Fall '08 Anime Update 1

 Changing the format of the blog now since ParaDOX doesn't like my format...keeps QQing over it >.< so anywho.....the new format will be based on the anime seasons, Fall, Winter, Spring, Summer. So Fall anime series that last about 12 or 13 episodes will go from October to the end of December, although some continue on with another 12 or 13 more episodes they will be still be added into the Winter anime updates. Oh well....you peoplez will figure it out somehow teehee.

Date: 10/10/2008

So starting with a new update for this Fall, I will start on recapping on the last few months of anime.

Soul Eater
Currently on episode 27 subbed. Once this anime hit around episode 20, epic battles just starting coming in one after the other and it has gotten extremely interesting. The anime is about half way done. There are going to be 51 episodes for this anime. So my thoughts on this, good anime was a good fill in for bleach and naruto filler and I will still continue to watch it.

Yakushiji Ryoko No Kaiki Jinkenbo
This anime finished, 13 Episodes. A good anime for those who like mysteries and monsters. They sort of left us off at a cliff hanger, a possible second season.

Macross Frontier
This anime is finished, 25 Episodes. An awesome mecha anime, the ending could have gone for a bit longer but still pretty awesome. Good for any mecha lovers. and Robotech fans.

The Daughter of Twenty Faces
Currently on episode 19 subbed. The subbers on this one have slowed down a lot and it really gets to me. This is an awesome anime as well has a brilliant story line about a girl who is looking for a person who is like an idol to her.

Golgo 13
Currently on episode 15 subbed. The subbers on this REALLY REALLY slowed down, raw is on episode 27 and it took them like 2 months to release episode 15. But anyways...Epic anime for those who like assassinations to the highest level.

Code Goose S2
This anime is finally over...25 Episodes. Not really the greatest anime ever...it could have used some more spicing up, all in all the ending was obviously predictable half way through the anime, good anime to waste time on.

Nabari no Ou
Currently on episode 24 subbed. Anime is almost done, storyline is decent, it could have used a lot more action fighting though.

Mahou Tsukai ni Taisetsu na Koto - Natsu no Sora
This anime is finished, 12 Episodes. A well put anime with a good storyline, a really unfortunate ending though >.<

And now...starting with all the new anime.

Gundam 00 S2
First episode released Sunday, everything was more or less predictable, the most epic scene though was the return of the new Lockon, Lyle Dylandy, Neil Dylandy's (Old Lockon) brother.

Hyakko
On the first day of high school at Kamizono Academy, four girls meet each other while lost on the huge campus, and form a friendship. This story follows the daily school life of the four girls and their eclectic classmates.

I probably won't watch this anime, the first episode wasn't that great either.

Hyakko Website

Akane-iro ni Somaru Saka
In order to protect the girl Yuuhi Katagiri, a new transfer student, from danger, Junichi Nagase is forced to kiss her. Not understanding what happend, she screams at him, not knowing that her father has arranged for her to marry him

Probably won't get into this anime as well....

ef - tale of melodies
A sequel to "ef - tale of memories" dunno what it's about never even seen the first season so.....this is out of my hands.

Linebarrels of Iron
An artificial satellite falls to Earth in 2013, seriously injuring Hayase Kouichi. He awakens six months later with strange powers. Three years later, a giant robot called Linebarrel appears and Kouichi joins him to fight for Juda, the largest medical equipment supplier in the world.

From the makers who brought you The Tower of Druaga =D. An interesting mecha anime, first episode was decent, couple good fights but i hate the main character, seems dense to me. But then again gotta give the character time to develop a little.

Ga-Rei-Zero
Freshman Nimura Kensuke has the ability to see ghosts, and his life changes when he meets Kagura, a girl with the power to summon a "Ga-Rei" called Byakuei. The two work together to find evil spirita and devour them with the Ga-Rei.The Japanese Ministry of Defense has an anti-paranormal special forces group called the Supernatural Disaster Prevention Office. They are the ones responsible to protect Japanese soil and its people from supernatural and paranormal events. However, things didn't go so well in one of their missions...

The first episode of this had to be one of the most crazies episodes i have ever seen...cause i can't spoil it for you pplz go watch it!!

Ga-Rei-Zero Website

Kuroshitsuji
One of the noble families of England - Phantomhive, has a butler, Sebastian Michaels. He has unquestionably perfect knowledge, manners, talent with materials. martial arts and much more. But he serves a 12 year old master.

The first episode of this one is....somewhat creepy, going to take a look at the second episode to see how it turns out, doesn't really look that great to watch.

Macademi WAsshoi (The Magician's Academy)
Magician's Academy revolves around Takuto Hasegawa, who attends a magic academy that is not marked on any map. During a summoning spell exam, he accidentally creates a girl named Tanarot, who happends to hold enough magical power to destroy his country, but fortunately Tanarot professes undying loyalty to her "creator."

I'm guessing this is based off of a PS2 game since i saw it up for download, but yeah....first episode was stupid not gonna watch it.

Kyou no Go no Ni (Today in Class 5-2)
Following the line of the precedent OVAs (of the same name) This anime goes around the normal lifes of some elementary school (5th grade, 2nd class room) kids and their adventures, while turning to teens. Their games, stupid jokes, and the misunderstadings around their premature attraction to the opposite sex. Ryota Satou is the main character here, but his friends are almost as important as him since the school wouldn't be the same without them, specialy the girls who the majority of time appear to be mature by their ages but in the ends they are as childish and even more "dangerous" than the boys.

Basically this is purely a comedic anime, seen the OVA was pretty funny. The first few episodes over the TV series looks like it's just gonna recap them.

Today in Class 5-2 Website

Kannagi
An art student named Jin Mikuriya carves a statue from the wood of the Kannagi tree only to have the statue come to life in the form of a goddess, who has now taken over the statue. He and "Nagi" work together to destroy the impurities that are gathering in the town.

This one looks like it's gonna be a comedy as well with some magicz

Kannagi Website

Tales of the Abyss
Luke fon Fabre, the spoiled son of a noble from the kingdom of Kimlasca-Lavaldear, has been confined inside his father's mansion ever since he was kidnapped seven years ago by a rival country, the Malkuth Empire. Now Luke's memory of the life he led before is missing, and a strange voice, which only he can hear, has been calling out to him ever since. One day while training with his mentor, Van Grants, a strange woman called Tear breaks into the mansion with the sole intent of taking Van's life. During the struggle Luke is transported far from home, along with Tear, and now that Luke has finally gained the freedom he's been dreaming of, what awaits him in the outside world will shatter everything he's ever known about himself.

This is based off of an RPG just like how Tower of Druaga was, the first two episodes have already been released subbed, and they look pretty good. Hope those of you who liked Druaga will watch this as well.

Yozakura Quartet
The story revolves around a quartet of teenaged heroes: A super-strong girl named Hime, a mind reader named Ao, a conjurer named Kotoha and an ordinary, powerless boy named Akina. The three girls and Akina protect the city of Sakurashin from supernatural threats.

A decent first episode, shows off all of the main characters' powers and the villain of the anime. Going to see how it goes.

Casshern Sins
After decades since the original anime series, the cybernetic warrior returns in this franchise reboot, Casshern Sins. In a world where the powerful robot leader known as Braiking Boss rule over humanity with an iron fist, a mysterious girl named Luna is summoned by the people for salvation. To retaliate against this potential threat, Braiking sends 3 of his most powerful cyborgs, Casshern, Dio and Reda to dispose of her. Casshern manages to kill Luna, plunging the world into a slow descent of annhilation. Hundreds of years later, humanity is almost extinct. Robots constantly replace their body parts, fearing the corrosion of rust: their only form of death. In this wretched time and place, Casshern returns after a lengthy disappearance since his murder of Luna. Having lost his memory, Casshern now defends the humans from the robots, and find out his true identity and purpose.  Cassern is about a cyborg who rises against the robotic armies that have subjugated all of humanity.

I so did not like the first episode of this, there was something about it that wasn't right. So i won't be watching this one

*PHEW* That was a lot of stuff to type out, a lot of it was copy paste from ANN. Sorry about the missing PVs for Yozakura Quartet and Kannagi, there were no good PVs on youtube. And for some reason the Tales of the Abyss and Kuroshitsuji doesn't seem to be working so I will put the links here.
