probably not, crossing my finger for fixed episode on DVD release though.

Non of Sunday shows were remotely good at all as Sora no Otoshimono was boring and Miracle Train just gave me brain damage but I'll give Sora no Otoshimono another chance since i want a series to to watch on Sundays beside FMA.



Tegami Bachi Ep1

couldn't complete first EP was very boring and the fact it's the writers and director first gig didn't help as well. it's being animated by Studio Pierrot which means it's going to be long series if it becomes a success and animation will suffer like Bleach and Naruto.

I lol'd more than I should have.

Got bored and decided to check out 2 more anime this season, Seitokai no Ichizon and The Sacred Blacksmith. Seitokai was actually pretty funny for how simple it was, not expecting much from it, but I need at least one comedy to watch this season. The Sacred Blacksmith seems like it could be interesting, I'm not really sure yet. I guess it would depend on what sort of story it develops and how many episodes it ends up being.

The Book of Bantorra

what a strange show... its like... humans are "food/lambs" for some race of human like things and uhh.. yeah hard to explain.

Decent action though!

[Cjskater]

@Book of Bantorra
That one guy on the boat looked like Zangief when he hulked out (this part). Gave me a chuckle.

I'm going to watch (or try to) a lot this time around... so far I'd put it like this:

1. Toaru Kagaku no Railgun
2. Letter Bee
3. Nyan Koi! [guilty pleasure #1]
4. Kämpfer [guilty pleasure #2]
5. Seiken no Blacksmith - boobs > ice > superior japanese weaponry made out of pure diamondillium > *
6. Seitokai no Ichizon
7. Tatakau Shisho - The Book of Bantorra
I don't know where White Album and Inuyasha fit in there.

I look forward to the next show gg is going to whine about.

Bakemonogatari's 1st Unaired Episode Online on October 28 - Anime News Network

The official website for the television anime adaptation of NisiOisin's Bakemonogatari light novels has announced on Monday that it will distribute the unaired "Tsubasa Cat - Part 3" episode on October 28. The website has already been streaming a 32-second preview for this episode since September 25.

The television run of the anime ended on September 25 with the 12th episode, "Tsubasa Cat - Part 2," but the official website confirmed on September 25 that Parts 3 through 5 will be distributed online, one episode after the other. In a July interview, director Akiyuki Shinbo mentioned his plans to animate 15 episodes. However, the Japanese broadcasting schedule usually allows only 12 to 13 episodes per cours (13-week block). Because of this, Shinbo said that the staff at the SHAFT anime studio would probably air the first 12 episodes, and distribute the remaining three episodes on the official homepage for free.

The Sacred Blacksmith seems like it could be interesting, I'm not really sure yet

I don't mind the series atm but i'm more worried if they will follow the manga fanservice and nudity in the upcoming Ep.

Sora no Otoshimono

Spoiler: show

Umm... wow this is a pointless ecchi anime. Tomo, the main character, ends up having an angel follow him via a dog chain. She has the ability to grant any wish and as a consequence, he mistakenly wished away everyone in the world. He has his wish undone and continues to have the angel follow him.

All the scenes do not seem to flow at all... He does endeavor in his perverted wishes to grope his next door neighbor/classmate, Sohara, and every other girl in his school. None of the jokes are funny. The voices are annoying. Animation is so-so. Blah blah... this one is pretty retarded...

[Cjskater]

I enjoyed Sora no Otoshimono. Greatest animated boobs ever. This show could possibly be pretty good if it doesn't revisit the main char's annoying motto too much.

Kobato (Clamps new show)

-The Good: Cute, funny, sweet, great animation and very likable characters with sugar on top.

-The Bad: Cute, Sweet, aimed for kids and little girls.

-Over all: If you hate clamp or you want bloody or fanservice show it's not the one for you but I enjoyed the first ep alot and so going to watch it from start to finish.

I really see nothing wrong with that

If I had the money to waste and easy access to Akiba, I'd probably decorate my room with something similar.

I'd probably watch Kobato, but I'm still a bit pissed off by Clamp over Tsubasa.

Though I'll outright admit it's my fucking fault for following through the entire thing, but really, I don't think I've facepalmed that hard after reading 2 chapters of a manga.

[Kaylia]

I don't know...it doesn't look like a healthy obcession.

[drewbixcube]

good luck bringing a girl home to that

[Nitsuki]

Just out of sheer curiousity, i haven't really seen anyone mention it, anyone have an opinion on NEEDLESS? Looks like they bumped it up from being 13 eps to 24 or 25 eps i forgot, the wifey and i were about to marathon it thinking it was completed, now we gotta wait again. lol

[Gulkeeva]

ecchi comedy, ok action and ecchi, I'm keeping up with it O_o

Spoiler: show

A thriller eroge turned anime. I was reluctant to take a dive into this, but I am decently happy with the first episode. Since I didn't see any translated versions out yet, I will give a semi-detailed synopsis.

The anime starts with a flash back to the main character, Satsuki Kakeru, seeing his sister die due to what appears to be stomach wounds from flying chains, I am guessing this is going to be explained a bit later. Kakeru appears to be around the age of 9-10 years old. His friend, Yuka, witnesses it in shock as Kakeru falls down.

OP

We also see a red haired miko doing a type of incantation and attacked by flames. She is scarred with some type of kanji on her forearm.

The anime flash forwards to the present where you see Kakeru wasting time on their school roof and Yuka visits him. The main character has a rather large and prominent eyepatch covering his right eye, which is explained as blindness and heterochromia.

Anywho, we get introduced to two friends who seem meaningless. They invite Kakeru and Yuka to an outlet mall but Kakeru declines despite Yuka's eagerness. As a result, Yuka then decides to not go. (They seem inseparable). They return to Yuka's home and we are told that the two are adopted orphans in separate homes. Kakeru decides to go with Yuka to the outlet mall anyways out of guilt.

While they are crossing a bridge, they just randomly, and through a traumatic way, transport to a parallel world that is filled with a red sky. Devoid of any other people, they encounter horribly designed monsters. They at this point return back to the normal world. Kakeru has a dream of a girl resembling his dead sister and Yuka wakes him up indicating that she couldn't sleep.

When they get to their school, a new transfer student who is quiet is introduced. Shiori seems to only have a peculiar interest in Kakeru and confronts him. When she does, Yuka feints from being unable to sleep the night before. Kakeru carries Yuka to the nurses' office wedding style.

They encounter a delinquent who seems to be an important character, unnamed but is Takahisa, at the nurse's office. The nurse is big tittied and asks Yuka if her and Kakeru are dating, when he leaves.

The anime wraps up Kakeru and Yuka deciding to go to the outlet mall again and spend the remaining of the day as sort of a date. Yuka asks to have Kakera use her lap as a pillow and the two gets transferred to the parallel crimson sky world again. Surrounded by the monsters, the anime ends with Kakeru seeing his dead sister, or who looks like her.

I have to say, this anime has decent quality in animation style, pace, and voice acting. Daisuke Ono is Kakeru's voice. He is Itsuki in Haruhi, Battler from Umineko, Maya, Student council president, from Mamorukun. His voice is older but strong and rough. His voice sets the tone of a stronger main character for a bishoujo harem type but well for this thriller type. Yuka is voiced by Mai Goto. She lended her voice to the little sister characters in Happiness!, Nogizaka Haruka no himitsu and Kemeko Deluxe!. I guess its fitting considering Yuka's small slender stature in the anime.

Overall, I have to say that this will probably be an interesting sleeper anime with fan-service, violence, and some gore. Noticed a lot of pantie shots, but one lengthy close up one was "steamed" out. The nurse had jiggly boobs that moved freakishly independently. There is no violence yet, but its preluded by the OP that they will be fighting in a sort of fantasy-sword type of way.

Crunchyroll will be hosting streaming for this, so episodes will be there and other places relatively quickly. Hopefully it won't be poorly translated.

Anywho, I think its worth checking out.

i've been keeping up with it and enjoying it for the most parts mostly because the humor really fits what i like. it can get boring at times but there's always a little bit of action per episode and usually the funniest parts of the ep are mid battle .
