    Upcoming Anime: Spring 2008

    Click

    To-Love-Ru and Kure-nai should be entertaining at the very least since the manga are quite good. There are a few others that pique my interest such as Vampire Knight (wow vampire anime seems to be more common these days). Ultimately the series i am excited for is Code Geass since i for one am finally ready to continue from the cliffhanger.

    No Kaze no Stigma, Darker than Black, Denno Coil, Air Gear, Tenjou Tenge, etc.

    I HOPE THERE IS SUM KEKKEISHIII

    All of them look pretty cool. I shall put 'em on my to watch list and watch them with the season completes.

    Oh hey, they are making an anime version of It Started with a Kiss. I saw the Chinese L-A and I watched like... 2 eps.. It should make a great anime.

    Hmm, the ones that sounded interesting to me: Monochrome Factor, Nabari no Ou, Soul Eater, Vampire Knight and Wagaya no Oinari-sama

    Me, what a crappy season.
    What´s with all these sicfi-anime?!

    Where are my long adventure-anime with nice characters, a lot of friendship and a bit of magic? :-(

    Well, so far, only Code Geass season 2 for me.

    Wow, lots of Nekkomimi and Kitsumimi anime :P

    Nice to see Code Geass and Xxxholic is back.

    I like cyber-punk, so RD Sennou Chousashitsu and Macross Frontier looks interesting.

    Hmm, I read a lot of the manga for these series. I'm surprised to see so many shoujo series this season.

    Code Geass R2 - A given.

    To-Luv-Ru - Reading this one. Should be a solid light-hearted ecchi series for this season. Some of the roles seemed like a miscast, so I'm interested to see how they play them.

    Kanokon - Read a little of this one too. I enjoyed it so far, so I'll probably be picking this one up. Good cast one this one too. Ayako Kawasumi, Mamiko Noto for those who like her standard Yakumo voice, Chiwa Saito, and a few others.

    RD Sennou Chousashitsu - Cyberpunk, and Production IG no less? A must watch.

    Soul Eater - Read some of this too. Reminded of a S.S. Bleach and ninja academy-era Naruto cross with a "Tim Burton does shonen" art style series. I might give it a shot too.

    Itazura na Kiss - I second Sapphire's opinion. This is really good shoujo, and I may actually give it a try since the manga was dropped by the scanners. Nana Mizuki as the heroine is a plus too, and Daisuke Hirakawa (better known as Makoto from School Days) plays the male lead. Could be really interesting.

    ----------------
    I might give Kure-nai and xxxHolic: Kei a try, but the last season of xxxHolic kind of sucked animation and story wise. I love the manga, but the anime totally fell flat. Sayaka Ohara is a perfect Yuko, but that can only do so much with boring, anime original content.

    Not that I will watch them, content with just reading the manga, but if you like shoujo, these will be good watches:

    Vampire Knight - This is one of those series that makes fangirls scream all the time, non stop, at Cons I have never gone to and never will. Vampires, delicate, pretty boys that all look identical (aside from hair shades), and lots of drama.

    S.A. - A fun, light hearted romance series. A bit episodic at first, but it definitely has it's own charm.

    I don't know about it being a lame spring...Soul Eater just went from my possibles list to a definite watch. The unique art style of the manga appears to be preserved, BONES is doing the production (Eureka 7, Ouran, FMA, RahXephon) so you know the animation will not only stay high quality, it won't diverge from the particular style of the series. The cast is a good mix of newcomers and tested talent, which is another plus.

    I haven't seen a staple shonen series I wanted to see this much in years. Watch the PVs for it from Buffalobiian's link.

    As of right now the only shows I'm sure that I'm going to watch are Code Geass and Macross Frontier. Code geass season 1 was awesome the then first episode for Macross frontier was amazeing.

    Geass
    Macross

    Probably
    Crystal Blaze
    Kanokon
    RD Sennou Chousashitsu
    Tower of Druaga (might even check out the cooperate subs)

    Maybe
    Soul Eater
    Amatsuki

    Chiko, Heiress of the Phantom Thief - Starring Hirano Aya and produced by BONES. I'm definitely picking this up.

    Blade of the Immortal - Folks on Gotwoot have high opinions of this, so I'm obligated to check it out at least.

  19. #19
    Well, I've been looking around... and these guys look of interest to me:

    Amatsuki (I read the manga, nothing great or mind blowing, but I liked the animation and the violence it showed in the PV)
    Crystal Blaze
    Kurenai
    Macross Frontier
    Monochrome Factor
    Nabari no Ou (Read a bit of the manga, should be entertaining if the action is well handled)
    Nijuu Mensou no Musume
    RD Sennou Chousashitsu
    Soul Eater
    The Tower of Dragua
    Blade of the Immortal
    Library War
    Golgo 13 TV (I've always been interested in the movies)
    Himitsu: Top Secret
    Vampire Knight (Maybe)

    In all, I think this season is much more promising to me than the past ones... I think it'll bring me back to watching some, because I haven't been doing much of it lately.

    Whoa a Blade of the Immortal anime

    That caught me off-guard since i haven't heard anything about it and the manga was excellent so lets hope the transition to anime doesn't screw anything up.
