What i want to watch this ‘Spring’
Posted by WilluknightWell with the WIKI finally up and running, I can finally relax and take a look at what I want to look forward too this approching season.
Air Gear
Seems like a generic shonen sports production, however i will preview it for the sake of it. Who knows, it might be interesting/original enough to keep. /me makes note to check out manga.
Digimon Savers
One of the fist semi decent anime i watched (i dont count pokemon as anywhere near decent) was Digimon. My favorite season was Tamers, however i never really bothered watching Frointer. Recently, when i checked out the first episodes of season 1, i was rather disapointed, with the childish of it
Nethertheless, i will take a look at DS for old times sake - hopefully it will impove the franchise.
Ergo Proxy
Guns and action isn’t my style, but i really enjoyed Samurai Champloo and this is by the same director (?). Hopefully it will be as awesome as SC.
Finalist
This one, i predict will be one of the doinkyist of the season… Should be great fun to mock and curse with glee.
Fullmetal Alchemist PREMIUM COLLECTION
Hubba hubba… please please let this be subtitled…
Hime-sama Goyoujin
With the only info i have on it being :
It’s being billed as the spiritual successor to Rozen Maiden
I’ll definately check it out. It has nice fresh artwork, however i am rather leary of anything with Princess in the title…
Himawari!
From the synopsis it looks like a generic ninja harem type show - however with it’s zany art and actionpacked promo image, i’m hoping for a quality comedy show out of this one.
Ju Oh Sei
Again, not my usual fair, but the summary is intrieging and i’m interested to see where they go with this.
NANA
THIS IS A MUST WATCH. If you have read the manga, you will know how awesome this series is and can only hope it lives up to the manga. If you haven’t read it, what are you waiting for??? READ IT NOW. This is one of the best shoujo manga’s i’ve read - ever.
School Rumble 2nd Semester
My other must watch of the season - s1 was totally awesome, i haven’t laughed that much since Azumanga Dioh and Fumoffu.
Shinigami no Ballad
It looks cute… I dont really like episodic storylines or short (6 episodes?) series, but for this one i will make an exception.
Simoun
AHAHAHA This is another one i’d like to synchro - the setup is freaking hilarious
The story takes place on a planet different from the Earth. They call their planet the Great Air Continent. There, they are born as female. When they become 15 years old, they go to the “spring” and choose their sex to become “adult”.

My own list has a lot in common with doinkies and yours.
On top of it is Aria 2, Nana and Ah Megami-sama 2. Those I’m sure I’ll like at least half decently unless they butcher them horribly.
I’ll check out with great expectations Ergo Proxy, Shinigami no Ballad and Dae Jang Geum - Janggeum`s Dream. Different genres but all with something I think I could be interested in.
I have a few others like Ju oh Sei and School Rumble 2 that I’ll check out but if half of the shows I already anticipate turn out good, I’ll have plenty of good anime to watch this season (unlike now say hehe).

hey sheena
html code is ___ btw ^^
I was going to put aria 2 on my list, but i kind of drifted off watching it by episode 7, so i dont know whether i will take a look at it.
What do you know about Janggeum`s Dream ?? i haven’t been able to find out any info on what it is about ??

Willu: I believe you meant:
html code is <b> btw ^^
Ah, the joys of < and >.

lol damm it it formatted my html tags ^^;;
February 7th, 2006 at 2:33 pm
thanks Will … I keep forgetting which board has what format tags hehe.
As far as Janggeum’s dream, I’m going by a few things read here and there and the overall feel of the official site. Something about it reminds me vaguely of 12 kingdoms (must be the flying white kirin err horse) or some of the art. But I like the setting so I’m interested in seeing how it’ll turn out. Expectations for it are more of a gut feeling than solid info considering what little I’ve found on it.
