Its the time of year again when I have to decide what I’m going to watch for the next 3 months. My watch list has recently been shortened considerably as various series conclude, signaling the impending start of a new round of anime. These are the anime I’m planning to watch that start in October 2009. I’m not the biggest fan of translating names, but for the convenience of my English-speaking or non-Anime watching readers, I’ve included translations or official English names in brackets. Links go to MyAnimeList.net where you’ll be able to get a summary of each series.
- Asura Cryin’ 2
- Kimi ni Todoke (Reaching You)
- Kobato.
- Sangoku Engi (Romance of the Three Kingdoms)
- Sasameki Koto (Whispered Words)
- Seiken no Blacksmith (The Sacred Blacksmith)
- Seitokai no Ichizon (It’s Student Council’s Judgement)
- Shugo Chara!!! Dokki Doki
- Toaru Kagaku no Rail Gun (A Certain Scientific Railgun)
- White Album 2nd Season
- Yumeiro Patissiere (Dream-Colored Pastry Chef)
I’m excited about the continuations of existing series including White Album, Asura Cryin’, and Toaru Majutsu no Index’s spinoff Toaru Kagaku no Rail Gun. I have mixed feelings about Shugo Chara Dokki Doki. I loved the first two seasons, but the show was really concluded in those two seasons. I can’t imagine this third season being anything more then filler, or anime original content, which the first seasons already had their fair share of. My excitement for new shows is in particular extended to Kobato which is from CLAMP, a manga-ka group who I am a big fan of. I’m yet to watch a series by CLAMP which I haven’t enjoyed.
What are you expectations for this season? Do you have any suggestions?
