Spring 2009 Anime Line Up

You have no idea how much I’m relieved to be writing this post, not to mention the peer pressure (although indirect) I get from the folks from my blogroll (stares at Fuyu, Nazzy, and Sergi) who have already posted regarding the upcoming series this Spring. I think it’s safe to say that I myself am no less than excited.

Winter 2009 season has been long  harsh and cruel, at least when it comes to appeasing my interests. So much of a failure it has been that I had to resort to the good leftovers of the Fall 2008. So yes, THANK HEAVENS FOR SPRING!

Moving right along, I shall only post my picks for the season, that while taking on Nazzy’s advice on non-linking and non-summarizing. I mean, why would I? You might as well look up other sources like ANN and stuff. Oh well, here goes nothing….

Full Metal Alchemist

Reactions: I cannot emphasize how big of a fan I am to this series. To be quite honest, this is one (or probably the only one) of the defining anime series, since it actually had a direct effect on my well being as of now. Anyhow, I’ve heard that this second installment does not deviate much from the first one; the only difference is that it will be following the manga a lot closer. I’m a tiny bit skeptical about a remakes, and I cannot help but think of future dissapontments. But whatever, my decision shall not be faltered.

Watch?/Blog?: Yes/Hell yes!

K-ON

Reactions: Not that much of a synopsis here, though I’m curious to find out what interesting things four girls without any musical talents can do to save their club…ironically, it’s their music club.

Oh shit! Did I hear KyoAni?!

Watch?/Blog?: Yes/First Impressions only

Watch?/Blog?: Yes/ Most likely on a bi-weekly basis.

Valkyria Chronicles

Reactions: The first time I’ve seen the promotional picture, I thought there was some sense of familiarity with it. Turns out that this series came from a game, I’ve seen while window shopping at video game stores some couple of months ago. I am quite excited about this series, since this will by the first time I get to blog anime while actually owning its video game counterpart (yes, I bought the game). I have to say, the game’s very very interesting from all aspects (i.e. character design, the background setting, etc.). So yes, I guess it’s safe to say I have high hopes for this series.

Watch?/Blog?: Yes/Hell yes!

Pandora Hearts

Reactions: Somehow, the words ‘organization’ and ‘blood-stained black rabbit’ from the description caught my attention. Will check it out of curiosity.

Watch?/Blog?: Most likely/No

—–

Phantom (Requiem for the Phantom)

Reactions: Did someone say assassin? It’s about time I get to have some bloodshed and/or anything of that nature since Chaos;Head. The ‘Mafia’ part of the description kind of adds a good ring to it as well.

Watch?/Blog?: Most likely/No

07-Ghost

Reactions: First up, the number ‘7′. Second, moar milatarism, more soldiers, and of course, more guns! Bang bang indeed!

Watch?/Blog?: Most likely/ First Impressions only

Tears to Tiara

Reactions: Another one of those game-derived series. I’ve heard good things about the game, and the characters themselves are quite colorful, both physically and metaphorically speaking. Alright, will put this on my watch list.

Watch?/Blog?: Yes/No

Asura Cryin’

Reactions: Hooray for ghosts! More specifically, hooray for a girly ghost  following a guy! That’s a very interesting thing actually if you ask me. I’m  not quite well informed about this series, but I can already see myself enjoying it.

Watch?/Blog?: Yes/Bi-weekly basis

And that concludes my lineup for the upcoming Spring 2009 season. Of course, keep in mind nothing is certain and that blogging preferences can change without notice due to a lot of factors (fansubbing, schedule conflict, and of course, Real Life Bullshit). Episodic one-liners will be administered when necessary.
