10 anime we are looking forward to in 2014

2014 is here and the new year is bringing in some great new anime that fans are surely looking forward to.

With a whole lot of great titles announced for this year, we take our picks and choose ten of them. Keep in mind that we’re not psychics — the list only comprises anime that have been announced to be airing in Japan this year. There’s bound to be plenty more great stuff for 2014 to be announced later in the year.

This list simply serves as an early reference as to what anime fans can look forward to in 2014.

Here are our picks:

Nisekoi

Based on the popular high school romantic comedy by Naoshi Komi and serialized in Weekly Shounen Jump!, this upcoming Winter 2014 anime is scheduled to premiere on January 11, 2014 in Japan.

The series follows Raku Ichijou, a boy born into a Yakuza family who made a promise with a girl in his childhood that one day, they would meet again in the future. Raku keeps a locket while the girl keeps a key so that in the future, they would know one another.

However, that girl turns out to be one of three possible girls who all have keys; Kirasaki Chitoge, daughter of a rival gang, Onodera Kosaki, his long-time crush and Tachibana Marika, the daughter of the chief of police!

G no Rekongista

Legendary Mobile Suit Gundam creator Yoshiyuki Tomino makes his much awaited return this year with G no Rekongista. While no further information has been revealed so far, this new anime will surely provide plenty of action as well as the great CG Sunrise is known for.

The anime was announced last July as part of Mobile Suit Gundam’s 35th anniversary. Since this is a Tomino-directed anime however, expect a lot of deaths. He ain’t known as “Kill’em all Tomino” for nothing.

Fairy Tail

When Fairy Tail ended last year, people were left hanging at the edge of their seats wondering what will happen next. Fans were left so disappointed by the series’ abrupt end that when the restart of the anime series was announced, there was much celebration.

The new series will continue where the previous one left off which is during the Grand Magic Games arc where Natsu has just defeated Sabertooth’s two dragon slayers.

Sailor Moon

Fans have been waiting for this anime for quite some time now. It was supposed to air during the Summer anime season last year but was unfortunately delayed.

The new anime has been highly anticipated by many fans who grew up watching the classic magical girl series during the 1990′s. The new anime will be streamed worldwide via Niconico.

Sword Art Online 2

Sword Art Online makes its much anticipated return later this year and fans have been rejoicing since its announcement. What more can we say, Everybody’s excited about SAO 2 and with the introduction of the new character Shion, fans have become even more giddy.

Fate/ Stay Night

With the success of Fate/Zero, UFOTable is trying their hand at the original series based on Type Moon’s classic visual novel. Not much is known about UFOTable’s new anime since the new series may either be a remake of the 2006 anime or will be based on the Heaven’s Feel route which focuses on Sakura Matoi or something new entirely. However, that does not stop fans of the series from being excited… very excited.

Super Sonico the Animation

Yes, people won’t be able to say “Super Sonico is not an anime character” anymore because Nitroplus’s beloved mascot character is finally having her own anime.

The new anime will be airing later this month in Japan and has made many fans extremely excited. Expect lots of great anime music, good animation and plenty of fan service with this one.

Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai! season 2

That lovable bunch of weirdos suffering from 8th Grader’s syndrome (or chuunibyou) are finally back and fans are expecting plenty of laughs and good animation as expected of a series from Kyoto Animation. Banishment this worldo!

Silver Spoon season 2

Yugo Hachiken is back along with the hard-working students of Oezo Agricultural High School. The second season is surely to introduce some new characters as well as give the audience a lot of laughs along with one great story.

Kantai Collection

Kadokawa’s hit online game Kantai Collection has dominated 2013 as seen in the various cosplays, doujinshis and figures inspired by the game. KanColle is so popular that Cospa’s Shimakaze costume becomes the costume manufacturer’s 10th best selling costume in just a month of sales.

With the new anime scheduled later in 2014, fans are already jumping up and down in anticipation. The anime will be about the day-to-day lives and battles of moe anthropomorphic battleship girls who have been very much loved in Japan. Fans are really looking forward to the anime which will feature Shimakaze, Kongou, Akagi, Haruna and many more.
