Anime Credits - Baccano & Shigofumi EDs

I really like this one (sorry about the subs):

Speaking of Baccano, I still haven’t finished watching it.  Not sure why. I think it’s because I got behind, and I was waiting for it to finish, but no one seems to be in a hurry to sub the OVAs.

And I tried to think of one to complement it, and this is the best I could think of (that I haven’t already posted):

And don’t forget to check out past ones too.  A lot of times I’m like “I’ll post that!” before realizing that…I’ve already posted it.  I occasionally go through and make sure they reference valid files in case they’re deleted.

Bandai Visual licenses Shigofumi, True Tears

That was fast. Too bad this means that more money will be leaving my pocket to get these series. Also means I lose two series to watch fansubbed since I quit watching once they’re licensed. At least they’ll be coming out pretty soon - reportedly the discs will start being released in May.

First Thoughts: Shigofumi

Shigofumi immediately started off looking like it may be the class of the Winter season. A fascinating story (a girl and her sapient staff sidekick deliver letters from those who have died - a person’s last words), good production value, and an interesting story (Nice Rocket?) made this first episode rather memorable. I’m definitely digging this series and can’t wait to see more.

My only question is whether this is going to be a single coherent series, or whether it’s going to be a series of shorter stories, lasting, say 2 or 3 episodes each. I could see it going either way, especially given how the first episode went.

Winter 2008 Anime Preview

It’s that time again: It’s time to look at what anime is airing in the Winter 2008 season. I’m listing these in alphabetical order.

There are 6 levels of ratings that I’ll give a show this season:

  • Will definitely blog it
  • Will definitely watch it
  • May watch it
  • May watch it if I hear good things about it
  • Probably Won’t Watch it
  • Won’t watch it

I won’t include a “may blog it” category this time because I already know what I’m going to blog in this season.

As usual, I’m also going to leave out sequels to series that I haven’t seen yet, as well as anything that seems to obviously be a children’s show. As usual, thanks to the Fansub Wiki for keeping a great list of upcoming shows.

Now that I’ve gotten that out of the way…here we go!
