Hey everybody, been a while, hasn't it? (^^;;) Thanks to watching most (make that pretty much all) things on Nico Nico Douga these days it's been easy to skip watching things a second time and blogging (even though I'd watch things like Potemayo 2 or 3 times every week), but hopefully I can get myself back into the blogging routine this season.. maybe. So, in order of broadcast, the fall shows I'll be watching (screencaps from this movie with information on all the fall shows). ☆ for shows where I've read the manga/novel/played the game that it's based on:
October 1 (Monday)
Da Capo II (feel.)
I don't know much about it since I haven't played or read much about the game, but I'm hoping that it doesn't turn into Da Capo Second Season...
Sketchbook (HAL Film Maker)
Not to be confused with Hidamari Sketch, but it looks to be the same kind of relaxing show.
October 2 (Tuesday)
Mokke (Madhouse)
Looks like a moe anime, actually a youkai show.. is what it seems to be... of course, I'm interested because of character design alone.. if Madhouse can keep the quality up (^^;;)
October 4 (Thursday)
Clannad (Kyoto Animation)
Duh, of course I'm watching this. The OP/ED on the preview DVD were really nice, as expected, but I didn't understand a lot of it since I haven't played the game... And thank you very much TBS for giving us 4:3 pan and scan... guess I'll have to watch it again once it starts on BS-i on the 25th.
Shakugan no Shana II (J.C. Staff)
Uruchaiuruchaiuruchai!. I heard plenty of Shana-tan's voice from Nene@Potemayo, now it's time for the real thing. Though I've read Zero no Tsukaima, I still haven't gotten the Shana novels ＿|￣|○ Hoping that it turns out better than the second season of Zero no Tsukaima.
October 6 (Saturday)
☆ Shugo Chara! (Satelight)
One of the few shows this season where I've read the manga. Amu-chan kawaii yo Amu-chan! (of course, it's always that). Her seiyuu sounds decent for someone I've never heard of. I'm worried about the animation quality after seeing how Kami-chama Karin turned out, though... Satelight, ganbare!
ef - a tale of memories (SHAFT)
Something just a bit different than Zetsbou-sensei for SHAFT this time. The preview looked very, very nice -- can tell they're trying very hard to match Makoto Shinkai's backgrounds from the OP movie for the game. However, as it always is with SHAFT, who knows if they've got their schedule under control. No waiting 'til the last minute to get things done, please (^^;;)
October 7 (Sunday)
Rental Magica (ZEXCS)
Heard that the novels are pretty good... and that's about it.
☆ Minami-ke (Daume)
Kyou no Go no Ni manga-ka Koharu Sakuraba's manga about three sisters with quite different personalities, which leads to all sorts of comic hijinks. Let's not repeat the "cabbage" incident, Daume (^^;;) I like Asreed's character designs better, so I'm looking forward to their one more.
October 10 (Wednesday)
☆ Kodomo no Jikan (Studio Barcelona)
And here's my most anticipated show this season. The OVA was excellent, so I'm expecting the anime to keep the same high level of quality, just like Studio Barcelona did with Nanatsuiro Drops. The script is pretty much finished and faithful to the manga -- the question is whether or not it can be broadcast (^^;;)
