Fall 08

EDIT: for a couple more shows and to make it more readable

because the latest update was just @_@ im back to provide opinions on a season that looks decent instead of the previous *coughlolkanokontoloveruetccough*

watched some ep 1s today so like for the 2 people who read this blog you can have my opinions on this

After Story: Don't need to say anything about it since presumably everyone who isn't anti-Key is watching.

Toradora: Kugyuu animu no. 1. Standard tsundereloli but the male protagonist is surprisingly funny and carries the show

To Aru Majutsu no Index: RAILGUN LOLI, received good reviews so far and imo it's pretty nice, again the protagonist isn't another generic one. I thought Index was Kugyuu at first, sounds a lot like her.

Akane-iro ni Somaku Saka: Same studio produced Index, apparently all the budget went to Index hence the low quality of this h-game adaptation. It's fairly easy to tell that it IS an adaptation (OP, stupid plot device to set up meeting). A bit meh and Hirano Aya the imouto doesn't really help, neither does having Kugyuu again. Watch at own risk.

Skip Beat: (didn't watch) HEY GAIZ SHOUJO MANGO

Tales of the Abyss: Moe Tear is moe =D awesome, follows game closely (which I am now playing) and good animation as well. +1

Kuroshits(uji): Darker than Hei the Combat Butler. +1

Kurogane no Linebarrels: Did I hear some NOTO-SAMA? But PV looked dumb. Also, Gonzo.

Shikabane Hime: Gainax. Hit or miss, saw screenies of first ep which loosk... ok I guess. Apparently there's a no service gimmick or something.

Casshern Sins: Pretty nice but need to wiki it before watching as it's a remake and doesn't explain the plot (presumably you are supposed to know)

Chaos Head: recommended by serados. haven't watched yet but will update

Hokuto no Ken: RAWRRRR

Vampire Knight Guilty: refer to Dneo's post or something

Ef: From what I watched of first half of first season it was ok, I like Shaft's funky visuals (although some don't) so I presume it will be good.

Mouryou no Hako: Seems average? Haven't watched.

Jigoku Shoujo: I think I'm the only one who didn't follow the series ):

got some others but nothing that special unless it was the gurren lagann of the season (ie start out slow then the doriru becomes HUEG) but this season looks a lot better than the first half of the year :o
