So, firstly, let me start with wishing all of you who read this a happy new year. 2012 is lying ahead of us, full of glitter and promise – just waiting for us to come along and screw things up again ^_^

Of course, I’m trying to get away from all of the screwing up by making plans and setting goals, and hopefully this year, I’ll even meet some of them … but more on that in a later post.

The main reason for this post is to announce that I’ve completed my preview opinion of the series for the Winter 2012 season. I’ve used various sources for the information gathered on my preview page – although primarily I need to give thanks to the producers of two rather excellent charts (I’m including them both in the post below – you can choose which one you like best) – cowboybibimbop and Zana@Neregate. A fair amount of info also came from Moetron.com. More after the break :)

My mission, of course, is more about giving an opinion on the shows coming than the actual information – although I’ve included that as well – and I hope you’ll find it useful. This is also the first time I’ve actually completely finished one of these previews 0.o – even if it is a tad on the late side. Both of the above have already released initial Spring 2012 charts, so I’m going to be getting started with that relatively soon on my side as well.

Having gone through the series approaching, my pick for this season – or at least the shows I’m really keen to watch are the following:

• Amagami SS+
• Another
• Ano Natsu de Matteru
• Black★Rock Shooter
• Papa no Iu Koto wo Kikinasai!
• Zero no Tsukaima F
• Nisemonogatari
• Kill Me Baby!

There are a few other shows which kind of pique my interest, and will probably get a watch down the line, although I’m not driven to see them as soon as I can.
