Not the level of Haibane but I really enjoyed Spice and Wolf, and parts of it reminded me of Haibane. Its set in a fantasy Renaissance/early industrial area. There's a bit of fantasy to it and like Haibane it just sticks you in the world, feeling little need to explain things and just takes you along for the ride.
Based on the wiki and a clarification of what the icon is, I'm going to give Seikon no Qwaser a shot since the story was created by Hiroyuki Yoshino, who was the screenwriter for Mai Hime. The source material seems promising enough that it won't be similar to Queen's Blade like many are claiming, but I'm not hopeful at all the anime will be faithful and strike the balance hinted by the overview.
Have you seen the trailer? Looks pretty awful, IMO. I have no problem with nudity, but the idea...I mean seriously, WTF are they thinking?Geneijin said:
What ever happened to the rumour of a new Berserk anime? That ever pan out?
I was also hoping that The Five Killers got back on track, but it there's still no sign of it so...
Hellsing is the only ongoing OVA series worth mentioning, and there seems to be absolutely nothing on the horizon. Still, the pathetic state of the anime industry doesn't really mean much to me this year as 2010 looks great for movies, TV and games.
Good question. Also curious whether there's a new TV season in the offing.faridmon said:
That being said...I'm thinking Spring for the OVA.
I hope they have some great material to work with. After getting my wish for a second season of Darker Than Black...I'm kinda regretting it now. The direction the industry is taken should have made the changes to the show less startling...no less disappointing, though.
Did I just read 'draws his power from breast milk' in the Qwaser of Stigmata description? :lol
This sounds like some weird Ecchi series if this is not in fact a typo.
What's sad is that the animation for this is not bad at all, looking at the trailer. :lol
DO NOT WANT!
Oh and Hellsing Ultimate for life bitches!
Very few good things have come out in the past few years aside from the remakes and continuations of some series. My biggest surprised, though, from last year was this:
Sword of the Stranger.

Yeah, Katanagatari and Durarara! probably have a chance of being good, purely based on pedigree.
Gag Manga Biyori+ could be fun, if it's insane in the right way. Otherwise only headache.
Vampire Bund...hmmm well. The plot could be good. We will see. At least it won't be Twilight :lol
sidenote: since my vampire-loli has been destroyed in BlazBlue's sequel, I demand compensation.
@Dahbomb: and what's that?

Oh my bad I thought the name was in the poster... :lol
It's Sword of the Stranger. It got a US release in 2009 I believe and it's by Bones. It is one of the better works that Bones has put out in recent years IMO. It's a feature length movie, not a series. Also for the record it was submitted as a nomination for Best Animated feature of the year in last year's Oscars (there were 14 entries this year). I don't think it made the cut because therewere only 3 nominations last year (Wall E, Kung Fu Panda and Bolt).

Yeah, I've seen the trailer, but I'm willing to still reserve judgment (strangely enough) because of the wiki overview on Qwaser, Mai Hime's quality, and some comments from readers of the manga make it sound promising. I'll probably give Qwaser 3-5 episodes before I drop.
The quotes that made me interested was this:
and the icon clarification I was referring to:
Also, I just noticed and saw the uncensored trailer...
I think I might change my mind. I'm definitely getting wrong impressions from it!!! :lol

seriously? is this where we are at with anime at this point? what is this crap.
We need a new rule in these anime threads.
No more bitching about the lineup unless you can name your favorite seasons/years in anime history starting from 1980 or thereabouts, and the ratio of good to average to poor series in each and any notable masterpieces.
(Exceptions for people whose name is FnordChan or Hitokage.)
YOU DON'T LIKE MOEBLOB/LOLI SHIT.
WE GET IT.

Durarara!!!

Those are the only (brand new) things that look interesting this season.

As long as no one in these threads proclaims Bakemonogatari as the best anime of the decade then I have no problems with a few people complaining. Besides Durara there is nothing original that doesn't fall in the Moe category this season. Sora no Woto gets a pass from me because the setup leaves room for some drama down the line.
You're exempt from posting credentials!Hitokage said:
(Also you only say that because Eden of the East is still on your "To Watch" list! I will now take this time to recommend Maria + Holic, Bakemonogatari, Eve no Jikan and Summer Wars.)
Unfortunately, I never got into Medieval Fantasy Economics and Wolf. But I'm pretty happy this year between the aforementioned series and King of Eden, which I will be able to watch probably sometime in April.Hitokage said:
Hype for Katanagatari!

It's like they wanted to one-up Kodomo No Jikan.
Durarara is everything but that. It will be the second coming.Pachinko said:
No moe lolirape bullshit anime will ever be awesome enough to have ganguro phone stomping.
Edit: Durarara PV. Everyone needs to watch this before trying to dismiss the entire season.

To be fair though, if the moe-blobs retain their quality season after the season, it wouldn't be so bad. The ones in this season don't even sound remotely interesting. Then there's the fact that one-third of this season are sequels.

AWESOME.
I literally smile every time the first one plays and Hei does something awesome. :lol- Status
