A New Year means all new anime! There’s bound to be all sorts of good anime, bad anime, and downright god awful anime in 2008, just like every year. And there’s bound to be fans who know exactly what they’re wanting to see.
I have yet to sit down and truly plan out which new 2008 releases will be tossed on the ever growing pile of “must see/read” anime/manga.
I know I’m eager to read the next Vampire Hunter D manga and the next installment of the Hellsing manga (here’s hoping it gets released in ‘08!)
Tokyo Majin made it onto my list for anime series to be wtched in 2008. I can’t wait for either the next volume of Tokyo Majin or the Wallflower to be released.
As for new anime series, I’m looking forward to Darker Than Black and Black Blood Brothers. Movie-wise, I’m anxious for the new Appleseed Ex Machina to be released as well as Vexille.
I’m sure other new series and movies will find their way onto my anime viewing plate this year besides the few I’ve listed. Who else has a list of anime and manga they’re looking forward to in the new year? Is there a series or movie you simply cant wait to see? Or will you be dodging 2008’s anime like a bad Vaudeville act dodges rotten tomatoes? Which anime (and/or manga) are you looking forward o in 2008?
Please tell us about the series you’re wanting to see in 2008 in the comments below!
I don’t really plan things out. I’m pretty impulsive when it comes to what I watch. Sadly, I sometimes buy into a show because I thought the package design was amazing (but I was really buying it for the package and not the show).
I know I’m looking forward to 5cm Per Second. I’ve already seen it, but I want to see it again badly. I’ve already started in on Kanon and am waiting to see what the manly fuss is all about on Gurren Lagann. Anything else is up to the wind.
I have LOTS of animes I’m looking forward to this coming Spring, particularly the fangirl-biased ones lol. I’ve been sorely lacking dose of that from the past seasons. I got so inspired that I managed to write a semi-preview for the next season, as early as now ^^;;;
In terms of US licensed anime, I’ve already preordered 5 centimeters per second, and I’ll get Gurren Lagann as soon as the box set is out.
In terms of newly airing anime, it’s gotta be Strike Witches…I have a full set of the Konami mecha musume and Strike Witches trading figures, and I <3 loli planes. Though that’ll probably end up sucky, just like the Gunslinger Girl S2 I was looking forward to so much.
Crayon Shin Chan. My wife’s been telling me about it for years, and the DVDs finally come out this year. I know it’s been on Cartoon Network, but I want to see it at a reasonable time (Adult Swim is fine if you don’t work), and with the original Japanese voices.
KAIBA KAIBA KAIBA KAIBA KAIBA KAIBA KAIBA KAIBA KAIBA KAIBA KAIBA KAIBA KAIBA KAIBA KAIBA
Lucky Star should be getting a region 1 release sometime this year. Definitely want to add the DVDs to my collection.
I don’t know much of the new anime that is coming out this year, or at least of any I want to see, but I know I want to watch Haruhi Suzumiya season 2 and Higurashi No naku koro ni season 3 (that is if it actually comes out this year, which I’m pretty sure it should?)
Waiting for Appleseed Ex Machina. I have already watched Vexille great anime it has an Appleseed touch to it.
The new Clone wars remake in august and anything that may come up.
