This [Japan->bluemist-in-japan] thing is really creating a dramatic shift out of me. These days I find that watching anime seems more like a chore than a charm. See, I had to take note of when it broadcasts on TV, which is more likely than not after midnight. How do otaku manage to watch them so late? Do they have no jobs (NHK?), or do they have video recorders or something? Ah, the hardships of being a casual anime watcher who happens to like otaku-themed anime.
Oh, and as the seasons change, some new targets spring up at Fall 2006. And it feels [all-bishoujo->summer-of-bishoujo] again this season… yay for me (oof so many backlog in there).
Galaxy Angel II – Galaxy Angel was the bishoujo Cowboy Bebop, and I’m so sad that it was over. Hopefully this all-new cast would be as good.
Gift ~Eternal Rainbow~ – This should whet my appetite until the next big D.C. anime comes.
Happiness! – Exactly what I feel.
Love Doll ~Lovely Idol~ – A Princess Soft game conversion.
Kanon – Possibly the best bishoujo game ever made… remade by the ever-l33t Kyoto Animation studio. Take my word for it, this will be beyond [Air->air-tv], beyond [Haruhi->haruhiism-tracker], and beyond any other bishoujo anime that ever existed (my bias on [To Heart->to-heart] is another story).
Otome wa Boku ni Koishiteru – Crossdressing + yuri = the ultimate Strawberry Panic. Instant win.
Tokimeki Memorial ~Only Love~ – I never thought I’d see the day. One of the most popular dating sim series of all time is going to have a proper anime series. Now I can know what all the fuss is about.
Yoake Mae Yori Ruri Iro na – A game from the same makers of [Hanihani->hanihani-operation-sanctuary].
And then in my [wishes come true->anime-wish-list] segment:
Negima!? – Yes! Justice! Give justice to the awesome manga that is Negima!
DEATH NOTE – Ah, the catalyst. The only shounen anime in my list. And boy this is as addictive as crack.
Set your whatjamacallit to record ’em and watch it later.
Better than Haruhi… that remains to be seen…. but if anyone can do it….Kyoani themselves might.
I’d say this: invest in a time-shifting video recorder (DVD recorder?), make sure it’s time-programmable so that it will record all those shows. There’s such a thing as TiVo, heck even in Japan they might have other stuff that does the same job and more.
Enjoy.
October’s full of eroge-conversions…
Not that I’M against it, no siree. 😀
God I hope its not a Ayu ending…
It can’t be strawberry panic if it’s only pseudo yuri…
I hope they don’t try to fix a plot of continuity into Galaxy Angel II, the original’s strength was its complete off the wall randomness. I read the manga and it is major suck…
Negima is wrong no matter how you remake it…
Well, for the benefit of those who haven’t seen the opcoming Kanon promos, here’s the opening and one of the promo clips. 🙂
