illya is suddenly a magical girl) that should be definite hits, along with some new shows I’ll be testing the waters of. I spy a Kenji Nakamura anime there and that makes me happy~
Wooooooo! Time for summer which means swimsuits, hot weather, cold drinks and lots of thunderstorms for me in Florida but there is nothing wrong with a little rain from time to time. So how about this season? Judging by our list of new anime I can tell this season is going to be a season of magical girls because we have roughly four starting with Fantastia dolls, Senki Zesshou Symphogear G, Gen’ei Kakru Taiyou and Fate/Kaleid liner Prisma IIIya?! So if you are a fan of that genre you might have some fun. However, I think just about everyone and their brother or sister has their eyes set on FREE! because KyoAni is doing something different instead of the usual formula of cute girls doing cute things, which I will admit has me a bit curious…
I’m not the best aniblogger out there in this world. I literally disappeared for one season,ditching the precious 2D anime life for my 3D real life. I am a shame to all anime lovers out there for prioritizing real life over anime. But hey, it’s holiday now so I can watch anime all day long! I’ll be sticking around more too, that I can promise that. I mean, just look at the yaoi-dripping anime that’s going to be shown in summer. A swimming club with a bunch of underage pretty boys? A dozen male siblings “fighting” for their imouto? And what is that other show about magic and pretty boys? With all these treats and the release of Leijiverse remakes, I am sure as hell I’ll be sticking around this summer 
I… I can’t believe that this is the third year that I’m with Metanorn for the summer season. Time really flies. Anyways, last summer season wasn’t exactly all I thought it would be, but hopefully this year is significantly better. Danganronpa (currently my favourite visual novel) is getting an anime, which is exciting. Also, Rozen Maiden is back and I don’t know how long some of you have been stalking this site, but that’s been a favourite of mine for a while (despite containing nearly nothing of what my interests are now). Actually, this season has a fair few shows that I want to try out, and there are quite a few sequels of shows that were excellent (aka TWOGK and Monogatari s2) before so if the new stuff flops, those should be reliable enough to fall back on to.
Ah, is there any other way to spend another insufferably hot summer than inside my home with a ton of new anime to watch? None, obviously (Okay, maybe some things, but that is definitely number one!). Anyway, this is probably the first time I’ve actually been excited for the summer anime season! With my curiosity about Dangan Ronpa finally being fulfilled, the sure-to-be-amazingly-animated FREE anime finally being released, and a generous amount of anime of different genres for me to try out, I can’t wait to get started watching and blogging them. With that, I’ll leave you with Metanorn’s always amazing summer guide to pick out the anime you’ll be checking out while (hopefully) in a nice, air-conditioned room~
If you’re at all familiar with the posts I’ve done, you can probably guess that the show I’m most looking forward to next season is a certain thing by Shaft, a studio I’ve been a fan of for a very long time now. Though maybe I’m an even longer (though less enthusiastic) fan of Kyoto Animation, which has been making a splash (hurr) with its new swimming anime. I’m hoping this will be more Hyouka than Chu2koi, though I think we’re probably gonna get a sort of K-On. A show I’m quite confident I”ll love, though, is The World God Only Knows, a franchise that’s had two hilarious seasons with fine work by the lovable Hiro Shimono as lead. I’m sure I’ll check out plenty of other shows in that first week and fall in love with some of them – that new anime by the same author of Working!! and the one about girls with airsoft guns look like they could be right up my alley.
Summer is here! This season, we get a wide array of sizzling hot shows ranging from magical girls (4 of them, even) to wet bishies and everything in between. Not to mention, there are a handful of sequels to keep our appetite for more whetted. Gatchaman (though technically not a direct sequel), Genshiken, and Rozen Maiden bring a blast from the past, returning after a whopping 19, 7, and 8 years, respectively! TWGOK jumps ahead to the juicier bits of the story, though whether skipping material is a good idea remains to be seen. And of course, we can never forget about the Monogatari series, which I’m sure you already know is getting a much anticipated “second season”. I guess they only count Nisemonogatari as a side story? Anyway, there’s lots of good material to watch, so sit back and enjoy some anime in the comfortable, air-conditioned confines of your home while temperatures reach unbearable levels outside!
I’m always interested in a new anime season, although it’s always tinged with a little bit of sadness because it means that the old shows that I liked are going away. But enough melancholy! I don’t go in for “this season looks worse / better than the last season” stuff anymore, because there’s always something I like to watch, and that’s what makes life fun. So take a look through all these new shows, and see what you think might tickle *your* fancy! As for me, I’ll probably be trying ALL of it. 
Not so late this time as well or so we’d like to think! Enjoy the hawt graphics and our review overload as per your fancy. As always, we have made the list comprehensive yet compact enough for you to ogle over in one go so be ready to…
