On the one hand, the GAINAX show is by the Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann team. On the other hand, what the fuck, GAINAX?
Everything else looks like crap. Hey, Ironman! Too bad I don't like Ironman. I guess I'll just watch the Shaft show.
So did I miss anything? Last programme I watched was endlesseighaguh
I'll probably end up watching both Shaft shows, but I'm really not sold on the idea of a second season of Arakawa. First season was great, but the second to last episode was a lot weaker than it ought to be, and didn't resolve the main plot thread well at all.
You Are Delicious! sounds adorable enough I might check it out.

I'll probably check out Star Driver (because I like Bones), Panty and Stocking (I like mayhem in my cartoons), The World Only God Knows (I liked the first chapter of the comic and have heard good things), and Bakuman (I love Bakuman). Bakuman better have the funny faces. It will be a failure of an adaptation if the faces are omitted.

Letter Bee's name is in complete opposition to the awesomeness of that little art pic there or the seemingly promising premise, since Letter Bee sounds incredibly wussy...this seems to be a trend.
EDIT: Blargh, never mind, everything sounds horrible to me as usual. I've liked something like ten anime in the past ten years so it's not surprising.

I'm of the opinion that Bones can do no wrong, AND it's a mech show, so I'll keep my eyes open for Star Driver (Though I'll probably wait to see how /m/'s reception to it is before I check it out).
Arakawa was odd, and I have a hard time finishing season 1, let alone starting on season 2.
Panty and Stocking sounds just crazy enough to be what I need, but then again I said that about Arakawa and UGH I just realized that the reason I didn't like Arakawa is because it presented everything like it was normal with practically no energy in it. So long as Panty and Stocking is high-octane bouncing off the wall, I should be entertained.
And I liked the Ironman movies, but know little to nothing about him outside those movies. Probably won't check out the anime unless it's like WTFAWESOME.

Other then Battle Spirits Brave and maybe Star Driver. I'm not seeing anything that catches my interests. So many new anime yet so few of them seem even remotely interesting.
I am going to check out Digimon Season 6 though. Can't believe I let that sneak past me.
EDIT: On second thought, kinda want to see Fortune Asterial: Red Promise, Letter Bee: Reverse, and maybe Sora no Otoshimono.

Have you read the comics in Newtype, Julford? 'Cause P&S+G seems pretty zany from those. Zany with sex jokes.

Bakuman is written by the duo that did Death note, sure it's not a thriller, but they know how to make stuff dramatic. The manga is awesome, I bet the anime will be to.
The World God Only Knows keeps me reading for some reason, so I'll probably check it out.
I'm excited about Index season 2. I don't know why, but I liked the first and I hear the light novels get good.
I'll probably watch the bones one too.
Considering the only thing Im watching right now is Hero Man, this is a good thing.

That's the one where I saw scans of the writer guy explaining to artist guy that it's dumb for girls to get good grades and smart girls just get average marks and look pretty?

I came across Legend of the Legendary Warriors last week which came out about 2 months ago and it is quite fantastic.
Letter Bee seems to be the only thing to catch my interest from that list along with Magical Index of which I will probably look into the first season.

I dont remember that part, but the females in the beginning weren't extremely well developed, but most of them now have their own goals and most(save like one or two) are pretty strong characters.
Now, yeah there are sexists comments at the beginning, specially from Takagi, who is worlds above everyone else academically in the beginning. They were also rather young then. Takagi has grown.
Some of it's culture. Some of it's opinions of the business(theres quite a bit of talk about how females had started getting interested in shounen and how it's changed the industry), heck some of it is your typical manga stereotyping.
Then again, it's not surprising from the death note duo since they commonly have characters with opinions similar. Take Light, who used basically all his female companions and saw them as nothing but pawns.

I don't remember that specific page, but are you sure Takagi (writer guy) wasn't just talking from a "What will sell in Shounen Jump" sense?

It was from a section near the beginning where he was telling Mashiro why Miho was a good catch. Saying that he knew she wasn't dumb, because dumb girls take a ton of notes, but she was attractive because she held back her grades. He also commented that Iwase was really unattractive to him since she was always trying to best him. He also said some more blatantly sexist stuff saying Miho would be happier as she'll make a great wife one day and marriage is a womans happiness. Honestly, it's not the worst I've seen out of a shounen manga as it seems to be a cultural thing with men in Japan.

There's nothing on that list that I'd actively go looking for and watch, but if any of them end up being pretty good and I get recommendations I could see myself watching a couple of them.
I started rewatching the original Digimon series. Not as bad as I feared, but not as good as I remembered. I'm still pretty early on though, so it could change either way.

That had to be a parody moment of how some animes are over obsessive with breast physics.

Thought so. I'll give it till ep 16 to redeem it's self.
As for the power absorb, I wonder if that's the same as the data absorb bit from season 3. Where if a digimon absorbs the remnants of it's prey it grows stronger.
Though this season could be them trying to "reinvent" digimon like they did with 5 (which was one of the best IMO). They may still be competing with pokemon.
But weren't the ones it absorbed still alive? I mean, if that's the case, there's no actual reason it can't absorb their digimon other than cuz they say so.

Yup infact that's the same chick (seako I think was her name) who's tits were dodging a bullet in bullet time.
Yeah she's pretty badass with a sword but.
I might just watch it for the crazy over the top fan service. Just for some good lols.
Shiki continues to be a pretty awesome show. It's a horror/vampire show that is actually a horror/vampire show, instead of pretentious, flowery imagery under the guise of horror... or Twilight.

Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt is the only thing worth watching this season.
Watching the first episode of the Iron Man anime. It seems good, but the whole time I keep wondering if it blatantly contradicts stuff about the comic canon and that sort of thing. Like I'm not Iron Man fan, so I honestly have no idea, but it's just sitting in the back of my mind the whole time I'm watching.

Again, it's by the Utena writer.
At least you can see Bones is back on track. FMA:B got boring really quick, and Heroman was pure garbage.
Just watched Panty and Stocking...
It's a nice looking show with some decent action and music, but nothing else. It's not funny or really that interesting. It's just there, so I just find myself unable to give a damn about it. I don't hate it. I just don't care.
Grimpond
10-04-2010, 01:10 PM
Which one are you looking foward to then?
Iron Man was decent, so I'll probably keep up with that until it stops being decent. I'll probably check out Star Driver and see if that's any good. Other than those two, and You Are Delicious, the only thing I'll probably be watching is Hetalia. Hetalia is fuckin' awesome.
I'm looking forward to The World God Only Knows, because I loved the manga, but all the promo stuff I've seen for it puts heavy emphasis on the harem/shoujo aspect of the story while showing very little of the ridiculous shit that goes down. My fingers are crossed that they haven't changed things too much.

Episode 4 of Panty and Stocking was the best so far. It actually felt like a Western cartoon, if a raunchy one. Episode 3 was cool too, with plenty of visual gags, although crude as always.

In other news, Star Driver is a magical girl show with a boy as the main lead and with giant robots.
I continue to watch Shiki and continue to be impressed with how well it captures the feel of an older vampire flick and translates it into a Japanese setting. I want to say it's like an eighties vampire flick, but I'm not sure I have the time period right. Maybe mid-to-late seventies?
Anywho, the characters are great, the plot is good, and it's really cool seeing what they manage to do with the whole idea. Some events get postponed till later episodes from time to time, given that there are a lot of things going on at once, and an episode will generally only focus on a few of the key players, but on the whole I'd still say it's an excellent watch, and arguably the only "horror" anime that is actually good.
Seriously, watch a couple episodes of this show and you will be hooked.
