Hi all, since this new anime season seems to be filled with Kickass animes, I think it's best that instead of having 'i need a new anime' threads popping out, we'll have one thread with anime reviews about this season's new stuff.
i know most of you are thinking that it's stupid cuz every new anime has a thread of it's own, but don't you think it's better that we'll have a no-spoilers thread where people can go to when they want basic information about new animes?
anyway, i'll start, by writing about the new animes i've watched so far.
Bleach (ep2)
a good shonen anime, about a guy who gets the powers of a shinigami (deathgod\ soul reaper) and has to take over the responsabilities of the shinigami, fillied with humor and action, probably suited for the taste of Naruto watchers. Highly addictive (i read all the manga in the past few days), defintally a 'to-watch' anime.

My\Mai Hime (ep1)
a teenage superpowers anime, or something like that, seems to be about 3 girls with extraoridinary super powers in a superpowered academy, or something. seems funny, reminds me of Stellvia of the Universe in terms of art, the humor doesn't seem to be too low as well. another anime to the 'to-watch' list.

Yakitate! japan (ep1)
It's bread-making, baby! a kid who dreams about making the ultimate japanese bread goes off to tokyo, highly reminds me of PoT for some reason, charecters are all funny and weird, but hey, what can you expect from a bread-making anime? the op is also great. final word? the 'to-watch' list has gotten another member.
Group: Anime Empire
Gankutsuou (ep1)
They say it's about the count of monte cristo, but this anime appears to be happenning o mar or some other distant planet. the only memorable thing about this anime so far was the art, which is painfull as a nine inch nail drilled into your skull. the rest seems quite dull, no humor, no action, nothing good. I'm going to keep track of it for a few more eps, but i don't think you'll see me praising it anytime soon.

Beck (ep1)
A drama anime, based on some popular manga, seems to be about a rock band forming, not sure yet. nothing special to say about the anime, a slow first episode, and seems to be generally slow and traumatic. well, at least the main charecter has some good points, and isn't just the normal wimp dude. as with Gankutsuou, i'll keep track of Beck for now, but unlike it, i'm gonna probably end up watching the whole thing and enjoying it.
Group : Anime Empire
anyway, those are the animes i've watched so far, feel free to add your own comments about those five, and on other animes (school rumble, tsukiyomi, Grandier, hachiyosho) just follow these simple rules.
1. No spoiling beyond the 2nd episode.
2. Write what kind of anime is.
3. Don't copy summeries of sites like animinfo, animedb, etc...
secret super rule 4. Don't talk about sequals here, the last thing we need is for people to start screaming about FMP 3, RTA 2, Berserk 2, Hellsing 2 and Gundam seed destiney. Only new animes.
Edit: stop talking about GSD, or i'll start talking about DBZ
Edit 2: I updated the group list, i knew i had too many 'anime empire' over there...
