Fall 08 Anime Season

Postby OropherZero » Mon Sep 29, 2008 4:09 am

Listing is finally out, whats everyone going to follow? 8-)

http://randomc.animeblogger.net/2008/09 ... 8-preview/

There is a **** load of new anime this time and about more I want to try out than last year excluding the definites. Although I'm staying away from Aniplex stuff unless I can get it off IRC and I suggest everyone else does the same unless you want your ISP to give your warning letters or cut your service :roll: Also Aya Hirano must be one busy girl this season...

Going to try 1-2eps before making a decision:
Shikabane Hime Aka
Hyakko
Kuroshitsuji
Akane Iro ni Somaru Saku <- only because its full of epic female seiyuus,
Tales of the Abyss - Once I start and finish the game
Linebarrels of Iron - I find GONZO anime don't generally do it for me but I do try
To Aru Majutsu no Index - Something I've come across multiple times
GA-REI -zero- - nice looking character designs
Mouryou no Hako - Looks like a yuri anime and has CLAMP character designs
Nodame Paris - Once I finish the first series

Definites:
Clannad After Story - F0k yes
Gundam 00 - F0k yes
Vampire Knights Guilty
ef - a tale of melodies - F0k yes

Lots of murder related anime this season it seems :twisted:

- Toradora: I really liked the light novel and manga, but they seem to have massivly messed up Taiga's character design for the anime... will watch regardless.

- Clannad After Story: No real explanation needed really, I loved Nagisa's route in the game and I can only hope they do it justice for the anime.

- ef - a tale of melodies: Another must see for me, this one without exception is a must even if only for the beautiful visuals. I'm also curious as to how they will handle it, in regards to if the previous main characters hold any importance or not.

- Ga-Rei zero: nice character designs, solid story etc etc

- Yozakura Quartet: very nice character designs, story sounds promising.

- Chaos;Head: Sure, they seem to have screwed up the character designs, but I can live with that. Hopefully they won't turn it into a trainwreck.

I'll probably drop a few of these after the first few episodes, but for the most part this will be my to-watch list of the season.

I have been waiting for the Fall Season Anime

For sure watching

Clannad: After Story:

Ef- A Tale of Melodies:


Animes That I Might take a few episodes before making a decision:

Chaos;Head

Ga-Rei- The character designs look different then the manga

Toradora!

Casshern Sins- The character designs really appeal to me

Linebarrels of Iron

To Aru Majutsu no Index

Gundam 00 Season 2: I need to finish the first season D:

Shikabane Hime Aka

A couple more peak my interest.
I hope this will be the best season for Anime.

I need to fill some gaps in anime that I dropped/finished.

The only one that I am still keeping pace on is Xam'd :O

I just watched the first episode of Kyo no Go no Ni (TV).
If you enjoyed the OVAs, stay as far away from this show as possible. The animation is shit. The transitions from normal to serious face are not done nearly as well. I immediately stopped watching and deleted it when it got to the beloved Superball scene and found that the pantyshots were completely edited out.

This show stains the good name of the OVA. Take my advice and skip this one.

In the meantime, watching
Clannad: After Story
Gundam 00
Kannagi
Toradora

Plan to watch:
ef - a tale of melodies
Chaos;Head
