Obligatory Spring 2008 New Shows Thread
Might as well begin a tradition since I did create last season's thread. As usual, yoinking this from the fine folks at ADTRW.
Real Drive Sennou Chousashitsu will hook me in based on the subject matter in addition to the staff involved. and the same can be said for Himitsu Top Secret. It's been awhile since I've seen a mystery-type show as it is (since Monster actually). Kaiba should be an interesting show, if for no reason than the mindfucks which appear to resonate with me on some level (hey, I thought Paprika was a decent movie) and Golgo might prove to be some decent action since I've been kind of starving for some good quality action after finishing up Shigurui. Unfortunately, no Geass for me since I have the first season sitting on my hard drive begging to be watched. So until I get to it, it'll have to wait. Anyhow, anything you guys are watching that you're looking forwards to that I could potentially look into? Jam it back in, in the dark. |
My top 3 will most likely be Kanokon (hell. yes.), Allison and Lilia, and Macross Frontier.
I missed out on the original Code Geass, but there's a batch torrent out I hope to get and marathon before R2 gets too far in, so I'll probably pick that up too. Other two that might get my interest are obviously Golgo 13 (for being awesome) and Crystal Blaze. There's nowhere I can't reach. #654: Braixen |
I might give Allison to Lilia a shot. Never got around to watching more than one episode of Kino's Journey, but I did like what I saw and this premise sounds interesting. Tower of Druaga also sounds like it has great potential if only for the people behind it. I'm always up for a good fantasy show.
Of course, I'll be tracking down .Hack//GU Trilogy once someone subs it. I'm a complete whore for anything .Hack, and even though it's just a CG showing of the GU games' events it should be a fun watch. This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
Code Geass and Macross are the only two series I'll check out simply of their branding. However The Tower of Druaga ~the Aegis of URUK~ has me interested given FMP's writer is involved, I sort of hope the series will fall into the same vein as FMP in terms of the balance between action and comedy. Golgo 13 also sounds pretty promising from the description. And Zettai Karen Children sounds like it could be quite hilarious.
I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |
I remember reading some of the Bus Gamer manga a while back. I think I enjoyed it, but I just have a hard time getting into manga in general (I've only ever finished one series in my life), so I probably never finished it. But if the concept alone was intriguing enough to get me to download the manga, it's probably good enough to get me to watch the anime.
The only other things that sound interesting to me are Kite Liberator and Golgo 13, but I've never seen the original of either. It's probably not as important for Golgo, but I'd probably have to watch the first Kite before I even consider watching this new one. I was speaking idiomatically. |
Da Capo II Season Two, I (unfortunately) finished season one and there wasn't nearly enough drama to make it worthwhile.
Kanokon just for the opportunity to make fun of Tails (having two A-list VAs is a plus). Plus some random obscure show nobody knows or cares about but will inevitably become the season's sleeper hit. Happens every single time. What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |
To-Love-Ru because I'm in love with the manga. Also boobs. Soul Eater because it's from BONES and they can do no wrong.
Other than that, just a wait to see what gets subbed on a regular schedule by groups I like. FELIPE NO |
For a moment there I thought Fireball was an anime adaptation of Katsuhiro Otomo's pre-Akira short work that he never finished
I suppose I'll need to take a look at Special-A and Kanokon (why does the main guy look like he's 12). Kyouran Kazoku Nikki as well, if it's lulz enough. I'm far more interested in the upcoming Blade of the Immortal anime that's set for this summer. Anxious to see how it turns out. EDIT: As for Kite Liberator, I can't really watch anything Yasuomi Umetsu does anymore. It was impossible to even watch his interview on ANN without a big red "THIS MAN MADE YELLOW STAR" or maybe a "THIS MAN ANIMATES EXTREMELY DETAILED RAPE ORGIES" text flashing on screen. What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Our job is so much easier... ...when people are open-minded. YEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! Anyway. I'll give CSI:Animu a chance, and I'll probably be watching Code Geass R2 despite not watching the postseason episodes. Allison to Lillia, Real Drive and Nijuu-Mensou no Musume all look promising, and S-A ~Special-A~ might be able to fill the romance comedy niche Clannad will be leaving. Not sure if I'll bother with GONZO's speedsubs or not. Jam it back in, in the dark. |
Interesting set of choices this season.
to-Love-ru: Saka got me into this manga. It's shameless fanservice high school doki doki romance/comedy, but for some reason it makes me chuckle. Kanokon: Because I'm Tails, obviously. Soul Eater: I've been shown a couple of different promos, and it looks pretty awesome. Not gonna lie. Alice and Lilia: If this is anything remotely similar to Kino's Travels I'm sold. Edit: How could I forget Macross? Nyanroll: The Series. I might give other things a shot, but those are my main ones. But Kimi Ga Nozomu Eien Season 2? Can we just animate MuvLuv already? There's nowhere I can't reach.

They already animated MuvLuv, they called it Akane Maniax
But seriously, considering the relative success of School Days, I don't see why they wouldn't. It's the same format of doki doki school romance comedy -> mindfuck bloodbath anyway. Well, except a lot more epic. This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
Wow, looks like I've underestimated Allison to Lilia...I don't even know that the author is the one creating Kino no Tabi.
Blassreiter has already stuck in my head, since I'm a big fan of nitro+. And so do Kure-nai, which has stolen my attention due to the unique character design (at the manga, not the anime). RD seems cool though I don't really know the story and Toshokan Sensou seems to be an enjoyable material to laugh at. And Monochrome Factor seems to be a good supernatural stroy after the magnificent Shinreigari. I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |
Suck that Zero no Tsukaima season 3 didn't make this season. Code Geass is really the only thing standing out for me right now but hopefully there will be some surprises like True Tears was this season.
And there sure is a lot of Yaoi shit in that list. I was speaking idiomatically. |
I'm actually more puzzled by the fact that there seem to be a lot of Hayate no Gotoku lookalike shows recently. Did Hayate really spawn that genre or has it been there for quite some time and I just never noticed? What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |
Nice. I guess out of the whole list, I'll be watching like 2-3 animes =/. Nothing else is interesting.
Macross Frontier - guess I'll still catch this since I've always been a fan of the Macross universe. Lupin - Why not? ;p Kite Liberator - Saw the prequel with a friend. I guess this should be more bloody than ever. KimiNozoEien - Yay. xxxHolic Tsugi - Honestly, I just started watching the first season and I still love it despite the long arms and small heads. It's trippy and that's what counts ;p Most amazing jew boots |
Nothing hugely epic on that list, but I'll end up checking out the Comedy/Romance section of that list, more than likely. I'll elaborate on specific titles later, since I'm in class right now. ^.^;; That and I haven't gotten to clicking on all the links yet.
But from I remember, probably going to check out D.C II S.S and Kanokon. Quite sure there's more, but I'm too lazy to continuously scroll up and down the page. Jam it back in, in the dark.

Code Geass! Been waiting for this for a while now, the first season was awesome, I did like it alot. I'm also thinking of trying out Real Drive Sennou Chousashitsu, because I did like Lain, and Ghost in a shell wasn't all that bad. I would really like to see what this turns into, it sounds good so far.
Soul Eater sounds like death note, no? There's nowhere I can't reach.

If Soul Eater sounds like Death Note, then Bleach and Full Moon wo Sagashite should also be similar to Death Note.
(they aren't) I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |
Soul Eater looks to be good, I meen bones hasn't majourly fucked up all that much.
I'm going to watch 5d's on the idea that Kamen Rider + Card Games = Train Wreck, so bad it needs to be looked at. How ya doing, buddy? All I'm saying is that if the laptops of the future are not in the
shape of chibi genie girls then I'm going to be sorely disappointed.

Lupin III Green vs. Red,xxxholic season 2,kite liberator,soul eater,monochrome factor and kaiba all of these im looking forward to watching.
What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |
As long as everybody watches and follows Chi's Sweet Home -
As for me, I still don't know what to watch, but something will catch my interest sooner or later - In the end, I'll probably check out 8/10 of those and follow 4,8/10. FELIPE NO |

Meh, I thought so.had just thought because of the related shinigami from Death Note that is in Soul Eater. I'm going to watch it anyway, because it sounds good.
p.s. sakasaks What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |
So some of the new shows have started coming out. Opinions on what you've seen so far?
I checked out a few last night all being in a similar genre. To-Love-Ru - Ug shit, and I have a high tolerance for shit. I'm going to give this a few more episodes but I'm not expecting much from it. There's generic then there is stuff like this show. Kanokon - Kind of torn on this. I like the art style and I'm going to need a fan service show this season but I don't dig the furry and it doesn't really have a good story to go with it like Spice and Wolf did to look past the furry. Itazura na Kiss - Pretty standard but pretty good stuff. Liking the flow and the characters so far. I'm looking forward to the next episode which is a good sign. Jam it back in, in the dark. |
