A short list of shows I’m interested in from this season.

First off, I’ve intended to follow only IS Infinite Stratos every week, but since a lot of reviews has been giving it quite low ratings (hopefully just for the meanwhile), I’ll just watch it when it’s finished. It’s a pity since it packed full of nice voice actresses.

That leaves me with nothing to follow every week this season, so I’ll watch the shows when they are finished.

So, here’s my list:

• IS Infinite Stratos
• Hourou Musuko
• Fractale
• Freezing
• Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica
• Gosick
• Kimi ni Todoke 2nd Season

And this is the “maybe-list”:

• Kore wa Zombie desu ka?
• Oniichan no Koto
• Beelzebub
• Yumekui Merry

Anyhow, I’m quite excited to see Belldandy animated again. =)

I’m so happy (so happy that I would like to freak out here on my blog, but I’d rather not) and considering it the best christmas present my fate has given me. XD

I pray for a 4-part 30+ minutes OVA.

Another round of Blu-ray Meister Poll is open again.

Vote for a title you want to be released on Blu-ray!

“Hoshi wo ou Kodomo” (星を追う子ども), which translates to “Children who chase the stars” has actually an official english title “Children who Chase Lost Voices from Deep Below” is Shinkai Makoto’s next work is planned to be premiered next year 2011.

I thought he was working on “Sayonara” (さよなら)

Celebrating 8000+ watched episodes, nearly 500 Anime Titles and 300th TV anime completed.

These are the number of titles I’ve already seen per season. Summer 2010 though is still tentative since I’m waiting for the BD/DVDrips but can be considered complete.

The last 4 season were the worst to be honest, I can only think of one title which I followed week after week. I’ve always waited for some titles to have finished airing until I’ve watched it.

That is also the reason why I’ve stalled maintaining my Blu-ray release website: http://bd.mflatischler.com . Need to update it again sometime.

Thank God, it’s going up again with the current Fall 2010 anime season.

It has been a while…

This fall anime season seems to be very promising, as expected of a fall season and I have a lot on my plan-to-watch list where I need more than my two hands to count compared to the previous Fall anime season 2009 where were only 7 titles landed on my completed list.

In which I’m very interested of are, Bakuman. and Ore no Imouto ga konna ni Kawaii wake ga nai.

I marathoned the Bakuman manga just recently upto chapter 103 after watching the first episode, I was simply just hooked in after watching the first episode ( which is also the first chapter of the manga). I was planning to read it but never came to.

Ore no Imouto on the other side, I was keeping track on it since the first novel volume came out and found it very interesting and funny after reading it, but I’m still stuck at volume 02 though until now.

To Aru Majutsu no Index II, Arakawa under the Bridge x Bridge, Motto To Love-Ru: Trouble and Sora no Otoshimono Forte are the obligatory sequels which needed to be seen. In order of importance.

I have read the MM! manga upto volume 03 and the anime seems to be quite fast paced and the characters seems to be a bit different than what I imagined, compared to the manga or the light novel but I will still watch it.

Sore demo Machi wa Mawatteiru is a very funny show and hey it’s SHAFT who is animating it. Omigawa Chiaki is also a fitting seiyuu for Hotori, she voiced Maka Albarn in Soul Eater.

Hyakka Ryouran: Samurai Girls has a very interesting animation style and very creative censorship. I will wait for the BDrips though until I watch it.

Kami nomi zo Shiru Sekai (The World God only Knows) is also on my plan-to-watch list, I’m still at chapter 14 on the manga though and it has been on-hold since then. I guess, I will watch the anime before I catch up with the manga.

Other titles are (in order of interest):

• Shinei Tantei Yakumo 
• Otome Youkai Zakuro
• Star Driver
• Iron Man
• Yosuga no Sora
• Shinryaku Ika Musume
• Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt

I’m interested in nearly of all the OVAs that will be releasing in this season.
I will probably only following Bakuman and Ore no Imouto this season and will wait out for the rest until it has been finished airing.

I’ll satisfy myself in the meanwhile with finishing some unwatched gems from the past anime decade. I’m having a hard time looking for good titles though, If you have some recommendations, then please drop a comment on my myanimelist profile.

I was 3 episodes behind and watched them just now in a row and to my surprise, the arc ended with episode 265.

The arc wasn’t that bad, compared to the previous filler arcs which Bleach had.
It started quite good, the middle part was a little bit boring and the last part had a kind of slice-of-life touch into it. So yeah, all in all, it was quite an enjoyable arc.

I may say, I could have still endured some more episodes of the last part.

Well then, here we go again trying to endure Orihime’s monotonous “Kurosaki-kun.”
I really pity Orihime’s voice actress/seiyuu. <_<;

I’m so absorbed in reading manga the last few months that I’ve just realized a few moments ago that, the new season has already started.

I started it with Major 6th and Ookiku Furikabutte ~Natsu no Taikai-hen~:D
