Fall 2009 Anime Watch List

fall-2009-v2

Since there’s about a week or two until the fall season starts, its time for the usual roundup of shows I’ll be looking forward to. I tried to keep the number of new shows low so I can finish the stuff I’m already watching but things don’t always work out for me that way. Anyway onto the list:

Professor Discovers Yuri on the Chalkboard

prof-mark-sherriff-finds-yuri

Today was supposed to be an unexciting Sunday spent studying for my neuroscience exam Tuesday but something surprising happened. I got a text message from one of my friends at about 7:15 pm telling me that he was at his computer science study session in the same room I host showings for my university’s anime club. After drawing my yuri I always pull down the projector screen to cover up the chalkboard to let whoever has to use/clean it next have a nice surprise. Scrolling further down the message it says that the professor pulled up the screen to reveal to a horde of unsuspecting victims my creation. In disbelief I also check my club’s forums and sure enough there is a slightly different account of the story by someone else. Soon afterward a third friend also in the study session calls me to give me the news.

Since I wasn’t actually there the full impact of the events that transpired can’t be done justice by me. Thankfully a fourth friend I know wrote up a wonderful post about the surprise yuri study session which chronicles pretty much everything.

I always wondered how university staff reacts to my drawings but this is possibly the first time anyone has seen it first hand. I guess I’m sort of infamous now. I hope this class has another test study session in the same room again so I can provide even more jubilation to my new “fans.”

OVA Confirmed for Gundam Unicorn

Gundam Unicorn

With the apparent lack of any new mecha series in the coming fall season, as well as the absence of any new Gundam animation this year despite the 30th anniversary of the franchise (though we did get that cool statue), I was getting a little impatient to hear something from the Sunrise/Bandai camp. Luckily, they delivered with an announcement confirming a 6-episode OVA release for Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn in 2010.

I Really Want Yui’s Guitar

yui-guitar-1

Apparently the TBS ishop recently started taking preorders for special guitars based on those of K-ON’s Yui and Mio. The Hirasawa Yui Model Beginner’s Electric Guitar and Akiyama Mio Model Beginner’s Bass sell for 29800 yen each and come with a set of limited edition clear stickers to make the perfect otaku guitar. The guitars are designed for girls and middle/high school students and as such are made of light materials for a lighter than standard weight.
