New anime season.
This one's a little different. Not a lot of cute girls doing cute things. Instead we got not one, not two but
three giant robot shows.
From an experienced writing and directing crew, and a studio nobody has heard of,
Majestic Prince which is retro as fuck, focuses on the humor and dynamic between the cast and has a gorgeous op.
From the writer of
Code Geass (A very bad series in a very good way) and
Planetes (A very good series in a very good way) and studio Sunrise responsible for
Gundam:
Valvrave the Liberator. This one has a huge budget and seems to involve nanomachine vampires or some stupid shit like that. Promises to be if not very good, at least pretty entertaining.
And last of the three, and definitely the best from the premiere,
Suisei no Gargantia written by Urobochi 'Urobutcher' Gen of
Madoka/
Fate/Zero fame. Is visually stunning and brimming with potential, but may adhere to
certain themes as it gets further in.
Also airing this season is
Attack on Titan. Based on a sleeper hit fantasy manga about humanity in the far future being holed up in a castle-city and living in fear of omnomnoming titans. It's being produced with a massive budget and by the director of
Death Note and the studio behind
Ghost in the Shell SAC amongst others.
Personally I'm most looking forward to the sequel to
A Certain Scientific Railgun which premiered earlier today and hasn't been subtitled yet. I watched the first series over the last week or so and I found it to be very surprisingly enjoyable.
And that's me done.
Also I'm finally getting round to watching
Kiki's Delivery Service (It's by Miyazaki. You can be interested without losing coolness points) tomorrow. I'm looking forward to it a lot.
