Yeah I saw it too. Since I've already watched the first two seasons I'll probably watch this one too. But I was a bit bored with the second season, just like A Certain Magical Index II.

You to huh? It would have been alright if it didn't keep straying into romantic comedy territory all the time. There wasn't enough stabbiness or pyrotechnics for my liking.
As for Index, well, you can only watch Touma running around and punching people in the face for so long before it starts to get old.

If Season 3 follows the light novels, then it's going to constantly be fighting/romantic-comedy themes. I personally enjoy series like that, as animes which are just fighting/horror/whatever-else etc. can get pretty boring quickly. But that's just my opinion.

It depends how you slice it though. I dont mind romcom on its own, but when your going to hybridize romcom with something else you really need to balance the two elements properly, or people will get bored waiting for the other element.

Meh, been too lazy to keep up with this forum. Quit RS, bored, no anime to watch besides current season ones. All I end up doing in trolling Forum Games on the CR forums.
Anyways, Steins;Gate is probably my favorite of this season. I'm enjoying AnoHana but not on the level of Steins;Gate. The same goes for Denpa Onna. [C] is great too, but I honestly have no thoughts on the show itself.
Looking at the Summer chart, everything looks pretty lame so far. Nothing that really catches my eyes, but on the other hand, Fall seems to have interesting animes so far.

My favorites are Steins;Gate, Tiger & Bunny and AnoHana.
Deadman Wonderland has some great visuals, but I'm glad it's only 12 episodes because the story is quite stupid.
As for next season, I don't know much about them but I currently have 5 on my plan to watch list. Looking forward to Natsume's Book of Friends season 3 and Baka to Test season 2.
I'm quite happy atm because I won a 50-page Death Note and a 200-page Fairy Tail setting in today's auction.
A setting (or settei) is a set of drawings of all the characters and the backgrounds which is made before making an anime so that the animators get an idea of the setting of the story and how they should draw the characters.

Just watched the latest episode of naruto and I must say GOD DAM IT SAKURA, I can understand you not being able to kill sasuke in light of your feelings for him, but you should've known that when he moved behind you he was going to try to assassinate you. And also, you don't pause 2 centimeters from the guy's spine just because you can't bring yourself to kill him, you jump back right when you decide "Oh, I don't have the balls to kill this guy because I love him so much." I don't have anything against you Sakura, you're my favorite female character, but COME ON!
Also, just watched the latest episode of bleach and I must say it was just as I predicted it would be, Kenpachi v. Kenpachi in a epic battle to the death! Captains Ukitake and Kyoraku make an amazing team and their battle against head captain Yamamoto is truely epic. I'm still very much enjoying this filler arc. Oh, and one last thing: I <3 Yachiru, she's just so freaking cute!

Sakura's my favorite character. She needs more epic fight time. Kishimoto needs to resaerch heroines so he can quite making her a bit..not...standing around...you know, contribut to the action, plot, and story more than just standing there watching in horror as the other characters kick ass cause Kishi doesn't know what to make her do.
It upsets me, dangit!
But I haven't gotten to Sakura vs. Sasuke yet! I'm still trying to catch up! On episode 101.

Yeah, unfortunately Sakura isn't going to be getting in any epic fights for a while. (According to the manga.) Kishi just doesn't know how to develope female characters very well. At the beginning of the shippuden series was really the only time you noticed Sakura at all and then the last time you notice anything about a female in the manga is konohamaru's **** justu.(you know, the one with the shadow clones and what not...gigity gigity.) And sorry if the post above was a spoiler, didn't mean for it to be. And w/ that apology I'd like to say that the below is also a spoiler so SPOILER ALERT:
So, I just read the latest chapter in Bleach, finally Ichigo unlocks his fullbring completely though I have to say Gingo's methods were pretty cruel however they were effective and I look forward to the next chapter.
The latest Naruto chapter was pretty boring, as happens with most flashback chapters, but it was interesting at parts.
