Anime Season in Japan, Second Quarter

[Nestor]

Either hurry up and learn Japanese or start pestering your local fansub groups. This season seems to be making up for the terrible first quarter; what with failures like Solty Rei, Black Cat, and Mai Otome. of course, this last season did bring us Rozen maiden Traumend. In any case, knock yourselves out.

i've seen that list awhile ago..the titles that i can't wait to see include:

Ouran Kokou host club - loved the manga can't wait for the anime
NANA - loved both manga and live action really want to see the anime
Aria the natural - loved the first one and i really love the artwork
Gakuen Heaven - seems to be another shounen-ai series i can watch ^-^
xxxholic - i like the manga so hopefully i'll like the anime

 

[Naosuki Yuki]

Anime this year seems a bit stale.

The only thing I really look forward to is Kanon in the fall.
Tsubasa and xxxHOLIC ranks high on my list.. but other than that, I'll probably stick to Naruto and Bleach for another half year.

 

[mysticangel]

so far into the season i've seen most of the ones i wanted to watch.

gakuen heaven is another shounen-ai series and i love the artwork so far.

host club was a lil' disappointing since it left some good scenes out that was in the manga but i'll still watch it.

nana episode one is good...so far its following the movie with a bit more humor so i like it.

saw the promo for xxxholic and i'm looking foward to seeing this series also since i liked the manga.

----------

i'm also curious about the new kanon series that is suppose to be coming out. I really loved the original one its my number one in romance series so i'm hoping they don't screw this up.

i also heard that clannad is suppose to be in the making so i want to see that too.

Yes I agree. I don't want to see any of those I guess I will stick to watching the older animes until there is something that interests me. :-\
