Spring 2014 3ET Master List

Yeah, I'm going to lose my mind this season.

After taking too long to write all the reviews for the shows that finished in winter, I only had a one day break before starting on the Spring 2014 shows. But, third episodes are out and the show must go on. Under the cut, I have a list of all of the shows I'm going to watch, in the order I'm going to watch them, and with links of the 3ET as I publish them. The dates are when the third episodes will be available in English, though I can't promise I'll have a 3ET out on those days (seven on the 19th would be a bit much). Either way, I hope this helps people in some fashion.
