Summer 2013 Anime Season Preview

Summer isn’t always the best of seasons – last year it was the worst season – and somehow the Summer 2013 anime season is stacked with a lot of interesting series.  So interesting, that this season could end up as the best of the year.  There are a number of things to get excited about, which include: the return of the noitaminA slot, 9 sequels/continuations, 2 new anime for series whose last anime aired over 6 years ago and a new anime for a series that’s over 4 decades old.

All in all, quite the busy season, with many genres and studios being represented.  The only downside is that Sailor Moon’s reboot won’t be airing this season as it was initially planned.  At this point, we’ll be lucky too see it sometime in 2014.  Nevertheless, there are a lot of nice-looking series to anticipate so let’s not dwell on an absence.

Note: Please vote on the poll on the side for the series you want blogged (episodically) most. Read the rest of this entry »
