To those of you who are disappointed/unhappy/disgusted with the current season’s offerings: do not despair! The Fall 2011 season is just around the corner and it’s sure to bring something to satisfy everyone’s tastes (…hopefully). Although we’re scarcely into the third week of the Summer season your fellow fans have already begun compiling a list of what we can expect next season.
http://i711.photobucket.com/albums/ww120/Srosalena/neregatecom-Fall-2011-Anime-v4.jpg
As usual the chart is filled with super tiny print so I’ve taken the liberty of making a list that is much easier to peruse. Everything is color-coded (OVAs/ONAs/OADs, television series, and movies) so please keep that in mind. Also, I have included any teasers/trailer/PVs that have been released for each show within spoiler tags. In due course these tags will be filled with brief synopses.
This list will be continuously updated as more titles are unveiled and more information is released.
Note: If you know of a title that has been officially announced and is scheduled to air this fall that is not on this list please send me (Ceres) a PM message with the information and a link to your source so that it may be added.

Seeing Yukiteru's miserable state, Deus gives him a new ability. His diary now spells out events that will happen in the near future, updated daily, for the next 90 days. This gift inadvertently forces Yukiteru to participate in a game where the winner — the last one alive — will become Deus' successor.
