Hail the new season: what will YOU be watching?
 

Copied wholesale from my thread on SBF, which in turn was stolen off ADTRW (SA) since I'm too lazy to compile the links myself.

So yeah, I'm definitely set on the second seasons of AMG, Aria and School Rumble. Other interesting candidates: Shinigami no Ballad, Ergo Proxy, Soul Link (only because the original game was by the same company that made Shuffle). Oh, and xxxHolic TV.

At this moment, I'm following a few new anime series which I believe have started recently.

Of this new season which Bigblah has outlined, I definately plan on watching ARIA the ANIMATION 2. I do hope that Crystal Nova will continue with the subbing job as I've liked their work with the first season. It did take some time for them to release the last episode for the first season, but I'm pleased with their quality. As well, I will most likely be picking up on Ah! My Goddess Season 2 and perhaps School Rumble Season 2, seeing as the OVAs did not help at all to advance the story. I personally didn't like the OVAs, even though perhaps their intention was just pure comic relief. Hopefully the second season will help bring back more funnies of Harima and Tenma-chan. Although I pray for the last episode to not be a repeat of the cruel joke played on us as in the ending of the first season. Yeah, I know it could not be conclusive because then there wouldn't need to be a second season, but still.

School Rumble Season 2 and Tsubasa Chronicle Season 2 are two I'll be seeing. I'm also curious in seeing what Nana will be like. I've read a few chapters of the manga and it seems interesting.

Oh oh oh, definitely School Rumble Season 2; can't wait to see what Harima's next step will be in his fight for Tenma. Possibly Ah! My Goddess Season 2, if my HD can handle it.

And I'll probably check out the first few episodes of .hack//Roots to see what's new with the series.

As of right now the ones i'll be following are:

School Rumble Season 2
Ah! My Goddess TV Season 2
Shinigami Ballad
JoshiKousei Girls High
Nana
and of course.... Disgaea!

Looking forward to Tsubasa Chronicle 2, School Rumble, Aria and Soul Link. Don't know a single thing about Soul Link, but from the creators of Shuffle!, so I expect it to be nice =)

It doesn't look that promising to me, and the only shows I'll probably follow are .Hack (fan of Sign and the games), Ergo Proxy (style~) and Disgaea (played and loved the game). The rest just seems like it's all been done before.

its not as good as it used to be back then but other than that.. i'll probably check all of them and then let a few go cause i know all of them aren't going to be good anyway. Gintama is on my top list though.

This season looks like much more promising than the last few have.
I will be keeping up with Egro Proxy, .hack//root, Disgaea for sure. (thats alot more than i have been keeping up with recently, last season, i only kept up with...accualy i dont think i kept up with anything last season) I might look into Kiba, because it looks like it might be intresting....

My list goes like this:

Ergo Proxy.
Shinigami no Ballad.
Aria season 2.
School Rumble 2.

Black Lagoon looks interesting, but gotta check some episodes first. Baldr Force EXE Resolution's OP is by KOTOKO and Mami Kawada, so this is a must check. Hopefully the series won't be shitty compared to the song.

Also:

Is this Natsuiro no Sunadokei?

Looking forward to Black Lagoon but somewhere deep inside I shudder at the thought that just maybe it will go the way of Black Cat and die........or become really bad.

I will definitely check out the Keroro Gunsou movie. This is a funny title and I just love it! The TV series has gained a new fansub group and I am eagerly awaiting more froggy goodness. (It's what, at episode 98 now in Japan?!)

Hokuto no Ken I have reservations about. A movie sounds interesting and all, but I still remember the crappy OVA series we were subjected to and I don't really expect this to be any better. I guess I will check it out still.


:cheers:

Black Cat
- Currently finishing off this anime

Well, I don't think that Black Cat is "crappy". It just has a different approach than the manga. Still, they have the same story going.

Naruto

School Rumble 2
Ah! My Goddess 2
Tsubasa Chronicle 2
MAJOR 2
Air Gear
Disgea
.hack//ROOTS
xXxHolic
RAY
Yume Tsukai (Dream Tsukai?)
Jyu-Oh-Sei
Zegapain <== I'm a fan of scifi as well :)
Soul Link
Gintama
KIBA

It is; it's just the original 2-part OVA being broadcast on TV.

Ooh, .Hack//Root. I knew there was a new anime planned to come out along with the release of .Hack//GU (new PS2 game), but I hadn't heard the name of it. I'll definitely be watching that since I'm admittedly a .Hack fanboy.

Makai Senki Disgaea will hopefully be good, since there's already enough hilarity from the game and manga to tap into. One shot I saw of a crowd of Prinnies was a bit worrying since the CG was awful, but all the other shots have looked fine.

Ergo Proxy I haven't seen much on, but everyone who has looked into it seems excited. Then again, I didn't care for Samurai Champloo that much and this is from the same people I heard. Wasn't this already pre-emptively licensed too? If so, I wonder how many subgroups will actually work on it.

I'll be catching the new seasons of Tsubasa and Ah My Goddess because season 1 of each was fantastic. And xxxHOLiC in April too? WHEEEEE!!! ^^

Is this another sequel to Onegai Teacher and Onegai Twins?

No, that's actually Hello Kitty.

:tpg:

Damn. I was hoping for another Onegai series.

A NANA animation, it was only a matter of time.

If somehow I manage to find the time and inspiration to watch anime again, .hack//ROOTS, Disgaea, and Ergo Proxy are on my list, where Ergo Proxy is really the only original series that interests me. There haven't been too many good or original series in the past year, which is saddening.

Where are all the masterpieces? Hopefully they'll resurface soon.

Black Cat is pretty horrible, imo. Well, it was one of the expectations I had with the manga being nothing special, but I still hoped that they could have made some improvements. the music rocks though. As for Black Lagoon, I've looked through the manga while I was in the store, and it's really not my thing; way too much fan art.

I'll give Disgaea, .hack//ROOTS and Ergo Proxy a chance. I might also catch NANA. Nothing else caught my attention. I may check out a few other things if the members here give positive reviews.

same here.

The first episode of Shinigami no ballad is out right now. i believe its by c1anime . the OP song is alright and the lyrics are pretty deep.

ARIA the Animation, along with season two, will be more than enough to satisfy the awesomeness quotient for the rest of the year.

(Totally jumped ship there)

Again? Then why to bother checking it. =\

If Black Lagoon's gonna be that bad, then I'll stick to my previous choices, but then again, checking the first episode is not bad, I guess.

I'll probably be watching School Rumble season 2 (because I finally got around to watching the first season >_<), Tsubasa Chronicle season 2, and Ergo Proxy.

...and whatever else I have time for. (Yes, I've still got catching up to do.)

After I'm done with GITS:SAC 2nd GIG, I'll (hopefully) start watching Naruto when the Anime gets to chapter 239. Also I'm currently watching Inuyasha on Adult Swim along with Neon Genesis Evangelion.
