I’ve only picked up Giant Killing this season. Just your regular football anime (similar to Hungry Heart) but focusing on the team manager who resurrects a losing team.
Seriously, either I’m losing taste or most recent Anime TV series are teh suck.. I mean, I only picked Sora no Woto for winter season.
Bakemonogatari… The best among all currently airing anime series deserved a special blog post. >_>
Anyone disagree?
Just finished watching the Gurren Lagann Movie, I was literally like ‘OMGWTFBBQ!’
You can call it a ‘summarized’ version of Episodes 1 to 14 of the anime series, But with nearly 20mins of new footage.. (total movie lenght: 112mins, with a never-before-seen, different “combined boss mecha” at the end of the movie). The editing is PERFECT and the story flow is just awesome, It’s a must watch even if you haven’t seen the original anime series!
(And I have an exam tomorrow.. *facepalm*)
Just finished ‘playing’ the demo for the Visual Novel, Katawa Shoujo. It was pretty impressive I must say! The scenario is well laid out and the character designs are pretty OK too..
Just noticed this.. (both are from the same director and studio BTW)
Weird.
If you don’t know whatever the stuff in the above image means, then just ignore this post. >_>
All the groups who were subbing the new Fullmetal Alchemist:Brotherhood got Cease & Desist notices from US/Canada license holder FUNimation.. The aftermath: Everybody stopped subtitling the series and removed all the tracker entries.
Seems I have to watch it on Animax.. But it’ll be aired nearly a week after the episode has been actually aired in Japan. (bleah!)
Oh well. (and I think many groups will release it under an anonymous name.. cant say for sure.. but I have my hopes)
Edit: OK.. So, there is an “anonymous” group which subbed the latest episode.. (considering the fonts used, etc. It’s obviously from the same group that used to release it normally) >_>
And Damn! The latest episode had a sad ending.. (way too sad). ;_;
It’s been quite a while since I last updated by blog.. Anyway, After enjoying Toradora!, To Aru Majutsu no Index, Kannagi, Ga-Rei Zero and Minami-ke Okaeri for the last two seasons.. I’ll be watching these from now on.
1. K-On! ― Yet another show with a moe character.. This time these group of girls make music (ooh yeah! rock band!). This one is from KyoAni (the ones who also made Lucky Star and Haruhi, which I enjoyed a bit too much).. Watching this just for fun. >_>
2. Sengoku Basara ― This is the type of anime where you sit back and enjoy with popcorn.. Features horses with bike handlebars, engrish and samurai swords.. Do I need to say more?
3. Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood ― Re-adaptation of the manga [NOT a Sequel], This time it will stick closely to it unlike the previous adaptation.
4. Shangri-La ― A post-apocalyptic sci-fi story where global warming has made temperate cities into tropical forests. An young girl fights the bad guys with a boomerang-thingie, corporations and governments fight over carbon credits. Meh. Dropped this too.. *yaaawn*
5. Phantom ~Requiem for the Phantom~ ― Assassins, Agencies, etc. Dropping this.. I realized I never liked the first episode.
6. Eden of the East ― Starts with a terrorist attack.. don’t have more details [the first episode airs tomorrow.. few more days for the fansubs]. This one is from the director of Ghost in the Shell: SAC.. Edit [11/04/09]: This will probably be the best show this season! ^_^
Also did watch the first episode of Dragon Ball: Kai which is a 20th Anniversary re-mastering and re-edit of Dragon Ball Z.. It’ll have fewer episodes, etc.. skipped it because I had spent considerable amount of my school days watching the original, twice.. Didn’t want to watch the same old thing again.
I’ll watch these selected shows for a few more episodes and see if they’re worthy to continue..
