New season's here, I'll keep it short and simple and link you to this:

http://blog.seiha.org/?p=900

With that said, here's my thoughts on each of these shows. This is going to be lovely.

Spoiler for vertical doom. If there's anything I'm missing, let me know.
Spoiler:

This thread should also be about (Good) animu in general. We should compile a "Must See" list as told by us. Start listing some of your favorite shows!

    No kidding. I've been anxiously waiting for it. This new arc doesn't seem as well executed as the primary ones (I don't even know if this was written by the original author), but it still does the job well. The beginning of episode 15, in particular the part where

    Once I'm done with that, I'm gonna get started on Chiko, which everyone here seems to love. I expect great things.

    Let's see if I link it directly... the eyes are supposed to move. And it works like that... weird.

    The forum software really hates animated avatars IIRC. I dunno if there's a workaround.

    Works for me. :/

    I think the animation is lost in translation if the original avatar is not the forum default 64x64. Try resizing it manually first.

    Dude with the animated avatar --

    There are two options for setting your avatar. Control Panel -> Edit Avatar, and Control Panel -> Edit Profile -> Avatar URL. Unset the first, and set the second to wherever you're hosting it.

    The episode actually airs on June 1st, and we need to wait for fansubs. Keep an eye on THE LIVE-EVIL WEBSITE I TOTALLY DIDN'T LINK ANYTHING REALLY I DIDN'T or Tokyotosho, since Animesuki isn't carrying links to the subs.

    Also, along those lines, I just looked up the cast list. Sonken Chuubou (Hakufu's sister/Sun Quan) is going to be voiced by Horie Yui. <3 <3 <3

    Man, Ikki T brings me nothing but pleasant surprises this weekend.

    The sound of eight hooves reaches his ears, comes from the heavenly light, two wolves howls fills his heart with fear, and he sees two ravens fly. Down from the sky a warlord rides, like fire his one eye glows, and just before the preacher dies he knows his god is false.

    I'm not sure if Vampire Knight gets better after the first volume as I stopped reading, but your description is way fucking off if it follows the manga. It was basically a love triangle at a high school with vampires thrown in and nothing at all like Hellsing.

    Totally. There's obviously something between them but there's nothing they can do about it, unless it's possible to Macronize humans. Assuming Michael's even human. I think he's at least some part Zentraedi. Those ears are weird.

    Actually, I went ahead and set up my template for the Summer preview today. It's basically just a list of links and pictures at the moment, but if you want to know what starts in a month...

    I'll bother to actually format shit for BBCode when I have actual information and have tracked down all the PVs/CMs and whatnot. Don't expect for another 3 weeks or so though.

    No, I get that, but when all other Macross material follows DYRL instead of the TV series and Kawamori himself has said he doesn't really care about continuity, it gets a bit confusing.

    Then Mikhail can't get macloned.

    Because whether it's part of continuity or not, they're specifically playing it as a tragic plot point.

    Is that a studio officially Youtubing the episodes eith subs? I actually find that idea impressive. I don't watch much animes though.

    Hey, more Hidamari Sketch! I loved that show. It was cute and some of the episodes were really creative.
