Anyone watching any of the new Spring anime?

List here or in the spoiler below

I think some series look quite interesting, mainly House of Five Leave, Yojo-han Shinwa Taikei and Hakuouki. I'll probably check them out eventually. House of Five Leaves is done by manglobe, the same guys who did Samurai Champloo and Ergo Proxy, so thats highest on my list. Urgh, K-ON got a second season. Kill me. That crap is dire. And why the hell are new seasons of Da Capo still being made? It's the same thing all over again. They've ruined it.

I still haven't finished EyeShield 21 because I know when I finish it I'm going to be so pessimistic. It has honestly been one of my favourite anime, ever. I dont know why, but everything seems to blend together right. The story, voice acting, music, art and basically everything else. The music is what I love the most though, every single piece is situated so right for each person and situated.
Kurita is a big, jolly fellow (Imagine a Japanese Mikey from Recess who is slightly tan) and this is his theme. They even have these real emotional scenes and they play it. Man


I've got about 30 episodes left and then about 30 chapters of Manga that continues and ends the series. The series ended due to not pulling enough sales. It pisses me off how good, intresting anime/manga get pulled early when they are so much better than stuff like Naruto.

@Neversoft - Ring ni Kakero 1 and Giant Killing are the two I'm interested in. I dont know why but I've been taking a huge favoring to Sports anime.

ive seen the One Piece recap ova which was pretty crap was a bonus on a cd so wasn't expecting much.

I'll have to have a wee look at them ad see if any intrest me. want a few weekly shows to watch since its only FMA and OP at the moment.

Seriously how do you get inside a Narutards head. apparently OP is rubbish for some of the unrealistic things they do in the show.. Looks at talking animals and gliding in the air in naruto yeah ¬.¬

Oh, MAL's Top Anime list is undergoing another change. Seems The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya will be first soon. Once Evangelion 2.0 is released on DVD I think the score will boost right up as well, seeing as how many people are waiting for the DVD over the camrip. I tell ya, that damn list is like a soap opera.

I'm unbelievably hyped to see it in blu-ray quality. The animation is seriously mind blowing. Some of the scenes are just so wonderful to look at, not just because of how detailed and crisp the animation is, but because of the amount of movement, colour and just how brilliantly the scenes are constructed. The movies really are worlds apart from the series. Gainax know how to get things done. Aparrently the movies have been such a success that they're not limiting the budget on 3.0 and are hiring new staff as well as keeping all of the original staff to up the production quality. I can't wait to see what the final two movies and the great minds behind the franchise have to offer.

Movie Previews: Beautiful World Version 2, Beautiful World Version 2A, Beautiful World Version 2B

deciding on what version to buy tho american or uk. UK one is just plastic and the american one has nice box hmm.

wonder if the japanese will have 5.1 sound. need to get me some surrund speakers need to find a good set.

[Neversoft]

1.0 is good, but 2.0 is one hundred times better. What is it on about Beautiful World in the movie previews anyway? Beautiful World is the name of the ending credits song by Utada Hikaru. It's such a good song.

I wish they'd start taking anime seriously over here and air it in cinemas like they do in Japan.
