WINTER ANIME 2009!!!
This post is a live post. This would be updated as soon as we gathered new information, new shows, and as soon as we’ve finished putting up infos on the other shows. If there’s any corrections, please don’t hesitate to correct us 🙂 What will you be looking forward to on the upcoming Winter seasons and which shows are you going to follow?
About kanzeon

Thank you Kanzeon and Tsui for this extensive coverage of the winter season 🙂 You seem to have opposite views on some shows and it adds a nice dynamic to the reading. Kanzeon keeps referring to Tsui as dog, I wonder if “Sit Boy” command will have the same effect on him as on Inuyasha 😛
I am going to post a similar preview sometime in December probably.
Oh, I hear the resounding enthusiasm for the Tale of Genji 😛
Kamen no Maid guy used to be good in the beginning because it focused on the Kogarashi, but later it drifted to pantsu and boobs 😛 One of my favorite episodes was with the proof that 1+1=3 lol
I don’t plan to watch KISS x SIS, but at least the protagonist has a motivation to study 😛
I might check out MARIA-SAMA GA MITERU because someone recommended it to me.
I have not seen the Winter Sonata drama, so I’ll probably watch it and might cover it.
I’ll definitely check out KEMONO NO SOUJA ERIN because of I.G. 🙂
I don’t like stereotypes, but I’ll check AXIS POWERS HETALIA out because Kanzeon seem to like it 🙂
KONNICHI WA ANNE is a prequel to Anne of the Green Gables and is based on the other book called Before Green Gables. The story presents a realistic depiction of harsh childhood of the heroine.
I’ll check out RIDE BACK also.

Kurokami isn’t like Elfen Lied. A bit of gore but not the 50 liters of blood from someone’s ripped limbs. To me, it feels more like a Mai Hime setup with Mototsumitamas using tera from their human partners (translation: partnership between a “god” and human using the human’s energy to power up) and a grand scheme to cause chaos.
Somehow, I feel that Maria + Holic and Tower of Druaga will be the only meaningful series for me in the upcoming season. Far less hope for the others.

Useful preview!
… but my, what a depressing lineup! Where are the giant robots?!!! Oh well, it’ll be marathon season then.

Genji: Yes!
Kamen no Maid Guy: Why just an OVA??? ;A; Wants new season!!!
Natsume Yuujinchou: Hell yes!
White Album: on being picked up because of Maeno Tomoaki.
~what a mega-sad season.

@Kitsune: Thanks for the epic comment ^_^!!! Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Oh thanks for the info about Konnichi wa Anne. We thought that it was a remake or something because it’s currently being aired here in out country XD. Can’t wait for your winter post too 🙂
@ffviiknight: I got the Elfen Lied vibe because of the mysterious girl (Kuro). Also Druaga seems interesting now that you mentioned it. I might watch the first season.
@ghostlightning: For me, this season is really sad. This is the perfect time to rest or finish up some of the shows ^_^.
@biankita: Yes. The line-up was very depressing. This season has a few interesting shows to watch -_-…

After staring dumbly at the screen the last few minutes reading the previews I think my only change of face was when I actually recognised Tower of Druaga. The rest aren’t familiar at all (except Slayers but I don’t watch Slayers) but I’m a spontaneous anime watcher so I might grab a series or two of this winters line up. We’ll see. Thanks for the previews all the same, least I have a little idea on whats to come.

This is going to be a pretty solid season. Wasn’t sure what was going to be out there so appreciate the effort put into this preview. A lot of what I’ll apparently be watching are sequels this time around. Though are a few shows that I’ll probably check out to see how they go.
Think Birdy was a good series that came with a name that wasn’t great. While the male lead was barely tolerable Birdy herself was a good character. Look forward to what she’ll be dealing with this time around.
Ok had almost nothing to do (or something I didn’t want to do) and from the title checked out the KissxSis manga. Honestly it wasn’t too bad. Antics were fun enough to follow and an OVA is a good move. Will get out the core of it without trying to spread out the ‘plot’ too much.
Liking the Natsume sequel. They played well with emotions in the first season. Could see how they will carry the second season with likely more development for Natsume as a character.
White Album and Kurokami sound interesting enough. Will have to give the first episodes a chance and just see how they go.
Druaga, the series that just tossed the announcement of a second season at the end. Though you honestly knew they couldn’t resolve all the issues within the final episode so something had to give. Slayers I’m not sure about now. The first 3 seasons were great experiences, but honestly the first half of the fourth fell on its face to a degree. Jokes weren’t quite as good and tension didn’t feel like it was there either. Probably take a look for the sake of it but not high hopes.
Again thanks for the preview. Nice to have a better idea what’s coming for this season.

Holy crap here it is. The almost insanely early well-done preview (Winter Edition~).
My thoughts on all the anime is same as it was before more information came out. Though I have to admit…those MADs you posted got me interested in Axis Powers Hetalia.
There’s only one must-see show for me this season though, which is White Album. Nana-sama ftw! Aya Hirano is just a bonus. Oh yeah and Maria+Holic (I love my traps. Sadistic or otherwise.)

“Honestly, I didn’t donated any help on this post, just my impressions on them, so if you see any mistakes, blame Kanzeon ok? Haha..â€
xD;
I like you already!
Kanzeon, smack him, lol. J/k.Hmm, I guess I’m going to give a first impression try on Genji. I want to see how they’re going to do the art.
Maria+Holic, Asu no Yoichi, Kurokami, and Akikan! will watch for the first two episodes and see where it takes me from there.
Must definitely watch: White Album (NANA-SAMAAAAAAAAAAAA~~~!!!!!!!!!!!)
And all your Axis Powers posts are tempting me…but I haven’t given in yet! |D;
Thx for the detailed preview! Now I’m all organized until the actual season starts. Then I’m screwed. 😛
But yea, looking forward to your posts on your choices. ^^

@Machinany: You’re welcome 🙂 . Hope our preview helps on what shows will you chose ^_^.
@FlareKnight: Thank you very much for sharing your views on the upcoming winter shows ^_^. I think just like Fall, it’s a good season for sequels and an interesting season for new series 🙂
@FuyuMaiden: Lol, spread the Hetalia fever!!! Nice to know that you’ll be going to watch White Album and Maria+Holic too ^_^.
@xiao_jie: *gets my gun* where’s that dog!? Lol. I’m also interested on how would they do the art for Genji. Oh and soon you’ll catch the APH fever… soon XD (prepares a lot of APH MAD posts).

Finally, someone else who dislikes Natsume Yuujin-chou! I was beginning to think that you people don’t exist anymore. I’m personally interested in Kurokami and Maria holic, though the latter sounds so…cliche.

Kill your campadre for not liking Natsume. Like, NOW.

lol @ the dialogues of Kemono no Souja Erin. XD
Well, I.G. has been progressing in its productions, so it might actually be good. :3

Winter again has the loneliest batch of upcoming shows every year. I’ll only be watching Birdy 2 and Kurokami. Maybe Mariaholic too since everyone’s oh so hyped about it.

“Because if it were to be personified, the Philippines would be a corrupt politician…”
That’s also my guess XD (have more to say but, oh well, mental-blocked, lol)
