Upcoming Anime: Fall 2008

[VanoftheDawn]

Rosario + vampire 2 i have read the manga following where they left off and thought it looked good.

haven't seen anyone put Toaru Majutsu yet. it looks pretty interesting

and finally probably Line Barrel

[shinta|hikari]

I will definitely watch Corpse Princess, and of course the sequels like Jigoku Shoujo, Gundam 00, and Nodame.

Another one I am waiting for is Tales of the Abyss. I played and loved the game, mainly because of the story and the main characters, especially the female lead, Tear Grants. She was bad ass, and she is voiced by Yukana. How can I not watch it?

[Kraco]

You must be the only person in existence, who is looking forward to the Rosario+Vampire anime second season. I might have a look at it if I feel especially masochistic at the time.

Majutsu no Index could indeed be a good series. I haven't really ever studied series before they begin to air but the PV doesn't look half bad.

Kannagi I might check out just to see if by a rare chance it happens to be anything similar to Kamichu.

and she is voiced by Yukana.

The first thing I noticed when watching the PV...

[shinta|hikari]

There seems to be this thing with Yukana and narration ever since Code Geass. She seems to sound even better when she starts narrating events instead of just acting out a part.

[Atheist]

Of course:

Michiko to Hatchin
One Outs

Probably:

Kurozuka
Mouryou no Hako

[Buffalobiian]

36 Fall Anime PVs - RAW

From watching that:

Must watch

Gundam 00 Season 2
Clannad After Story
Ef - a tale of melodies
Vampire Knight - Guilty

Sounds good

Tales of the Abyss
Chaos Head
Duke Fairy
Linebarrel

Might check them out

Corpse Princess
TYTANIA
Black Butler (I swear the PV track was used in Vampire Knight last season...)
Majutsu no Index

I might add others to the list too, if more previews come out. It's hard to say just looking at the jpegs for me.

[RyougaZell]

I will definitely watch Corpse Princess, and of course the sequels like Jigoku Shoujo, Gundam 00, and Nodame.

Another one I am waiting for is Tales of the Abyss. I played and loved the game, mainly because of the story and the main characters, especially the female lead, Tear Grants. She was bad ass, and she is voiced by Yukana. How can I not watch it?

LOL... myself I find struggling to find the motivation to finish that game... bought it almost 2 years ago... and still haven't finished it. According to gamefaqs Im only about 5 hours to go to end it but...


Anyway... with new list I stand the same... only Clannad After Story, Chaos Head and Gundam 00 S2... along the usual shounen Naruto, Bleach, One Piece. oh yeah and Xam'd

[Buffalobiian]

Enough of the pics, Overview of Fall2008 is out on Randomc:

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

It's worthwhile checking out, as it gives you a pretty good intro to the shows.

[animus]

One's I'm definitely gonna watch are:
Toradora
Kuroshitsuji
Clannad After
Tales of the Abyss (Played the game, never finished it, also it's a good thing they're still using the same theme Karma by Bump of Chicken; it's totally badass)
Kannagi (Had read a bit of the manga and enjoyed it)
Gundam 00
ef - a tale of melodies
Kyou no 5 no 2 (Gotta love the 5th grade perverseness I guess?)

Ones I might be on the fence about;
Tytania (Space Opera, usually turns out either amazing, or falling between the cracks of mediocrity)
Michiko to Hatchin (Seems like a El Cazador de la Bruja clone with more flair)
Kurozuka (read the manga which had a good amount of sex, nudity, but was rather average)

And maybe I'll give each of the random gory, action animes a try like Jigoku Shoujo Mitsuganae, Shikabane Hime Aka, GA-REI -zero- and Linebarrels of Iron.

I read the manga for the latter 2, and they were OK. They seemed to have changed the premise in Ga-Rei, and Linebarrels is being directed by the art director that did the Gundam Seed character designs.

[Kraco]

I doubt I'd have normally glanced at it twice but I wonder if I must check out Kemeko-DX because it has Ayako Kawasumi in the cast (assuming somebody bothers to sub such a show). Of course I will hear her in Nodame in any case but two series at the same time would hardly be too much.

[Ryllharu]

I'm somewhat disappointed by the offerings this season.

Gundam 00
Skip Beat
Toradora
and
ef - a tale of melodies

are the only ones I'm sure I'll watch.

I'll probably give Akane Iro ni Somaru Saku a try and Kyou no Go no Ni 2 if anyone subs that.

[narutosharingan]

Definitely:

Clannad After Story
Toradora

Likely:

Akane Iro ni Somaru Saku

Maybe:

Hyakko
Kannagi
R+V
Shikabane Hime (corpse princess)
Kurogane no Linebarrel
Kyou no 5 no 2
Kurozuka
Chaos Head
Tytania
Michiko no Hatchin

I'll probably end up with 4-5 max. Nothing seems to be really worthwhile this time. Definitely looking forward to Clannad though.

edit: I feel like such a girl. I need something bloody...I may have to make sure to watch Chaos Head or something.

[Buffalobiian]

One of the more iffy ones for me is Linebarrel.

Looks like it'll have some good mecha action, and possibly a not-so-used plot. But execution and production quality wise it looks like it may be lacking somewhat, but that's hard to tell from simply a few PVs.

I actually find this season quite promising.

[Kraco]

Yeah, I find it promising as well. No idea why some consider it dreadful looking. But then again, people like different things. I like lots of things and thus when reading the blog entry behind your link, I think there's going to be lots of work to try to check out all the interesting looking shows and, in the first place, pray they even get subbed.

[Uberbaka]

Anyone heard anything about when Black Lagoon is back on?
