January 09 Anime
Hey hey hey sup 09 what’s happenin bro
Current
Casshern Sins: Sins carries itself on art direction more than anything else, but the light musings on what it means to live are interesting. Casshern has also stopped being a pussy, kind of.
Clannad ~After Story~: I have no idea how the writing in this show is so inconsistent. It ranges from very juvenile to fairly mature and compelling in the space of a few episodes. The consistently great production values keep it very watchable, even if the writing is total crap.
Jigoku Shoujo Mitsuganae: I like Jigoku Shoujo, shutup :(
Kurogane no Linebarrels: They were doing their best when the show was silly, but hopefully it can do seriousness well. If the opening episodes are any indication… they can’t. But I hold out hope!!
Michiko and Hatchin: This show keeps betraying my expectations, but at the same time it never disappoints. I guess they had to sell this is an action show or no one would watch it. It’s a pretty good… crime drama? Is that what it is? Anyway, it’s very good.
Tentai Senshi Sunred: Right when the formula was getting stale, they mixed it up again. Pretty good comedy, but not one of the best. That said, it’s hard to top the brilliance of Gag Manga Biyori and Colorful…
To Aru Majutsu no Index: The writing has gotten a little better, but the pacing is still way off in some episodes. They really need to do a better job of balancing character involvement, since for a show called To Aru Majutsu no Index, Index sure doesn’t do much anymore! Touma also has really lame dialogue. God. I like it, though. Cute girls.
Toradora!: For an otaku-centric romance show, it’s surprisingly very good. I came into this expecting to like it for fanservice and jokes, but as a character drama and romance, it offers up some meaty stuff to chew on. Very well done show.
Tytania: Started off pretty slow, but has developed into a pretty good space adventure. Not as good as the best space adventure, though!
Zettai Karen Children: Almost the best show of the year. Consistently entertaining and lots of fun. I love all of The Children :3
I just finished and will finish a bunch of things.
None of those are ’09 anime, gb2lastyear.
As for new shows coming out, subs of Akikan and Kurokami are out there, both are shitty, but have good points. Akikan has a FABULOUS main character and Kurokami has nice fight scenes, even though they could’ve been so much better.
[spoiler]Loli haet truck.[/spoiler]
look out for Maria holic it will turn you gay
I watched both Akikan and Maria Holic already.
Skipping Kurokami because it’s shounen fight shit
The only thing I’m interested in from the new season is Maria Holic, because I’m a stupid Shaft-Shinbo fanboi.
> I love all of The Children
No Shiho!
No Hirano-Aya-voiced-character-I-can’t-be-bothered-to-remember-the-name-of!
Aoi only!
FINAL DESTINATION!
