Fall 2007 WatchList?
PostPosted: Sun Oct 21, 2007 7:33 pm
Hey all,
Just wondering what your watchlists were for fall 2007? I've been trying to find in-depth reviews, but without much success (AnimeNewsNetwork's Preview Guide was sadly lacking).
EDIT: i.e. Fall Anime Season 2007, particularly series that are starting IN JAPAN this fall rather than series that started earlier and continue into the fall.
The multitude of ren-ai game adaptions is a bit depressing, since I have no interest in that genre. I get the feeling that fall isn't nearly as good as spring was, but then again, 3 of Spring 2007 season made my list of Favorite Anime of All Time (tm), so I guess that doesn't mean much it itself.
Right now, I know I'm definitely watching <b>Shion no Ou</b> because I absolutely loved the little bit of manga I read of it (think Hikaru no Go, except it's about shougi, there are no ghosts, and the main character is a girl who became mute after her parents were killed right before her eyes... yeah. And Paku Romi's role is... amazing in this.). I'm on the fence about <b>Gundam 00</b> simply because I'm not a Gundam fan in the slightest, but I might give it a chance. <b>Kaiji</b> seems interesting to me because gambling and dire situations really excite me, but I have to watch a little more to see how it goes (it's kind of similar to the J-drama Liar Game). I might drop the girls-in-kendo-club anime <b>Bamboo Blade</b>; it's funny, but not wholly original. Also wondering is <b>Rental Magica</b> is worth picking up.
Et vous?
