So... Spring. Thoughts and ratings.

As usual, I'll be doing some impressions on what I think about the new shows I am watching. Note: biased. XD
Also, its an impression so the shows may end up better or worse. I won't have a clue.
Note I am also watching RAW so I wont get 100% but enough to get the story etcccc

Feel free to add your own preview reviews!

Here goes:

Phantom ~Requiem for the Phantom~: 4/5
Bee Train. Weird Music on par with Kajiura. Assasins. Explosions. Maniac high get.
Yep, they are following in the tradition of MADLAX and NOIR (which I need to watch... TT_TT), and it has all the dark themes and killing. If you enjoy assassins with weird music, please do watch this.
The ED is LOL ALI PROJECT!

Senjou no Valkyria: 4/5
It's like TYTANIA. On LAND. Apparently the art style is very close to the game. I hope they don't do a Birdy S2 on the animation. Also TANK!
Pretty interesting, I am also looking fowards to ~~Lelouch~~ Maxmillian's appearence (the emperor of the Empire)

Hayate no Gotoku!!: 3.5/5
J.C. Staff this season. The new animation style is good in its own way. Sound track is also very good, however, it doesn't feel so Hayate-y with the lack of quickfire, witty lines. Still enjoyable and Wakamoto is as LOL as ever.

They go back onto the manga's track, and it seems to be volume 7. I loved that volume so it should get a pretty good rating from me. Horie Yui <3

K-ON: waiting for WS/5

Saki: 4.5/5
Even though I can't count on Japanese mahjong, I know enough to tell me that Saki is an awesome player, and it gave me a sort of tension simliar to Akagi, but not as much as they are girls.
Extra: the WHOLE CAST for this anime can play mahjong. Also Kyuguu ez lolz in deez.

Mazinger: 2.5/5?
Dreadfully confusing episode, I think they TRIED to sum the old series in 1 ep but I haven't watched it so, yeah, dunno. Will give it another try before deciding.

Higashi no Eden: ROFLMAO/5
NAKED GUY WITH WASHINGTON MONUMENT BEHIND HIM. \o/

Natsu no Arashi: 2/5
Holy crap Shinbo referenced Touhou. That's about all that's good. It's funny sometimes but not as much as the other Shinbo shows, so will probably be dropping this.

Souten Korou: 5/5
OMG. BLOOD. DECAPITON. TONGUE WARS. This show is epic win. OP is HEAVY METAL LOL.
But the in-episode soundtrack is awesomely oriential and the costumes are pretty accurate too. \o/

Happy to contribute~

As a rabid fanboy of the game, I can say I am impressed with the anime so far. Though if the PV is anything to go by, Ayako are gonna frakk up the subs big time~ I was wondering how well the somewhat unique art style from the game would translate into anime, and it has been done admirably. I eagerly anticipate the rest of this series~

You've forgotten Full Metal Alchemist.

Airs today.

Also, I tihnk Funimation is streaming it like on the 7th or something. Can't rem.

So, few more updates, what are YOU watching?

By Pura. 09/04/09, 07:06 am

The only things I want to watch this season are Pandora Hearts and I'm still deciding on FMA, but Rani's downloading that, so I'll ninja from her to save my bandwidth xDD.

Which means I can finish downloading series I started ages ago ... Like Casshern SINS Dx.

By venom. 09/04/09, 07:44 am

Bleh, I'm watching FMA and Hayate atm... Not sure about the other animus yet... I'll dl them when I get a chance to~

By IcyRose. 09/04/09, 10:31 am

I've been watching FMA and Sengoku Basara. Tears to Tiara and Valykria Chronicles are on my to watch list and Souten Kouro is on my must have list (It's an anime about Cao Cao for crying out loud, FINALLY he gets the spotlight in a Ro3K anime)

By KotoneVersus. 09/04/09, 10:32 am

I'm not actually sure what I think of the new FMA...

Souten Korou! \o/

First ep was awesome. A mix between blood and tongue wars. Although I watched RAWs and the tongue wars was in mostly archaic Jap so my head was a little @_@ after

By Basaka. 10/04/09, 01:49 pm

Ok, think I covered all that I am watching.

By Lavi_x. 20/04/09, 01:40 am

So like, why is NOONE watching the awesomeness that is Dragonball Kai?

By Basaka. 20/04/09, 03:36 am
