The quick spring 2009 anime post.

27 04 2009

I’ll make it quick this time round.

Series I’m watching :

07 Ghost, Asura Cryin, Eden of the East, Fullmetal Alchemist (sorta), K-on, Pandora Hearts, Phantom, Queen’s Blade, Saki, Shangri-la, Tayutama (aka Kiss on my Deity), Tears to Tiara, Hatsukoi Limited, Polyphonica Crimson S, Senkoku Basara, Senjou no Valkyria.

Yeah I’ve basically covered most of the new series out there.

Details:

07 Ghost: Bishonen everywhere. BL? Yaoi? you bet. I’m not sure why I’m watching this anyways.

Asura Cryin: Robot (sorta) genre with weird characters.

Eden of the East: Original story about a boy and a girl and a wierd mobile phone.

FMA: Re-adaptation of the manga. (since the 1st FMA TV series left on it’s own storyline somewhere down the line) I just watch a few seconds of each episode just to know where the story is at.

K-on: 4 girls, slice of life, band and music, kyoAni. Nuff’said.

Pandora Hearts: Guy is decendent of rich family, on his becoming an adult he gets pulled into the abyss and makes a contract with a demon there. TBH I have no idea what the story is about still.

Phantom: Two normal people who gets their past wiped from memory and turned into killers.

Queen’s Blade: If you need an excuse to watch perverted anime but not the real hentai stuff here’ your chance.

Saki: An anime about Mahjong. Think Captain Tsubasa/Prince of Tennis except it’s Mahjong.

Shangri-la: Apparently this is for loli-cons since… all the non-loli female characters are… monsters.

Tayutama: er… originated from some gal-game, pretty generic.

TTT: gal-game turned into a PS3 game. The PS3 character designs are much better. I’d go play the game.

Hatsukoi Limited: Talks about a bunch of high-school girls and them and their first love.

Polyphonica: This is apparently the 2nd try at an anime adaptation of this light novel series. Apparently the first try was a failure. 2nd try seems pretty bland to me.

Senkoku Basara: Hot blooded men (and women… well not really) in a war-torn japan. It’s actually pretty entertaining, in contrast to what I first expected anyways.

Senjou no Valkyria: WW2 like setting, a girl volunteers to join the armed forces and her struggle against the evil empire that is trying to invade her country. Adapted from the PS3 game.

Must Watches:

K-on, Eden of the East, FMA (If you haven’t seen the manga/first anime)
