Fall 2008 Anime Before-Watching Impressions
I planned to do this by the end of this month but when I found out that some of the upcoming season's series will already be airing this week, I thought of doing this earlier ^^; ehehe
>>>>> MOST ANTICIPATED ANIME THIS FALL <<<<<
::::: Tengen Toppa Gurren-Lagann the Movie :::::
TTGL is one of my all-time favorite anime xD I don't care if it's just like the summary of the first half of the series, I'm sure it'll still be mad eof awesome =3 I can't wait for this xD Hope this gets subbed really really really fast *_*
>>>>> SEQUELS I'LL BE WATCHING <<<<<
::::: Gundam 00 Second Season :::::
I BLAME ITS CRACK TRAILER FOR MAKING ME SO EXCITED FOR THIS xD Those chibi and insane comedy were just so amusing xD It was enought to make me . . .crave for the series xD Sadly, Graham's existence in this sequel is not confirmed. But things seem to be looking good. Hopefully this season won't crack my brain like the Thrones and excessive Saji & Louise screentime like last season -_-
::::: Clannad ~After Story~ :::::
I miss CLANNAD's pretty art and crack and fun characters *_* Especially Tomoya xD Wheeeee!!! But this sequel seems to be more Nagisa-centric >_> Oh well, Tomoya's still there so I guess I can tolerate it. Hehe.
::::: Vampire Knight Guilty :::::
I was planning to NOT watch this because first season disappointed me and the recent manga events are being WTF?! and Yuuki becomes more and more annoying (Look! My hair seems longer now 'coz I've powered up but I'm still a damsel-in-distress that is too special!) . . .T_T . . . but I saw a scene at the trailer with the twins that is not familiar to me O_O . . . .I love anything identical twin boys related =3 I'm liking the new music too xD
::::: Nodame Cantabile Paris-hen :::::
I honestly haven't watched its first season yet ^^; It's one of my goals to finish it before the sequel ^^; But I'm already very sure that I'm gonna love it because I've read some manga chapters and I enjoyed it a lot! xD Besides, I love crack and classical music xD Wheee!
>>>>> OVA I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR <<<<<
::::: Lucky Star :::::
Konata-sama! I miss your insanity! Kagami-sama! I miss you tsudere goddess! I want more Lucky Star crack *_*
::::: Hell's Angels :::::
Title was enought to catch my interest xD And a school in hell? Interesting on what it'll be like xD
>>>>> NEW SERIES THAT CAUGHT MY INTEREST AND WATCHING <<<<<
1. Hakushaku to Yousei
Medieval England + dark fantasy (it's dark in a way) + Ouran-like art style + bishounens + cat with a hat = WIN! xD
2. Tytania
I started to have a huge respect for space operas based on old series thanks to Toward the Terra *_* I don't think it will be able to beat Toward the Terra in epic awesomeness, but it seems promising *_*
3. Chaos;Head
I love psychological murder stuff *_* It somewhat reminds me of Mirai Nikki ^^; I just hope the leading leady is not as freaky as MN's ^^; And besides, Firo's seiyuu is there xD Squee!
4. Casshern SINS
based on an old anime with a cyborg saving the world? I love this classic sci-fi stuff. Count me in *_*
5. Kuroshitsuji
main story is actually interesting but its ordinary days were boring. Only cool characters here are the butler and his young master. I dunno if it's BL, but I love its dark fantasy theme *_*
6. Shikabane Hime: Aka
The manga's okay, and it's animated by Gainax! ^_^ I think it will do okay xD I want some zombie action *_*
7. Yozakura Shiusou ~Yozakura Quartet~
slice of life + supernatural is a nice combination for me xD Characters also seemed interesting. ^___^
8. Ga-rei-zero-
this doesn't seem to be based on the manga. The jump suits look kinda stupid, but the characters seem interesting. I love spirit+ action stuff anywayz, so most likely I'll watch it xD Hopefully it improves the manga, because though the story's nice, it wasn't that great ^^;
9. Kurozuka
It sounded like Blade of the Immortal but more shounen-style action and romance. And it seems that it will reach the future society. Ancient immortal guy in the technology world, interesting xD And besides, I love series involving immortals =3
10. To Aru Majutsu no Index
I thought I was gonna like the little nun but she turned out to be quite annoying -_- The other girl caught my interest though. Story's pretty interesting and I love anime with religious and supernatural stuff *_*
11. Bihada Ichizoku
An anime about cosmetics? First time I heard of something like that! Interesting! It already wins in uniqueness =3
12. Battle Spirits Shounen Toppa Version
I am only watching this because it reminds me of Yuugi-Oh and the boy in white caught my interest xD I know it's a kids anime . . . . but my brain is a 9-year-old's so I might like it. LOL! xD
>>>>> NEW SERIES THAT GIVE ME SECOND THOUGHTS <<<<<
13. Tales of the Abyss
Other Tales of the Something shows that I've read/watched didn't impress me much. Its synopsis got me a little bored. But many say that the game was awesome. Art is nice. Oh I dunno.
14. Kannagi
For some reason I like the character designs and it seems crack ^^; Story seems cliche, but if it turns out to be somethign entertaining, then it's okay to watch.
15. Michiko To Hatchin
I hate it when the main characters are two girls because the usual combination is: tough sexy chick + helplessly annoying girl. And I hate the weaker one!!! T_T But the story seems interesting and its made by manglobe (those who did Ergo Proxy, and Monster too I think). Oh I dunno x_x
16. Hyakko
It seems like Zettai Karen Children girls in a school comedy setting based on a promo pic ^^; Well, if its comedy is indeed funny, then this will be a nice watch ^_^
17. Toradora!
I don't get why it was an award-winning novel because I don't see anything spectacular in its story -_- Its leading lady is also freakin' similar to Louise of Zero no Tsukaima. Can't the author create a totally different leading lady for his/her other series? x_x But the leading guy's best friend is pretty cute xD Haha. I dunno.
18. Kurogane no Linebarrel
I love shounen mecha but oh come one, gimme a better and more interestign story. And please, that main character is so damn annoying that he deserves to die. Why the heck was he blessed with having Kakihara Tetsuya as his seiyuu??!!! Baaawww ;_; If ever I watch this, most likely it's because of my favorite voice actor >_>
19. Kyou no 5 no 2
This is Minami-Ke in kiddie and more perverted version. I didn't have a very good experience with Minami-Ke's first season, and its second season was too horrible. So I dunno about its junior series x_X
20. Skip Beat
I don't understand why a lot of fangurls are crazy of this because when I tried its first volume, it gave me headaches x_x The revenge and becoming an idol idea is interesting, but I find its characters and events realy stupid x_x But an anime adaptation either improves, ruins, or maintains the quality of the manga. In case the anime improves it, maybe I'll find myself watching it.
21. One Outs
It looks boring but I like sports anime xD Loved baseball anime thanks to Ookiku Furikabute xD I'll see first.
22. Kemeko Deluxe
Story sounds kinda stupid but if its as crack as Kyouran Kazoku Nikki, maybe it will be able to entertain me xD Hehe
23. Akane Iro ni Somaru Saka
it seemed like School Days + H2O for me x_X But what if it's actually not as pathetic as I think it is? I'll see spoiler screenshots first to decide whether I'll watch or not.
>>>>> SEQUELS I WON'T WATCH <<<<<
::::: Jigoku Shoujo Mitsuganae :::::
I like Jigoku Shoujo . . . .only when it's not being episodic -_- At the beginning it's okay, but if I see the same style over and over it gets really boring x_x Had been a huge waste of my time. I just spoiled myself on interesting episodes. This is only worth marathoning if you have lots of time for something kinda boring ^^;
::::: Hokuto no Ken Raoh Gaiden: Ten no Haoh :::::
I am not sure if it's a sequel or a spin-off, but most likely it will be connected to the first series. And I don't like it if I don't understand what's going on just because I haven't seen the predecesor -_- Too bad, it seemed kinda interesting though ^^;
::::: Ef ~A tale of melodies~ :::::
didn't bother to watch its prequel. at first impression I didn't like it, but many say it's good. I dunno x_x I only agree to the music. The music is indeed good *_*
::::: Junjou Romantica 2 :::::
I am SCARED of explicit yaoi x_x The manga gave me nightmares. I didn't bother to watch its prequel, what more to this sequel? ^^;
::::: Noramimi2 :::::
Main character reminded me of Plue from Rave . . . and it's not nice 'coz I hate Plue to gazillion pieces -_- I didn't bother to watch it, why bother watch the sequel ^^;
::::: Rosario to Vampire CAPU2 :::::
Its manga is already perverted fanservice and its anime adaptation made it WORSE! Why would I bother to watch a series that emphasizes on boobs, boobs, boobs, and oh! panty shots too! . . . . T_T
>>>>> NEW SERIES THAT I DROP AT ONCE <<<<<
::::: Stitch! :::::
I love the Disney Stitch movie, and it already has a nice TV series. I don't see the point on making it an anime x_X
::::: Macademi Wasshoi! :::::
lolis! aaaaahhh!
:::::: Tentai Senshi Sunred :::::
art looks stupid. nah
Okayz, no back to my marathons xD
