The latest round of new anime: thoughts

Post by Savia » Sat Aug 02, 2003 10:54 am

The 'Summer Season', as a friend of mine puts it, has just started in Japan, bringing with it a slew of new series. Here is the odd thing; according to what my well-informed friend tells me, out of ~10 series, all barring one appear to contain or focus on a female character with oversized breasts =/ I'm not here to pass judgment on this, but it does seem to be a little odd to me. Any ideas why this is? Or is it just coincidence?

As an aside, the one that doesn't count in the list is the anime version of Shadow Star, my favourite manga of the moment ^^

DNAngel didn't. That was about a boy who turned into Phantom Theif Dark. And Tenshi na Konamaiki, the girl was pretty, but not with big breasts.

Fanservice Sells...

That's the way it goes and that's fine by me...

Depending on how well this season performs, i think it will determine what we'll be seeing this time next year. While I'm sure the fanservice stuff is quite popular, there just might be a bit TOO much this season, and no one is gunna watch it all. I believe this oversaturation likely wont occur again, and maybe we'll have some cool, original series next year. For now though, I'll just go watch these bouncing bosoms do their thing 8)
