Time passes quickly doesn’t it? With the passing of winter, some of my faves from last season, like Another and Nisemonogatari have also ended. Anime fans will have lots to look forward this season though, with the return of a certain Type-Moon anime and the sequel to one of my favourite sci-fi mecha anime. Now, its time to check out what my personal anime picks for the Spring…

New Year, new anime season, less HDD space. The winter season has brought not just cool weather, but a slew of new anime series as well. Some of my faves from last season include Fate/Zero and Un-Go. While the current crop of anime will not need to compete with one of Type Moon’s most popular series (the creators, wisely, splitting the series into two seasons), they will still have to go against other series like Last Exile – Fam the Silver Wing, Guilty Crown and Persona 4. So let us check out the series’ which I think will stand out from the pack this season…

If you like suspense and mystery, this upcoming anime series “Another”, premiering January 9, 2012 will definitely be a treat for you! (Yes, Higurashi fans I’m talking about you guys >,<)
“Another” is a novel turned Anime (It’s just the trend lately isn’t it ) by Ayatsuji Yukito. The story follows the protagonist, Koichi Sakakibara as a transfer student to Yomiyama’ North Middle School, who slowly come to understand the “curse” in that particular school is not exactly just a harmless urban legend…

After summer comes the fall, and with it, a new anime season. I am sure many of you have enjoyed the various shows in the summer, like Kami-memo and Usagi Drops among many others.

So let us take a look at my personal favourites for the coming anime season…

While I haven’t been posting much recently for various reasons, one post which I try to make it a point to do is the quarterly anime previews. So let us look ahead at what the anime gods have prepared for us this Summer… Read More →
The live-action movie adaptation of the manga Beck will be screening at Cathay cineplexes come May 19. Trailer and details after the break.
I might have chose Gosick as my pick of last season but I think (and I am sure quite a few will agree with me) that the biggest surprise and sleeper hit for Winter 2011 surely belongs to Puella Magi Madoka Magica. Thus I am hopeful that the coming season will have more pleasant surprises for anime fans to look forward to, even as we remember those who died in the recent quake and tsunami in Japan.

Season’s greeting to all our readers. Once again a new year and a new season of anime is upon us. It is time for us to brainwash you into watching preview some of the upcoming anime which we at Animenauts are looking forward to.

A somewhat “intersting” take on Pokémon. Ash struggles in a world where Pokémon fights have been outlawed. Many Pokémon characters are featured in the trailer, including Misty, Brock, Team Rocket and Mewtwo.

Thoughts: A rather bizarre and humorous interpretation of Pokémon. If this ever translates into a real movie, it’ll likely bomb as per the recent live-action adaptations of Dragonball and King of Fighters. Space Battleship Yamato on the other hand seems destined for box-office greatness…in Japan at least. No release dates have been set for Singapore or any other Asian countries save for Hong Kong (22 March 2010 @ the Hong Kong International Film and Television Market, likely trying to promote or sell it to potential distributors). No release date has been set for the US either, despite its popularity back in the 197os and 80s as Star Blazers. The only other country with a release date according to IMDb is Brazil, with the film set to be released there on the 31st of December, 2010.
