Picture Perfect Paranoia

Here it again, folks. Taking a break from the fiasco of the Odex saga and Taro Aso for PM coverage, we now turn our attention to the medium we love most (well, at least I think so :P). Do note that the summer season went unspectacular, so the stale listing have left a bad taste.

Well, let’s hope that we have a more satisfying viewings this season. This list may change due to this blogger’s taste in visual entertainment.

• 02.10.2007 till 25.12.2007
  D.C. II (Da Capo II)
  Genre: Drama, Romance, Harem, Fantasy, Comedy

1. Wow. It looks like the DC franchise hasn’t been saturated yet. With the underwhelming performance of DCSS (no thanks to the machination of one unfavorable candidate), the wheels of sequels to this popular game have been turning.

• 02.10.2007
  BAMBOO BLADE
  Genre: Comedy, Sports

1. Hmm, an unlikely combination of genre, unless the veterans can refresh me when this has happened before. And I thought…. nope, no harem.

• 03.10.2007
  Myself ; Yourself
  Genre: Romance

1. A romance genre in the lot, huh? We’ll see how this turns out, since I’m no fan of the genre, personally.

• 05.10.2007
  Shakugan no Shana II - Second
  Genre: Fantasy, Action, Romance

1. I’m personally worried of this one because, after all, we all knew how the second Zero no Tsukaima, not to mention the last spinoff/sequels of the Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoda ended. This could just be my gut reaction, though

• 05.10.2007
  Clannad
  Genre: School, Romance

1. I’ve heard of the way KyotoAnimation has done excellent and fluid animation before (Kanon and Air, to name a few), so I’m sure this might turn to be a true adaptation to the Key franchise

• 07.10.2007
  Maple Story

1. Don’t tell me this isn’t true. o.O

• 10.10.2007 till 26.12.2007
  Genshiken - Second Season
  

1. VIVA LA OTAKU! Finally the sequels that is to be deserved of our interests.

We’ll see how this turns out, still.

• 11.10.2007
  Kodomo no Jikan
  Genre: Moe, Comedy, Romance, Ecchi

1. Hehe. We’ll se how those censors react to this. Will there be mosaics and image blurs in this one, as this deals with one issue we otaku are “particularly sensitive” to.

• xx.10.2007
  Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion - Second Season
  Genre: Mecha, Action, Sci-Fi, Drama

1. Still in the speculative phase, eh?

• 15.09.2007
  Clannad Movie
  Genre: School, Romance

1. Wait, so there’s going to be a TV series, and a movie, all in the same season? o.o

The original list is credited to Mephisto2k.

Hmm. Looks like there are quite a few (as well as controversial) materials worth viewing this season.
