@Aime: I see, it’s not even out as yet, rofl! It’s a preview, not a review.

@XDXD: I did. In fact, it’s in my top 5 list and in the 3rd ranked anime. It’s very likely that I will blog that series. Yes, i will.

did you check out morobito? It’s made by a lot of the team that did blood+ ^_^ i’m anticipating it. As for other shows, i’m rooting for darker then black and claymore.

@Aime: aww, didn’t mean to ignore you but I also addressed the same thing. Actually, the correct name for the show is lovely complex, so it’s a little mistake by me actually. Ya, there seems to be a live action movie, and I will be curious.

@13sugars: I don’t know really about Sangokushi after knowing about the animation company (Soul link) and then the production company that does ….young kid series. The graphics is definitely non-childish in nature but I don’t know. The more I hear, the more I force myself not to in order to stay objective.

@Fuuka: Hmmm , similar choices here, as fighting series are generally not my cup of tea, unless there’s a more serious plot within and the focus is not about fighting. Your two picks will be similar to me, and I did not read the manga yet. If it’s as funny as koukou debut, it must be good stuff ^+^

I’ll pick Lovely complex and Darker than Black. Well, I totally love the manga, it’s just as funny and interesting as Koukou Debut, in my opinion. I have the live-action version of this manga now and will start to watch as soon as I have free time.
Pick Darker than Black purely for the music!!!!
The character design in Claymore really draws my attention but I haven’t read the manga yet so I’m not quite sure. Fighting series are not my cup of tea after all. But I might check out at least 2 eps.
ROTK with machines ??? Urgh…, the idea puts me off instantly!

I go for Koutetsu Sangokushi because I have a hunch that this might have a good plot story like in SaiMono, except for good looking bishies, but we’ll see. ^^

I’m also all for Lovely Complex as it is one of the series I’ll definitely be following. But I don’t think this series will fit your style of blogging, but again, we’ll see. ^^

I feel ignored …. Oh by the way, I found on youtube lovely complex (written like this), but with real human flesh people (japanese of course)… and yes, a tall girl and a short guy, except is not animation.

From what I have heard from many, it seems that Love complex is in fact a big hit back in Japan. If a shoujo series has a strong cult following back there, it is screaming out “HELL YES TO BLOG” for me at the very least. I will be definitely looking at that series very closely.

I have not heard much about Koutetsu Sangokushi and I wonder if it’s the sign of something. In fact, I have heard from someone that Picture Magic did the wonderfully graphical genius in Soul Link. I am disturbed. VERY DISTURBED.

@Bijou: Thanks for the comments and for Ookiku Furikabutte, a sports baseball anime is going to be interesting, but I wonder what it means, Bijou. I have not heard much from it though and it seems that it has not hit foreign shores as yet.

@Laboosh: I see, actually, if i am forced to pick a favorite among the dark horses, it will be a tough fight between Darker than black (just for the cowboy bebop’s music producer) and lovely complex for shoujo loveliness

@Briar: Claymore somehow rubs me in a very queer way. On one hand, i know the action is going to be great. Yet, for blogging sense, it will be a total pain in the *censored*. I don’t know what to decipher for it.

@Totali: I will guess so for shoujo series. You generally will want to follow it after the series has ended because it’s hell annoying to wait too long for one episode. I felt it for bokura ga ita. On a sidenote, I love the splash graphics of your front page

@Mazza: A live action movie? Wow, this must be good stuff for a live action to come out. Really a dark horse to watch.

for me another dark horse (for the English fandom at least) would be Ookiku Furikabutte also coming out this April.

the manga of this spring anime is a big success in Japan, as well as critically acclaimed. dunno how the “outside world” thinks, tho.

i for one will be monitoring this, and hoping someone subs it.

Just looking at the screencaps, I know I’m the most interested in Claymore. I love the poster and the character design. I think I’ll go for it for at least a couple of episodes. Who knows, maybe if the gore is at the Elfen Lied level, the depth can also hit that level as well.

Darker the Black is… hmmm…. I don’t know, possible. I’m not very enthralled by the poster/screencap, but hey, I prefer some action in my animes, together with some depth, so maybe… And the trailer on Youtube looks pretty good.

Regarding Koutetsu Sangokushi… if I can accept Romeo and Juliet with mecha, I suppose Sangokushi with machinery is not too far-fetch. Although I admit the thought of Lu Xun as hero intrigues me… He is one of those scholar + warrior characters, with expertise in military strategy. I admit, if the hero is Zhou Yu I’ll probably watch it immediately. *blushes* Lu Xun… well it’s better than the same old, same old.

For Love Complex, is it my imagination, or does the female lead looks a bit like Nana? Anyway, it’s not really the type of genre I watch, but it does look interesting at first glance.

@Impz: Well, out of that 15 I’m only sure of blogging about 4-5 of them. The rest is just for normal watching. xD

Darker than Black is BONES’s chance to redeem themselves after Ayashiki Ayashi’s rather mediocre performance. Lets hope BONES can rise to the challenge.
