Summer Season Anime plotting!

I sweat like a pig, there's nothing cool on TV and I started to get bi-coloured-- IT MUST BE SUMMER!
My most hated season comes with new anime releases!
Here's my TO-WATCH list for this year. My picks are those CIRCLED IN RED. An ? marks the series that I may consider to watch if I find them intriguing enough.
--I may also consider to watch those marked with >3>, but those series feel very easy to bring me down if not well-done >_>;

So, the third series of Natsume Yuujin Cho ♥, Nyanpire and N°6 are definitely there :D What about you guys?

As usual, original chart comes from Chartfag :D

I still have to make up my mind, but No. 6, Usagi Drop, BakaTest (totally love previous stuff) and Natsume (<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3) are totally on my must watch list. On another note, SACRED SEVEN totally looks like a wannabe Code Geass D; Trying way too hard, Sunrise, but I think I will watch the first ep to check it out.

BakaTest is any good? I just ignored it 'cause the idea of stupid protagonist+moe harem just makes me want to throw up--
NATSUME ♥! I was surprised to see him there! I'm so glad ;o; <3
AHAH, yeah, my same thought XDD But I'll give a try to Sacred Seven too, 'cause anime with mecha stupidity tend to intrigue me :D

[identity profile] piccu.livejournal.com 2011-06-28 11:52 am (UTC)(link)
I'll be honest, when I first read the summary of BakaTest I thought it sounded so dumb, but I'm glad I gave it a try. It's hilarious and not really harem-ish! There are a lot of BL jokes and one of the running jokes is that the main chara actually even prefers the cute trap Kinoshita Hideyoshi 8DD

[identity profile] tomoe-daeva.livejournal.com 2011-06-28 01:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Is that so :o ? I'll watch the first episodes to get an idea--

--LOL, "Kinoshita Hideyoshi" XD

[identity profile] forchancookie.livejournal.com 2011-06-27 10:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh! I didn't know we were getting another season of Natsume! Yay! Now I'm excited!

And I have to watch Nyanpire.

Also going to watch Nurarihyon. I might poke at some of those others, but those three I'll watch for sure. :D

[identity profile] tomoe-daeva.livejournal.com 2011-06-28 10:22 am (UTC)(link)
Neither I do!!! It's awesome, I'm so happy ;o; <3<3<3<3<3
I want more Natsume/Kaname and Natori/Natsume, FUFUFUFUFU!!!

Nyanpire looks like something that a Forchy would love ;o; <3 I considered to buy something about him for you when I was in Japan, but its stuff was even less financially approachable than Totoro's XDDD

Nurarihyon looks cool-- But I'm somehow hesitant to follow it. Looks too much like a typical Shounen Jump series XD

[identity profile] forchancookie.livejournal.com 2011-06-28 10:29 am (UTC)(link)
So much potential pretty and more slashiness ♥

Nurarihyon didn't get very good reviews when it came out, but I poked at it and then I started reading the manga and I enjoyed it. I get annoyed with the main character now and then, but it's still fun. It is your typical Shounen type series with powers and battles. I think you can draw clear lines between what you'll get. You'll either get humory stuff with the human friends or all the cool stuff and ass kicking with the demons. That's probably a crappy description, but Forchy is tired.

[identity profile] tomoe-daeva.livejournal.com 2011-06-28 10:33 am (UTC)(link)
I see!
Awww, poor Forchy should be asleep, then ;3; <3

[identity profile] forchancookie.livejournal.com 2011-06-28 10:45 am (UTC)(link)
*snuggles* If Dae ever felt like seeing what Nurarihyon was about, Forchy would suggest the manga first. But isn't that usually how it goes? XD

Ok, now I'm sleeping. *blows kisses*

[identity profile] tomoe-daeva.livejournal.com 2011-06-28 10:47 am (UTC)(link)
Well, I usually watch the anime first ('cause it's coloured and it moves, LOL XD), then if I like it enough I read the manga too.
Anyway, I don't think that it's something that I may like :/ I'm watching Ao no Exorcist and I don't wanna watch too many similar anime :/

Goodnightie ;0; <3

[identity profile] xxxholic-wing.livejournal.com 2011-06-28 12:24 am (UTC)(link)
Definitely watch...

*Blood-C- since it's CLAMP and I also love the Blood+ series
*Dantalian no Shoka- I read the manga and it's very interesting
*No. 6- I read the manga too and the story looks interesting

I'll just see check Blade on the 1st episode and probably Sacred Seven, if it's really good enough.

Here's an extensive overview on the Summer 2011 chart:

Oh oh, I still need to watch Kami Nomi zo Shiru Sekai 2 and Ao no Exorcist. ;_;

Ha ha, R-15 sounds like it could be fun (only the description of it makes me chuckle...p0rn skills), so I might gonna check out the first episode of it. I'm definitely going to watch Nyanpire (I just need to find out which group is going to sub it)! =D

[identity profile] tomoe-daeva.livejournal.com 2011-06-28 10:24 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, in fact I could give it a try as long as it doesn't exceed my yearly moe quota.
Also, Nyanpire <3 I need a thousand vampire kitties in my home, now ;o; <3

At first I thought you wrote "bi-curious". XD

As for your list - I might give "Appleseed XIII" a try, but after quickly checking out the raw version of the first episode I'm in no rush.

[identity profile] tomoe-daeva.livejournal.com 2011-06-28 01:27 pm (UTC)(link)
=__=
(XD)

Yeah, that's what I mean! When people try to make remakes of classic stuff to make it more actual and cool, it's as if they remove all that good "soul" out of the original thing :/ !

I've never seen the 1988 OAV (supposedly it's nothing special), so I don't really care if the new versions remake it or whatnot. As for the manga, I'm only familiar with the first two volumes as the other two were never released here, so I can't really compare it to the new films/series.

The 2004 and 2008 films were okay but nothing I would care to see again and the weird graphics didn't help either. The pilot episode of the new series doesn't look any better, it's even slightly worse. But perhaps the plot will be better this time around, having more time to develop characters and events. We'll have to wait and see.

I'd like to hope the series will have a few of those "shock and awe" moments like the films did, that could actually be good enough a reason to watch it.

[identity profile] tomoe-daeva.livejournal.com 2011-06-28 04:18 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm not familiar with anything about this series, but I'm used to hear from my other otaku friends that the only thing that matters is the manga, which is awesome, and any movie/anime attempt failed miserably-- So I don't know XD But I'm not extremely intrigued by the genre perse.

I can only judge by the not so great*) 1998/99 Polish edition, but even despite its shortcomings I enjoyed it a lot and have fond memories of it after all these years. It's just too bad nobody ever released the whole thing - there were some talks in 2005 when the first film played in our cinemas, but nothing came out of it.

The films, well... They weren't bad per se, but nothing spectacular either. However, each of the two films has this one scene that made them worth watching: in the first film it's the hologram, in the second one it's the little girl in the street. I saw the first film in the cinema twice and both times during the hologram scene everyone in the audience was holding their breath, you could hear a pin drop; the second film I saw at home and the girl scene left me staring blankly at the screen with my jaw dropped for good 10-15 seconds. While I wouldn't recommend those films on their own merit, I would still say they are worth checking out just for those two scenes.

_______________
*) Only two out of four volumes were released, both split into two parts; volume 1 was split in the middle of a chapter; chapter titles were all removed with one or two exceptions; the dialogues were (quite faithfully) translated from the English edition; the paper quality was far from perfect; all pages were mirror-flipped; there were quite a few typos here and there. But the first part of volume 1 had these three pages, which was more than enough to convince me to buy it. XD BTW, this was the very first manga I've ever bought - all thanks to B&W drawn titties! XD

--This discussion is making me curious... I'd like to read/watch it... I wonder if scanlations are available around :3 ...
m3n747: (Default)

[personal profile] m3n747 2011-06-30 08:08 am (UTC)(link)
Both films can be obtained the usual way; as for the manga I can upload the whole thing for you if you'd like. :)

[identity profile] tomoe-daeva.livejournal.com 2011-06-30 10:35 am (UTC)(link)
I found the scanlations online: http://manga.animea.net/appleseed.html ;D

Going to give it a read as I have some free time ;D

Okay, let me know how you like it. :)

[identity profile] tomoe-daeva.livejournal.com 2011-06-30 11:12 am (UTC)(link)
Surething!
I'll probably mention it in some manga/anime-related post :D

[personal profile] m3n747 2011-06-30 11:16 am (UTC)(link)
Okay! :) Just a word of warning - like pretty much everything by Masamune Shirow, this manga is rather full of futuristic technical jargon; but having read A Clockwork Orange I think you can handle it! XD

--Don't worry, I was pretty much into SciFi in my young days :D

[identity profile] ardrak.livejournal.com 2011-06-30 12:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Appleseed XIII! E sto ancora aspettando che Supernatural The Animation sia subbato! :3
Se ti imbatti in qualche anime "maschio" o in qualche commedia esilarante informami!

[identity profile] tomoe-daeva.livejournal.com 2011-06-30 12:53 pm (UTC)(link)
a Supernatural non lo vedrai mai, perche' da quello che ho capito è stato ISTANT-COMPRATO negli USA e quindi nessuno lo ha subbato...

...Anime maschio e commedia esilarante..? Tipo "Tentai Senshi Sunred" XDD ..?

[identity profile] ardrak.livejournal.com 2011-06-30 01:17 pm (UTC)(link)
MA CAZZO NOO!!! Non lo sapevo! Lo aspettavo perchè è strepitoso... E grazie, è targato Madhouse...

Ma... MA NO, non intendevo in quel senso! XD però l'uomo tigre fa la sua figura...

[identity profile] tomoe-daeva.livejournal.com 2011-06-30 02:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Vero D: ? anch'io aspettavo i subs, pensavo non fosse ancora andato in onda ;o; ...Non so se qualche gruppo italico pero' la subbato!

[identity profile] ardrak.livejournal.com 2011-07-01 01:24 pm (UTC)(link)
In italiano hanno subbato solo i primissimi episodi... Io mi accontenterei anche dei sottotitoli in inglese ma mi sembrano ancora in alto mare. Il fatto è che è uscito da pochi mesi... :/

*is back*

[identity profile] tomoe-daeva.livejournal.com 2011-07-04 12:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Beh, è uscita a febbraio, mica tanto tempo fa... Solitamente 'ste serie le subbano appena escono, vedi T&B o StarDriver..

Leggevo piuttosto che si tratta di una serie in OAV, quindi distribuita per il circuito privato e non trasmessa in TV, forse è per quello che i subs sono lenti, perche' è difficile ottenere gli episodi originali.

[identity profile] mamuchan.livejournal.com 2011-06-30 09:42 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm definitely going to watch Natsume! It's been really good. Mostly thanks to Inoue Kazuhiko, what an amazing voice actor he is. Nyanpire looks amazing so I might have to check it out. I'm interested in Usagi Drop as well. We'll see if I really get to watch anything. (.__. )

[identity profile] tomoe-daeva.livejournal.com 2011-07-04 12:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Natsume is adorable ;o; <3

--I hope that everything on my to-watch list will be subbed adequately XD --I'm so sad that nobody loves Hyouge Mono enough to sub it past episode 5 D'x !!
