Hey dudes and dudettes! Time for the summer round of Ryu's Roulette and I gotta say folks this selection of Summer specials is leaving me a bit chilly! I've got no straight up recommendations for this season so I'll give ya my two cents (based on absolutely nothing):

Could be interesting!

Kamisama dolls

No.6

Blade

Appleseed XIII

I'd be cautious!

Kami-sama no Memo chou

Sacred Seven

Blood -C

Most likely to be a trainwreck

GAINAX

Written by the author of GOSICK

Ikoku Meiro Croisee

JAPAAAAAAN

Manyu Hikenchou

(actually p much everything else that has children with thyroid problems in the charts)

If you know about the ending and you are Woody Allen, you probably will like this

Usagi Drop



Movies

SENGOKU BASARA

BONES - although I have my doubts about the FMA movie, I mean what are they gonna animate?

Edit: I was gonna make some stupid comment about Tailenders still not being subbed but apparently it is! Time for some kickin' rad roller skatin' t-rex action!

Anyway I don't really mind if there isn't all that much to watch next season cause T&B's gonna be 24(?) episodes, Gintama's gonna go for a while, (as well as having massive backlog) and I'm sure I'm forgetting a few that will go longer than 10-13 episodes but there's things to be done!

Also, this is why I'm harping on about Usagi Drop:

Spoiler:

See, there's a time skip in the manga and we get caught up in teenager BS before this happens:

Daikichi asking Rin to marry him.

"Yes. I want to have a child. Daikichi's."
"Because, if I do, I'll make sure it'll be happy."
"Just like I was."

Yes, she actually said that last line.

I am actually mad irl

Well, from my point of view, next season looks absolutely FAIL.

Usually there is at least one series that looks interesting from the preview, but not this time...

Full Metal Alchemist Milos no Sei Naru Hoshi is about the only thing I am truly looking forward to.
