So, what are you looking forward to, GAF? Personally, I think I'll just help myself to some Sunred S2, Kimi ni Todoke and Kuuchuu Buranko.

 

[harSon]

Every season, I tell myself I'll get back into Anime but I never seem to. At least I made some progress this time around, watched both seasons of Hajime no Ippo

 

[bumbillbee]

I'm reaaally looking forward to Kuuchuu Buranko. I loved Mononoke, and the premise sounds interesting. I doubt I'll be watching anything else. Maybe Kimi ni Todoke and Sunred S2 if I ever get around to finishing the first. Rest of the season does not interest me at all.

 

[Calcaneus]

Seitokai no Ichizon and Heaven's Lost Property sound like fucking winners to me.

Spoiler

Jesus Christ.

 

[Tamanon]

Tatakau Shisho: The Book of Bantorra
A library full of books that are actually dead people is guarded by armed librarians against a religious cult known as Sindeki Kyoudan. Yeah, that's what I said, too.

This sounds mildly interesting.

 

[tri_willy]

fnordchan, where are you???



kidding, nice work OP

 

[BeEatNU]

DARKER THAN BLACK: Ryuusei no Gemini
Sequel to the Darker than Black TV show. Suou Pavlichenko, a cheerful 13 year old girl living in Russia, becomes embroiled in the war of the various factions and Contractors vying for power.

FUCK YEAH!
I enjoyed the first one, well most of what I watched and even without seeing the title and just the pic, it looked interesting.

I will be watching this.


Is it weird to be interested in Inuyasha: Fina chapter?

Tatakau Shisho: The Book of Bantorra
A library full of books that are actually dead people is guarded by armed librarians against a religious cult known as Sindeki Kyoudan. Yeah, that's what I said, too.

artwork looks good.

 

[NomarTyme]

Nyan Koi Miracle Train: Welcome to the Chuo Line, Kimi ni Todoke, Blue Literature, Fairy Tail, and Thriller Restaurant. Looks to be interesting fall to me.

 

[ReiGun]

I can tell myself I'm not gonna watch Inuyasha, but I know it's a lie.

Also gonna watch Darker than Black.

 

[charsace]

Looks like a bunch of crap again.

 

[Jason]

SUNRED!

 

[Lostconfused]

Pretty lousy season all around.

Oh well at least there are a few episodes of Mazinger Z left and they are all going to be AWESOME.

 

[Error]

looks like an utterly weak season, nothing even remotely interesting there for me.

 

[Crazymoogle]

Kimi ni Todoke (the manga) is great, so I look forward to see how the anime adaptation turned out. Kuuchuu Buranko and Darker than Black 2 are also on the list.

Tegami Bachi also recently came out as an english manga; I think it will likely be worth a shot, too. Though the problem continues where just as english manga is released, japanese anime adaptations are, really confusing the marketplace...

Highly disturbed that there is a Kiddy Grade sequel. :lol

 

[jman2050]

Remember when Rumiko Takahashi was good, GAF?

Yes 7th. I do

I really do.

 

[xero273]

probably Inuyasha and Kobato.

 

[Hellsing321]

What a weak looking season. I'll probably check out the first episode of Darker Than Black II and then promptly drop it.

 

[vareon]

Having Sunred means this season has already won against any other season so far.

 

[Holtz]

Decent season. I will be watching DtB, Three Kingdoms, Kiddy Grade, Sasameki Koto, The Sacred Blacksmith and maybe Fairy Tail.

 

[speedpop]

Well at least I've got Cross Game and Eden of the East movies to tide me over!

 

[Dresden]

Looks to be a terrible season.

Kuuchuu Buranko seems to be a must watch, but... what else? The Index spin-off is likely to be as boring as the main series, and the new Darker Than Black just doesn't interest me. The new Manglobe series looks like crap, although the trailer certainly had nice animation.

 

[mAcOdIn]

This season does look bland to me. I usually defend them but I dunno, not much here for me to really like.

I will follow Natsu No Arashi for sure, season one was an unexpected joy for me and it actually had probably the funniest episode of all year with the body switching episode, so I'm really looking forward to it.

Aside from that I will probably make an effort to catch Darker than Black, I've never seen the first but I'll give this one a shot. I may also finish Inuyasha just to fucking finish it, same with Asura Cryin'(which I thought would be good but really sucked). Aside from that hopefully something comes around and is good that I wasn't expecting.

 

[JSnake]

All I want is the second Gurren Lagann movie. Give it to meeee. ;_;

 

[Dresden]

Huh, I just saw that Akiyuki Shinbo seems to have directed Natsu no Arashi. Is it any good?

 

[Outlaw]

September 24

Queen's Blade: Heir to the Throne
Sequel to the original Queen's Blade fetish-fest hentai-lite TV show, now with skimpier armor and bigger breasts.

YES!

 

[mAcOdIn]

Huh, I just saw that Akiyuki Shinbo seems to have directed Natsu no Arashi. Is it any good?

YES. Seriously, the show caught me by surprise and the first episode was kind of a stinker but it really got good, real good. Watch it!

 

[Rorschach]

So many blushing little girls...

 

[Dresden]

YES. Seriously, the show caught me by surprise and the first episode was kind of a stinker but it really got good, real good. Watch it!

I'll give it a try then. Been looking for something other than ZSZS and Bakemonogatari to fill my time up.

 

[B.K.]

At least we still have Fullmetal Alchemist for a couple more seasons.

 

[robox]

SUNRED!

REJOICE!

 

[PowersOfTen]

When will the Japanese audience tire of the generic underage girl with big tits wearing a schoolgirl uniform?

 

[watervengeance]

Yes: Darker than Black 2, Fairy Tail
Maybe: The Sacred Blacksmith, Kobato, Blue Literature, Sangoku Engi

 

[S. L.]

yeah, no i'll probably skip.
will maybe look into the second darker than black season...

 

[watervengeance]

When will the Japanese audience tire of the generic underage girl with big tits wearing a schoolgirl uniform?

Never, unless something revolutionary happens to the newer generation.

 

[firehawk12]

There are a few interesting shows in there, but nothing really stands out as something I really need to watch.

Given my slice of life fetish, I'll probably end up watching stuff like Kimi ni Todoke and Sasameki Koto.

 

[Dresden]

When will the Japanese audience tire of the generic underage girl with big tits wearing a schoolgirl uniform?

When will the American audience tire of the generic white protagonist with a firm jaw solve crime with pseudo-science?

That said, the answer is never.

 

[grandjedi6]

Should be interesting to see how the Fairy Tail anime turns out.

 

[Mikey Jr.]

Theres only a small selection of shows that look interesting. I'll try Fairy Tale. The manga was alright, what I read of it anyways.

But one question, who is the demographic for (boy joins all girl school/boy turns into girl) show?

 

[NomarTyme]

There are a few interesting shows in there, but nothing really stands out as something I really need to watch.

Given my slice of life fetish, I'll probably end up watching stuff like Kimi ni Todoke and Sasameki Koto.

My guilty pleasure!

 

[Lostconfused]

Cheburashka Arere
Based on the Russian “national character” Cheburashka. From Eduard Uspensky’s story about a mysterious creature who gets accidentally transported to Russia in a box of oranges.

I will certainly be watching this. Just to experience how badly ones' childhood can be fucked with.

 

[Trevelyon]

September 24

Queen's Blade: Heir to the Throne

YEAH BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOI!

 

[Kandrick]

Kimi ni Todoke

Seitokai no Ichizon

Sasameki Koto


I like, i like.

 

[Angry Grimace]

Darker than Black II?

Armed Librarians?

Win.

Dog boy and stock Mika tsundere in sailor fuku fail to kill Naraku for the 10,000th time?

Less.

 

[Crash Station]

As usual the season is filled with crap, but Fairy Tail makes it all worth it. I really hope it doesn't share the same fate as Rave. What's the last long-running shonen series that actually continued as an anime? Katekyo Hitman Reborn?

 

[Lostconfused]

One piece?

 

[HomerSimpson-Man]

Meh.

 

[Novid]

Queen's Blade: Heir to the Throne: Gulty Pleasure of my friends, not too interested here.

Tentai Senshi Sunred Second Season: Winner!

InuYasha: The Final Chapter
Remember when Rumiko Takahashi was good, GAF: ONE GOOD MANGA 7th. ONE.

Tegami Bachi: Not sure...

Shin Koihime†Musou: OH HELL NO...

Cheburashka Arere: One series dealing with Russian Mascots...

DARKER THAN BLACK: Ryuusei no Gemini: ...another dealing with the Russian Mafia + others (Odessa perhaps?)

Blue Literature: This is a Head Scratcher...

Fairy Tail: A new long term series, hopes it doesnt caught up in its own hype.

Kuuchuu Buranko: Hmm this could be interesting...

 

[Pein]

inuyasha, guilty pleasure since I was in 6th grade. other then that maybe fairy tale and that black smith show.

 

[grandjedi6]

As usual the season is filled with crap, but Fairy Tail makes it all worth it. I really hope it doesn't share the same fate as Rave. What's the last long-running shonen series that actually continued as an anime? Katekyo Hitman Reborn?

Well as far as I'm aware the only long-running-Shonen-animes-based-on-a-manga on air right now are:

Conan
Sgt. Frog
One Piece
Naruto
Bleach
Gintama
Reborn

So yeah, I guess Reborn is the youngest of the current crop.

 

[jman2050]

Dog boy and stock Mika tsundere in sailor fuku fail to kill Naraku for the 10,000th time?

Less.

To be fair, since the manga is finished, I'm pretty sure they actually eventually succeed this time.
