San Goku · 13-11-2008, 10:23 PM

Shouldn't Afro be R-18 too, looking forward to that. Anyone knows when shippuuden 2 comes out again.

Haohmaru · 13-11-2008, 10:25 PM

Definite watches:
Hajime no Ippo 2
Birdy the Mighty season 2
Afro Samurai Resurrection
xxxHolic/TRC OVA
Seto no Hanayome OVA 2
Kemono no Soja Erin (from the writer of Serei no Moribito. Also done by I.G)
Kara no Kyoukai

Maybe:
Ride Back
Tower of Druaga season 2
Slayers season 2
Kurokami

eddieson · 14-11-2008, 12:53 AM

Have to check out
Birdy the Mighty
Tower of Druaga
Bleach Movie
Biohazard movie
Kurokami

Possibly
Maria Holic
Queen's Blade
White Album

and I really do not see the point in making a Chocolate Underground movie.

Raug · 14-11-2008, 01:10 AM

Marimite 4! I'll look through the rest when I get bored of *unsaid mmo*.

ZrKen · 14-11-2008, 01:42 AM

Afro and Tower of Druaga are top of my list

**Nite** · 14-11-2008, 02:07 AM

This upcoming season doesn't look as interesting as the last 2 seasons we got:

Initial watch list:

Kara no Kyoukai
Seto no Hanayome OVA2
The Tower of Druaga ~the Sword of Uruk~
Hajime no Ippo
Birdy the Mighty Decode

Maybe list:

Kurokami
Z Mazinger (even though I haven't been able to get into any of the other Mazinger series)
Akikan (summary just screams Kannagi)
Minami-ke

The only Mazinger show on the web is Mazinkaiser right? I recently watched it, its a decent watch if you wanna learn some backstory, otherwise its just some typical super robot action with some good animation.

Lord Namvel · 14-11-2008, 04:00 PM

i've seen the teaser for "afro samurai: resurrection", looks better than the first ova. birdy cartoon looks interesting. can't wait for next year.

**Syfer Van Hyden** · 23-11-2008, 09:05 PM

Looking fwd to Hajime no Ippo new series and looking f***ing fwd to Biohazard: Degeneration CGI film.

Atemesk · 27-11-2008, 06:17 PM

Nope, my thought processes went like this:

A - nothing, sorry
game - hmm, wonder if this'll be like .hack
programmer - ohh hey, I'm a programmer

Around that point I figured it might be interesting, so I'll give it a chance.

Kraker2k · 29-11-2008, 11:39 AM

Mika-kun · 01-12-2008, 04:54 AM

krozar · 12-12-2008, 02:45 AM
