The series is about a powerful girl who one day gets kicked out by her father because he wants her to go on an adventure and see the world. Hatenkou Yuugi (known by the name Dazzle in English for those of you who might be following the Tokyopop releases) takes place in a world with magic. As it stands though, I probably won’t have time to follow this.Īirtime in Japan (JST, GMT+9): Fridays at 26:30Īirtime in U.S. PV aside, I think the show has a lot of potential, and if I weren’t already watching Clannad and Shana II on Thursdays, I’d make room for this.
As for the series itself, H2O is about a (blind) boy who loses his mother and ends up moving to her hometown to recuperate. I don’t know why they decided to have the trailer in English, but it certainly made my day. I was laughing for a good five straight minutes when the narrator suddenly started spouting random phrases designed to make the series sound exciting. “H2O Rocks Your Soul!” As I mentioned in my earlier post, if I could give out an award for the most unintentionally funny promotion video ever, this series would get it. The anime adaptation, which is being produced by GONZO, runs the same risk, and to complicate things, even if I really wanted to watch this, it’s airing on Thursdays, and I’m very happy with the current Clannad & Shana II lineup.Īirtime in Japan (JST, GMT+9): Thursdays at 25:30Īirtime in U.S. Having read a good deal of the manga, the main problem I have with it is that the beginning is very formulaic monster-of-the-week (new monster, main character finds himself in trouble, girl saves the day with her vampire form), and it takes a fairly long while for all the characters to get introduced and the plot to really get going. Add some more monster girls, a lot of fanservice and fighting, and you get Rosario to Vampire. The hapless main character is a human who accidentally starts attending a school for monsters, and he quickly makes friends with a beautiful girl who turns out to be a vampire. (EST, GMT-5): Thursdays at 10:30Īs the name suggests, this series has vampires (and a rosario!). However, I never personally got a chance to watch the entire first series (saw the first episode and then heard some mixed reviews about the rest of it), so odds are low that I’ll watch the second one.Īirtime in Japan (JST, GMT+9): Thursdays at 23:30Īirtime in U.S. The entire cast and crew is back, so if you enjoyed the first series, you’ll probably enjoy this one too. Since the first one wrapped up without much about the guy who killed Rita’s parents, that’s apparently what the new one will focus on. Information Links: ANN Encyclopedia, AnimeNfo, AniDB, syoboiĪfter a half-year break, Sisters of Wellber has returned with a new season. For instance, Friday morning at 1:30AM would become Thursday at 25:30 to show that the episode aired late Thursday night.Īirtime in Japan (JST, GMT+9): Tuesdays at 26:30Īirtime in U.S. Technical Note: All times are given in a 24-hour, relative-day format where times are extended to show which day they belong to. Check out MOON PHASE for an entire listing, syoboi’s calendar for specific air-times, and Fansub Wiki’s Winter 2008 page for who’s tentatively subbing what.
However, even if I list the chances for a show as good or guaranteed, it doesn’t necessarily mean I’ll stick with it for more than a few episodes.īy no means does this list reflect every single anime series that is going to be aired, though I did try to be as comprehensive as I could. As usual, I’ll watch the first episode of most shows within certain parameters (in other words, not the kiddie shows), and what I list here are the chances of me actually blogging something based on my initial impressions from promotional material. Another year has come and gone, which means that it’s time for a new season to begin! Unlike Fall, which had a ton of shows, this upcoming Winter season is relatively light on new titles, though hopefully not on quality titles.
