SUMMER ANIME 2009

NEEDLESS
Website——–Airdate: 07/02
Animation Production: Madhouse
Seiyuu: Aya Endo as Cruz Schild, Eri Kitamura as Eve Neusch Von Stein, Takehito Koyasu as Adam Blade
In the near future, mankind has suffered from a Third World War, leaving extreme damage all over and forced mankind to become even more distinct from their species. The world was at chaos and from this chaos comes a new species: “Needless”. The Needless are humans who have contracted a “disease” as humans may call them, and allow them to wield extraordinary powers far superior to any mankind. Their abilities include Telekinesis, elemental powers, gravity control, adaptation, radioactive release and all manners of scientific impossibility.
Tsui: X-MEN much?
Kanz: Lol that’s what I thought too XP.
Tsui: See? We are SO meant to be =P
Kanz: Eewww… Dream on, asshole.

Taishou Yakyuu Musume.
Website——–07/02——–Show Trailer ▼
Animation Production: JC Staff
Seiyuu: Kanae Itō as Koume Suzukawa
The novels are set in 1925 when two 14-year-old Japanese high school girls named Koume and Shōko decide to start a baseball team in Japan where few baseball teams — male or female — exist at the time. First though, the two girls have no clue where to find nine players, how to use the equipment, and what even the rules are.
Kanz: What I see from this is a female rendition of Ookiku Furikabutte which is less watchable for me >__> Pass.
Tsui: I already forgot about this one already. It’s quite early to judge it but I think it’s already being overshadowed by other school/slice-of-life series this season already. But still, here’s many cute girls~~~~~~~~~~~
——————————————————————————–
Bakemonogatari
Website——–Airdate: 07/03——–Show Trailer ▼
Animation Production: SHAFT
Koyomi Araragi is almost hman again after briefly bcoming a vampire. When Hitagi falls down the stairs into his arms, he discovers he wieghs almost nothing, and offers her help from a middle-aged man. Koyomi encounters different apperitions in a series of interconnected stories.
Kanz: Lol the PV barely tells us anything about what anime this will be about but argh, my curiosity wants to know already! For sure there are ghosts though, duh… So I might as well check this one out.
Tsui: Seems like the director was the one who directed Maria+Holic. Because of that, I will not keep high hopes after its mediocrity. I think that the PV is a really good way to introduce the series and it kept me interested on how this show will be. So yeah, will be trying this one out, but no high hopes or anything.

Zan Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei
Website——–Airdate: 07/04——–Show Full OP Song ▼
Animation Production: SHAFT
Seiyuu: Hiroshi Kamiya as Nozomu Itoshiki, Ai Nonaka as Kafuka Fuura, Marina Inoue as Chiri Kitsu
Third season of the Zetsubou Sensei series. We get to see the world’s most negative person, Nozomu Itoshiki again and his crazy life as a teacher.
Tsui: Haha LOL yes I’ll be watching this one! I love its randomness and probably this series and grew upon me being an anime lover. Glad that it’s getting a third season instead of continuing OVAs…
Kanz: Nozomu is like, the craziest teacher a student could ever have XD. I enjoyed the first two seasons as well when I marathon-ed it some time ago. I’ll be watching it ^^.
——————————————————————————–
COBRA: Rokunin no Yushi
Website——–Airdate: 07/04——–13 episodes
Animation Production: Madhouse
Seiyuu: Nachi Nozawa as Cobra, Yoshiko Sakakibara as Armaroid Lady
Cobra is very known space pirate, but decides to change his face and to clear all his memories. He becomes a common guy, with a common job, and a very boring life, but suddenly he starts remembering his true identity and new adventures begin.
Kanz: >___>
Tsui: <___<
*crickets chirping*

I got stunned at how early this is O__O…
Will read first before I comment again ^^ (just saving the first comment of honor :P)
POWUH: Metanorn Regular with 119 comments
Ok, thanks for the early preview… Or err, catalogue as kanzeon said xD;; The only show that stands out this season in my opinion is Tokyo Magnitude 8.0. I think it looks really great, judging by the preview and the studio behind it. Scary concept ftw–
A change of studio regarding Spice and Wolf is something that’s hard to adopt in, but I’m prepared for it anyway if it’s for the better. I haven’t watched episode 00 yet though, and maybe I’ll save watching it when ep 01 airs on Summer.
:XD: Lots of school/slice-of-life eh? I think Kanamemo (did i just spelled it right?) looks cute and Seitokai no Ichizon as well. I’m hoping that any studio would animate it except for Studio DEEN but it’s too late lol.

SPICY WOLF 2! :nosebleeds:
Hooray for more furry moe Horo. Looking forward to summer! :runs:
POWUH: iLurker with 1 comments
:huh: So… is the second series of Haruhi true or not? I still don’t get it.
POWUH: Metanorn Regular with 122 comments
My Picks:
1. Hetalia season 2
2. Hetalia season 2
3. Hetalia season 2…(shot)
Seriously though, I’m want to watch SoraManiMani, the baseball show, Hetalia, and Aoi Hana. I’ll probably also try the random mermaid show and the one that’s taking over Eden’s timeslot.

Summer season screams PASTAAAAAAAAAA~!!!
I lol’d so hard when you mentioned “random mermaid show” for Umi Monogatari XDDD OMG lolol XD!!! I don’t know why but I just laughedmao at my table like an involuntary action ^^ (yeah, I’m crazy XD). The one taking over Eden’s timeslot is Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 ^^.
POWUH: iLurker with 9 comments
I lol’d so hard on the Needless comments and the Cobra. Lol I don’t even know what that is either even though it’s airing for so long 😆
The only shows I’m looking forward to next season is Hetalia 2 and Spice and Wolf 2. I’m not sure enough to try out the new series, since nothing almost appeals to me. Well except for Tokyo Magnitude, but I can’t take tragedies with my weak heart.
POWUH: Beginner (20-35) with 25 comments
wow.. wait a second.. I though Hetalia 3 were to suppose to release on autumn <.<‘ Since the first season is rather finish on 19 July… so it would be hard to believe that they would continue the week after that as Hetalia 1 finish.
btw.. you didn’t mention xxxHOLiC Shunmuiki xD
Mimiko ♥’s last blog post..Hatsukoi Limited episode 4
POWUH: 1100-1199 with 1187 comments
Hetalia 2 is confirmed on Summer ^^. Yay~ that means no break *so happy*
Umm, we still have no news for xxxHolic but we’ll keep you updated ^^
POWUH: iLurker with 2 comments
Definitely watching:
1. Umineko no Naku Koro ni
2. Spice and Wolf 2
3. Aoi Hana
I’ll be looking forward to:
4. CANAAN
5. GA
6. Princess Lover
7. Tokyo Magnitude
POWUH: iLurker with 2 comments
Daaaang. This really is exceptionally early. Most of the Spring animes are still in their early stages! But July isn’t that far away either, really…
Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 definitely looks interesting, I think I’ll be checking that one out. That, and elementhunters. (haha, just for kicks. And to see if it can do anything for my sucky chemistry…)
POWUH: Occasional (51-75) with 57 comments
:kyaa: Lol thank you so much for the early review!!! Yay~ Finally I will not get lost when the new season comes ^^. Keep the updates coming~
I’ll be surely watching Aoi Hana because I LOVE the manga. The main may not look very bishoujo like Strawberry Panic or Candy Boy but I really dig the story ^^. Hope you guys would try it as well ^^.
Lol Element Hunters. Sound like a very interesting premise but when I checked the site, it looked like a kiddie show (lol a kiddie show that’s about chemistry is really educational XD!). But yep, it may get really helpful in chemistry ^^. :megane:
And yay for another season of Hetalia. YaayyY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
:cheer: :cheer: :cheer:
POWUH: Lovely-pyon~ and Metanorn's Hime-chan~ with 371 comments
I was ROFLMAO throughout the entire catalogue. XD
Argh, I’m still too scared to watch Higurashi but I’m definitely going to give Umineko a try. The character designs and setting of the story look really interesting.
Watching Sora no ManiMani purely for Xiao’s beloved Kanae-san~! <333
Whatwhat?! Nana-sama singing an OP?! OMG, will watch! 8D
& main guy reminds me of Daisuke from D.N.Angel…which I sorely miss. Why aren’t the new chapters coming out anymore? T_T
As for the others, I plan to try CANAAN, Yakyuu Musume, the show after that (lol)
btw, you put the Yakyuu trailer under that one, just wanted to point that out ^^;, Umi Monogatari (I got the Mermaid Melody vibe from it, too…only I don’t know which one looks more pervy), Bakemonogatari…and like, 5 others. o.O; I’ll probably drop several before I even watch them, though. Just like for spring. xD;But thanks so much for the awesome review! I’ll keep checking back for updates! ^^

Thanks for the epic fabulous funny catalog or catalogue… or whatever how that’s spelled >.> lol. I really can’t stop laughing from the Needless comments to the Cobra silence XD lolol~
>>LMAO! Poor Tsui… So his services are free? XD O dear the two of you are SO funny XDD.
Omg anyway, I have a lot to watch on the next season! Though I’m getting the feeling that most of them will end up being dropped like dead flies after a few weeks or so. I’m torn apart between Umi Monogatari to Yoru Wamaru Thingy Show (forgot the name XD) and I’m also choosing between Aoi Hana and the Baseball Girls. It feels like there’s a natch for every summer show lol. Will watch Umineko and Hetalia 2 for sure. I still need to watch the first season of Spice and Wolf to understand the hype about it though.
So yeah, thanks for the preview! (Or catalog/ue XDD). I’ll wait for more trailers and updates to come ^^.

CANAAN will definitely be good. I can’t wait for it. :cute:
POWUH: Occasional (51-75) with 57 comments
Wow, early previews FTW! Nothing looks too interesting though. Kind of curious about spicy wolf but I have to marathon through the first season…
TJ’s last blog post..One Piece 541
POWUH: Beginner (20-35) with 29 comments
Tokyo Magnitude 8.0, gonna watch this one
POWUH: Metanorn Lover and Metanorn's old-timer with 161 comments
Woo! The super awesome early Metanorn anime preview…er…catalog is ftw is always! I love the new layout of things. Even a preview (catalog? lol) post just looks so cool when it’s on Metanorn.
As expected, you guys had me laughing the whole way through. Too bad I have to wait for Fall anime for another one of these. (Ooo~ Or maybe a new show will get announced?)
As for shows I’m watching, of course Sora no Manimani is at the top of my list. It is my officially adopted fangirl series for the season! Which reminds me that I need to go check that scanlation group and see if they’ve given me any more chapters of the manga that I can love~
Other series I’m probably going to at least check out are Canaan, Taishou Yakyuu Musume, Yoku Wakaru Gendai Mahou, Umi Monogatari, Kanamemo, and Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 (the “duh” show on everyone’s watchlist!). Did I forget anything? Oh yeah, more Hetalia~ I may not talk about it much, but I can’t resist those bishie-fied countries~
There seem to be a lot of things I have interest in, but not much is totally grabbing me like Sora no Manimani. I think I’m just spoiled and expect to have a show to add to my favorites OF ALL TIME every season for some reason. Which may work out anyway if Sora no Manimani surpasses my own hype. And then I never have to learn a lesson. Yay!

Spice and Wolf 2 is a guaranteed win for me! :runs:
POWUH: Metanorn Regular with 78 comments
I think Summer will be definitely better than Spring, but there are still a few shows that I’m guaranteed to check out. I can’t wait for Umi Monogatari and Aoi Hana :kyaa:
POWUH: iLurker with 1 comments
Summer looks better than Spring. Looking forward to lots of shows like Umineko, Spice and Wolf, Cobra, ElementHunters, Aoi Hana, Needless and Yoru Gendai Mahou.
