Anime
Next we take a look at some of the new anime shows for the next and future seasons.
First up is Vampire Knight - a load of nice boys who look like girls - or they could be girls that look like boys. I hear Admiral Akbar. Vampire Knight starts April 7th.
The press kit that I got says that a new series of Blue Dragon starts in April but also says that its showing now - me confused. OP below.
Natsume Yujin Cho starts in July. Not much detail on the official site and didn't see a trailer but it looks very Hagaren to me.
Special A was at the Gonzo booth - looked like one for the ladies as its full of nice looking lads.
Blassreiter by Gonzo and NitroPlus airs next month.
The director of Ghost Shell SAC and Innocence brings us The Sky Crawlers - out in theaters across Japan on the 2nd of August.
Line Barrels makes it from manga to anime. Dont know much about it but its got huge mechas and nice girlies = must watch. The trailer looked good too but I forgot to record it ^^; Airs this Autumn.
Haoh continues the Fist of the North Star series. Not sure if its set before or after but I see a nice girlie who looks like Juliet = also must watch.
Soul Eater airs 7th of April - a BONES production.
Starting in April is Library War, Allison and Lillia and Oinarisama. Allison and Lillia PV below. Girls and planes - count me in.
Disney wants in with Robo Crosser - due in spring 2009!
More handsome lads in Kyo kara Mao - Airs on April 3rd. Dont know anything about this show but a search on YouTube brings up an OP for the "second season" below.
The Ikkitousen trailer they had showing looked pretty much like a hentai video...
Ryoko's Case File makes it to anime - airs this summer.
More Soul Eater goodies.
Cant wait until next week for To Love Ru. "Oppai Banzai" as they say in this part of the woods.
Necro Dragon - no relevant search results...
Xamdou another BONES show.
Hmmm. Most of these shows are manga > Anime just like this one - title is Kannnagi.
Has nice girlies which cant be a bad thing.
And a lookie at the manga version.
Disneys Hatsune Mickey.
Lighting was quite dark which my camera (or I) cant handle very well orz.
Crystal Blaze airs next month. Guns and naked girls? Sounds good to me. PV below.
Some 3D show by RedRover called Dandy. Merchandise looks cool ^^;
Tetsuwan Birdy that we talked about yesterday.

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.

Half new series and half returning series, not sure which is better @_@

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. ^^

I will gladly watch Soul Eater and To Love Ru once they come out...

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.

I hope we get something as good as Death Note this year. :)

Cool, thanks for the update Danny. Most of these are on my watch list, hopefully this year will go from a few good animes to alot. 2007 was a sick year, don't know if this year will beat it though.

thanks danny. very informative.
looking forward to Blassreiter, Alison and Lilia, and Soul Eater.
Still not sure about To Love Ru

Some of those look interesting.
But that Vampire Knights stuff just looks like Zombie (S)Loan, the characters are the same!

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)

from a glance without watching the PVs, i must say that i was immediately attracted to Ryoko's Case File. dang...Ryoko does has a fine nice pair of..........legs

Watched all trailers now and I must say that the Allison & Lilia's trailer has given me a little Miyazaki's feeling.
I bet this one will do well.

The Sky Crawlers animation reminds me of The Last Exile which can't be a bad thing.

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.

At first glance the only one that makes me wanna take a second look is Allison and Lillia.

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.

Do i see that there is another (3rd) season coming of Zero no Tsukaimi?! I'm definitely gonna watch that.
And i'm so looking forward to Soul Eater and Tetsuwan Birdy.
Can't wait.....

Lots of good stuff by the looks of it, maybe too much too follow all at once though. I'll decide when the fansubs start coming ^^

all of those shows on my watch list...
though won't have much time to complete all of them within this year...
i'm still swamped with so many of the other anime titles and now new ones are just flooding the market...*SIGH*...

Let's see if the content matches the promotion, but I've got to say there could be little wrong with an anime with a De Havilland Tiger Moth in it.
Watcher
Wow there's nothing up there I want to watch.....
Wow Natsume Yujin Cho colors theme remind me of Full Metal Alchemist.
Nevertheless I'm delighted that there are many cool looking animes coming up.
(The anime in the past months were boring to me)

College Student
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.
Professional Writer
Well uh, interesting really, Blue Dragon is airing in the US already, that must be why it says it's on now and will also be out in April.... weird for a show to start here instead of Japan...
Woke up to it on TV really... strange...
Otaku student

The only anime im after is To Love ru, Vampire knight and sould eater^^
Y isn't Code Geass R2 ere? it deserve to be on the list xDDD.

OMG! I'm so waiting for Necro Dragon. Special A looks kwel I wonder if it follows the manga strictly. And they actually have a mickey version of Miku?. Totally swwweeeet!

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.

Oh...and what I wouldn't give for those anime posters there...especially the Ikkitousen and To Love Ru posters. :D I wish they'd sell those
Sky Crawlers looks brilliant.

for some reason when i look at the blue dragon pic i get a feeling its going to be a flop....it looks too much like another 'DBZ' not to say that DBZ wasnt cool. it was cool but the storyline was way retarded.
but i could be wrong......

I'm waiting for Soul Eater but there seems to be alot of anime showing eyes this coming month... Most of these anime needs to be on my watchlist~

Hatsune Mickey... ROFL

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 german words and phrases a lot in anime. They don't make any sense most of the time ( I loled hard when Rin casted her spells in Fate/Stay
Night), "Drossel von Flügel" next to Hatsune Mickey doesn't make sense, Gedächtnis = memory.

I'm waiting for Zero No Tsukaima Season 3, and recently i read some news about the Blade Of The Immortal TV Anime airing this year. It was about time....the manga version was great and i never lost hope that a TV Anime would have been adapted.

Wow, I just took a look at my spreedsheet of Anime that I'm watching (easy way to keep track of things) and I have added 14 new shows to my watch list.

i must say Necro Dragon intrigues me just because theres not much info about it. Now I'll have to make little notes in my desk to watch out for all these new shows. Thanks for the heads up Danny

I'm only waiting for vampire knight...the anime doesn't look so good, but i like the manga so i guess i'll try it..>_>
ひきこもり/Hikikomori. Suits my current state more than a 大学生/University Student. ^^
Zero no Tsukaima: Princesses no Rondo! I can hardly wait~!
I really want to see what implication does the event in episode 12 hold for their relationship~ ^^

Just got back from the first public day and I'm exhausted and my back hurts from all the free bags & goodies ^^;
I must say it was awesome, although there were just a little bit too much people. And when they all start crawling through each other with those bags, it can get messy ;p
Looking at your post, it seems I missed some stuff, but because of all those people, it's easy to miss. Saw many shows I'd like to see.
I'm especially looking forward to Tetsuwan Birdy, since I liked the original OVA very much. And the updated Birdy looks good as well ;p
Actually you can take a lot of pictures on the public days, most of the no-photographs signs where next to tv screens. And thank the nice folks at Good Smile for letting us take pictures of (most of) all the figures ;p

Must watch To Love Ru! Would gladly buy the DVD if they released it in the US, but for now I must rely on fansubs.

"To Love Ru" & "Special A" are already on my watch list ^^
All Gonzo anime I will pass. Most of their anime have very anti-climatic endings so I will just save my time and not watch any of it.
But the anime by BONES I will surely watch. I'm still suffering from withdrawal symptoms after the ending of Darker than Black.

Most looks interesting, hope I have enough time!!

Being the stupid Hinagiku fanboy that I am the 2nd season of Hayate no Gotoku! is on my watch list for sure.
Blassreiter, To Love Ru, The Sky Crawlers and Allison and Lillia look promising as well.

Oh, I forgot to mention the new season of Code Geass. That's on my watch list as well. :)

Hurray.
This season of anime has been ridiculously boorish and stale with only a few meager series drawing my interest. And with the final episode of Gundam OO ending it's first season, I revert back to dramas. However even then dramas are following the same formula of deriving it's show from mangas with less than satisfactory adaptations.
The manga for Vampire Knight is surprisingly decent so I can see great potential in the series.
Line Barrels gets animated? Ooooo.

Next time, please add the anime titles to the poll.
I don't think I'll add any of these to my watch list yet. Too much.
