Highschool DxD (definitively on my watchlist) Genre : Ecchi, Romance, Supernatural Plot Summary : Issei Hyōdō, a dim-witted, lecherous second-year high school student, is killed by a girl on when he goes on his first date with his girlfriend Yuma Asano. Her true identity is Leinare, a fallen angel sent by a secret society Grigorie to eliminate dangerous divine weapons.

As an honors student who was also good at sports, the charming girl was popular with her classmates.

Then, in the spring of 1998, a boy named Kōichi Sakakibara transfers to that classroom, and he grows suspicious of the fearful atmosphere in that classroom. In particular, there is a beautiful, aloof girl named Misaki Mei who wears an eyepatch and is always alone drawing pictures.

Am I allowed to say none of them really interest me as of right now? If I knew anything about Rinne no Lagrange I might be able to say that piques my interest, but all I know is that it's sci-fi and I tend to like sci-fi.

That doesn't seem to be the case this winter, that's just Kaioshin's taste. We have BRS, Another, and Nise confirmed for winter along with a lot of other stuff that was announced previously that will probably air in Winter. It's already looking better than the past 3 years.

By the way, I wonder if I'm still the only one that gets a kick out of the fact that Nisemonogatari basically translates as Fake/False/Phony Adventure Story and that everytime everyone says Nise they're essentially saying fake or phony. It definitely gives an amusing flavor when used in primarily English sentences. |

And yeah usually there's big time seller like Bake (might happened again with Nise), Strike Witches, IS etc happened in Summer/Winter because of that, the other title is too weak to complete n the sales for the big hits is even bigger because people don't have too many thing to spend. I'm predicting this winter is only about Nise and one-two other title.

I agree with Xacual that this thread is too early, especially with a lot of titles yet to be revealed. Since this thread is already here, I'll just hook in and briefly mention what I anticipate seeing at the moment: Milky Holmes Saw the first season. This has a lot of potential to be good, in my opinion, especially if they stay true to the insane style of the first season. Nisemonogatari More motor mouths! Black Rock Shooter Could be good. Another Mostly because of the Ito Noizi art style, admittedly. Kore wa Zombie Desu ka Saw the first season. I don't anticipate this one not as much as the other series, but if people like it, I'll try it. |
