Spring 2008 Anime Preliminary Choices

It looks like pKjd at moetron ☆萌えトロン has already compiled a list of this spring’s new anime. Looking at the list, I don’t recognize that many series at all so some of my picks are quite arbitrary (i.e art looks nice). This is more a list to help me keep track of these series before actually deciding to watch them. It also keeps me from clogging MyAnimeList before finalizing what I will and will not watch.

Definitely Will Watch:

• OVA ないしょのつぼみ (Naisho no Tsubomi)
• コードギアス　反逆のルルーシュR2 (Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion R2)

This extremely short list consists of the 2 shows that I actually know the most about. Everyone knows about Geass so I won’t explain why I am looking forward to it (insert Geass joke here). Naisho no Tsubomi is probably the best surprise on the list as far as I am concerned. For those of you who don’t know, it was originally a shoujo manga with the purpose of teaching little girls SEX EDUCATION. It depicts Naisho, a FIFTH GRADER, dealing with her mother’s pregnancy, her first period, and the new feelings she is developing towards boys (insert self deprecating sarcastic remark here).

Probably Will Watch:

• ヴァンパイア騎士　～VAMPIRE KNIGHT～
• かのこん (Kanokon)
• 狂乱家族日記 (Kyouran Kazoku Nikki)
• To LOVEる (To Love-Ru)
• 我が家のお稲荷さま (Wagaya no Oinari-sama)
• 図書館戦争 (Toshokan Sensou)
• Ｓ・Ａ～スペシャル・エー～ (S-A ~Special-A~)

For this list, I don’t have much to say since the only one I know anything about is To Love-Ru. All I can say about these is that I like the art, especially Vampire Knight’s, and that I need some bishoujo shows to watch.

Might Watch:

• アリソンとリリア (Allison to Lillia)
• 二十面相の娘 (Nijuu Menzou Musume)
• RD　潜脳調査室 (RD Sennou Chousashitsu)
• イタズラなKiss (Itazura na Kiss)
• ドルアーガの塔 〜the Aegis of URUK〜 (The Tower of Druaga ~the Aegis of URUK~)
• 紅　kure-nai
• 仮面のメイドガイ (Kamen no Maid Guy)

I have even less to say about this list other than they looked somewhat interesting and I want to keep a tab on them so that I won’t forget.
