Welcome to the Summer 2012 Anime Preview from Anivision. With so many Spring shows coming to an end, we all as anime fans need to refill our palette with new series, seemingly regardless of overall quality. Summer has 26 new shows debuting with lots of plots and backstories and surely (I mean hopefully) plenty of beach episodes. So read on, hope you enjoy our early thoughts and let us know which anime series you are looking forward to the most!

Another thing about this anime is that it might end up making me not want to watch Hagure. Honestly, it is hard for me to get into Fantasy series and having two based on light novels might make me drop Hagure. Plus this just seems like the better series.

JC Staff is making the anime, which means it has a 50/50 shot of being crap. I don’t hate JC Staff, it is just that some of their series just don’t turn out well.

What ends up getting me in the anime is the slow pace of the story. After all, it is just about a girl babby sitting a bunch of mischievous fairies. These kinds of shows never keep my attention for long and even if I somewhat like the first episode, the probability that I will finish the anime is pretty low.
Fun Fact: This is also an anime based on a series of fantasy light novels.

It is being produced by PA Works, which has produced some great anime as of late. Most notably Hanasaku Iroha, which was a fun anime. The trailer really didn’t show off anything, but I get the feeling that if you like Hanasaku then you will like this one as well.
