Whilst trying to play catch up with the spring season shows that I’ve been lagging behind on, little did I realise that the summer season was about to start. In fact it starts tonight. Though most people would probably already know what’s coming out for the Summer season but here’s my list of shows that perk my interests, and may perhaps perk yours as well. All info taken from MOON PHASE and if you want to check out a more detailed preview, check out hashihime’s summer season preview.
Ultraviolet: Code 044
Air Date: 1st July
The main character is a female warrior who has been genetically engineered with high combat skills ordered by the government to hunt down vampires. Animation studio is none other than Madhouse and knowing their record with action and dark themed anime series, this could possibly be the action series for summer. Chances of blogging: Low.
Sekirei
Air Date: 2nd July
A loser college exam failer has a beautiful, yet well-endowed girl drops on him from the sky. She moves in with him as other beautiful fighters who are “sekirei” fighters appear and fight with her. Surely this is just spewing out with fanservice for sure but with a young cast of seiyuu such as Hayami Saori, Marina Inoue, and Endo Aya it looks promising. Not to mention this is directed by the same director as the three Nanoha series. So I’m expecting some pretty decent fight scenes between the fighters as well as explosions. From what I’ve seen of the PV, there’s also plenty of nudity to boot. Chances of blogging: Low.

Little did I realise that the Spring season of anime series was starting this week and I hadn’t even had a look at what was coming up. So checking out the usual list on Moonphase, I was shocked to see the long list of shows that are premiering for the Spring season. A total of 49 anime series according to hashihime, so check out the more extensive coverage there. Anyway since I’m late on the whole preview, I figured it would be easier to list the small list of shows that have perked my interest greatly, instead of the usual list all the shows.

Macross Frontier
Air Date: 3rd April
For a long time I have been a fan of the Macross franchise. So this is definitely a series that I can’t miss and after seeing the first episode that aired late last year, it looks so awesome.

To LOVE-Ru
Air Date: 3rd April
Wasting one of my precious weekends on reading the manga, I ended up loving the whole thing. Though more of an romantic-ecchi-comedy type of series I’d say I’ll be enjoying this moreso than Rosario + Vampire. This is a definite series for me to blog.

With the Fall 2007 season finally over, it’s time to take a look at what the new year, or more specifically what the new season will bring us. Having a look through Moonphase and moetron, this Winter season doesn’t have a lot to offer compared to Fall season. Also not to mention that some series have already started, but I’ll see whether I can catch up on those series or not. Also since the season’s list appears to be very small, my selection of what to blog will also be very small since I already have the continuing series from the Fall season such as Clannad, and Bamboo Blade, and Hayate no Gotoku is still going.

Ah Megami-sama! Tatakau Tsubasa
Air Date: 8th December
This is the third season, well technically it’s an OVA, of the AMG series which I love. Although it has been aired already, I have yet to watch it so I do hope I can get around to watching it.

H20 ~FOOTPRINTS IN The SAND~
Air Date: 3rd January
H20 ROCKS YOUR SOUL! Seriously, when I saw the promo clip on Random Curiosity, I was like WTF. Well this is another visual novel turned anime, but I actually like the original artwork from the game, plus the protagonist this time is a blind guy.

With the Summer 2007 Season coming to an end in a few weeks, it’s time to look at what new series are going to be premiering, with quite a few that I am quite interested in, or have waited for quite a long time. But of course there are also some other series that do perk my interests so I’ll have a look at those as well. As usual, the place to get info on the shows coming up this Autumn can be found at Moonphase. But of course not all of us can read the moon language (well neither can I to an extent), so you can check out hashihime who’s done an pretty thorough job of outlining most of the new shows.
D.C. II ~Da Capo II~
http://www.starchild.co.jp/special/dc2/
Air Date: 1st October.
Now I’m a BIG BIG fan of the Da Capo series, and with Da Capo II being made into an anime, I’m just over the moon. A few recognizable seiyuu’s int he cast such as Horie Yui, Shizuka Itou, and Chihara Minori it’s looking to be quite a treat. Animation is done by feel who also did Otoboku, Da Capo Second Season, and Nagasarete Airantou.

Bamboo Blade
http://www.bambooblade.jp/pc/
Air Date: 1st October.
5 girls in a kendo club. Not much info on the actual website but it looks pretty interesting and we might see some nice kendo fighting scenes so it’ll be on the watch list.

With the Spring season coming to an end in about two weeks time, it’s time again to look at what series will be coming out this Summer (well technically Winter for me). So shows I’m definitely looking forward to watching, but some do perk some interest. Anyway a more comprehensive list can be found on Moon Phase. But for those who can’t read the moon language, check out moetron’s post on the Summer season. Of course this list doesn’t cover all of them, only the ones I’m interested in., either way, onwards!

Tetsuko no Tabi
- http://www.tetsuko.jp/
- Air Date: 24th June.
- The story is about a manga-ka traveling across different stations. Not entuirely sure what to think on this as it seems kind of Densha Otoko-ish, but with less otaku elements. Well I’ll watch a few episodes to see how it turns out.

Nanatsuiro Drops
- http://www.nanatsuiro.com/
- Air Date: 2nd July.
- Based on the h-game with the same name, I will most likely end up watching this. Also the original character designs are by Noizo Ito, same character designer for Suzumiya Haruhi and Shakugan no Shana.
- Chances of blogging: Good

With only a mere 3-4 weeks till the end of the Winter Season, it would be a good time to see what new series will be coming out and what I will be watching/blogging. Thanks to pKjd from moetron for compiling a list of shows to be released, it looks to be slated for 50 new shows, but keep in mind minus the ones that are OVAs, movies, and kiddie shows it’s actually less than that. So onto the list!
Hayate the Combat Butler
Appears that a lot of people are interested in seeing this. All I know is that it has a fighting butler and a loli master, so I’ll give it a go.
Air Date: 1st April
Chances of Blogging: Maybe
Seto no Hanayome
The front page shows a woman with a sword, but the title header has a picture of a mermaid. Right no idea what it’s about but the artstyle looks good and has perked my interest.
Air Date: 1st April

With the end of the Autumn Season approaching in a few weeks, it’s time to look at some potential shows to watch and possibly blog about. At this point I’ve only select a few out of the 37 (according to moetron), but this may change within the first few weeks of the new season. The Autumn Season has taught me many things in relation to anime blogging, ranging from the usual anime episode blogging, to the fiasco of not enough editorials, and even my own figure photography posts that it takes a lot of time to do such things.
Thus with the Winter Season I’m planning on changing my blogging style. Hopefully I can blog more than 2 series this season along side with Kanon still, so this will mean less summary, and possibly less screenshots. One other part is that I may now start resorting to fansubs than raws in some cases, as it is also very time-consuming for me to sit and translate into something that I feel that could be wrong.
Anyway, here is my selection for the upcoming season in no particular order:
Rozen Maiden ~Ouvertüre~
Date: 22nd December
Well it’s another Rozen Maiden series, so why wouldn’t I watch it? With it slated as a 2 episode OVA focusing on Suigintou is enough to get me interested in this. Plus being an OVA means higher level of animation quality.
Hidamari Sketch
Date: 11th January
Art school and lolis must = WIN. From the looks of things, could be a slice of life, which I surely enjoy watching nowadays. From the looks of things there isn’t a male lead, so could this be another ARIA? Well we’ll find out next month.
