Time to continue our trip of this year’s fall season of anime! On this part we’ll cover another 8 shows, leaving 32 shows pending. Will my sanity survive? Who cares! At least you’ll know what to watch and what to avoid this season. My wellbeing is a small price to pay so you can enjoy your pretty Japanese cartoons.

    Has anybody seen the Casshern movie? I’ve been wanting to see it for so long, I’ll definitely need to check out the anime.

  2. Vekter says:

    Casshern looks like this season’s Gurren Lagann.

    As I’ve said in many different forms over the last year, I despise Clannad just because the creator of Haruhi decided to do fucking After Story instead of Haruhi S2.

    Tentai looks effing awesome.

  3. Sol says:

    Hmmm. I’ll give each one a chance. Although I do like Casshern.

    @ Robbie: Seen the Casshern movie. It’s something that’s for sure. I did enjoy it. Hopefully the anime will be able to hold it’s own.
