Upcoming Anime: Winter 2006/2007

With a new year not only we get a new start and whatever... we also get new series. A lot like always (well, maybe NOT like last year that we got over 50...). Apart from those series you began watching this season... which of the next are you waiting to see? Personally this are what I wait for (or Im willing to at least give a chance).

Saint October

Year 2035. Sakura Gakuen is one of the schools scheduled to be demolished because of the low natality (sp?) in the last years. Sakura students are resigned to lose their school until a girl, called Manabi Amamiya, arrives and will do everything to save the school.

Venus Versus Virus

http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b1...enos07/009.jpg

Sumire Takahana, a girl with a dark personality, is an outcast, criticized (sp?) because of her clothes, personality and comments about being able to see ghosts. She has been living a normal life, despite all that, until one night she witnesses a fight between a demon and girl armed with enormous guns.

The girl hands Sumire a card about Venus Vanguard, a gothic cloth store. When Sumire arrives she meets the girl once more. Lucia, the girl, tells her about the Virus, a race of demons she fights.

Premieres Jan 11.


This are only January's new series, with many more to come. At least for now I'll check the first episodes of these three.

Any series you guys expecting?

Hey that Venus Versus Virus sounds a lot like Bleach only with a girl. still sounds interesting

anime-source has a nice listing of premier dates for upcoming anime series, although descriptions of them are still quite incomplete.

http://www.anime-source.com/banzai/m...wtopic&t=16326

The earliest series I'm looking forward to comes out on Feb. 5th... you know... that one...:D

Some others that caught my interest:
"Rebuild of Evangelion" 0_o
"Gekijouban Shakugan no Shana" FUCK ye~~ah!
"Sisters of Wellber"

Another Evangelion movie? Geez... Gainax isn't getting new ideas lately.

Seeing the list I really don't expect no other series, apart from that one...


Hmmm... anyone knows when Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS will begin?

Major Season 3

This is what I'm looking forward to the most. A baseball anime with a lot of heart. I wish it were more popular. Definitely an underrated series.

Honoko, don't direct link pictures to other sites. Upload the picture somewhere.

The only series that caught my eye are the second season of Shana and Nodame Cantabile.
For Shana... well, first season was just good (worse case average, for me).
For Nodame Cantabile, I'm watching the live-action for that show currently (which is absolutely fabulous), so I am really anxious to see how the anime turns out.

There's no 2nd season for Shana.

Gekijouban = Movie Presentation

The series that I'm most interested in so far are :

Tokyo Majin Gakuen Kenpuchou Majin site
Major Season 3
Nodame Cantabile (the manga and live action seems to be really popular now)
Rebuild of Evangelion

Changed the thread title since we have too many vague title threads that speak pretty much of the same thing (Upcoming Animes), this way it should be easier to keep track of the threads.

Anyways, for this Winter season, these are the ones I'm mostly looking forward to:

Rozen Maiden OVA (already aired and released)
Major 3rd Season
Deltora Quest
Les Miserables~Shoujo Cosette
SHUFFLE! MEMORIES
Master of Epic
Project Blue Chikyuu SOS
Venus Versus Virus
Getsumen Toheiki Mina (Densha no Otoko inside anime)
Tokyo Majin Gakuen Kenpucho
Naruto: Shippuden
Ikkitousen Dragon Destiny


So, for when the spring season is drawing close, I guess a similar thread to this one should be created with an appropiate title.

Ho... That's interesting. Les Miserables was one of the very first novels I ever read. A remarkable book, and taught me an important lesson about story telling that I never forgot ever since, despite the fact I wasn't very old at all, when I read the book (can't tell any details about that lesson in case somebody here has forgotten most of the plot of Les Miserables).

Thanks for the heads-up, Bud! I'll certainly be looking forward to this one.

forgot about that second ikkitousen, definitly wanna see that, although a second tenjou tenge would be nicer :/

Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS is confirmed to be aired on April 2007.
Although rumor states it seems Nanoha, Fate and Hayate will be relegated to a secondary role and the series will focus on four new characters.

Another series that premieres on April and Im expecting is..

A little extra:
Too bad we never get this games/novels.

Fate/Zero

http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b1...ket_ii/002.jpg

I can't say I'm pleased about the Nanoha update. But, when I first saw a description of the first season of Nanoha I wasn't interested until I watched the first episode. Got a long wait to find out now.

I've got Venus Versus Virus and whatever's still going from last season to look forward to in the meantime.

I thought the same, but Im willing to give StrikerS a chance. Specially since I like the character design of three of the new chars (the gun wielding girl looks like a combination of Nanoha, Fate and Hayate somehow... don't like her design, but oh well)

I will certainly give it a chance. I wasn't expecting anything from the series in the first place and only glanced at it because so many people talked about it. Yet, after watching the first episodes, I consumed the rest pretty eagerly and rapidly. So, with a history like that, I'm not entitled to too much skepticism...

If Nanoha trains one of them in her family's Twin Kodachi Style while she's giving them magic combat training, I will be ecstatic. I liked the rare references to Triangle Heart in the first series, but something like that would make my day.

Please don't discuss more plot elements for Nanoha, I haven't watched the second series yet.

Guess I need to watch Nanoha since I plan on giving the new one a shot. I'll also be picking up Ikkitousen and getting back into Naruto.
