Phuzy-List: FALL 09

PhuzyBuny · **Phuzy-List: FALL 09 -** 10-03-2009, 12:38 AM

Yes. Technically speaking, the Fall 09 season for anime has already started and promos have been out for forever but regardless, many of you will still glance over this just to see what buneh will be watching. No, this isn’t the AT official recommended anime to watch this season, or the list of stuff that PhuzyBuny will be posting on the main page…It’s the list of anime that PhuzyBuny has selected from what will be airing this season, as his personal list of anime watching. I’m not telling you what to watch, which one is the best, or how the season is gonna play out…rather, this started as a couple lines of shows that I would be watching and members have pointed out that they rather like my list and would like to see it posted. I have since then posted the list on the forums and with a crapload of more info and some fancy things called images.

Looking through the list of anime airing this season, it is significantly longer than that of the Summer season which is a typical trend. With that said, there is also a lot of stuff I don’t want to watch part of this new season. I made my prelist, did some research, trimmed it done, added some stuff and without further delay, I present to you, the AnimeTake members, the Phuzy-List for Fall 09!

Asura Cryin’ 2

Official Site: http://www.starchild.co.jp/special/asura/
Production Company: Seven Arcs
Release Date: October 1, 2009
Episodes: 13
Potential Subs: Licensed by Crunchyroll

First and foremost is the continuation of Asura Cryin’. Essentially a mecha style shounen type story with your usual bishoujos and huge-racked wolf deity. Mix in some action, ecchiness, comedy and a ghost girl and you have one unusually addicting shounen anime. The first season left off with a lot of loose ends and this second season was expected. You expect to see the continuation of the story line. Hopefully the producers can take this second season and develop a really deep plot now that the first season has fleshed out the main cast. But then again, it is a shounen story so watch it with that in mind; i.e., don’t expect too much…

Anticipation: 5/10

Armed Librarians: Book of Bantorra

Official Site: http://www.bantorra.com/
Production Company: David Production
Release Date: October 2, 2009
Episodes: 26?
Potential Subs: Licensed by Crunchyroll

I’m getting mixed info in regards to the number of episodes for this new show but regardless, you can bet that buneh is going to be watching this show. This is probably the best upcoming new series that’s based on a concept of humans turning into books when they die. These novels can then be read and reveal that person’s past to the fortunate individual who so happens to be glancing through. Obviously these books aren’t just flying around all over the place but they are stored in a library, Bantorra Library (what a surprise) where armed librarians protect said books against the Sindeki Kyoudan, some religious society. These librarians also have psychic powers just to give it that extra kick of excitement. In any case, this will probably be one the action series for this season. Let’s just hope it plays out well.

A Certain Scientific Railgun

Official Site: http://www.project-railgun.net/
Production Company: J.C. Staff
Release Date: October 2, 2009
Episodes: 12?
Potential Subs: Eclipse?, Densetsu, Ayako

Looks like the second season of To Aru Majitsu no Index? Ha! No…it appears that this arc will take more focus on Mikoto Misaka (that crazy lightning chick). It’s a spin off of the To Aru Majitsu no Index light novels and if the producers can do the right things we might just get another action packed show with some familiar faces (maybe even a couple loli nuns for booya XD). But as we all know, it’s difficult to improve upon something established and we will have to see if they can make this a more interesting take on the daily lives of the students in Academy City. Hell, lightning is way more interesting than a hand that nullifies stuff.

Anticipation: 6/10
Buny Subs: Eclipse, Ayako

White Album Final

Official Site: http://www.whitealbum-tv.com/
Production Company: Seven Arcs
Release Date: October 2, 2009
Episodes: 13
Potential Subs: Eclipse?, gg

Some people raged two seasons ago when this first aired during the spring season. The slow pace mixed with the lack of any action seemed to make this a dull anime. I sat through the first 13 episodes and absolutely loved this show. It’s basically a guy who has access to a bunch of chicks ranging from loli to idol to school girl to office lady…almost…It’s a weird combination but essentially it’s a romance that looks at the emotional turmoil that becoming famous puts on a relationship. Distance, lack of communication, and just the lack of physical contact pushes the main character, Toya Fujii, to his limits. Seeking to fill the voids in his life that have been slowly appearing due to the absence of his girlfriend Yuki Morikawa, Toya turns to various individuals around him. He becomes disgusted with himself and is tormented by the battle that rages between his desires and his own ethics. It’s actually quite a strong character development show and I am really looking forward to the concluding 13 episodes which left off at a weird cliffhanger two seasons prior. I warn you, this is not for everyone. If you can push past the first 6 episodes of the first half then this is definitely something you would be looking forward to, otherwise, you might want to check out Bantorra or something.

Natsu no Arashi! Akinai-chuu

Official Site: http://www.starchild.co.jp/special/natsunoarashi2/
Production Company: SHAFT
Release Date: October 4, 2009
Episodes: 13?
Potential Subs: Licensed by Crunchyroll

The first season was quite entertaining while at the same time being serious for whenever the characters needed to be. The first season basically establishes the backgrounds for the majority of the main cast and brings all the necessary elements to present day. Now what this second season could play out to be is one of two options. First, it can continue its episodal style story telling in which a new mini story is told in one or two episodes. Second, it can make a huge plot using the already established characters to bring out a story of epic proportions. I’ve got bets it’s probably going to be the former. But in any case, it was an interesting watch and we’ll see what they can do with this show. As a note, for those who haven’t seen the first season, the character designs are quite similar to the older animation styles i.e., 1980s? But even so, it’s animated in present day standards and there is some influence of modern character design (in the female characters at least) so that it’s not that terrible to watch. I mean, I sat through the first season and I’m not particularly fond of the old style…

Letter Bee

Official Site: http://www.tegamibachi.com/
Production Company: Studio Pierrot
Release Date: October 3, 2009
Episodes: 13
Potential Subs: Licensed by Crunchyroll

Don’t let the children in the image above deceive you, nor the underlying concept of this being related to delivering letters. This show promises action as there is much conflict in the land of AmberGround. Letter Bees are essentially messenger carriers however giant insects are these postal service members’ greatest enemies. In order to deliver their packages successfully, Letter Bees employ partners who act as bodyguards. An OVA was released in 2008 (here http://www.animetake.com/letter-bee-ova/) and shows some of the potential this show has. It is a shounen type show but whatever, I’m not complaining, since it’s being aired worldwide EXCEPT for Japan...o_O?

Kimi ni Todoke

Official Site: http://www.ntv.co.jp/kiminitodoke/
Production Company: Production I.G.
Release Date: October 6, 2009
Episodes: 12
Potential Subs: Mamiko, Frostii?, Formula?

I’ve been a fan of Production I.G. ever since I first stepped into the realm of anime. I have yet to be disappointed however this show is drastically different from what I usually find from them. This is a romance style anime (not for everyone) but it follows an interesting cast of characters. Apparently the manga has been really successful (probably why it’s getting an anime) but I’m sure it can speak to a lot of people out there. For those of you more interested in relationships, this is probably the anime for you this season.

Anticipation: 7/10
Buny Subs: Frostii

Darker than BLACK: Ryuusei no Gemini

Official Site: http://www.d-black.net/
Production Company: BONES
Release Date: October 8, 2009
Episodes: 12+4
Potential Subs: Koharubi, AnimeOne & Menclave, Yoroshi-subs?, Anime-Devils?, FTV-subs?, BSS?, Yuurisan-Subs

F*CK YES. BONES? F*CK YES. DARKER THAN BLACK SECOND SEASON? F*CK YESSSSSSS. Can I express my delight in any other way? The promos have been subbed by yours truly and weika from AT. Give that guy some props XD In any case, this is a continuation two years after the previous season left off. Hei is on the run with Yin and they meet a girl named Suou in Russia. And what do you know, they all get involved with the Syndicate and the Contractors i.e., kick arse plot and action. Oh don’t forget Misaki Kirihara, that cop chick with the tied up hair and oval glasses. Misaki quit the force and started investigating on her own which leads to the obvious problem of…MOAR KICK ARSE ACTION! This second season seems to draw more attention towards the new cast of character especially Suou which may or may not please the fanbase that DtB has established. Nonetheless, my fellow AnimeTakers, persevere and we shall be rewarded for the release date draws near! Soon, my allies, we will drug ourselves up on the addicting substance that is Darker than BLACK! Music is by Stereopony and Abingdon Boys. Stereopony’s song is called Tsukiakari no Michishirube…a tribute to Rie Fu’s Tsukiakari which was the ending song for the first season? Who cares…DARKER THAN BLACK IS BACK!!!

Anticipation: 10/10 (F*CK YES)

Fairy Tale

Official Site: http://kc.kodansha.co.jp/fairytail/
Production Company: A-1 Pictures Inc. and Satelight
Release Date: October 12, 2009
Episodes: 10?
Potential Subs: IEatAnime, Keishou Subs, KubuSubs, Kyuubi Fansubs, Generation NeXt, Koharubi, SubsFuckingWhere, gg-DatteBayo?, Crunchyroll?, Taka

Dragon hunting anyone? That’s what the guy in the picture above is doing. He also meets some girl and invites her into her guild after a bit of trouble. Together they complete tasks required by the guild and so the story goes…Simple premise but of course a lot of potential especially if the characters can be built well. Oh, and did I mention action? Another shounen type anime so you can expect some adrenaline pumping action in this series as well. There seems to be huge support from the fansubbing community so maybe this show will turn out better than “generic”. Let’s hope so XD

Anticipation: 7/10
Buny Subs: Koharubi, SubsFuckingWhere, gg-DatteBayo, Taka

Seiken no Blacksmith

Official Site: http://www.blasmi.com/
Production Company: Manglobe Inc.
Release Date: October 3, 2009
Episodes: 12
Potential Subs: imuR88?, Saikyo Fansubs, Nuke Fansubs, Koharubi, Solstice, AnimeYoshi

Knights have been traditionally males. But in Seiken no Blacksmith, the female lead is just the opposite a female knight who seeks to restore a sword passed down to her from her father. Seeking a blacksmith she encounters one who seems to know dark powers and even defeats a ruffian using these taboo abilities. And so the story begins…My RPG senses are tingling. There doesn’t seem to be much about the manga but in any case, some big guy at Manglobe thought that there was a reason to make this into an anime. Hopefully it can pull some good plot and character development along with some action, once again, hopefully.

Anticipation: 5/10

This is technically the end of the Phuzy-List for the new shows airing this upcoming season, but due to a certain message from a certain individual on my profile (*cough*WEIKA*cough*) I must make note of a particular anime that will definitely please many of you.

Cencoroll

This is a 30 minute movie which first aired July 28, 2009 in Canada at the Fantasia International Film Festival. The official site can be found here. So some guy was raising a beast of a thing called a Cenco. This monster turns up in the city and obviously the police and military want it somewhere else, somewhere between a rocket and a hard place. Then some other guy shows up with another Cenco and some crazy arse fighting breaks out. 30 mins to build up some real action, this looks like a real adrenaline pumper although I wouldn’t really want to call it a movie. Only trailers are available for now but the DVD comes out October 28, 2009 and you can expect rips and subs to follow soon after. I first came across this while uploading the supercell single, Kimi no Shiranai Monogatari. Supercell actually contributed a song to this movie. There weika, happy?!

And thus concludes the Phuzy-List for Fall 09. Yes, it was quite lengthy and I am glad you have made it thus far. Hopefully these shows will not disappoint both you and I and let’s pray that this season plays out well. Then again, with DtB2 on the list, this season will be awesome regardless XD I hope you enjoyed this installment of Phuzy-List! Happy anime-ing!
