Rewrite of the [Spring 2013] anime
PostPosted: Mon Feb 11, 2013 8:36 pm
OKAY SHAKE IT NOW BABY NOW〜
Much like the threads before it, this is a thread I created for the discussion of new anime that will be airing on TV in Japan in the Spring 2013 season. Anime typically gets released and runs for a number of seasons. The year is divided up into four seasons: January to March is winter, April to June is spring, July to September is summer, and October to December is fall. Each season is approximately 13 weeks.
Here, we can talk about what shows look interesting, what we plan to watch, and generally get giddy and excited for things that we've been anticipating for a while.
