Fall Season: Kickin’ ass and takin’ names.

So now that most of the season premieres are out of the way I think I have an idea of what I’m watching on a regular basis. Of course this can change is some unkown series get insanely awesome later, but that doesn’t happen often. Also there seems to be a ton of pretty good shows this season. Maybe quantity can equal quality.
The list is:

Black Lagoon Second Barrage: A strong start with the twincest arc. I expect good things for the rest of the season. Too bad it’s only thirteen ep. than the original 26 I thought.

Death Note: Surprisingly good adaptation. Isn’t boring even though I’ve read death note. I cite strong animation and music for the reason. Hopefully it can keep me interested for 26+ episodes, especially after the time change.

Kanon: Do I really need to say anything? Kyoani’s treatment has completely blown me away with it’s attention to detail and movement. It has only heightened my love of Makato Fang-chan even more.

Negima!?: A show that wasn’t on my radar at all until I realized that the great director Shinbo was at the helm. Once again his usual stylistic flourish is completely awesome. Also I’m quite liking all the cute girls in negima. Maybe I’ll pick up the manga soon.

Pumpkin Scissors: Ignore the goofy name for this so far excellent post-war drama. The setting is set-up perfectly and our main characters are very likable. Alice is like a more insane Saber and Oland’s berserker mode is chilling to watch. A good gonzo show.

Tokimeki Memorial ~Only Love~: A charmingly off-beat and surreal dating sim comedy. Hard to say where this one we’ll go when we’ve already had nekomimi and karate chicks in the first ep. Hopefully the romance parts we’ll be just as good as the comedy. I gotta get around to watching the second ep. I have lying around.

Code Geass Lelouch of the Rebellion: Only seen the first ep. so far but it seems very promising. Lelouch reminds me of Light a lot, and it’s always fun watching insane people. I haven’t watched a realistic mecha series in awhile and the designs seem good enough. Now I just need more subs.

Asatte no Houkou: Slowing down a bit with this supernatural slice of life show. I like the characters so far, but I could see this gettin’ old soon if something more doesn’t happen. Hopefully we’ll get a bit more melodrama once the girl’s secret is out. Also old Karada is insanely hot. Good enough reason to watch right there I guess.

Bartender: Classy drinking anime. Too me it did live up to the hype by just having an insanely cool bartender. The mixing of animation, cg, and live-action is also a unique touch. Hopefully there will be more subs soon.

Happiness: Jun is plenty enough reason to watch this show. Although the other girls are interesting also. I’ll keep up with it, but it’s not exactly at the top of the list.

Lovdoll~Lovely Idol~: Watching purely out because of that ” I sing for revenge ” line in the first episode and my belief that there may be a good story in there somewhere. Right now I’m probably just lieing to myself though.

Mamoru-kun ni Megami no Shukufuku wo: The megadere pays off for another quirky love-comedy show. Watching this just for how awesome the lead tsundere is. Hopefully there’s enough story for the 24 ep. it runs.

Hataraki Man: I have to admit I loved the whole first ep. I loved the fast pace of everything and the wacky Hataraki man transformation. I kept thinking of ” Trace On ” during the transformation. The animation is great and all the characters look wonderful, especially Mutakata-san. Another excellent show to watch.

Dropped both Otoboku and Yoake crescent love. I really don’t need anymore eroge anime and these just weren’t clicking with me. Though I hear Yoake has mad QUALITY Also still following ARIA the Natural and Akagi from so many seasons back. I think I’m watching more this season than the rest of the year combined. Good thing I don’t blog episode by episode or I’d be in a lot of pain, course than again I kind of am now.
