There are so many awesome new shows coming out (or already airing), it's almost overwhelming for me.:crazed:
Here are a few that I have my eye on.
Gurren Lagann
Basic premise: in a world where humans have been forced to live underground by so many years they’ve already forgotten there used to exist an upperland a young talented yet unmotivated boy named S(h)imon and his best hot-blooded friend named Kamina get involved into a mad adventure after a giant mechanic monster falls on their village opening a hole on the ceiling and before it kills them a hot redhead named Yoko arrives from the surface and saves them using her big guns. Now, it’s directed by THE master of exaggerated violence Hiroyki MOTHERFUC*ING Imaishi, who you may remember on FLCL 5, those amazing Abenobashi mecha-themed episodes and Dead Leaves, the production is way ahead of schedule and there’s already the confirmed participation of animators like You Yoshinari, Sushio, Kou Yoshinari and (Tetsuya Nishio).
Mahou Shojo Lyrical Nahona Strikers
Second sequel to my favorite magical girl show.
Kamichama Karin
By the girl who did that popular super-cute manga that had the recent spin-off Winter Garden yet I don’t remember its name now. About a girl who becomes able to channel Athena’s powers.
IdolM@ster Xenoglossia
Hime-team adaptation of the popular IdolM@ster game, but now the girls pilot mechs!
Kono Aozora Ni Yakusoku Wo
Eroge adaptation. Supposedly with a somber tone and by ArtLand.
Romeo X Juliet
Gonzo does classic Shakespeare… at least in name and concept for the story is completely different. The scenery reminds me strongly of Shoujo Kakumei Utena movie and the trailer looks like campy fun. The main staff is a group of newbies, though.
Ookiku Furikabutte
Baseball anime with actually good designs!
BLUE DRAGON
Game to anime adaptation by Pierrot. Not really expecting much from this one, but I'm a fan of the game so it's here.
CLAYMORE
Good Jump! manga with fantasy setting about Claire, a girl trained to kill demons, gets MadHouse adaptation
Kissdum -ENGAGE planet-
Interesting mecha anime with humanity fighting bizzarre alien live-forms called Hardians.
Gigantic Formula
All star mecha designers in what looks like a G Gundam, robots from all over the world fighting in a tournament to avoid wars, remake with Kamichu’s designs.
Darker than Black
Tensai Okamura’s pet project! Probably a better scripted Read or Die, with super-powered spies in stylish environments, about a black space that appeared in the middle of Tokyo and the organizations that seek to unveil its mysteries. Should be a fun ride and probably much better than Ayakashi Ayashi. Also: Yokko Kanno is doing the soundtrack.
Seirei no Moribito
High budgeted IG epic production, by SAC director with Kenji Kawai as music composer! Everything you need to know is that is about a 30 year old Saya with a halberd that now protects a young important boy in his journey.
To Terra…
Classic dystopia manga gets a new adaptation. Nobuteru Yuuki's designs in dokuro slot. The main premise is the ephitome of science fiction: children are no longer the spring of parents but genetically enginered, this results in the birth of humans with special powers called MU. The only thing going against it, you ask? It’s by an unknown studio that has only done background art.
Victorian Romance Emma 2nd Season
WOOO! SEASON 2!
Bokurano
Really fun Morioh Kitoh manga in Gonzo’s hands. Kids get the control of a gigant machine they must use to protect Earth and take it as a game, yet as the conflict escalates they discover the true nature of their quest. The staff is pretty good, Hiroyuki Morita as director, so I have hopes.
Heroic Age
Tarzan in Space by Fafner staff.
The Skullman
Classic Ishimori anti-hero sentai manga goes anime! By Bones.
Dennou Coil
The plot is set in a future not far from now where "Dennou Megane" (Computer spectacles) have become a commonplace object among children. On one summer's day, the sixth-grader Yasako moves to Ooguro City where her grandmother lives. There, she got to be friends with a set of characteristic people, starting with another transfer student, Isako. How will the adventures of these young boys and girls over the span of one summer, in a mysterious world where computerized space and everyday life curiously mix together, change Yasako and Isako?
So are there any new stuff you guys interested in?
