Yessss, I will be looking forward to
1) Death Note 2) Negima *err* this one is definetly more cutish, however will it take the same plot approach? 3) Kanon (definetly want to see the art for this one) 4) Busou Renkin (Holy crap, this one is animated? Must watch) 5) Ghost-Hunt Most of the movie list are expected and heard of since last season... but definetly some good ones to look forward this time round :) Thanks for the update BigBlah |
The art for Kanon is really good. At least Yuuichi doesn't look like the girls. Lets not forget our little friend Hitman Reborn. That should be interesting.
D.Grayman and Death Note will make up for Naruto and Bleach's crap. |

Either way, I generally don't pay any attention for what a new season brings with it, but there's quite a few here that I'm interested in seeing. Second season of Victorian Romance Emma, naturally. The first season was wonderful, but because it stopped so suddenly (storywise, right after the second volume of the manga), and knowing how the absolutely enchanting manga goes so much further, another season is more than welcome. I'm actually quite interested in Kanon. I never played or read about the story of the original h-game, nor follow any of the other anime adaptions, but it always interested me. Perhaps this will be a good introduction to the title. The Stand Alone Complex movie is a must, a new Giant Robo title sounds promising and a live-action Katsuhiro Otomo film intrigues me to no end. It's high time I watch the Mushi-shi anime anyway. |

......*twitch* Spoiler:
I shouldn't get my hopes up though. Amuse went out of business long ago, if I'm not mistaken, and the art style looks drastically different from what that flash site shown. Still, if they get it right...... |
Kanon is based on a hentai game? I'll pass. I doubt anything based on hentai could actually be good.
GitS:SAC SSS is a must. I'm in love with the SAC series. Chevalier sounds promising. Is this the series with the sexually ambiguous male lead? I'm interested in Death Note - at least up until the part of the manga that bored me. Ayakashi Ayashi - it's by BONES. That's enough reason to check it out. Busou Renkin/Weapon Alchemist - From the creator of Kenshin. Definitely interested. Pumpkin Scissors - ??? It's by Gonzo, I should check it out. CODE GEASS - Lelouch of the Rebellion - CLAMP, Sunrise and Planetes people. Oh, and mecha. It's worth a shot. I like how I still haven't watched anything from the previous two seasons. Well, I started Fate/Stay Night, which is quite good, but I haven't seen anything other than that. |

See: Kanon (the first series), Kimi ga Nozomu Eien, Shingetsutan Tsukihime, Fate/stay night, etc. EDIT: Quote:

What?! Fate/Stay Night was a hentai game?! I just pwnd myself.
Ok... maybe I'll give it a chance. Plz recommend other hentai game based anime? I always used to skip out on them |
The thing is, most h-games turned anime tend to be heavily relationship-centric, with a few exceptions such as Shingetsutan Tsukihime, F/SN and Yami to Boushi to Hon no Tabibito which have more of an action/adventure element.
Kimi ga Nozomu Eien is a good series to start with, if you want to check out this genre. |

For this upcoming season, the only show I may consider watching is Jigoku Shoujo. Actually, that's a lie, I'm just going to shoot myself in the foot and follow it considering I did stick with it to the end of the first season. I'm rather curious as to whether this season's going to be thirteen or twenty-some episodes and how much of it will be filler. I guess a twenty-some episode season two wouldn't really surprise me since I had my surprise already when I heard they were going to make a second season after the first season ended as I couldn't believe ratings were good for such a filler-esque show. |

Galaxy Angel 2? Woot.
I'm also looking foreward to Kujian. That's being released in October according to its official page. The new Negima should be good, too. I may give Kanon a spin as well. |
Quote:
Kimi Ga Nozomu Eien was a compelling series to begin with, but far too much miserable drama for my taste in the end. While game fans felt the anime version was lacking a little, I really enjoyed Tsukihime (not to mention want to play the game for the other storylines as soon as the translation patch is released). Oh and I guess I should add Pumpkin Scissors and Strike Witches to my list of titles to look into. |

http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i6...nbusterDuo.jpg Why does Nono and Noriko look so awesome in that poster. At any rate, seeing the GITS SAC movie is a must, despite me getting somewhat lost and bored in 2nd Gig. The rest of the series there I'm not interested in as I'm stilling trying to get through a dozen and half anime series from years prior, so adding more anime to my back log list won't help. |
Quote:
As far as h-game based series go, I strongly suggest watching Shuffle. It's my favorite of that brand of anime. |

for sure Lupin III: Seven Days Rhapsody is a movie not that im bitching any type of lupin is gold to me :edgarrock:
im gonna be watching these for sure in this order D.Gray-man (got the first two vols of the manga, if its anything like the manga it should be bad ass) Death Note (finished the manga and waiting to see the live action movie,actually i just want to see how they pull this off without it being boring as it has a shit load of mind thinking talks in the manga) Negima (first season made me love shojo anime again isn't the 2nd season suppose to be more serious? :s) Kanon (saw the 13 episode series its gold i would be happy to watch this and cry my eyes out when it comes to it) Jigoku Shoujo 2nd (i hope there is actually a really big story behind jigoku shoujo this time plus i love seeing ppl get revenge lawl) Busou Renkin (the guy who did kenshin eh...we'll see if its any good) Ghost Hunt (i love ghost and this is my wild card out of this season) |

Reviewing the list, I think I may consider Kanon. I was able to get my friend to watch AIR, but when he asked me to watch Kanon, I never did and, to be honest, didn't really have any intentions to. I feel a little bad about it...so I guess now's the time to atone for my sin. |
After having read some scanlated History's Strongest Disciple Kenichi, I'm looking forward to seeing how well it translates to anime. The mix of action and comedy along with the cast of characters makes me believe it will turn out fine.

I can't wait to see the second (season?) of Jigoku Shoujo. I enjoyed the first one.
The Anime version of Death Note should also be interesting. |
Quote:
And that's a shame, because the original was excellent. I still haven't seen other animes emulate the visual style of the final episode. Is there really no other news on Giant Robo? What other series has the company invovled in GR done? I can't tell if they'll continue the OVA story or start fresh, but considering the look of the visual style, I'm betting it's the latter. |

No, screw that. I refuse to have a non-superpowered GR where Big Fire is a group of lame aliens. Bring back Big Nine and the Magnificent Ten or just don't bother.
And I felt the teaser gave enough material to start a new series. I know I'm not the only one who wanted to see Spoiler:
Also, wasn't Giant Robo based on a manga series that was based on the live series? If I recall correctly, the manga reworked the live series by making Big Fire a terrorist group and establishing most of the characters shown in the OVA. The OVAs started off later in the series (which is obvious since most of the characters are already established, and make references to previous events). Well the point is there are three things they'll need to make this succeed. One is to keep the superpowered humans along with the robots. Two is to keep the retro art style, and three is the excellent soundtrack. |
No, the live action series was based on Mitsuteru Yokoyama's original manga.
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...3c/GRcomic.jpg The OVA is said to be a kind of "remake" of the live action series, but I think the story was pretty different, so I don't know if this is true. |
