So yeah, reminded that the winter season is soon coming up...
Here is a preview.
(https://forums.fanime.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi232.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fee298%2Fshoegazer_tokyo%2Fwinter-anime.jpg&hash=db135957fa1dccbae6f379b0cbafc22a79cf7a03)
I'm probably going to take a look at the following...
Persona -Trinity Soul-
Rosario+Vampire
Shigofumi
Sayounara Zetsubou Sensei 2
Gunslinger Girl Season 2
Noramimi
Macross Frontier
Aa! Megami-sama OAVs
Minami-ke 2
Mnemosyne
Hmmmm, since a crapload of anime is coming out, I wonder where to start... ???
Me, ZetSen season 2, Macross Frontier, the 3rd season of Ah My Goddess and Minami-Ke Okawari.
That's it.
ARIA The Origination! Huzzah!
Also AMG season 3 should be good. Don't know much about the other stuff.
Technically Winter 2008.
ARIA The ORIGINATION tops my list. I just need to finish up NATURAL. XD;
Aside from that, I'll be giving these series a spin:
-H2O
-Kimi ga Aruji de Shitsuji ga Ore de
-Minami-ke ~Okawari~
-Mnemosyune
-Moegaku
-Ookami to Koushinryou
-PERSONA
-Rosario to Vampire
-Shigofumi
-true tears
-Zoku Zetsen
-Yes! Pretty Cure GO GO! (Assuming I can watch enough to catch up)
Chances are, I won't go more than an episode on, like, half of them. XD;
ANOTHER season of ARIA and PreCure..? D:
I saw H2O and thought, "Hey, that looks VERY familiar... but I don't think I've played it." I look it up again and decided not to put it on the list.
Shigofumi looks pretty interesting. It's airing an anime adaption, and the only thing I see before it is a light novel series. Anyone know much about it?
I'll give a try:
Ayakashi
True Tears
Hatenkou Yuugi
They are my noble masters
Shigofumi
H2O ~footprints in the sand~
Rosario + Vampire
Macross Frontier
Persona -Trinity Soul-
Definites:
Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei Season 2
Miname-ke ~Okawari~
Aria the Origination (assuming I finish up Natural first)
Depending on their descriptions:
Wolf and Spice
Mnemosyne- Mnemosyne no musume tachi
Haruka naru toki no naka 3 -kurenai no tsuki
Maybe the Yotsunoha OVA and Bus Gamer whenever it comes out.
For sure:
Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei Season 2
Miname-ke ~Okawari~
Aria the Origination (thats if I ever finish the catch up from the 1st season)
Though I will probably watch at least one episode of the other to try them out
Out of pure instinct I'll be watching these (and dropping them if need be):
Noramimi
ZetSen S2
Persona Trinity Soul
ARIA the ORIGINATION
Minami-ke ~Okawari~
Hakaba Kitaro
H20
True Tears
Zenryoku Usagi (looks funny - funny like a kid's show. But I could be horribly wrong)
Maybe:
*Shigofumi
*Mnemosyne
Definites:
Minami-Ke ~Okawari~ (Waiting for final episodes to be released despite it being a retelling via different studio)
Sayonara Zetsubo Sensei
Aria (still need to catch up)
Try out:
Wolf and Spice
H20
Rosario + Vampire
Ayakashi
True Tears
Persona
The rest I'll try to get to but that depends if I got that much time.
The only one I'm interested in is HaruToki 3~!
Episode 1's watched so far:
-H2O
-Rosario+Vampire
-Spice and Wolf
-true tears
From this showing, I'm not going to write off anything just yet. Rosario+Vampire is the weakest showing, but I kinda want to like the series. If only cause I get to hear Mizuki Nana and Koyama Kimiko. kkthx
I plan to watch anything that's terribly bad so let me know if you find any of these gems.
I've seeing fewer anime shows lately, but this season might get me back on track.
I plan to see:
Wolf & Spice
Persona Trinity Soul
Seen so far:
H2O
True Tears
Spice and Wolf
Persona
IMO Most Promising: Spice and Wolf.
mmm
spice and wolf.
shakugan no shana II.
minami-ke OKAWARI.
and I'll just loosely follow everything else when I run of stuff to watch while eating. ;D
Checked out so far:
Ayakashi, H2O, Rosario+Vampire, and They are my noble masters.
H2O and Rosario+Vampire look promising. Dunno about the other two yet.
The only things I've leeched from other people are H2O, True Tears, and Wolf & Spice, of which I've only watched Wolf & Spice thusfar. Looks a bit promising; I'd like to watch more.
Other than that, I'm not too interested in this season (getting hype for next season AGHHHH GEASS R2 while finishing up what I need to for the past year FUKO-CHAN T___________T), save for ARIA the Origination (after I finish up Natural and Arietta first), the rest of CLANNAD, and, for kicks, Saa! Iko, Tamagotchi, so I'll be shallow and watch whatever I hear good things about.
Watch H2O. If anything is the most promising, its that one. I've watched two episodes so far and its already on my list.
Spice and Wolf looks pretty promising. If I had to pick only two new shows this season to watch, those would likely be it. (though there are shows not yet subbed that might be good) Of course that excludes the new Minami-ke and Aria. Those were already on my list before the season started. XP
I've watched Persona also. Is it me or does other people also think that Ayakashi and Persona could be practically clones of each other?
Can't wait for someone to sub Shigofumi.
So far, I've watched the first episode of Zetsubou Sensei 2, H2O, Persona, True Tears, Spice and Wolf, and Rosario+Vampire. Here goes me rambling about 'em.
Watching the first episode of Zoku Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei, it basically feels like a "welcome back" or "welcome to season 2"... despite the subs for the last season being very spread out and delayed, it feels as if we've never left! The first episode was pretty much just a recap of some of the introductory episodes of the first series, explaining some of the students' personalities to viewers that aren't familiar with the series, sort of half-built around a new episode about the one "normal" character that's supposedly too normal to have an episode of her own.
H2O... I've seen ads that the game is becoming an anime, all over the place for a few months now, so this series might've been anticipated by a few. Although the premise is interesting, it's somewhat confusing to think about the direction the plot is taking. I've never played the game, but the secondary characters seem pretty annoying/cliche and irrelevent to an otherwise dramatic plot. The only actual thing that actually irritated me about the anime was the dramatic quality change between scenes with movement, and scenes with little movement. I admit, though-- the woman-abuse and main character's lack of vision in the beginning did sorta catch mah attention, at first. :V
As for Persona, I really wanted to casually play the games, but never got around to it... which kinda sucks because the anime series is supposedly the sequel to the 3rd game. The series looks like it could be very entertaining, or... it could easily become slow-paced and boring, but I can't predict much as I don't know the series well. I'm liking the soundtrack, though.
True Tears looks like it's running off a typical seinen romance plot. Though some parts of it may be cute and cozy, the rest is horrendously boring and mediocre. I'm not sure if I slightly like it, or absolutely hate it. I'll judge whether or not to follow it after seeing the 2nd episode, but from what it looks like... I probably won't.
So far, it feels like the most promising new series is Spice and Wolf. There isn't much to say about it other than it feeling "dimensional". The setting and the characters within it seem "whole", and it may prove why the series to be seems entertaining, but for all I know, I'm just jinxing it and the series might suck despite the first episode making it look good. But it probably doesn't matter. I am staying for Horo! (>A<)b
I don't even know how I feel about Rosario+Vampire. I read part of the manga series and enjoyed it, but as for the anime... it has the same lame feeling to it as the anime-adaption of Venus Versus Virus made out to be. The cute plot and characters in manga, just seem cheesy and retarded in the anime series. The quality doesn't do itself justice, either. But who knows, it might get better...? Or maybe I'm just being overly optimistic.
So far, I've seen the new ARIA and Spice & Wolf. I was waiting to see if there was any new Kajiura soundtrack this season, but no dice. That makes two in a row. =(
ARIA is good, the first ep definitely on par with best of the last two seasons. We knew it would be about the same, but the quality is still a pleasant surprise. I was kind of expecting the overall quality to keep dropping slowly season after season. I guess it's still not to late for that to happen. =/
Wolf & Spice... can't hate any series with such a beautiful OP. And, as Lisu points out, it's the Firefox Anime. =P. High hopes there. Still got plenty of other stuff to catch up on, so not sure what other new things I'll give a shot. Probably pick something arbitrarily and watch a couple episodes, see if it hooks me.
Hatenkou Yugi looks promising. Hopefully, they'll explain later how the second guy came into the group... -.-; Otherwise, I like it so far.
Macross Frontier will likely be on my list. I like the main guy. He's a sexy bishi. Most series don't place such a character in the main role. I've always liked the Macross movies. (anyway... the ones that I have seen.) I like that this is a mech series where the guy isn't all emo. ~coughgundamcough~
I've decided to hold off on the Harutoki OVA for now. I haven't seen the series and I normally don't like jumping into the middle of things. X.x;
lol, Hatenkou Yuugi. Those 2 main guys look really gay. And they're trying to make it seem like the whole anime is a comedy when it's giving me Rozen Maiden aura. And then the story is about "See the world". Methinks that anime has an identity crisis. But that's just me. Feel free to disagree and what not, I could care less :P
Gunslinger Girl season 2 makes me want to cry. ;A;

In a good way, or a bad way? I'm hoping it's the former. (It
is Gunslinger Girl, after all.)

I love Gunslinger Girl, but season 2 made me want to cry... in pain. It's terrible-- the animation is different, the atmosphere is less tense and solemn, and it's more focused on moe-kei to please the audience. Not the GSG I knew. Everyone else that I know has seen the first ep had the same reaction. Go check it out if you want, but head my warning. After this, there is no season 2 to me. Just like there's no such thing as a Nodame Cantabille live action series.
~revives~
I'm finally finishing H2O ~footprints in the sand.~
I <3 it.
I'm surprised more people don't rep it. D:
and Persona is almost done.
