This show has animation quality like I’d expect to see in a Ghibli movie or something. Amazing. To bad the company that licensed it had to be BV, but oh well…
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.
I wasn’t originally planning on watching True Tears until I saw some reviews of the first episode on other blogs. Given that they seemed to be raving about it, and given that I was somewhat disappointed with the first episode of H2O, I thought I would pick up another visual novel-based romance series. In the end, I’m glad I did because so far after two episodes, True Tears is beginning to look like one of the better and more compelling series of the Winter season.
This series of course has your obligatory 3 main girls of different types, and of course you have to have the tomboy girl, the weird girl, and the shy, reserved girl, but then again, that’s part of what makes series like this interesting: taking each of those character types and revealing that they may not be all that they appear to be.
In any case, this series appears to have quite a bit of potential, and of course the requisite weirdness.
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!
