Fall 2009 Anime PreviewFollow

More Shakugan no Shana is good for me, though I think this is just an OVA. Anyone know when the real third season is supposed to be coming?

Not much else is really that interesting to me, though I watched the first couple of episodes of Kampfer the other day. It's hilariously awful. It's like it really wants to be a magical girl series even though it knows it isn't. (also, neither of Natsuru's voices sound anything like what I pictured, and normal mode Akane is a total hentai nutcase.)

I thought Inuyasha had already ended (and not just the manga)... was I wrong?

I just saw pictures of Fairy Tail. I knew the title, and originally thought it was some CLAMP gooey loli story, but it looks more like a mix of Groove Adventure Rave / One Piece. So ... I take back what I said. I'll give that one a chance. Might start reading the manga as well.

Update: I went ahead and read the first chapter. Kind of a monster weighing in at about 80 pages, but Fairy Tail seems like the type of anime/manga that could go on like the current Big Three (Naruto/Bleach/One Piece). That's not to say it will, as Soul Eater had the same potential, and it's manga is still going, but I will say I did enjoy the first chapter and look forward to the anime.

Update 2: Watched the first episode. WTF is Plue doing all over the intro? I guess I was right that it has something to do with Rave; Not sure if its the same people doing both series or if there actually is a connection between the two, but overall I did enjoy what I saw. I will continue watching. It, so far, fits my tastes in anime. Action/Comedy. I just hope that it doesn't follow the whole Dragonball/Naruto/Bleach trend of starting off humorous and then turning fully SERIOUS BUSINESS later in the series. I hate when that happens.

Have some Plue.
