Fall Season 2008 Preview

I think this season is going to be good. I like the line up so far. Here comes the introductory write up for this season.
I have watched three episodes of each.

To aru Majitsu no Index

This series started out pretty good. A girl with no memories prior to her being Japan. Running away from the enemy ending up on the balcony railing of an apartment. Touma, a low level high school student, tries to “rescue” a girl from a group of men hitting up on her. But, in the end he is being chased by the guys and he and the girl fight off the guys. They end up fighting each other and his unique talents are displayed.
It seems it like the usual a guy finds an lost girl and it starts from there, but this has a similar ring to this series. I’ll keep watching this because Index is crazy.

Rosario to Vampire Capu2

This series is way different from the manga. This second season introduces Moka’s little sister Kokoa. I think that’s about it. This is a train that wont crash onto another train, but a wall. I want to see if Tsukune gets more interaction with Moka’s other self as in the manga, I can only hope. I’ll keep watching this ruinous show just because I like the characters in action, not the story.

Clannad~After Story~

I like how this season has started. More hilarious Sunohara action and more Mrs Furukawa ( Kikuo Inoue ). She finally says “I am seventeen years old.” line. It’s her trademark. Now is the Sunohara/Sister arc I guess and to see what happens in episode four. I can’t wait, how much I like Key and KyoAni.

Toradora

After seeing the end of the third season of Zero no Tsukaima, I wanted to see more Louise type of action. It is not just plain mean tsundere behavior, but a simpler cool reaction with crazy outbursts of insanity. I like the mold being broken on Ryuuji, he looks like a killer but is a very responsible guy who takes care of his ditzy Mom after his father died. Then after his encounter with Taiga, he looks after her too. They both like other people and group up to get what they think they want. So, I’ll keep an eye on this cool/insane romantic comedy.

Kannagi: Crazy Shrine Maidens

After a long time spent carving this statue from a God Tree, he rests and remembers he has to get to class. He drags it around trying to figure out how to put it on his bike, something strange happens. a girl breaks out from the wood and calls herself Nagi. She is the god of the city in the form of a human that is living in the same house with him. You have to see what happens next with the Art Club and Akiba-kun. Yes, I like how this is going.

Yozakura Quartet

I first spotted this a manga from my local bookstore and thought it was interesting enough to buy it.Then after looking up the Japanese website, I found out they were going to make an Anime from the manga after only releasing three volumes. It took a lot of patience to finally start to see the Anime gaining momentum. Need to see how this goes, waiting for volume three here in the US.
