Season Greeting, Everyone. I hope many of you are doing well in school or work as you enjoy winter vacation and all. It’s almost time to say goodbye to 2014 as the New Year approaches.
Anyways, there will be new Fairy Tail 2 themes beginning Jan 10, 2015 on Episode 40 or 215 – Ophiuchus, the Snake Charmer. The 4th Opening will be [“BREAK OUT” by V6] and the 4th Ending will be [“Don’t let me down” by Mariya Nishiuchi]. The OP4 Single has yet to be determined while the ED4 single will be released on Jan 28, 2015. This was recently announced on the anime’s official website, so yeah.

V6 did Inuyasha, so this will be their 2nd anime. Mariya Nishiuchi is a fashion model/actress, so this will be her first anime.

With some release news done; let’s move on, shall we? As you all may know, winter has arrived; so it`s that time again to announce some new anime to watch for Winter 2015. I’ll be watching 8 series for Winter 2015. It’s fairly less anime to watch for winter than previous few season as it seems like lackluster winter anime season, even though there will carryovers as well. Anyways, let’s continue onward.
The first anime I’ll be watching for Winter 2015 is Aldnoah.Zero 2 a.k.a Aldnoah.Zero Season 2, it’ll begin airing on Jan 10, 2015 on Tokyo MX/BS11 at 12:00 AM JST. It`s produced and animated by A-1 Pictures. It’s a 2nd season of Aldnoah.Zero. Do I need to say more? unless you haven’t watched the first season. The 2nd opening theme will be [“&Z” by SawanoHiroyuki[nZk]:mizuki] and the 3rd ending theme will be [“GENESIS” by Eir Aoi]. The OP2 Single will be released on Feb 4, 2015 while the ED2 Single will be released on Feb 18, 2015.

Eir Aoi’s official site is http://www.aoieir.com/
The anime’s official site is http://www.aldnoahzero.com/
SawanoHiroyuki[nZk]:mizuki returns to do the opening theme of the 2nd season since they did the ending theme of the first season. You should be familiar with Eir Aoi’s music at this point.
The second anime I’ll be watching is Ansatsu Kyoushitsu a.k.a Assassination Classroom, it’ll begin airing on Jan 9, 2015 on Fuji TV at 1:20 AM JST. It`s produced and animated by Lerche. The series is adapted from the manga. The premise sound like it could be fun and after watching the OVA, it definitely has that fun vibe to it; at least it’ll be entertainingly fun to watch even though the plot sounds kind of stupid in way. The opening theme will be [“Seishun Satsubatsuron” (青春サツバツ論; Youth Savage Theory) by 3-nen E-Gumi Utatan] and the ending theme will be [“Hello, shooting-star” by moumoon]. The OP single will be released in Feb 18, 2015 while the ED single will be released on Feb 25, 2015.
moumoon<’s official site is http://www.moumoon.com/
The anime’s official site is http://www.ansatsu-anime.com/main.php
3-nen E-Gumi Utatan is simply Class 3-E Song Representatives from the anime. moumoon did Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal, Viper’s Creed, TO and One Piece: Episode of Merry – Mou Hitori no Nakama no Monogatari, so this will be their 5 anime.
The third anime I’ll be watching is Death Parade, it’ll begin airing on Jan 9, 2014 on Nippon TV at 1:58 AM JST. It`s produced and animated by Madhouse. The series expands on the “Death Billiards” 2013 animated short, which was pretty interesting and dark in a psychological way after watching it, and may be an episodic anime. It’ll still be a good watch, nonetheless. The opening theme will be [“Flyers” by BRADIO] and the ending theme will be [“Last Theater” by NoisyCell] The OP single will be released on Feb 25, 2015 while the ED single has yet to be determined.
BRADIO’s official blog is http://bradio-web.com/
NoisyCell’s official site is http://www.noisycell.com/home/
The anime’s official site is http://www.deathparade.jp/
Seems like this is BRADIO’s first anime. NoisyCell did Barakamon, so this will be their 2nd anime.
The fourth anime I’ll be watching is Durarara!!x2 Shou, it’ll begin airing on Jan 10, 2015 on Tokyo MX / BS11 at 11:30 PM JST. It`s produced and animated by Shuka instead of Brain’s Base. It’s a 2nd season of Durarara!, but being split into 3 cours. Do I need to say more? unless you haven’t watched the first season. The opening theme will be [“HEADHUNT” by OKAMOTO’S] and the ending theme will be [“NEVER SAY NEVER” by THREE LIGHTS DOWN KINGS]. The OP single will be released in Feb 4, 2015 while the ED single will be released on Feb 11, 2015.

THREE LIGHTS DOWN KINGS’s official site is http://www.3ldk.jp/

You may be familiar with OKAMOTO’S’s music since they did Naruto. This is most likely THREE LIGHTS DOWN KINGS’s first anime.
The fifth anime I’ll be watching is Junketsu no Maria; a.k.a Maria the Virgin Witch, it’ll begin airing on Jan 11, 2015 on Tokyo MX at 10:30 PM JST. It`s produced and animated by Production I.G. The series is adapted from the manga. Although the premise seems weird and all, I heard the manga is decent with very low fanservice. I might as well try these kind of anime, as it’s bound to happen eventually, as long its enjoyable and all. The opening theme will be [“Philosophy of Dear World” by ZAQ] and the ending theme will be [“ailes” by TRUE]. The OP single will be released on Jan 21, 2015 while the ED single will be released on Feb 11, 2015.
ZAQ’s official site is http://zaqzaqzaq.jp/

You may be familair with ZAQ’s music since they did quite a few anime (too many to list). TRUE’s 2nd anine and single since they’re debut single for Buddy Conplex.
The sixth anime I’ll be watching is Rolling☆Girls, it’ll begin airing on Jan 10, 2015 on MBS at 1:58 AM JST. It’s an original anime, which is being produced by Wit Studio, that brought us the awesomeness of Shingeki no Kyojin (Attack on Titan). The premise seems interesting, but the PVs piqued my interest enough to make me watch it. It could be fun to watch, so who knows. The opening theme will be [“Tsuki no Bakugekiki” (月の爆撃機; Lunar Bomber) by The Rolling Girls] and the ending theme has yet to be determined. The OP single will be released on Jan 21, 2015 while the ED single has yet to be determined.

The Rolling Girls is pretty much the main cast performing the theme song.
The seventh anime I’ll be watching is Soukyuu no Fafner: Dead Aggressor – Exodus, it’ll begin airing on Jan 8, 2015 on MBS at 2:19 AM JST. It`s produced and animated by Xebec. It’s a 2nd season of Soukyuu no Fafner: Dead Aggressor. Do I need to say more? unless you haven’t watch the first season.

amazarashi’s official site is http://www.amazarashi.com/top//
The anime’s official site is http://www.marv.jp/special/tokyoghoul/
The newly formed österreich is a solo project by Kunimitsu Takahashi, the former guitarist of “the cabs.” The cabs broke up in February 2013 before going on a planned record release tour. Takahashi briefly disappeared before the band split, and later blamed the break up on his own “laziness” and mental difficulties at the time. This will be his first anime and single. Amazarashi is a mysterious band led by singer Hiromu Akita in Aomori Prefecture. The members have not officially been seen by the public and they perform behind a screen during their concerts. This will be their first anime and debut single.
Whew, that took a quite a while for me to type them out as it’s pretty much it for winter anime I’ll be watching for the most part.
That is all for now. Have a nice day/night and stay warm/cool, wherever you’re reading from.
Happy Holidays! Enjoy it while you can.
