The Spring 2015 Anime Preview Guide

The new Digimon series will likely be a easy hit for various people, especially Digimon fans.

Oh my goodness, SHOW BY ROCK!! is simply epic. It's incredibly cheesy to be sure, but don't count it out; the cheese actually makes it all that much funnier. The massive energy and the surprisingly good animation and the hilarious sendups and parodies of the idol genre all make this a riotously good time. I had a huge grin on my face the entire episode, and laughed plenty.

You seem to be slightly mistaken. I can't speak for dtm but I don't know what is going to happen. I have zero experience with or knowledge of the source for Seraph. What I put in spoiler tags a few posts back was just a conclusion I was able to reach due to that image.

On a side note I wouldn't really call less than a day a long period of time. Literally the first time I checked the page after having seen the first episode I noticed that.

I want to make it clear that I haven't read the manga, no-one has told me what happens, and I haven't read any spoilers anywhere on the internet about the show. I said it was a predictable plot twist only because the basic story itself is so predictable; anyone who has seen enough of these types of shows generally knows what to expect. But I didn't actually know about the plot twist until I saw the ad, where I had my suspicions confirmed.

Arslan felt very bland to me. Nothing about it stood out, probably a result of the original being very popular, definitive, and having been around for a while. Not overly fond of these designs. Arslan's in particular is bleh. Didn't find the animation that great either, especially for an opening episode.

That's pretty odd--if something is based on an incredibly popular and definitive work, then it should really stand out and make an impression, or it will get lost among previous versions of itself. Such a work will inevitably get compared to those previous versions, and it must be able to hold up against those comparisons to succeed.

Yes, but will it even come this season? There's no specific airing date; no confirmed television channel; no released CMs (that I've heard of). I'm pumped for a new Digimon series but it looks like we'll have to wait I'm afraid. Maybe next season?

What the first episode doesn't say is that this is apparently a concept somewhat akin to Horizon in the Middle of Nowhere, where parallel universes are collapsing together, and a battle is being fought to determine which one will survive. Hence Tohru's double is the alternate-universe version of himself.

The tameness of the battles in Arslan is very strange considering the manga had enough violence to fill Berserk and a mortal kombat game. At least they capture the sense of giganticness the fights had in the books. Looking forward to more of this one

Maybe it has been asked already, (if so, I apologize in advance for bringing it up again,) but no news about Kyōkai no Rinne? It already started airing on April 4th.
