Anime Lineup: Spring 2009

[Arveene]

Shangri-La- The only series that I'll probably follow as its released. Seemed a bit scatterbrained to start, but solid overall. Have high hopes for this one.

I had the same exact impression. It just jumped to way too many different places at once, I hope the 2nd episode either goes more into who some of these characters are or at least doesn't jump around nearly as much.

hmm just watched russian subs version of queens blade video and audio quality werent bad, subs were clear and easy to read most of the sentences were ok maybe a couple lines coulda been better worded, cant comment to much on TL

Phantom - typical Mashimo, but there were no "HUH?!?"-Moments yet. OP good, ED... it's Ali Project. First Ep. gets 8/15

Bashquash! - Kinda reminded me of a more child-appropriate Tekkonkinkreet, OST is so far quite nice. Satelight already did a good job on Sôsei no Aquarion, especially with the CGI. That's the case here as well. First Ep. gets 13/15

Valkyria Chronicles - Why do they have a tank in their garage? I want one too! Some flaws in animation and character design, but overall solid. First Ep. gets 10/15

Pandora Hearts - Hm. Confusing. Very confusing. That's just the way I like it. My favorite so far. First Ep. gets 14/15

K-ON! - Good. Just good. Now I just have overcome my phobia of insert songs performed by the characters... First Ep. gets 13/15

Now I'll just have to wait for the first episodes of Higashi no Eden, Shinkyoku Soukai Polyphonica Crimson S and Ristorante Paradiso.

[quekmeister]

how's Sengoku Basara?

So long as you know it's not trying to be serious at all, you should have a good time watching it. Feel the testosterone!

[htears]

I am not going to watch shows in April 'cause my entrance exams are starting from 12 April and ending on 18 May. But i have a rough idea what i am going to watch from May 18:

Guin Saga
FMA 2
Eden Of the East
K-ON!
Ristorante Paradiso
Shangri-La
Valkyria Chronicles
Basquash!
Pandora Hearts
07-Ghost
Natsu No Arashi
Cross Game
Phantom Requim
Hatsukoi Gantei
Queens Blade
Hayate 2
Asura Cryin
Hanasekeru Seishounen
Tears to tiara
Tayutama
Polyphonica Crimson S

I'll most probably drop 8-10 shows after watching first 4 episodes but the number may differ.

Now I'll just have to wait for the first episodes of Higashi no Eden, Shinkyoku Soukai Polyphonica Crimson S and Ristorante Paradiso.

Decided on Groups:

K-ON! - Frostii (720p)
Higashi no Eden - Frostii
Ristorante Paradiso - either Frostii or HorribleSubs
Pandora Hearts - either Hatsu-Aasa or Commie
Valkyria Chronicles - twerv&Doremi (Ayako uses ordered chapters, not beneficient for me)
Phantom - Chibi & Formula
Hatsukoi Gentei - either Chihiro-Tsubasa or m.3.3.w. (Not able to compare yet)
Bashquash! - umai (Unless I find another group)

So I've decided on what to watch. I'll pick up Polyphonica and La Corda d'Oro later this year.

Saw the "Eden of the East" trailer by [Frostii].  Now that's a series I'm looking forward to, even if it's a naked man with a gun.

Woohoo! We need more people to watch this!
