Comments
Bluesnow – From information I’ve read about it I think it might be horror? And having animation done with the help of Death Note artist should be interesting. I’ll watch at least the first episode.
Guuzen -  There isn’t much news of this anime adaptation anywhere O.o I had trouble finding info on it as well. I’m going to have to pass until I see some good reviews for it.
M – Looks very much boring. The anime is essentially an adaptation of 4 famous japanese literary works. Yeah, enough said. I’ll pass.
Zenical – Doesn’t look interesting at all. Don’t think this anime caught your eye. Yes? =/

Genre: Action, Supernatural
Official Website: http://www.starchild.co.jp/special/asura/index.html
Seiyuu: Miyu Irino, Ai Nonaka, Aki Toyosaki, Eri Kitamura

Summary
Tomo was a school kid with just one problem: he had a ghost friend for a while. One day, his life is turned upside down as his world changes into a new one, one which he couldn’t imagine before.

Comments
Bluesnow – I’ve never even heard of the first season. M seems very enthusiastic about it though; so maybe I should hurry and watch season one to see this as well xD
Guuzen – Didn’t watch the first season as well. Maybe I will pick it up after I’m done with Tears To Tiara.
M – Asura Cryin’ S1 was superb. Season 1 was kinda like an introduction chapter to the series, introducing us and Natsume Tomoharu(the lead) into the world of Asura Cryin’s and Demons and all. At first, I was confused at the overall concept and all the specialised terms, much like how Shakugan no Shana confused me initially with the Mystes, the Torch and all. However, as I continued watching the series, I grew to love it as much as I liked SnS. Will definitley be watching Season 2 to see how they Tomoharu uses his Kurogane(that black mecha in the picture) to fight against the enemy.
Zenical – I didn’twatch the first season. Looks like only M caught it, among the 4 of us. LOL. I am intending to catch it after I’m done with most of my Summer anime shows. I love the OP of S1 if anyone must know =D

Meanwhile, Hell’s Gate remains standing in Tokyo, after Hei’s efforts to stop the Saturn Ring anti-Gate particle weapon from activating. Although Contractors are safe from the danger of having their existences erased, this does not prevent new and old Contractors from abusing their powers. As Misaki Kirihara and her team in the Public Security Bureau deal with the increasing Contractor cases, she also has to keep the Syndicate at bay, who has major positions in the Japanese police and intelligence bureaus around the world.

Comments
Bluesnow – I watched the first two episodes of Darker than Black, and I didn’t really enjoy it very much. Won’t be watching this.
Guuzen – I’m definitely watching this. I quite enjoyed the first season so I want to see how season 2 will be like.
M – Having caught Season 1 of DTB after a recommendation from a friend, I never regretted watching it. Will watch Season 2 to continue on. I am still a little confused about Season 1’s plot though, so I’ll probably be re-watching Season 1 sometime soon
Zenical – Didn’t catch Season 1 at all. I will pick it up soon, because of one particular seiyuu. I have to finish up my other backlogged shows first ><

Comments
Bluesnow – I will probably watch the first few episode; but probably like soul eater, around 5-10 episodes and I will get preoccupied with better stuff and forget about it. Really the only reason I stuck to Soul eater so much was because I loved the opening, or I would have dropped it sooner.
Guuzen – Not really into these kind of anime. I may watch the first episode to see how it is like.
M – I will WATCH THIS!!! Haha. I started the manga around 3 months back due to a lack of homework and because the Bleach manga was boring the hell out of me. While it took me a while to get used to Natsu’s ‘in-your-face’ character type, I soon grew to love the entire main Fairy Tail crew which consisted of Natsu, Happy, Gray, Lucy and Erza. Will be watching this for the show and for Aya-sama. :D She voices Lucy.
Zenical – I will want to watch this as I want to see whats the hype about Fairy Tail. Anyway hopefully the episodes for this show won’t be as long as One Piece =/

Summary
Senou Natsuru is your normal, everyday high school student. However he´s been chosen to be a Kampfer, who’s objective consists on fighting other Kampfer with either guns, swords or magic, however, there´s catch; first you can’t choose if you´re a Kampfer or not, and second, you must have the body of a girl to use your powers.

Comments
Bluesnow – Did I hear traps xD? I might have to try this one out a bit.
Guuzen – Oh boy looking at the seiyuus, I know who is definitely gonna watch this one XD. Hmm… Will give it a try, but I won’t be following it closely.
M – This show sounds like a trap. Guys who are Kampfers have to be girls!? I’m all for the guns, swords and magic but gender transformation? A little unappealing.
Zenical – YES I’M GOING TO WATCH THIS BECAUSE THERE’S NANA, YUKARIN, MARINA INOUE AND HOCCHAN!!!!!!! ALL MY LOVES XD

Seiyuu: Aya Hirano, Mamiko Noto, Daisuke Namikawa

Summary
This story is centered around a girl named Kuronuma Sawako who is nicknamed Sadako (ghost girl from “The Ring”) by her classmates because of her scary face and demeanor. She greatly admires Kazehaya-kun from afar, he is “100% refreshing” and is able to draw in people with his personality. Unlike her facial expressions she yearns to make friends and live as a normal student. Gradually she starts to affect those around her, including Kazehaya-kun…

Comments
Bluesnow – I haven’t found any decent romance comedies since last year; so I will try this and hope it saves me.
Guuzen – Romance and school life? Count me in! Though I gotta be careful since there is Sadako relations… Not really a big fan of horror O.o.
M – As much as I’m trying to watch Romance animes, I think Ill give this a pass. The art looks crappy in my opinion and the description of the Anime is very much unappealing to me. Don’t think I’ll give it a chance, despite Aya-sama being in it.
Zenical – Stalker!! The girl looks like a ghost. Like seriously. I think I’ll catch the first few episodes to see how it goes. You never know, I might end up loving this anime.

However, she must not fall in love with a particular boy she works with and whose heart she must heal.

Comments
Bluesnow -I haven’t seen any Clamp series for quite some time now, so this may be worth watching ^.^
Guuzen – I wonder if there will be any past Clamp characters making their appearance here. I want Mokona! =D I have to agree with M that the anime does sound weird… But I’m still gonna give it a go.
M – The Anime sounds weird to begin with. Fill a mysterious bottle with people’s suffering. Sounds similar to what Ippatsu! Juuden-Chan is doing now to me. Will probably catch 2 episodes in light of it’s comedy genre. If it’s catchy, I’ll continue on
Zenical – No fave seiyuu for me, no watch. Somehow the only CLAMP anime series I ever caught is Cardcaptor Sakura. LOL.

Guuzen – The art style is really really weird to me, and really really not my kind… I won’t be watching this…
M – The art looks weird. Won’t even start due to the huge list of Anime(s) I’ll be watching.
Zenical – Sounds boring, and the art is just mehh.

Another version of Miracle Train: Chuo-sen e Youkoso.

The first version of the Miracle Train project focused on the stations of the central Chuo line, while the new anime and related stories deal with the Oedo subway line. As a result, the anime will feature a newer cast of characters — specifically, Fumi Roppongi, Rintarou Shinjuku, Izayoi Tsukishima, Iku Shiodome, Saki Tochou, and Itsumi Ryougoku.

Comments
Bluesnow – Lots of smexy guys o____o~ Not to keen on the character animation, And I can’t help but feel this has ripped off other smexy series… but due to lack of smexy anime this season I suppose I will catch it. (Zen, you know me so well xD)
Guuzen – Don’t think I will be watching this. The whole thing looks kind of weird to me O.o.
M – The guy in the top right hand corner reminds me of Faldio Lazadat from Valkyria Chronicles. Either way, there’s an apparent lack of girls in this picture. Looks like I’ll skip this.
Zenical – No sexy guys for me. I can’t stand them >_> I know a certain someone will be watching this because of the guys. Lol.

Summary
In an old town coffee shop, a boy met an older high school girl. From there, everything was… An unforgettable summer began.

Comments
Bluesnow – Watched the first episode of season one and I just did not enjoy it. Even then I only watched it because of School Rumble.  It also bothered me that the main male character looked like detective conan?
Guuzen – The series didn’t catch my attention at all. Like M, I’m not interested in this kind of art style as well.
M – Never watched Season 1. The art of the series isn’t appealing to me. I’ll pass
Zenical – Fave seiyuu in it. Didn’t watch Season 1. But will do so because of Hocchan ;)

Genre: Comedy, Romance

Seiyuu: Mamiko Noto, Wataru Hatano, Rie Kugimiya, Kana Ueda

Summary
Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu centers around Yūto Ayase and Haruka Nogizaka. Yūto is seemingly ordinary, but Haruka is attractive, intelligent, and rich, which prompts other students to idolize her and even give her French nicknames like “Nuit Étoile” (The Silver Star of the Night) and “Lumière du Clavier” (The Shining Princess on the Piano). One day, Yūto wanders into the school library in order to return a book and accidentally stumbles upon Haruka’s deepest, darkest secret: she is a diehard fan of anime and manga, in other words, a regular otaku. Promising Haruka to keep this a secret, Yūto becomes her advisor and confidente of some sort and hangs out with her more, though earning some viciously envious glares from his fellow schoolmates.

Comments
Bluesnow – I tried to watch the first season… I really did, But I found it really dry. I think I am becoming far too picky with anime. Since I couldn’t stomach the first season I will not be watching this
Guuzen – I didn’t watch the first season, so I’m definitely passing on this one.
M – Season 1 was great but not memorable. The only thing I remember is that the seiyuu for Haruka’s dad voices the character of Zaraki Kenpachi in Bleach. Other than that, I’ll still watch it but I’ll put it at B-Priority for me.
Zenical – I caught Season 1, it was great but I felt that it’s too draggy >< Will watch this for some laughs.

Comments
Bluesnow – Typical Harem anime~ Pass xP
Guuzen – After I read the summary I just went: “what…..?”. The story seems like such a random idea >.<. Think I’ll pass…
M – Ahhh a comedy and such thick irony from the summary already. I’ll catch this for Jun Fukuyama and Yu Kobayashi. The plot sounds like a show I’ve watched before but I’d like to see what crazy wishes the cats have for Junpei.
Zenical – Typical storyline, but I’ll watch it!

M – Even I find this show disturbing, which is pretty much an indication of how bad this show is.
Zenical – Never caught Season 1 at all, this anime is too much for a girl like me. S2 is a big NO.

Comments
Bluesnow – Will Check this out, but only because I’m watching hardly anything this season xD
Guuzen – Think I’ll be watching this. The character design is what attracted me to this series. Hope it won’t be a let down because it is always a bummer to see promising anime go bad.
M – A fantasy adventure anime. Nice. I personally like watching fantasy adventure Animes cause it’s like watching a JRPG unfold before your very eyes without having to actually play it or level up to fight bosses. Will be catching this. Definitely.
Zenical – Fantasy adventure anime. Should be nice, like Tears to Tiara!

Seitokai no Ichizon

Air Date: October 2, 2009
Episodes: -
Genre: Comedy
Official Website: http://anime.webnt.jp/seitokai/
Seiyuu: Kondo Takashi, Mariko Honda, Misuzu Togashi

Summary
The series, which is also called Hekiyō Gakuen Seito-kaigi Jiroku (The Records of the Hekiyō Academy Student Council’s Activities), revolves around a private high school whose student council is chosen entirely by popularity vote. Because of this, Ken Sugisaki is the only male representative, in the otherwise all bishōjo student council, that may enter the “sacred sanctuary” of the council’s meeting room. At the behest of Council President Kurimu Sakurano, Sugisaki records the minutes of the council meetings, which devolve into daily conversations about the students’ lives and interests.

Comments
Bluesnow – Pink Loli Harem, no thank you.
Guuzen – Not expecting much from it. I’m probably gonna try 1 episode of and see how it goes, though I have this feeling that I probably won’t make it to episode 2 =S.
M – The artwork of the characters remind me of Akane-iro no Somaru Saka. Brrr, that was a bad show to bring up because I actually initially liked that show but the ending was so bad I grew to hate it. Either ways, the summary makes this show sound like the average Harem in the works, so I’ll probably watch 1 or 2 episodes and drop it for something else.
Zenical – I like something that has school involved. The title interests me to a certain extent. Hopefully it won’t fail my expectations. Lol.

Shin Koihime†Musou

Air Date: October 5, 2009
Episodes: -
Genre: Fantasy
Official Website: http://www.mmv.co.jp/special/shinkoihime/
Seiyuu: Mai Goto, Maki Kobayashi, Erika Narumi

Summary
A television commercial from Marvelous Entertainment has announced that an anime has been green-lit for BaseSon’s Shin Koihime†Musō: Otome Ryōran Sangokushi Engi adult adventure game for personal computers. The game is spinoff from the Koihime†Musō: Doki—Otome Darake no Sangokushi Engi game, which has already been adapted into a television anime series and a video anime. The franchise re-imagines the classic Chinese historical novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms (Sangokushi) as a “moe (fiery), moe (preciously cute) action love comedy” with an almost all-female cast. The Shin Koihime†Musō game was just released in Japan on December 26.

The same Romance of the Three Kingdoms novel also inspired KOEI’s game franchise of the same name, KOEI’s Dynasty Warriors (Shin Sangoku Musō) spinoffs, and dozens of anime and manga of varying historical accuracy.

Comments
Bluesnow – It looks like Mahou Shoujo? Never saw the first season, So I have no intention of watching this.
Guuzen – Wait this is season 2? Ok think I will pass…
M – Koihime Musou returns. Imagine Sengoku Musou with all of your favourite generals being girls. That’s essentially the way to describe this show. Haha. I honestly can’t remember anything much about the last season except for the fact that they’re all really strong girls and there’ll probably be more conflict this season, between the characters of the different warring states.
Zenical – I never caught any of the show at all. I’m lost. LOL.

Comments
Bluesnow -Meh Ecchi~
Guuzen – Umm… I am not a huge fan of harem anime >.< I may give this a shot, BUT. If the guy will look like that throughout the series, then I’m out… Because he is really turning me off >.<
M – Looks good. The girl on the left reminds me of M.M. from Kemeko DX. The girl on the right reminds me of one of the twins from Kiss X Sis. Will watch this.
Zenical -Looking at the picture, I just know that it will be ecchi.. I will watch this if the ecchi isn’t too much for me to handle >< Sounds a lot like To-Love Ru. Oh and Souichiro Hoshi is voicing in this anime.. My one and only fave male seiyuu :P

Bluesnow – Don’t know about the library and plot o___o, and I could have swore there was a series like this last year… Maybe I’m loosing my mind xD~ I won’t be watching this unless I hear good things.
Guuzen – I think I will give this one a shot. It looks like there will be a fair bit of mystery inside the show which I don’t mind, though the part about dead people turning into books sounds a little weird. Romi Paku ^_^
M – I will catch the first few episodes because it’s fantasy, but i’ll probably drop it halfway through cause the plot just sounds meh.
Zenical – Another Fantasy anime. The summary is interesting, the sad thing is no fave seiyuu for me to catch this. Books and psychic powers eh? Hmm..

However, the one who inspired him has gone missing and only there does the mystery start.

Comments
Bluesnow -I probably shouldn’t judge an anime by its cover, but it has drawn me in. I will give this one a shot.
Guuzen – The art style is fine, but I’m concerned about the story. I’m going to have to watch the first few episodes to see what’s up with it.
M – Koshimizu Ami, Jun Fukuyama. Good enough reason to give this a chance. Besides, it’s Fantasy. How wrong can the genre go. Also, Nana Mizuki makes a return to the Anime scene. Haha. Haven’t seen her voicing anything other than White Album which was, in my opinion, total crap.
Zenical – The fact that the seiyuu cast has Nana Mizuki is a reason enough for me to watch this anime =X.

M – For those of you who’ve seen my post on the trailer for this show, should know how pumped I am for this. Biribiri is BACK!!!! Haha. Mikoto Misaka is by far my favourite character out of the main To Aru Majutsu no Index series and her having her own series is just kickass.
Zenical – Like M, I like Mikoto a lot =D. Will watch this definitely.

Comments
Bluesnow – I watched a few episode of the first series, but was quickly bored to tears. Unlike Zen and her Nana addiction, I have no reason to watch this series xD
Guuzen – I never watched the first season before. But reading the description for season 2, I think I’ll try season 1.
M – Having Hirano Aya is a high point for a series because they’ve already caught my attention. However, for a show as boring as White Album, it’s just not working. FYI, I skipped the first season after 2 episodes. Wayyyyy too boring.
Zenical – Caught first season, and I hate it. It got better, but it also got worse too. I will watch this so I can see what the bastard Touya will get!! Hope he doesn’t get any girls in the end =X

Airing 2009. Based on the Korean drama television series about the love between two childhood friends and the tragic events that happen. The drama was a huge hit in Japan.

Comments
Bluesnow – Errr… Probably not, but if I hear anything decent about this series I might try it.
Guuzen – I heard the Korean drama for this is really popular. But I’m not sure how well will the anime adaptation be. I just hope its not too melodramatic. Will give it a go.
M – Based off a korean drama, I’ll pass. The story sounds lacklusture and honestly, the characters look unappealing
Zenical – I caught the Kdrama years ago. It was an okay show.. But an anime version.. Err… No thanks >_>

Comments
Bluesnow -CAKEY xP~ Well… I suppose not even cake can save this series. I will have to pass.
Guuzen – Pass pass pass and pass ^_^ was never really interested in these kind of series like Gakuen Alice and Shugo Chara.
M – A kiddy show. Hmmmm. This very much looks like Shugo Chara but I think I’ll stick with Shugo Chara for consistency sake.
Zenical – Sounds.. interesting to a certain extent. I have been catching Shugo Chara, unlike the 3 of them, and I love the show a lot =D. So don’t judge an anime by its kiddy appearance! LOL.

Our Watchlist

Bluesnow: I’ve never seen such a lack luster line up since I’ve watched anime on a regular basis.  My list looks long, but based on experience it will probably drop down to only 3-4 things I’ll be watching. The only one on my definite list in the Macross movie.

---

Guuzen: This fall season is quite ok for me. Not too many shows, and not too little. The main reason that I am not watching a few of the titles is because they are sequels to anime which I have not watched before. What is more, some of the new titles does not look interesting, whether its because of the story/plot, or the illustration, or the genre. I can sometimes overlook genres and story/plot, but to me the character illustration really pretty much decides whether or not I will be giving the series a try.I will be trying out quite a few titles this season, but I’m not sure how many of them will still be on my watch list after their respective first few episodes >.<.

---

M : Yeah, I definitely have a long season out for me. 6 series and a movie on my Must Watch list. Not to mention that I’m pretty confident at this moment I’ll probably bump the ‘Will Try’ Animes up to Must Watch and the ‘Might Try’ Kampfer up to Will Try. Oh boy, I will really need extra hours this season.

---

Zenical: Fall season is pretty boring this time round. My Hocchan is like taking a break? Maybe the concerts and many many anime shows are tiring her out :(. I will be bluffing if I said that these are my only anime shows that I will be catching this Fall. But these 4 anime shows are definitely on my watchlist! The rest.. I have to watch and decide. That is what I do for most of the shows =P.KAMPFER IS A MUST WATCH THIS FALL!!!!!!

So what are the shows for you this Fall 09?
