Amar No Ecchi: Well well, look what we have here … another RPG turned anime. Personna has been undoubtedly one of the MOST anticipated shows to come out of the new season. My friend Hassan (Death Grin) was raving about it like a school-girl in heat. I myself don’t play a lot of RPG games so wouldn’t know what the fuss is about, but hey … someone’s gotta do this job.

Death Grin: For fans of the video game, this announcement is one hell of a treat. The Persona games have always had a very anime-ish feel to them, and it was only a month ago that I was thinking about the cool idea of a Persona anime. Set a decade after the game, so I'm glad the original game and its characters won't be trampled apon. Overall, this is one series I can't wait to see.

Also we've got the first trailer for this series uploaded, so [CLICK HERE] to download that!

Amar No Ecchi: Need I say more? It’s the same good ol’ pessimistic teacher and the crazy students from season 1. Will those show a larger bottle of awesomesauce? I think so. Definitely one of the most anticipated shows of the season.

Well, with a bit of luck the subs for the first season will be finished right before the start of the second one. The first season really has been an excellent comedy-series that not only managed to crack me up over and over, but also was witty and smart, and tackled a lot of topics considered taboo. While others might hate the typical animation-style of Shinbo, I love it. Actually wait … the subs have finished … GO GET EM !

Death Grin: Ah yes, The Despair will continue next year. I really loved the extreme hilarity of exaggerated actions that Zetsubou Sensei used in it's first seasons. Added to the fact that there was literally NO ONE normal in the entire class. And now, we have another season of the same great stuff, although hoperfully this time they'll have a bigger budget and better animate it.

Amar No Ecchi: This show completely caught me off guard, from the same creators of Kyo No go No Ni. I knew there was something to this show. Comedic gold, awesome slice-of-life series ever since Haruhi Suzumiya I must say. Watch the first season NOW , I believe its still airing.

If you haven’t seen the first season, here’s a basic outline. The show follows the everyday life of 3 sisters of the Minami household, follow there not-so-ordinary lives and hilarity ensues. I mean take everyday female problems + crazy side characters + 3 totally different personalities = comedic genius.

Amar No Ecchi: Nothing surprising here, the awesome-ness of the first season made it shark-bait for a second.
Gunslinger Girl is about a group of young girls who were abducted at a very small age in Italy (oooo exotic I know I know) now they have been kept in a Secret Organization where they have been trained to become professional assassins. Now here’s the cool part, more time they spend training the more inhuman they become.

The girl’s are gone through “conditioning” which is basically wiping out their memories and brainwashing them to become a killing machine, and added the fact that their bodies are re-constructed, yes their like androids. Each girl is given a “keeper” who is their new personal commander/guardian. Both the keepers and the girls embark on missions to haunt down various criminals. The story is pretty good no , its not moe-ish at all.

Basically the Second season will continue where the first left off.

Death Grin: Adapted from the Light Novel by Yūsaku Igurashi. The anime's about a romance between a guy and the most beatiful girl at his school who's an otaku.

There's a big list of famous people working on this thing. Munenori Nawa (D.C.S.S. ~Da Capo Second Season~, Otome wa Boku ni Koishiteru) will direct the scripts edited by Tsuyoshi Tama (episode scriptwriter on Azumanga Daioh, Chobits). Satoshi Ishino (Excel Saga, Puni Puni Poemy) will adapt the original character designs from the novel volumes' illustrator, Shaa (Kyōhaku Dogs). Mamiko Noto (X television series' Kotori, Witchblade anime's Masane) leads the cast in both the drama CD and the anime as Haruka, while Wataru Hatano (Basilisk's Chikuma, Toward the Terra's Sam) will play Yūto.

Personally after seeing all the male otaku problems in Genshiken, I'm pretty curious to see how this goes. That and the big list of reliable people working on this has me seriously interested. It's definitely an interesting scenario too, and I'm definitely going to be following this!

Amar No Ecchi: Actually It’s surprising this show actually looks interesting enough to be in my ‘top priority’ list, but I don’t know … there just something about it that makes me not want to care about it, but ive heard its pretty good. Oh well, I’ve been wrong sometimes about the new seasons’ shows so let’s see.

The only reason this show caught my attention was …. Read this, the list of people behind the show. The director directed Cat Soup, Tokyo Tribe, Stellvia, Shingu and Nadesico and planned and produced other gems as Kino’s journey, Figure 17 and Azumanga Daioh and let’s not forget the hilarious script of Tsukikage Ran. The guy behind the series composition worked on famous series as RahXephon, Angelic Layer, Planetes and Eureka7.

Amar No Ecchi: Based on a shoujo manga by Endou Minari, serialised in Comic Zero-Sum.

A young girl named Rahzel is booted out of her house one day by her father with the instructions to `see the world.` And so her journey begins, However, she won`t be doing it alone ... for she befriends a stoic young man named Alzeido seeking revenge for his father`s murder.
Alzeido and Rahzel are like oil and water ... but even still, they feel strangely drawn to one another. This could be either the result of an underlying attraction -- or their shared powers with magic. And so, the two reluctant allies travel from town to town, using their powers to help the helpless, while discovering their own respective places in the world.

Hey … I’m bored, what can I say ?
