And as usual, doesn’t look like there’s a lot of promising shows.
I’m checking out only the following shows:
- Aoi Hana – Hmm, shoujo-ai? But it’s directed by Kenichi Kasai, and I enjoyed even KimiKiss. So will watch.
- Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 – Bones. Gave us Bounen no Xamdou. Ouran. Etc. Will watch.
- Yoku Wakaru Gendai Mahou – It’s comedy, and it’s been some time since I’ve seen some (Hayate 2 just disappointed me).
- Canaan - The only anime in my list with some fighting action in this line. (It’s safe to assume there’s probably gonna be lots of action, right?)
- Taishou Yakyuu Musume – I think I’ve had an overdose of baseball, but if I get bored with Major S2 I’ll probably turn to this.
As usual, my source is hashihime.


Aoi Hana was a surprise! I didn’t know that they made an anime for it!
I loved the manga. It was one I had to buy since I didn’t think it would ever be licensed outside of Japan and I couldn’t wait on the scanlations.
I definitely want to see how they manage the story in anime form.
Really? The manga is good? Then my interest in Aoi Hana just went higher. =p
The manga is good and has a aching gentleness to it that I really can’t put into words.
I don’t know if the show can provide the same atmosphere that the manga has but here’s to hoping…
don’t think there will be anything better than Tokyo Magnitude
Of your list, I’m checking out mag 8 and Canaan. Well, I’m planning on watching mag 8. It seems to have an interesting premise with the earthquake destroying Tokyo and all. At least I think that’s what it is about. Again, I haven’t watched it.
Canaan was one of those shows that I watched because the name sounded cool. Then I really got into it. I’m not sure if it will offer a deep plot, but I’ll agree that it’s probably going to be filled with action.
From what I’ve seen, it looks like mag 8 is the more interesting one.
awesome, i love this site…
