Well it appears that the list for the Summer Season is out. This season seems to be composed of some sequels and the rest being new series from manga’s or light novels. It seems that I’ll be watching a lot of shows but out of the many shows I’m watching I’ll blog between 5-7 shows from the Summer Season. I will mention a few anime that are carrying on from the Spring Season, Ao no Exorcist, Beelzebub, Hana Saku Iroha, Hyouge Mono, Gintama’, Gyakkyou Burai Kaiji: Hakairoku Hen, Nichijou, Pretty Rhythm Aurora Dream, Sket Dance, Steins;Gate, Tiger and Bunny and Toriko. Anyway if you want to get the entire Spring listing please go to MOON PHASE alternatively if you want the specific airtimes check out synobi’s calendar (though be warned its in japanese), finally if you want to know who is fansubbing which anime go to Fansub Wiki’s Page. I will now tell you a few of the anime’s on the Spring Season I will omit the kids shows but they’ll be in the table I just won’t give any information besides that, I will also mention the long running shows that have been airing for a while minus One Piece.
Quick side note: In japan the time is given in 24-hour, relative time format which technically means the times are extended to show which day they primarily belong too. So for example, Thursday morning at 2:00am would become Wednesday 26:00 to show that the episode aired late Wednesday night. Before I forget I’m from the United Kingdom so I write the date differently from Americans and Japanese i.e. date, month, year 02/01/2011.
