Winter 2010 Highlights - with Seiyuu casted Characters

For Winter 2010, there are only 19 new show to watch compared to 36 in the same period as last year

Many might see this as a bad thing but it ain't really that bad. Having too many like last year was just too much on my miserable schedule. But 19 is a bit short rite?

Quality over Quantity

Hopefully, this is true as I plan to set my mind to endure the lack of shows this season.
So far, its been proving true for me...

Dance in the Vampire Bund (ダンスインザヴァンパイアバンド)

Have vampires become all the rage nowadays?
First Vampire Knight, then Twilight saga, Cirque de freak and Bakemono?


But quite impressive as the first episode was really a new way of an introduction to a series.

Starting from a reality show to a fight scene on the roof while viewing it all from the perspective of the in-show audience.


A gothic and dark loli is nice for a change though.

Yuuki Aoi

 - Noel Kannagi (Sora-no-woto)

  Nakamura Yuuichi

 - Alto (Macross F)

-Tomoya (Clannad)

 Saitou Chiwa

- Senjougahara Hitagi (Bakemono)

Redi x Bado! ( れでぃ×ばと!)

Quite a confusion when the pre release and actual release of episode 1 was aired. 1 was uncensored and the other wasn't. Guess which 1 people preferred >.>


Not too bad as its another "ojou-sama" show. Expect you have butlers going to the same school as they do, causing all types of mayhem...


Wonder if this a spin off the plot of "Hayate no Gotoku"?



Starring;

Kugimiya Rie

-Shana (SnS)

Kawasumi Ayako

-Saber (Fate)

-Nodame (Nodame Cantabile)

Gotou Mai

-Yuka (11eyes)

Omamori Himari (おまもりひまり)

Not one the first shows that come to mind (or top 10 anticipated list) but still a decent series...or should I say rather "indecent"? =)


Storyline is kinda something like Natsume Yūjinchō  or Wagaya no Oinari-sama with a familiar/demon coming to his aid.


Are they running out of ideas for storylines?


But I did like the nekomimi on Himari, reminds me of Tsubasa from Bakemono =D

Starring;

Koshimizu Ami

-Kozuki Kallen (Code Geass)

Hirakawa Daisuke

-Makoto (School Days)

Nomizu Iori

-Nymph (SoraNoOto)

Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu ( バカとテストと召喚獣)

Been following the manga for sometime and found a pleasant surprise this was getting animated.

After sneaking a look at the trailer, I was near the top of my "to watch" list.

Very cute battle system/scenes used as chibi familiars do battle with your latest grade in your maths test. Haha.

Knowledge is power indeed...

Shimono Hiro

 -Takuma Higuchi (Asura Cryin')

Harada Hitomi 

-Tomoe (Sasameki Koto)

 

Taketatsu Ayana 

-Azu-nyan (K-ON).

Seikon no Qwaser ( 聖痕のクェイサー)

Welcome to the new age of censorship. Not that slowing down ecchi parts and replacing it with other scenes was old but this is a first for me in an anime... =(


Already fooling us all with the trailer, thinking it was the same as the manga...


Guess it was too good to be true.


If the censors WERE removed, it be a hit with most otakus. Why can't it follow Redi x Bado with no censors???

Either way, I'd still follow it for patronage sake for the nice cast... or go online to watch da uncensored "directors cut"

  

  Durarara!! (デュラララ!!)

It's already at the top of my "to watch" list.

Need I say more?


Well, maybe. Episode 1 was awesome with urban legends like "Ghost Rider" but without the head. =D


Other than that, they've assembled an awesome cast

Starring;(too many to list their names here... =S) 

Hidamari Sketch X Hoshimittsu (ひだまりスケッチ×☆☆☆)

Already season 3. What else is there to say about this? +)

One of those pleasant slice-of-life genre series which is bursting of moe with tsukkomi and boke.

If you liked GA: Geijutsu Art Class, you'll LOVE this. ^^

Starring;

Asumi Kana

-Kondo Mikoto (Kampfer)

Mizuha Kaori

-Aya Fujisaki (ToLoveRu)

Shintani Ryoko

-Elsa (Sacred Blacksmith)

 Goto Yuko

-Asahina Mikuru 

Hanamaru Youchien ( はなまる幼稚園)

A bit skeptical at first but kids are just too cute to pass up. =D

Think of it as "Kodomo no Jikan" alot younger but half the trouble. But marriage still included. Haha

If you've gone lolicon because of these kindergartners, I cant blame you...





Starring

Sakurai Mako

-Akiha Shihido (Sora Kake Shoujo)

Shindou Kei

-Kuro Kagami (Kodomo no Jikan)

Takagaki Ayahi

-Feldt Grace (Gundam 00)

Nodame Cantabile: Finale (のだめカンタービレ フィナーレ)

Sad it may seem as the word "finale" will bring everything to a halt.

Season 3 is hopefully less of a flop than the Paris Chapter.

Hell, who said S2 was bad? It still think it was awesome. Music wise and plotline is spot on with suddenly "mukya"s and "gyabon"s. Haha

At the end, you may start to love classical music. Cuz I do now ^^



Starring:

Kawasumi Ayako

-Saber (Fate)

Seki Tomokazu

-Yzak Joule (Gundam SEED)
