Fall 2007 Priorities

    1

  • Sketchbook: full color’s (スケッチブック ~full color`s~)

    +4-koma + seinen manga source. School life with 3 main female characters, one of which is VA’d by Hanazawa Kana (Ryoko in Zegapain, Potemayo in Potemayo). I’m thrilled! AniDB
  • Ghost Hound

    +Could be a mystical/philosophical story. AniDB
    2

  • Juushin Enbu: Hero Tales (獣神演武 - HERO TALES -)

    +Work of Arakawa Hiromu. Adventure + fantasy; I’m thinking this should fill Seirei no Moribito’s spot graciously. AniDB
  • Minami-ke (みなみけ)

    +Slice-of-Life based around the lives of three sisters. Based on seinen manga and could be funny. The characters look intereing to boot. Sisters… Also, Chihara Minori VA. AniDB
    3

  • Shion no Ou (しおんの王)

    +Mysterious plotline, hopefully intellectual. When I say intellectual I mean along the lines of Death Note, but I’m sure it won’t reach that complexity. AniDB
  • Bamboo Blade

    +Seinen based, and the premise is fun. Sensei must find five girls for a kendo competition. Simple, but I’m guessing it will be a comedy. AniDB
    4

  • ef - a tale of memories

    + I clicked through the characters on the Official page, and didn’t go any further once I saw bishi with a patch; consider me in. From the info it seems like this will vibe like School Days, but maybe, hopefully, not with an idiotic main character. AniDB
  • Shugo Chara! (しゅごキャラ!)

    +OMFG shoujo manga, I’m in! Or something like that. Mahou-shoujo, I bet it’ll be cute too, which is nice (I mean there are just so many episodes of CCS). AniDB
  • Rental Magica (レンタルマギカ)

    +The name is so cheesy, I guess it would have to be slight fun. The character designs from the Official Site look nice. Based on light novel. I wouldn’t be afraid to drop this (aka. no strings attached). AniDB
    5

  • Dragonaut - The Resonance (ドラゴノーツ)

    +Chihara Minori VA and seems to be many characters in the plot. It is GONZO, so there is at least a 50% chance of droppage, but I bet hope it will be a bit more interesting than that Pumpkin show that wen’t down last Fall. AniDB
  • KimiKiss Pure Rouge (キミキス pure rouge)

    +Pretty+Light character designs. I’ll dabble. AniDB
    6

  • You’re Under Arrest: Full Throttle (逮捕しちゃうぞ フルスロットル)

    +I really wish I could, but this being a sequal to a 52 episode series and 26 episode series, I don’t think it is likely. Wishlisted for another time. I hope a lot of people are psyched for it though. ^^ AniDB

It’s Fall! Fall brings the second large, and [possibly] great batch of series to the airwaves. I didn’t really keep my priority sights on Summer, but Fall seems a little more eminent with a larger variety (I think).

So to the right is my priorities, top-to-bottom. I cannot forget the lovely Shana, in the sequal to Shakugan no Shana, but that needs no links or likes, I’m going to watch it, that’s a given. It will probably strike the top of the priorities.

On another note, I’m glad to see only a smaller portion of game-conversions this season, and delighted to see more seinen-based adaptations. Much to look forward to!

Right, well I’m not getting much side time for anime viewing, but hopefully I will stick it out with at least half of the series I’ve picked, and slowly hack through the backlog I’ve accumulated thus far. As for blogging current stuff, I’ll do a little when a series strikes me just right.

Cheers to Fall,

Ryan A
