Airs:

In a nutshell:
Manglobe(Samurai Champloo). Brazil. Sexy heroine. Souped-up Vespa.

Jason's take:
I'm really excited about this one. Characters look great and the setting is cool. Just hope Hatchin doesn't get too annoying.

Raph's take:
I'll bite, it could be different.




Macademi Wasshoi!

In a nutshell:
Another Magic Academy/Harem show

Jason's take:
I'm a sucker for these shows. I'll give this one a shot.

Raph's take:
Who doesn't go to magical school these days? Too much already, pass.




Inazuma 11

/Inazuma Eleven

Airs:
10/05 09:00

In a nutshell:
The DS RPG about recruiting a soccer team now has it's own anime.

Jason's take:
Um, no. Teh kiddie. Hate soccer. Fail.

Raph's take:
I'm expecting tons of super attacks and emotional shouting.




Kyo no 5 no 2 (Today in Class 5-2)
http://www.starchild.co.jp/special/gononi/
5-2

Airs:

10/05 25:30

In a nutshell:
Ecchi grade-school comedy.

Jason's take:
I missed the OVAs when they came out. Something a little too pervy about this one that I'll probably take a pass.

Raph's take:
The OVAs are so naughty that I can not resist. I hope they do not tone it down much for TV.



Kannagi: Crazy Shrine Maidens

Kannagi
Trailer:


Airs:
10/04 22:30

In a nutshell:
Mystical Harem Comedy

Jason's take:
Shrine Maidens Gone WILD!

Raph's take:
Its dry and black on the outside that its so overdone.




Gundam 00 2nd Season
http://www.gundam00.net/
Gundam 00

Airs:
10/05 17:00

In a nutshell:
Mecha action 

Jason's take:
I wanted to like this series, but I just couldn't keep up. I find Gundam pretty boring in general. I'm more of a Macross guy I guess.

Raph's take:
I am really expecting more development on the pilots this time. I will certainly watch, but after Code Geass R2, this won't be the best offering from Sunrise this year.




Kemeko Deluxe

Trailer:



Airs:

10/04 26:00

In a nutshell:
Action-comedy. Fat Asuka plugsuit with a surprise inside.

Jason's take:
Looks hilarious. Must watch!

Raph's take:
Might be too whacky for me, but I will try an episode...




Ga-rei Zero
http://www.ga-rei.jp/
Ga-Rei

Airs:

10/05 24:00

In a nutshell:
Guy and girl work together to capture souls. Bleach? Soul Eater? No. Ga-rei.

Jason's take:
Characters look great. Seems a bit derivitive, though. I'll give it an episode to WOW me.

Raph's take:
Nice art, but another same old, same old.




Well folks, that's it for FAP. These are the series we'll be covering this season, and if there are some that you think we missed that deserve attention, let us know in the comments. Should be a good season, I can't wait for things to kick off!

 

Comments

Bravo.

Nice preview guys, almost wished I lived in Japan just for the TV.

Question: other then the usual torrents and whatnot, is there any other way to watch Japanese TV (i.e. a special channel or service that can be ordered)?
