    Upcoming Anime: Fall 2008

    I have stumbled upon a nice sampler with summaries for some of the series coming up this fall.

    http://img360.imageshack.us/img360/9...2910431ks2.jpg

    My picks grouped by chance I'll watch

    Of course:

    Gundam 00 S2
    Nodame Cantabile: Paris Chapter

    Probably:
    Clannad After Story (not all that big on Nagisa)
    Shikabane Hime
    LineBarrel

    Interested:
    Ga-Rei
    Tales of the Abyss
    ef - A Tale of Melodies
    Chaos Head
    Tytania
    Hokuto no Ken: Raou's Story

    Maybe:
    Toaru Majitsu no Index
    Hayakko
    Mitchiko to Hatchin

    Why?!?
    Rosario+Vampire 2

    What looks good to you and do you know of anything good that's missing (links would be a plus)

    You should move ef and Clannad to your of course list.

    I've read Ga-rei, but maybe the anime will look better with actual action.

    I totally agree with your WHY?!? comment, well, except for the fact it wasn't capitalized, bold, underlined and italicized to emphasize your point.

    EDIT: Whoa, a third Jigoku shoujo? I'm definitely going to check this out.

    Skip Beat! is a must. Huge fan of the manga, very interested to see what they do with it since it would be the first of Yoshiki Nakamura's manga animated. Her art style is well above average as shoujo goes. Lots of material already (think NANA length and similarly only getting through half the story), so filler would probably be out of the question.

    ef is another. I don't think they can top the first series, but if the prequel clears up a few plot points they completely ignored the first time, I'm there.

    Toradora is another one. I liked the first chapter of the novels, was enjoying the manga adaptation, and though it is another diminutive Rie Kugumiya tsundere, the premise is a little more interesting.

    Gundam 00 too. I already watched half of it...

    Nothing else interests me out of the rest. I'll play it by ear.

    Another Clannad? Crap! I never finished the first one! I really should watch ef.

    OH MY GOD ANOTHER NODAME!!! The whole I am an emotionless hotty male lead is kind of overplayed in anime (shoujo duh) these years, but I still love Nodame dearly. I'll be watching Vampire Knight, and all of the other things that look cool like Yokazura Quartet, Michiko to Hatchin, etc... hrm, Shikabane Hime looks like Shakugan no Shana.. which I don't think I ever finished.

    Ahem, Honey and Clover 3? Kekkaishi 2?

    WTF A STITCH ANIME? WUTTT? I wonder how Macademi Wasshoi could possibly good in any way.

    I also should finish Lucky Star.

    Also looks interesting: Chaos Head, Akane Iro, Ride Back, Kuroshitsuzi (maybe), Jigoku Shoujo, Kannagi, Hakushaku, Ga-Rei, Tales of Abyss.

    Lol @ the Cafe Junkie sample in that pic. It's kind of out of place, I'd say!

    Too bad the After Story isn't Tomoyo After.

    One anime I think you guys are all overlooking is Mitchiko to Hatchin.

    Its made by the guys who did Samurai Champloo and Ergo Proxy. That alone is something worth watching.

    Gundam 00 S2
    Clannad After Story
    Chaos Head

    That's it. First two were obvious on my part. The third one came out of nowhere, but I liked the art and the description.

    Tales of the Abyss looks interesting but... I bought the game on february 2007. Began it on July 2007. Abandoned in August 2007 (Persona 3!!!). Retook it on May 2008. Abandoned in July 2008 just 5 hours prior to the ending. So... I do plan to finish the game... someday.

    I must have missed Kyou no Go no Ni (Today in Class 5-2) the first time I looked through the list. I liked the OVAs, I'll probably watch it.

    uhhh....H&C ended with 2. The various romances were tied up neatly (considering there were only three possible ladies, two of which involved only one of the guys). It also ended in a way that pissed off most of its fans.

    A full season of Today in Class 5-2? Pure win.

    (No, I'm not a pedophile.)

    Must watch:

    ef - A Tale of Melodies (most anticipated series)
    Gundam 00
    Nodame Cantabile - Paris Chapter
    Clannad After Story
    Bounen no Xamdou
    Shigofumi OVA
    Lucky Star OVA

    Most likely:
    Shikabane Hime
    Jigoku Shoujo 3
    Vampire Knight - Guilty (still gotta finish first season)
    Rosario + Vampire
    Cafe Junkie OVA

    I know... I am so sad that it did though. I would totally watch that show in complete love and devotion even if they just made up some random meaningless fillers.. actually didn't they have some of those in the second season? Just wishful thinking. =D

    Will continue this discussion in another thread.

    Heres an updated list for anyone who wants to see. As for the animes I'm looking forward to this Fall :



    For sure :

    Xam'd - Already watching

    Tytania - Probably my most anticipated show of the season, I'm a big fan of strategic and space animes, I liked the premise reading about it on anidb, and checking on 4chan I saw it had the following cast :

    -Writer: Yoshiki Tanaka (Tytania, Legend of the Galactic Heroes, Sohryuden - Legend of the Dragon Kings, The Heroic Legend of Arslan, Ryoko's Case File).
    -Character Designs: Haruhiko Mikimoto (Tytania novels, Macross, Orguss, Megazone 23, Aim for the Top! Gunbuster)
    -Character Adaptation: Noboru Sugimitsu (Hoshi Neko Fullhouse, Legend of the Condor Hero, Mikan Enikki)
    -Studio+Director: Artland, Noboru Ishiguro (Macross, Orguss, Megazone 23, Legend of the Galactic Heroes)
    -Director+Mechanical Designer: Koji Ito (Cybuster, Full Metal Panic!, The Irresponsible Captain Tylor)
    -Mechanical Designer: Kazutaka Miyatake (Macross, Orguss, Gunbuster, Eureka Seven)
    -Sound Director: Susumu Aketagawa (Legend of the Galactic Heroes: My Conquest is the Sea of Stars, Phoenix 2772 - Space Firebird, Barefoot Gen movies)
    -CGI: Sanzigen (Gurren Lagann)

    One Outs - Definitely giving any anime made by the makers of Akagi and Kaiji a shot.

    Gundam 00 2nd Season - Already watched the first half.

    Nodame Cantabile Paris Chapter - The first season was very enjoyable, so I definitely will be picking the second season up.

    Jigoku Shoujo Mitsuganae - Just watched the first two seasons recently, I didn't think I would enjoy an episodic anime, but it was very entertaining.

    ef a tale of melodies - Very well written and touching first season, I doubt it will be as good as the first, but I am still looking forward to it.

    Seto no Hanayome - I found the first season very funny, hopefully the OVA will be as well.



    Considering :

    Shikabane Hime Aka
    Casshern Sins
    Mouryou no Hako
    Kurozuka
    Chaos Head
    Skip Beat! - I read two or three volumes of the manga, and although the art was pretty good, I didn't really like the style that it was presented and I got a little bored with the story. With that said, I do think this is a series that I would enjoy more in an animated form, so I'm hoping for a good adaption.
    Tentai Senshi Sunred - I tend to like spoof animes, and having the same director as Seto no Hanayome gets my hopes up.
    Hell's Angel



    Overall this looks like a really good season for anime, I'm looking forward to it.

    How about one that isn't subbed by someone else... or simply doesn't have a decent fansubber attached to it? You'll do us a big favor.
