While I was excited writing up about what good stuff has appeared this season I forgot about the crap. I’ll just shove that here for now. Though some of these shows were terrible and made me feel like I had just wasted 20 mins of my life, some were ok. Obviously none were good though.
Week 2 of the new anime season is already here and I still haven’t blogged about episode 1 of all the animes I’m watching! I’m going to try to write about 10 animes in this post so they’re not going to be very detailed. I’ve never really liked writing summaries of each episode anyway. I always felt that in depth summaries are better left to the pros at Random Curiosity.I’ll just keep my posts to impressions and pointing out of lolworthy screenshots.

I think I said I was going to write things up in the order I watched them, but quite frankly I can’t remember what order I watched them in when I had a 15 episode anime marathon so I’ll just do them more or less alphabetically.First up is 07 Ghost. First thing that surprised me about this show is that it is subbed by Dattebayo. I thought that they died or disbanded or something, but it’s been a long time since I’ve watched naruto anime so I haven’t heard anything about them.
Well that’s winter and spring in Japan at least… here it’s the opposite way around. But of course the only seasons that matter to me are anime seasons!!It’s easter holidays for me now, so I spent pretty much the whole weekend having another anime marathon and I’ve managed to finish all winter anime and watch episode 1 of all spring anime that I’m interested in!
Mio <333
The 2009 spring anime season has begun! I started this season with K-ON! and it definitely lives up the the hype it’s been getting. There wasn’t too much happening in the first episode and Yui does remind me of Nagisa/Ushio (because of the KyoAni drawing style probably) but that doesn’t matter because MIO IS PURE WIN <33 Oh and thanks Coalguys for subbing it. lol you really are too coal!!
I only just realised that this anime season is coming to a close, and once again we get another one of these awesome pictures telling us what will be appearing next season. I don’t know who makes them and I forgot where I found it but thanks anywaiz ^^
Shows I will definitely be watching are Full Metal Alchemist, K-On! and Hayate no Gotoku!! I’ll probably just skip throught FMA, like I do with Katekyo Hitman Reborn! because I read the manga, but the colourful version is still rather exciting. K-On! gets on my must-watch list once again just because it’s done by KyoAni and Hayate no Gotoku!! is there just because it’s great. I’ve already seen the Hayate no Gotoku!! OVA and the art is different from last season… Seems like someone decided to change the animators and though it doesn’t look bad, it’s just not the same T__T

Info from Wikipedia
Kweh!
I’ve been pretty bored lately so I thought I would play Final Fantasy Fable: Chocobo’s Dungeon (lol at reference 14 on the wiki page about why chocobo is adorable) on the Wii. The picture is from Chocobo Tales (DS), not Dungeon (Wii), but I already played Chocobo Tales on my DS and it was pretty fun, although there were some slightly annoying minigames. Chocobo’s Dungeon is pretty good as well though it can get a bit repetitive sometimes. I’m also pretty surprised at the depth of the plot, because I really wasn’t expecting any kind of plot at all! Would have some screenshots but I don’t really want to take pictures of my TV.
It's Miku!
Finally got around to watching anime again after working on the site for a day and a half, then taking a nice long nap. I just took a quick look at Rideback and I’m not really sure what it’s supposed to be about. The story is supposedly set in the near future where the world has been taken over by some terrorist group and is orderly because everyone is scared of the guys with the guns. Some random girl (I didn’t even bother paying attention to her name, I think it was Ogata something) who was really good at ballet injured herself and quit because she didn’t feel like doing ballet anymore. She started going to college and stumbled across a strange bike with arms that also can transform into a humanoid kind of shape. She rode it because of some kind of wierd accident and she liked it. Episode one end.
I really don’t know what the show is supposed to be about! The main character woman keeps saying something like “the world is changing”. This and the summary on wikipedia which says more stuff about terrorists and oppression make me think that she’s suddenly going to take her new mecha and start to perform armed interventions around the world. The feel of the show kind of reminds me of Over Drive though, how the main character just finds something they really like, so I’m also under the impression that she might join some kind of bike-with-arms racing contest.
Having just watched Akikan 2, I have a much better impression of the show and I’ll definitely watch it unless it becomes another School Days (which I highly doubt will happen!). The art quality seems to fluctuate between fairly good and a bit strange (especially Najimi’s face) but nothing as terrible as Gurren Lagann’s 4th episode!
The jokes in this show may be rather lame, but they are still entertaining to say the least. The main lead Daichi Kakeru,seems like your average kind of eroge male lead – kind at heart with a bit of pervertedness thrown in for humour. Of course the kind part of him is what hooks all the 2D girls… It’s a pity that formula doesn’t work in real life. I wouldn’t mind having my own harem!
Doesn't look like there is very much good stuff this season...
There doesn’t really seem to be much good anime lately. I remember back when I first started watching anime in primary school I would watch anything no matter how bad it was, but unfortunately I can’t afford that kind of time anymore. I guess even if I did have that much time I wouldn’t be able to stand watching bad anime anymore. I guess you really do acquire a refined taste with experience! I’ll probably only be watching Chrome Shelled Regios, Maria+Holic, Akikan, Sora wo Kakeru Shoujo and Queen’s Blade this season.
Best anime this season?
