Ah, anime, that wonderful time-sink which allows me to watch pretty cartoons. I still don't see why my beloved doesn't like it. I mean it's cartoons. What's not to like. Anyways, there's been some interesting tidbits popping up about anime recently. Of most interest to me, is the fact that a second season of CLANNAD is coming out, with this season being based on the AFTER STORY portion of the game. I'm all sorts of happy about that.
Second, anime blog a geek by any other name tells us that BOST TV will be releasing DRM-Free anime episodes. Anytime someone wants to release something without DRM it makes me happy. As a consumer, I despise DRM. It's evil I say... evil! Amusingly enough as a programmer I feel much the same way.
Anyways, here is the current lineup for animes that should be appearing this spring (and this data is from A Geek By Any Other Name's cheat sheet):
| Name | Genre | My thoughts |
| Allison to Lillia | Shounen/ Adventure | Seems interesting |
| Amatsuki | Fantasy | I'm kind of hesitant about this one. |
| BLASSREITER | Sci-Fi | Zombies! Ya! |
| Blue Dragon Tenkou no Shichi Ryuu | Shounen/ Action | Oh no.... |
| Code Geass R2 | Mech/ Drama | The first season was good, so I'll give it a try |
| Crystal Blaze | Sci-Fi/ Action | Just sounds odd. |
| D.C.II S.S. Da Capo II Second Season | Moe/ Romance | Bleh... |
| Druaga no Tou ~the Aegis of URUK~ | Fantasy/ Adventure | err... |
| Fireball | Kids/ CG | No! |
| Golgo 13 | Action | yet more bleh... |
| Himitsu ~Top Secret~ | Sci-Fi/ Action | It has some promise, but I don't think so. |
| Itazura na Kiss | Shoujo/ Romance | More fun drama. |
| Junjou Romantica | Shoujo/ Boys Love | No. Just no. |
| Kaiba | Sci-Fi | *shrugs* It's SF so I've gotta give it a try. |
| Kamen no Maid Guy | Comedy | I'll try, but I don't see me sticking with it. |
| Kanokon | Shounen/ Romance | The Manga is a fun ride |
| Kurenai | Comedy | Bleh... |
| Kyou Kara Maou 3rd Season | Comedy | More Bleh. |
| Kyouran Kazoku Nikki | Comedy | I've seen worse plot descriptions |
| Macross FRONTIER | Mech | I'm so there! |
| Monochrome Factor | Action/ Fantasy | Again, No. |
| Nabari no Ou | Action/ Fantasy | Still no. |
| Nijuu Mensou no Musume | Action/ Mystery | Should be interesting. |
| Penguin Musume ♥ Heart | Comedy/ Gag | Uhm.... I'm thinking no.... |
| RD Sennou Chousashitsu | Sci-Fi | I'm so wanting to see this... |
| S.A. ~Special A~ | Romance / Reverse Harem | *shrugs* I doubt it |
| Soul Eater | Shounen/ Fantasy | Oh yeah! This has potential. |
| To LOVEru | Shounen/ Romantic Comedy | It sounds a bit like a half dozen previous animes, so I guess we'll have to see. |
| Toshokan Sensou | Action/ Comedy | Should be fun. |
| Vampire Knight | Shoujo/ Fantasy | I'm kind of scared... |
| Wagaya no Oinarisama | Fantasy | uhm.... I'm thinking no.... |
| xxxHOLiC Kei | Fantasy | I'll give an episode or 2 a try. |
So, that's what I have to look forward to starting in April. I'm especially excited about the new Macross.
