Fall 2013 Anime Season Preview

Last season I saw a rather depressing number of people saying something along the lines of “I didn’t expect anything from Silver Spoon and was really surprised when it turned out to be excellent”.

Red Data Girl episode 1 – Push him off a cliff again please

That new season is so near and yet so far. I have to sit back and impatiently wait for the first episodes to roll around so I finally have something to write abou-wait, what’s that? A first episode pre-air on Nico with shoddy web-rip quality of an anime that nobody seems to care about? Great!……
