So, right now in Japan is Hina Matsuri no Hi and “Justice Gakuen” Akira’s birthday. Yes, I’d rather be the poor sap holding all of the things the girl bought and I definitely wouldn’t mind doing this for Akira. Ha ha ha! Ahem!
Anyway, I might as well give my best wishes to Akira, even though she’ll never get them. The closest task would be giving those wishes to Tezuka Chiharu-san or to Capcom. That’s it.
Spring is coming up and I figured that I should prepare for the season. Spring is my favorite season of the year now these days because of the honest temperature and this is weird coming from a guy born in July. Summer used to be my favorite season as a kid, but when I got older, summer didn’t do much for me and it still doesn’t because I don’t look forward to my birthdays anymore.
What I’m doing right now is looking over the various anime series that’ll appear later this month and the rest of spring. There’s that and I’m analyzing how far will the Giants go this season. It’s been around five years since they were last in the playoffs, but this year, that’ll change given the changes they conducted.
Unlike winter, spring will actually have a good amount of series to look forward to. The only way I won’t watch these series is if Media Factory is involved in any of them. So far, it seems like I’m watching no series with them involved.
Seeing that yakyuu is coming up in both America and Japan as well as Canada, I’m going to watch “Oofuri“. There’s that and I grew up with baseball as I mentioned earlier how far the Giants will go this season. I’m also looking forward to “Hayate” seeing that it’s cute and “Gurren-Lagann” just because it has some cute girl named Youko.
Up to this point, I scratched off my list “Blue Dragon“. I don’t like the seiyuu changes and I was never a fan of Toriyama Akira-san’s art. “Devil May Cry“: I have a feeling that it’ll be horrid, which is why I scratched that off my list. I made a mistake in watching the “KoF” anime and I don’t want to make that same mistake here.
When I heard about “Idolmaster Xenoglossia“, I wondered if making an anime about idols raising to the top is possible. It turned out to be much different. As much as I love the seiyuu here, I never liked seiyuu changes and I now question the direction of this anime. Chupiler seems to like some parts of this, but for some reason, I can’t seem to catch on to this sci-fi move.
Whether or not I’ll scratch this off my list, I don’t know until the end of the month or so, but if I do, it’s a shame because I haven’t heard Sakurai Tomo-san’s name in like…well, forever and she was in the same boat as Shiratori Yuri-san. Oh, she’ll play as Azusa by the way. Yeah and she’s my favorite idol.
I guess that’s that? Suggest me a series that I should watch in the upcoming spring. Mata ne.
Note of 15:12: Chupiler showed me an image that shows every series for this spring. Enjoy! Ha ha ha!

Why does everyone say that DMC will be bad? Do you know who’s doing it? Madhouse,and Capcom. Madhouse is doing a great job with Death Note and did a great job with FF. Plus me being a fan girl I’m just counting down the days DMC will air. Practially had a heart attack when I heard about back in 2006. Anyways can’t wait for it. OH, and King of Fighters was also great. But like I said being a girl and if the show has a hot guy in it I’m sold. XD Everyone has their own taste.

For the record, I love Madhouse. “Cardcaptor Sakura”, “Di Gi Charat” and “Hajime no Ippo” are some of my favorite series. That’s not why I have a feeling it’ll be horrid. Neither is the fact that Capcom, which is obvious, is involved as well, even though they are not getting much attention from me these days.
The problem with action series such as this one is that you will see lots of nice action in the first episode, but then, it slowly dies out and becomes less interesting. Plus, video game-based anime series are never kind to me. Few of the good game-based series out there are “Kanon” and “Tristia”.
“King of Fighters” turned from a dream into a nightmare real quick. I thought it would go back to the beginning, but it instead jumped to the 3D series, which I never liked. Doesn’t matter anyway. I don’t play “KoF” anymore outside of the old ones.

I’m going to check out IM@S Xenoglossia. I’m still very much irked that Ochiai Yurika was ousted for Horie Yui though.

Said that I would watch it. Actually managed to watch it…in sleepy mode. I’m still irked like you are though.
