A whole new season of Anime madness!

There are too many titles to choose from, and I'm sure everyone has the same problem....
(Except M....who downloads every damn anime on the net >.>)

Some new titles are:
Blassreiter
The Tower of Druaga: The Aegis of Uruk
Line Barrel
Kamen no Maid Guy
Monochrome Factor
Natsume Yujin-Chou
Soul Eater
Special A
ToLOVERU
Vampire Knight
Itazura na Kiss
Bus Gamer

And many more!

Some returning titles includes:
Ikki Tousen: Great Guardians
Code Geass R2

Anyway here is a few I Recommend:

Blassreiter - A really cool stylized CG fighting anime which appeals to me. I suggest you watcha trailer before watching.

Itazura na Kiss - Really nice love story, I read the manga which was first published in 1991, I'm amazed it's actually now an anime after sooo long.

Soul Eater - well Bleach + Zombie Loan = Soul Eater, this anime is also made by the same people who made Zombie Loan, so i guess it's worth watching.

I want to hear your recommendations for the anime this spring! Anything you watch from the 1st ep and their appeal.

note:
Plx don't close this thread, it's is more specific than the "Anime Recommendation" thread,
although close it when it is mid season instead. Thx...i hope ._."

Blassreiter
The Tower of Druaga: The Aegis of Uruk

Will be subbed by GONZO, and released for fans.
Watch them in youtube, Crunchyroll or BOST TV.

Please support GONZO and their movement by buying the DVD's, MANY people will be.

I doubt any group will pick this up, thats why, because of this movement.

Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann the Movie

btw... I've heard that there was a new air gear that came out or aired recently anybody know anything? Also... in the future... I heard that a Eureka Seven movie will be announced in May edition of Newtype!

Yeah, it's pretty cool how GONZO is doing that. It makes sense, really. Anime are supposed to be shown on TV. We don't get much tv anime out of Japan. I doubt OVAs sell better than normal series. I'm glad GONZO picked up on that. =D

I'm going to like (love) CG2 and the Gurren Lagann movie. :3

After watching episode 1, and giving 2 a chance, I don't recommend Special A.
The jokes gets old... (yeah used same jokes as episode 1...)
And from what I'm seeing, I doubt there will be any character development at all.
The "Pro Wrestling" theme just ruins it... It's nothing like it at all....to me it's just lame... Dropped watching it >.>......

Picking up ToLoveRU instead....hopefully it's better =]

Currentlly STILL Recommending:
Itazura na KISS <-- Love Comedy =D
BLASSREITER <-- not for kids
Soul Eater <-- ...Tenshi Dokoro-chan anyone?

Just as predicted, the ones I thought were good were good =]
except special A....=(

*Edit*

ToLoveRU is interesting. NOT for kids. Alot of "fan service" type anime, similar to Ninomiya Kun.

April 16th, 2008, 05:21 pm
Quite frankly, To Love Ru is very... how do you say? Urusei Yatsura like. Add in a mad scientist woman and some nicer graphics and they seem the same to me.

Wagaya no Oinari-sama seems interesting, but I can't really recommend it until I see more of the anime.

April 19th, 2008, 11:19 pm
yeah. currently loving Code Geass R2. I laughed when I heard about the leak for ep. 3 last tuesday. Rollo seems like an interesting character his geass is the ability to stop time!

Kanokon (not for little kids) is pretty entertaining
Nabari no Ou reminded me too much of Naruto but I might come back later (it's a lot better than Naruto though)
Interested in Kamen no Maid guy.
Allison to Lillia seems interesting but I've only seen the first ep.


Most of the new animes that I have seen are pretty dissapointing however.
Can't wait for Rebuild of Eva 1 (Japanese vers. on disk sometime this week!) and 2 Go eva 6!!!!! from the moon!!!! Apparantley there will also be a new character (possibly pilot of eva 6???)

Watched the first episode of 'The Tower of Druaga: The Aegis of Uruk'; from what i saw i wouldn't recommend it. Very predictable plot and the story telling is so generalised, no real chance for any character depth or development. Looks more like a game then an anime, might be trying to copy .Hack//Sign in that respect.

Now Soul Eater is a must watch for this year, don't just presume it's a copy of bleach. Reminds me a bit of Tim Burton's Nightmare before christmas but that might be because of the pumpkins. Either way there are some serious fight scenes and the characters are great, though not to be tqken too seriously, lot of scope to them, can see this series having a good few seasons to it.

first of all, did you watch the entire first ep. of Tower of druaga?

second, I agree with you about soul eater. (then again, I've only seen the first ep)
I also highly recommend watching the new Evangelion movie You Are [Not] Alone. It's pretty awesome and I thought that they did a good job with the graphics. Can't wait for the second one.

Started watching Macross Frontier, it's pretty good. You don't have to have watched any of the old series (I havn't), but apparently, there are alot of references to them if you have watched them. Something that has impressed me is the quality of the music, it's very nice. And I'm not talking about the idol songs either, though they are very nice as well.

BTW, menclave are also doing Macross, and quite a fine job they're doing as well. Also, Ocha! (http://ocha.nierchi.net/) are speedsubbing Toshokan Sensou as well. MyAnimeList (http://myanimelist.net/) has a nice rundown of who subs what.

Edit: LOL, looks like AniDB have a nice rundown of fabsub groups too =P

Bah, anyone watched Strike Witches or whatever you call it? It intrigued me because 100% of the reviews I've come across have been negative (I mean c'mon, you'd even find a few people who enjoyed the 100 or so filler episodes in Naruto). Anyways, I went to check out how bad the series, downloaded an episode, watched the opening, and deleted it ...

It lived up to my expectations =)

Wow, I'm watching fall's anime list, and it's looking hilarious...
Some that stood out to me:

Stitch - Yes, from LILO AND STITCH... People are still wondering if this is some kind of joke... The promotional art looked almost identical to Disney's in my opinion.

Toradora! - Can you get a better voice cast? And also, it's another JC staff production featuring a tsundere loli lead. Sound familiar?

Bihada Ichizoku - A show about cosmetics apparently...

I'll probably be checking them out to see how odd they are.

And not to mention 2 that EVERYONE must watch =)

Now that is a lot of brass air fittings http://www.liangdianup.com/subpages/airfitting_1.htm there is just about every type
of air fitting that you could want. Wholesale prices too. I guess these could be used as small water pipe fitting also. I
used some of the parts to make my babington wvo burner.
