2008 Winter Anime Season

Posted by Otaku Dan

Well, The new Winter anime season schedule has been reviled to the public and to be honest, it looks good but not great.


I really don't see that many new anime that is appealing to me because some of them are not getting my attention.

I will watch:
Queen's Blade - I heard of the games and I have seen the figures, I should give the anime a chance.
Afro Samurai - I like the original series and I hope that when it comes to America, Samuel L. Jackson does the voice for Afro again.
Kurokami - The plot sounds interesting.

What I may pick up:
Asu no Yoichi - The plot sounds interesting.
Chrome Shelled Regios - I don't know why it got my attention
Z Mazinger - I'm a big fan of Go Nagai's work and Mazinger.
Viper's Creed - It reminds me of Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex.

So, what are you going to watch this winter season?

wow..Slayers Evolution =_= I used to watch that when I was like...in grade 4 ? or 5? ish haha...I wonder how it feels to watch it now

I'll probably watch Akikan because it was from Suzuhira Hiro, Queen's Blade, Asu no Yoichi and Shikabane Hime.

Rin said...

Good series coming out...not as much as the fall season sadly...

In this list I am only catching maybe 4 shows, but since this is not the full list and I have not seen fuller summaries or previews I am only going to go by what I see.

Since I watched the first Druaga I will be continuing the second season. Zoku Natsume Yuujinchou is also a must-watch after the first, awesome stuff.

Kemono no Soja Erin is done by the same guy who did Seirei no Moribito, how can I not watch it? It speaks volumes. Finally, Queen's Blade for the fanservice lulz...assuming it has a good plot.

It's out already. Dam!!!!
I haven't started on any from this season but looking for the list, I guess I will be devoting more time on this season than the next as nothing peak my interest.

Samual L Jackson will of course be doing the voice of Afro (also contracted to do the live action movie)and it'll air this January on the Spike channel again.

I look forward to Afro Samurai when that comes out. Also some of the others caught my attention may have a look. Thanks for putting this post up.

Note that Im not a big fan of Slayers, but I would follow Evolution-R just to see Lina again..

Maria-Sama ga Miteru would be another option. Now I think the Gonzo productions might be the best picks for the season..

A lot of these actually look pretty good. I'll search YT for some of 'em.

I was hoping to see the Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya for this season. Oh well.

Nothing catches my eye like a ton of the fall stuff did. But we shall wait and see what people say because I don't know very much about these titles.

Q said...

Haven't got one that gives me immediate attention, and since I lack the luxury of time, I'll just keep with 2 from autummn season and 2 non-weekly series.

Kona said...

I will be catching White Album, depending on how the first episode is, though. For Kurokami, I'll most likely watch it, hehe. Not sure about the others though. Haven't watch Natsume Yuujinchou's first season....;_;

i just finished birdy the mighty decode s1, that was so goood! definately going to watch the s2 :)

marmar04 said...

I already predict Maria Holic being on my top 20 anime list, trap + lesbian + Shaft + Akiyuki Shinbo = FAUKING WIN
Kuro Kami - Manga, or is it manwha?, was crap... but for some reason I'll be following this... the main girl is cute at least.
White Album just cuz.
Akikan... plot sounds kinda weird... may work.
All others I'll think about.
