Spring 2008 anime

[The previous post was an April fools joke! :)]

(originally posted here yesterday)

As I am lazy to list everything and the fact that complete information can be found online, I'm going to just list what I am going to watch. This post wont appear on the anime blog and it's japanese counterpart, though the links for those listed below can be found there. The finalized version would appear on the earlier mentioned blogs and my friendster profiles

Not likely to watch:
  • Allison & Lilia (it's war themed)
  • Macross Frontier (the characters looked ugly and uses too much use of gundams)
  • xxxHOLiC Kei (not my type)
  • To LOVE-Ru [pronounced as "trouble"] (too much fanservice, as displayed in all of it's trailers)
  • kure-nai (storyline don't seem interesting, character design not good)
  • The Tower of Druaga ~the Aegis of URUK~ (medieval themed)
  • Itazura na Kiss (don't know much about it, website don't seem appealing)
  • Blassreiter (zombies=horror/scarry genre, not my kind)
  • Zettai Karen Children (somewhat like a kiddy show, the visual quality somewhat reminds me of those from 10-20 years ago)
  • Neo Angelique Abyss (reason is the same as "Macross Frontier" and "Tower of Druaga" above, without the gundams)
  • SOUL EATER (reminds me of "Shaman King" and "Naruto". Not that they are bad, but compared to what I may/will be watching, I should skip this.)
  • Monochrome Factor (boring)
  • Kaiba (I give the character design a WTF rating)
  • Junjou Romantica (Yaoi and humor)
  • Golgo 13 (50 episodes long that is based on a manga that started in 1968 with volume 148 out this month. It's too long. "Hayate no gotoku" was 52 episodes long too, but somewhat lost steam by episode 10)
  • Nijuu Mensou no Musume (the character designs made all the women look like men in female clothing. The way the trailer is made is similar to "Crystal Blade" below; full of static images and text)
Some chance of watching:
  • Amatsuki (interesting storyline and good character design)
  • Kanokon (somewhat smillar to "To LOVE-Ru" above but not as extreme)
  • Da Capo II Second Season (the storyline of the 1st season was a letdown, despite everything else being nice)




Will surely watch anime and anime carried over:
  • Persona -trinity soul- (24 episode Winter/January 2008 anime)
  • CODE GEASS Hangyaku no Lelouch R2 (Liked the previous season, which ended as a cliffhanger. Somewhat as popular as "The Depression/Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya")
  • Special A (the setting somewhat reminds me of "Ouran Host Club")






  • Vampire Knight (A show that is based on a shoujo manga that is actually interesting to watch, not like "Kyoushirou to Towa no Sora" aired in Winter 2007 and "Itazura na Kiss" listed above)

Alternate Dimention (Part 27)

Image
Kotomi dragged me to an empty computer room, locked up all the doors, and closed the curtains. She also turned on the lights, air-conditioning, and one of the computers. What was the point of closing the windows and switching on the lights? Something seems suspicious... Kotomi: "A classmate of mine has fallen ill recently, but the problem is that she the main actress of an act my class has done. I know it's strange for me to ask you for this, but only you can fill in her spot in such short notice. Saeko is now in my classroom trying to rehearse, and to give them the impression that you, Mamiko, have actually practised." I was going to ask why I was playing a female role, but I just remembered that I am now a girl myself now. Me: "But you know I'm bad with memorising lines, let alone on such short notice. How do you expect me to pull this one off?" Kotomi suddenly plugged a wire on me through the bottom of my skirt with the other end already plugged...

Review of Autumn 2008 anime

Image
(sorry, Winter 2009 is not yet ready) The Autumn 2008 anime season has ended with the Winter 2009 around the corner. Some are 22-26 series that would continue into the Winter 2009 season (hence, fewer new anime) but I would still count them as Autumn 2008. In no particular order, I would group these anime according to my likeness. (OVAs and live versions are not counted) Didn't watch at all or dropped at the first few episodes: Penguin Musume Heart 2nd Club : It's a second season of something I didn't watch. Battle Spirit & Mach Girl : Just looking at the pictures alone tells me not to watch Bonen no Xamdou & Hakushaku to Yousei: Doesn't seem to be my type to watch. Noramimi 2nd season: Looks like a kid's show and I never watched the first season. Rosario and Vampire Capu2: Had dropped in season 1 as there is no real storyline and the colours used were awful. It had a colourful opening though. Casshern Sins: remake of a 1970s anime. Good storyline, but ...

New Autumn 2008 Anime / Review of Summer & Spring Anime

Image
(for your info, I did post something yesterday and mentioned that I am having a massive re-sorting the photos at Facebook . On top of that, I am also cleaning up my room and in the middle of vectoring .) For a list of the names of the Autumn anime and links to their official website (excluding OVAs), you can refer to here for the English names, or here for the original Japanese names. Some of the anime that are due next year (2009) on top of the Autumn 2008 ones can be found in the "アニメ新番組" or "New Anime" section. There are no anime carried over from the previous seasons for Autumn 2008, but there are returning anime like "Rosario and Vampire", "Clannad" "ef - a tale of ----." "Nodame Cantabile", "Shougo Chara!" "Jigoku Shoujo", "Vampire Knight", "Mobile Suit Gundam 00" and "Junjo Romantica". Compared to the earlier Summer 2008 or Spring 2008 ones, there are a lot of inter...
