Okay, folks, I’m sorry I was so late on this– real life got in the way. (WTF!)

I should note that this time, I adjusted the premiere dates/times to what actually makes sense. See, Moon Phase will generally say that a show starts at, say, “25:30 on Friday, April 4th,” which I had in the past said was “1:30am on Friday, April 4th.” That time should actually be 1:30am on Saturday, April 5th, and I’ve done it all correct this time.

Okay, so! Cheatsheet is coming a bit later, and for the full preview, hit the jump! Continue Reading »

AkibaBlog has a YouTube video of the preview shown at winter ComiKet for Kamen no Maid Guy, the Madhouse adaptation of the manga of the same name about…a guy. Who’s a maid. But not just any guy! He’s like, a wrestling pro or something. I forget, and I don’t have time to look it up right now, but you’ll get the gist from watching the preview:

It kinda sounds like they stole the music from Pirates of the Caribbean, but it looks like it’ll be good fun.

The third and final chunk of my fall 2007 preview is now up! So sit down, go through part one and part two, and then tell me what you’ll be watching this fall.

Here’s my list of stuff to at least check out: Bamboo Blade, Blue Drop, Dragonaut, Genshiken 2, Goshuushou-sama Ninomiya-kun, Jyuushin Enbu, Kidou Senshi Gundam 00, KimiKiss, Kodomo no Jikan (duh!), Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro, Minamike, Moyashimon, Night Wizard, Prism Ark, Rental Magika, Shinrei Kari / Ghost Hound, Shion no Oh, Shugo Chara!, Sketchbook ~full color’s~, Suteki Tantei Labyrinth. That’s 20 out of 32 shows…no doubt I’ll wind up dropping a fair few (and maybe picking up series that don’t yet look interesting to me).

TWO NOTES: first, check back in later tonight for a fall season preview handy-dandy schedule card thingie, for if you want an easy reference (or are too lazy to read the entire season preview).

Second, I’m going to be switching to a new layout very soon. (If any of you were browsing this morning you may have even got a sneak peek!) I have a couple of things I need to tweak to have it ready, but I think you guys’ll like it. XD

So now that it’s mid-September, it’s time for my usual season preview, right?

Well, folks, this time around I’m posting the preview over at Japanator. There’s a lot of shows (32) and Jtor has no multi-page option, so I’m doing it in three sections throughout the weekend. Part one is already up, with part two coming tomorrow, probably middayish, and the final section on Sunday morning.

And for you loyal readers here, I’ll have a special bonus: a watching schedule, for those of you living in Japan or who just want to know when to start whining for your fansubs. ;) The schedule will include the primary broadcast, studio, and a one-liner to describe the series– so be sure to check out the preview at Japanator for all the rest of the gossip and goodies (and, of course, pictures).
