And as of now, there's no signs at all that Clannad may end up even remotely like the epic trainwreck of 2007, as there may be a wreck, but as of now, there's been no evidence of its possibility, so if it does phail, it will just be like Death Note in that it plummets (I'm not referring to the end, moreso the third arc) instead of "trainwrecks". That's mildly difficult, especially on Animesuki. I probably see their faces in avatars, sigs, etc. probably ten times in ten minutes if I'm reading through threads. |

I'll tell you what, you watch the second season out of obligation and a desire to see a "trainwreck" and I'll watch the second season because I've long since planned to and because I think the story and charaters are very interesting and well written for the type of series they are in. That and I actually have a lot of faith in Sunrise, like many people have in Kyoani for example. They have only done me wrong once (Gundam Seed Destiny) while doing me right many many times. If in the end the plot goes nowhere, so be it, I will be disappointed and move on, but only once it reaches the end will I reach my conclusion, not a minute before. Deal?

My first thoughts on Spring 2008 release...
1. BUS GAMER Another bishounen anime made by Kazuya Minekura. I actually liked Gensomaden Saiyuki but this one seems to short(3 episodes). Maybe I should give it a try. Prediction: May watch it 2. Golgo 13 Although I never watch it movies and OVAs, I think this one will be good even I did not like the character designs(Osamu Tezuka-ish).Old GAR always win. Prediction: MUST watch it! 3. Ikuze Gen-san While still no synopsis available but I'm pretty sure this is a shounen according to its promotional poster. It just looks too cute and kiddy for me. Prediction: May not watch it 4. Kyou Kara Maou! 3rd Season Its a shoujo anime. Yes that was right. This show just for girls. While I don't have anything against this anime but I'm not interested on it either. Prediction: Will never watch it 5. Allison to Lillia A World War 2 anime? However I'm quite interested on it since WW2 is a very rare setting for anime. While I'm not interested on its character designs but I'm sure this one will be good, if I heard someone say so. Prediction: May watch it if I heard something good about it 6. Kanokon A harem/ecchi anime! I knew it. Numbers of episode still unknown possibly more than 20. I hate to make comparison but Rosario + Vampire(another harem/ecchi show) have better character designs than this one. I just wait anyone else will say about this one. Prediction: May not watch it 7. Zettai Karen Children Looks similar to Powerpuff Girls. Three super powered girls possibly fighting “evil”? I think I’ll pass. However, I do kinda like the retro styled artwork… no idea if it’ll be like that for the anime though. Prediction: May not watch it 8. Code Geass Lelouch of the Rebellion R2 The only show that I looked forward to besides Golgo 13 since I already seen the first season. Hope it will not suck since the first season ended with cliffhanger. Prediction: Must watch it! 9. Nabari no Ou While the premise for the story sounds utterly ridiculous, I may keep my eye on this one simply due to the "I'm going to be the king" thingie. Possibly Naruto and Air Gears of 2008. Prediction: May watch it if I heard something good about it 10. Soul Eater Another shounen show. Since I never saw its manga, so I decided let the others judge it for me. Prediction: May watch it if I heard something good about it 11. Vampire Knight Another video game adaptation with supernatural theme after Persona -trinity soul-. I'm not a huge fans of vampire thingies but then I let someone else judge this show for me too. Prediction: May watch it if I heard something good about it 12. Monochrome Factor I really feel that this is a very typical shounen. In addition, I do not really care about shounen as usual, so this is out for me but it just looks so...yaoi. Prediction: May not watch it 13. Uchino 3 Shimai This anime is based on a very popular parenting blog on three sisters? You must be joking. I don't think any fansub groups interested on this show. Prediction: Will never watch it 14. Kamen no Maid Guy Another butler show after Hayate Combat Butler?! Except the guy's not a butler.. but a maid wearing a mask?? This could be a riot or be complete crap. Prediction: May watch it if I heard something good about it 15. Kaiba I don't people going to be interested on this but Mamiko Noto will be there as seiyuu. Prediction: May not watch it 16. Crystal Blaze This show still a mystery to me. I don't any screenshots of it except the picture of a gun and a glass of whisky. Prediction: May watch it if I heard something good about it 17. D.C. II S.S.~Da Capo II Second Season~ I never saw the first season and I'm going to watch the first one either. Prediction: Will never watch it 18. RD Sennou Chousashitsu Sounds like cyber punk. I am steam punk guy, so not my cup-of-tea. Prediction: Will never watch it 19. Himitsu Top Secret Philosophical science fiction but the character designs seem shoujo-ish. Prediction: May not watch it 20. Toshokan Sensou NERD WARNING! Prediction: May watch it if I heard something good about it 21. Wagaya no Oinari-sama Male versions of Spice Wolf? The character designs just too yaoi-ish for my taste. Prediction: May not watch it 22. Nijuu Menzou Musume Aya Hirano + BONES!!! Sound like a good recipe! Prediction: May watch it if I heard something good about it 23. To Love-Ru I don’t live in the Love Hina era anymore. Sorry, no offense. Just no more. Prediction: May not watch it 24. xxxHOLic Ke Not fan of CLAMP and not the fan of the first season either. Prediction: Will never watch it 25. Kure-nai Possibly the weirdest show in this season. I'm not fan of this weird thingie. Prediction: May not watch it 26. S-A ~Special-A~ Another Ouran! But with more female characters and possibly less comedy. Prediction: May watch it if I heard something good about it 27. Junjou Romantica Sorry, I don’t do serious yaoi. Jokes in Genshiken and Ouran are about as far as I go. *looks instead to the Shoujo-ai/Yuri DVD shelves* Prediction: Will never watch it 28. The Tower of Druaga ~the Aegis of URUK~ RPG adapted series? Sorry for my cynicism, but I have never seen a single RPG adapted anime that actually looks good and works well. Prediction: May not watch it 29. Itazura na Kiss Another shoujo...I'm loss for my words... Prediction: May not watch it 30. Neo Angelique Abyss My yaoi-loving friends has been hyped up by the knowledge of such an anime. Me? I do not waste time watching something simply for bishies. Prediction: Will never watch it 31. Kyouran Kazoku Nikki More shits and giggles is always good, but probably not worth watching. Prediction: Will never watch it 32. Amatsuki Not a big fan of Japanese history, not a fan of Gintama either. Prediction: May not watch it 33. Blassreiter I already sick with zombies. Prediction: May not watch it As a shoujo-ai/yuri fan, this season is disappointment. Maybe I should wait to this summer for Fourth Season of Maria-sama ga Miteru and Candy Boy. |

Well, let's see... I'm definately going to watch Haruhi II if that comes out in the spring. I'll also be watching Da Capo II S.S., although it may take until mid-Summer for subs to be fully released for that. I'll also probably be watching Persona for my fansub group, and Kanokon. I also want to watch Penguin Musume, and actually want to sub it, but I need a TL first.
I definately will not be watching Code Geass R2, since my anime club is starting season 1 this semester and will be finishing next. I haven't watched it and only intend to watch it with them.

The problem when you have something that is as popular as Ouran is that anything that is somewhat similar to it is going to get hit with the "It's another Ouran" tag. Like I said in my above post I'm pretty sure the S.A manga predates Ouran (anyone able to confirm that?) so you would think that would be enough to kill that train of thought... but sadly it won't be...

I personally think that Special A has more in common with KareKano. A cool well-to-do guy, a poor girl, a big rivalry between the two with the girl trying to one up the guy, and some romance between the two. And going by the silhouttes of the title, it isn't the reverse harem that Ouran was.
Then again, in the end it won't really matter, as I expect it to be close to neither show. We'll see...

My watchlist are:
- xxxHOLiC Kei - Code Geass R2 Watanuki and Lelouch in same season, hope my brain won't mix them up - Macross F Watched the first episode and it looks neat. - Toshokan Sensō War on freedom of information looks interesting - Alison to Lilia From Kino no Tabi writer and WWII setting, I'm in. Definitely blacklisting Junjō Romantica from watch list. And fanservice shows too. Like usual I'll download most of the first episode raws to see if there's anything interesting. Shugo Chara still ongoing for my mahō shōjo fix, just hope satelight pull it right doing Macross F too.

Even though I may have some sort of “watch list” for this spring season, I end up watching everything that’s luckily available.
The only new show that caught my interest is Allison to Lillia. Reading through some of the summaries floating around, this seems to be the only one that fits perfectly my taste. And the other one I’m pretty sure of following is Code Geass, which didn’t fail to amuse me the first time around. Hopefully, I’m going to discover some hidden gem out there… |
