Thanks for posting all the news on upcoming shows.

None of these really tickles my fancy, except maybe Soul Eater. But even anime I don't like is better than almost everything else on TV.

Danny I see a few code errors in your post. Not sure if you spotted them. Tetsuwan Birdy for one, and there was one at Allison & Lillia.

Soul Eater and Blassreiter are definitely on my watchlist, but after the legal throwdown by Gonzo making CR go over to the dark side I wonder about subs now heh. I bet some of them are contemplating about getting hit by C&Ds.

Your Vampire Knight teaser looks very, very random *Loud laugh*
Blue Dragon looks like Dragon Quest Revenge of Dai/Fly all over again. As I loved the story of Dai, Why not? (However I never bothered watching more than the first episode of Beet the Vandel Buster).
To Love Ru seems nice to me... It is guaranteed I will watch it... One day.
As for the rest, I will wait for reviews first. ^^

Oh, and upon looking at the Natsume poster, it really looks like Alphonse Elric with his brother's outfit... However I made a fast search on Google and succinctly saw that the manga (story, artwork) is really different from Hagaren.

Allison and Lillia is looking rather good I must say. I was advised to take a look at it a few days ago.

Other things on my watch list go as follows: The Tower of Druaga, Kanokon, and possibly To Love ru, cos all the buzz and news I've heard about it.... 

I think I'm in the mood for a cutesy/happy/bubbly series, but is Allison and Lillia is good I will have to wait for that lol. Normally I choose one series to follow through, and not bother with the rest. (Limited downloads...:sob: and not enough time really... struggled to watch H20)

I bet this one will do well.

Soul Eater! Soul Eater! *continues making a racket by banging on the floor with the end of a pole* All this new anime is getting me fired up; however, I'm not going to go so far as to say I'm blazing with energy. That's because I have a pile of old classics to complete '_' You know, MS Gundam(1979)?

Allison & Lilia, the music kinda reminds me of the old Tintin animation (loved that show), but I was sold the moment they rolled out the bright yellow Tiggy Moth.  Set of RAF roundels on the side and it could've been flown across Africa by Biggles and the gang :D

That said Mr Bigglesworth might have been more comfortable in that Sky Crawlers thing, which also looks real interesting.

Natsume Yujin Cho looks very interesting and i'll add that to me watch list =3

Xamdou looks interesting as well not to mention the Eureka 7 team will take charge in the production ^^

i'm curious at Necro Dragon and Ryoko's Case File and both looks promising

i'm looking forward to Special A, Vampire Knight, Soul Eater and To Love Ru

maybe i'll add Haoh, Crystal Blaze, Kannagi and Hyakko to my watch list ^_____^

Never thought Ikkitousen would be still pantsuing around into their third season. Not so familiar with the other new releases but looks like there's nothing or a single clue about School Rumble season 3. I'm still waiting patiently for the rumoured Tengo Tenge sequel (not the OVA), whether its a false alarm or not, we'll wait and see.

The longer I spend in college, the less time I've been spending on anime... Nowadays I only follow series by specific production studios or funny ones that are highly recommended, although perhaps not as mainstream.

I think I've been more driven to look for series that I have seen very... inspiring... doujinshi made from. I guess this means I'll be watching To Love Ru to better understand, uh, character relations.

The only anime I'm eagerly waiting for that's listed above is To Love Ru and Ryoko's case file.  The others don't give that much of an impression which is quite sad really since I've been disappointed with the animes that have been airing for the past three seasons already.  Not a whole lot of good animes to watch unlike the past year or so.

Sky Crawlers is definitely on my watch list, I love propeller driven planes (With guns and dogfights, so Allison and Lillia doesn't appeal me too much from what I've seen yet). Will give Tetsuwan Birdy a try too ^^

There seems to be something fascinating about the german language for japanese people, you see germa
