Upcoming Anime Series: Fall 2006 Edition

Yamato Nadesico 7 Change - Apparently not actually about anorexia. "Wallflower" in the US.

Wait, what? I thought Wallflower was Perfect Girl Evolution. Is this the same series? Why the hell give it yet another name ;_;


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.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Ok... maybe I'll give it a chance. Plz recommend other hentai game based anime? I always used to skip out on them

Chances are you're already watching a few without realizing it. Utawarerumono, Air, Shuffle, To Heart and Pia Carrot were all based on h-games.

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.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I figured that's an issue I'll worry about once the translation is finally released. There'll probably be a surge of sources shortly after too, since everyone else will want one too. Not to mention I already know a few Type-Moon fans to ask.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

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.

It might not even be directly related to the Giant Robo anime, but the original old manga it was made from. It would be kinda tricky to continue from where the first OVA ended too, so I'm guessing starting over is what they plan.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

No, the live action series was based on Mitsuteru Yokoyama's original manga.



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.

I was speaking idiomatically.
