Spring 2009 - What's new and worth checking out

[TerraRose]

[Kalium: Link redacted.]

I saw the Basquash thread, and it's a little early to go mad on the new shows that haven't aired, so why not start a general discussion of what's coming and what's on people's "gotta check this out" list for the new season?

I'm the kind that is willing to give most episode ones a shot, but some of the shows that have caught my eye personally are:

Sequels
Kiniro no Corda ~second passo~
Hayate no Gotoku
Dragonball Kai - Just to see what they're doing bringing out Dragonball again.
FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST - Same as above

New
Phantom - Requiem for the Phantom - It looks like the kind of show that'll be kickass and bend your mind. Always fun to follow one or two each season :3

Guin Saga - The fact that it has an english language version of the site that I can actually read about the background of it makes me interested. An anime based on an international novel series? I want to know what they do with it and I hope it's well done because I'd LOVE to see lots of anime to my own favorite novel series.

07-Ghost - I like pretty boys, I admit it, but I also have a nagging question... Why are his eyes Red in the splash image and Green in the promo? I WANT TO KNOW.

Most of the other shows seem to look pretty generic and straightforward, not that I won't watch and like them, but they don't seem to impressive to me at a glance. But that's where discussion comes in, cuz I can't read japanese and maybe other people know things I don't.

K-ON!

Other than that, I can see the new FMA being pretty popular, but personally the shows that have caught my attention would be Saki and perhaps Natsu no Arashi. Oh and did I mention K-ON!? YEAAAAHHHHHH!

Kiniro no Corda ~second passo~

FINALLY!

K-ON!

Other than that, I can see the new FMA being pretty popular, but personally the shows that have caught my attention would be Saki and perhaps Natsu no Arashi. Oh and did I mention K-ON!? YEAAAAHHHHHH!

*looks into them*
K-ON looks like a show about... an all girl band? Is there a manga about it? Any particular reason why you're so emphatic about or are you just extremely enthusiastic about music-oriented anime?

Saki looks like a school anime... all girls...? Are they playing Mahjong? The flavor of the splash page seems to imply it being a silly show with silly mindbending tensions...

Natsu no Arashi looks very oldschool with modern CG. Do you know anything about it besides a flying girl with a geek?

[Ishbalan]

Eden of the East is by Kenji Kamiyama, so I'm gonna watch that.

FMA is a given.

I'll watch Saki just because it looks like Akagi's polar opposite. Akagi is considered one of the most manly animes of all time because throughout the entire series, there isn't a single woman, not even in the background.
Saki is all girls.

Im still debating about watching Hayate no Gotoku 2. I watched the first season and laughed hard every 8 or so episodes. The rest was just drivel, and the new OVA just released gave me a massive headache.
Then again, I will probably watch it simply because Norio Wakamoto is the narrator.

Pas tends to have good taste, so I'll check out K-ON. Girls with guitars sounds awesome already.

[ScorpionP]

I will definitely check out the following shows:
Sengoku Basara - Production I.G. probably won't dissappoint
Queen`s Blade - hoping for lots of nudity
K-ON! - sounds interesting
Basquash! - like the idea
FMA - for obvious reasons
Tears to Tiara - game was great, so I'm hoping this gets a good anime, just like Utaw

Shows that also caught my interest but I know nothing about them so I'll be waiting for 1st eps before I decide wether I'll watch them or not:
Asura Cryin`
Pandora Hearts
Shinkyoku Soukai Polyphonica Crimson S
Guin Saga
Senjou no Valkyria
Saki
Natsu no Arashi!
Tayutama
Hatsukoi Limited

[Ishbalan]

[Flame-X]

I'm gonna be watching...

Full Metal Alchemist
Tears to Tiara
Queen's Blade
Hayate The Combat Butler 2
Sengoku Basara
Valkyria Chronicles

[hasteroth]

I will be watching:

Full Metal Alchemist
K-ON
Valkyria Chronicles
Tears to tiara
Spice and Wolf 2
Hayate 2
To Heart 2
To LOVE-Ru
Queen's Blade

Will check out 1st ep before deciding:
Pandora Hearts
Asura Cryin'
Shangri-La
Saki
Tayutama
Hatsukoi Gentei
Eden of the East

If I hear enough hype about the other ones or if anybody should reccomend them, I'll probably check out some others. In fact I might check them out on my own if the catch my attention later on.
Natsu no Arashi
