Well I’m late, as always. >.<
On another note, the blog might be down near the end of the month. Gah, hosting issues. So if it does, please come back on October 1st, where everything *should* be fixed. And afterwards, I’ll probably be forced to limit adding youtube videos and pictures to a lower extent. I should’ve researched my hosting much more before I decided to use it. I regret not noticing so much now. Dx I don’t want to get punished for having views! Nuu! Don’t do this to me!
Also, I highly doubt that I’m going to be blogging much. I mean, I’m pretty busy with school and everything, plus I’m starting back up piano classes next month, so that’s even more. And my dad doesn’t really want me go to on blogs, so the only time I can go on is the weekdays. Quite a lose-lose situation. I am busy on the weekdays, where I can blog, and am free on the weekends, when I can’t. 
Here is the Fall Anime 2009 chart:
Ugh, my image viewer is being complicated. So either right click to view or minimize the toolbar and click view full image on the bottom view toolbar. Sorry!
Summer 2009: Final Impressions
Summer turned out to be a really good season. There were tons of shows that were good, but I was so busy I barely got to watch any. It turned out I was a lot busier than I thought, and so I didn’t get to watch all of the shows I wanted to follow, since there were so many. The only summer show I followed the whole time was Sora no Manimani. Pathetic, isn’t it? I only got to watch a few episodes of the others before I had to stop following it, which has now led to a big backlog list. Oh well. The one I followed closest after SnM was probably Umineko. All in all, it was a good season. So good, that I overwhelmed myself.
Sora no Manimani was a good series I have to admit, and it was a fun, light-hearted, show that gave me many fangirly squeals and happiness. I loved the animation of the stars and I was so interested in actually getting into stars. Not many shows do that, so I give props to SnM for being able to do so. I ended up at least liking every single character. They were all so unique and fun in their own ways, I have to admit.
The other show was Umineko. Beato-sama!!! She is just so awesome! Battler x Beatrice ftw! I just loved the episodes I watched. It was different from what I usually watch, yet I loved it. I really need to catch up, since I loved that series. It was mysterious, suspenseful, and the opening I think was the best of the season.
Bakemonogatari. Sigh…I wish I was able to follow that series. I know a lot of it was pretty good reading through blogs, and it made me want to watch it. But I had to catch up and just couldn’t find any “alone time” to do so. I have to say though, I love the music in the show. The ending song is my favorite for the season.
Umi Monogatari…I missed all of the action! Subs were so slow I found myself not following it, which made me sad after seeing how far it advanced. The characters were cute though, and according to the blogs, it turns out that my crack theory sorta came somewhat true. Just…later in the series. -.-?
Other than those shows, the other show I DEMAND I finish, is Tokyo Magnitude 8.0. I loved what I watched, and I’ve just heard so many good things that I just have to watch more of it. Gah. Time….stop for meh!! >:D
I ended up still following Pandora Hearts and 07-Ghost as well, although 07-Ghost went a bit downhill for me, Pandora Hearts is still as awesome as eva! I feel so bad that they’ve already ended. TT^TT
Overall, good season. I ended up only following one from this season, and 3 from the other seasons. So with the other shows all ending, I’ll be able to pick up more this Fall possibly. Let’s hope school won’t interfere too much now. :D
Fall Anime 2009
*Steals most of what I wrote before* The animes listed below are the shows that caught some sort of interest…somehow. I might end up following shows not on here, or I might drop the ones listed. I have a feeling I’ll drop most of these, but oh well. There are actually some that aren’t series, which I’ll note that it isn’t later on in the description. And what else….most of the information is taken off of either the chart or MyAnimeList. Otherwise, here are the shows!~

I think I’m the only one who has some mild interest in this seemingly jacked up anime. Yup. I’m interested, yet I think the plot is pretty sucky looking. Plus, the image doesn’t help too much either. But I don’t know, seeing the trailer, it didn’t look as bad. The animation looks nice, and it just looks like a cute, light-hearteded anime. So we’ll see. I’ll probably just check out the first episode just for the heck of it. But the kitties are cute nonetheless. xD
Watching: I guess the first episode to see how it is…
Blogging: No.

-MAL
Ooh! This anime just looks so good~ And it looks like it came from a visual novel which usually = awesome animation. The character designs are so eye-catching (I mean, after Ikuto’s eye patch, I’m just <3 with eye patches). The picture just caught my interest. Even though I don’t know much about it, I’ll still be looking very much forward to it. Everyone else’s interest in it also makes me excited for it as well.
Watching: Likely to do some random catch-ups. Will watch the first episode though.
Blogging: Random Anime at most?

In a world where dead people turn into books and are stored in the Bantorra Library where anyone who reads a book can learn their past. Bantorra Library is maintained by Armed Librarians who wield psychic powers and their enemy is a religious society known as Sindeki Kyoudan.
-MAL
I feel like a loner. ._. I’m actually pretty interested in it (ignoring the girl with her bewbs hanging out O.o). The plot sounds interesting, and the trailer isn’t half bad. I remember awhile back there was I think a show called Library Wars. I’ve never actually watched it, but I was always compelled by the idea of having an anime involving librarians. It’s unique, so I was thinking of finally watching one starting with this! And I always loved books with special powers, it’s…something that always just appealed to me I guess?
Watching: Just to see how it is?
Blogging: Nah…

-MAL
Hahahaha…wut? I’m trying it out? Huh?! Right….I’m lawling so hard on how it seems and looks, but I saw the trailer and I seemed a little interested. The character designs are nice, and I have people I want to ship together just looking at the trailer and everything. Kya~ But I’m not expecting too much from this anime. Just a peak won’t hurt though!
Watching: Checking it out won’t hurt, it’s…unique.
Blogging: No.
Miracle Train ~Oedo-sen e Youkoso~

As a result, the anime will feature a newer cast of characters — specifically, Fumi Roppongi, Rintarou Shinjuku, Izayoi Tsukishima, Iku Shiodome, Saki Tochou, and Itsumi Ryougoku.
-MAL
The picture has bishies. Lots of them *0*. *immediately looks* Okay, I’m interested. Lawl, I was actually interested after reading about the announcement before. I forgot why though. ._. But anyways, the bishies, and just the picture makes me want to at least give it a chance, since the summary doesn’t give all that much.
Watching: For the bishies. xDD
Blogging: Probably not~
Yumeiro Patissiere

Episodes: Unknown
Website: [ Official Website | MAL ]
The story centers on a 14-year-old girl named Ichigo Amano who wants to be a pâtissière (female pastry chef), but she is stymied by her own clumsiness. One day, she enrolls in St. Mary Academy, a culinary school for sweets, and meets a “spirit of sweets.”
-MAL
Since I’ve heard of the series, I’ve been really interested in watching it. It looks like a really fun, cute, adorable, cooking anime. Plus, cooking series are always win, because they make me hungry~ xD A lot of us are fearing for the 3-D aspect since we saw how much Gokujou blah blah was a 3D failure. But I doubt it will be. If it’s done right, I think I’ll really enjoy it and watch it to take a break from a stressful day. x) The characters look very cute as well, and my shipping senses are tingling!
Watching: Yes!!~

Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu: Purezza
Airdate: 10/5/09
Episodes: Unknown
Website: [ Official Website | MAL ]
In the story, Yuuto Ayase is an ordinary boy in an private high school with the usual cliques. Haruka, the school’s most unattainable girl, is so idolized in the school for both her beauty and smarts that her classmates nickname her Nuit Étoile (The Silver Star of the Night) and Lumière du Clavier (The Shining Princess on the Piano). However, in the school’s library, Y?to stumbles across her and her darkest secret — she is a diehard fan of anime, manga, and otaku culture.
-MAL
I confess! I haven’t watched the first one. TT^TT I’ve really wanted to though, since the plot sounds so cute, and the character designs, blushing, all of it. Plus, an anime about an otaku is always funny. Unfortunately, I couldn’t get past the first episode with some of the ecchi, since I’m almost never completely alone in a room to watch, because I don’t want my brother to walk by and yell out I’m watching something inappropriate (he likes getting me in trouble XP). Anyways, so I’m hoping to be able to at least watching some of this, since I know that the first season was really good, so hopes on that!
Watching: A few episodes here and there
Blogging: Nuu….

Episodes: 24
Website: [ Official Website | MAL ]
Kobato is sweet and perky girl, but also extremely naive about the world around her.

However, she must not fall in love with a particular boy she works with and whose heart she must heal.
-MAL
Kobato!! One of the shows I’m most excited for~ Even though I haven’t read the manga. *gets shot* I am still excited. I mean, who isn’t excited about the series (please don’t tell me because I will get the urge to go up to them and–). Anyways, I’m looking forward to the series all too much. Kobato’s voice is win, the opening song is win, the CCS light-heartedness is win too. I can’t imagine how excited I’d be if I actually did read the manga. O.o But anyways, very excited indeed!
Watching: Definitely!
Blogging: As much as time allows me to~

The other anime I’m looking forward to the most!! Kya! I don’t care if I didn’t read the manga on this either! >:D It looks so lovely and beautiful. The trailer was just stunning and the voices matched perfectly. I’ve heard so many great things about the manga that I’m super excited and hyped up. It looks like my type of show that I’ll be giggling with shipping. And I also forgot, cherry blossoms everywhere! *goes spazzy on cherry blossoms* Is it October 6th yet?
Watching: Uh, yes. Oh yes.
Blogging: As much as I can!~

The storyline setting primarily takes place in both Japan and Russia.
-MAL
Is saying that it sounds/looks cool enough? I guess not….:( Anyways, it looks really interesting, and falls under the genres that I’m currently interested in. Unfortunately, I didn’t watch the prequel. But I’m still interested in it. The plot looks really interesting to me as do the character designs.
Watching: We’ll see how it is~

-MAL
At first I thought it was the same author as One Piece. It turned out that it wasn’t, just a mangaka with similar art style. The show looks good nonetheless. I just hope it isn’t one of those super long shonen series. Not much to say on this show, other than I’ll be looking forward to watching it. Plus, Yuuchi Nakamura = awesome Gray. Soo~ yes!
Watching: Yes

Blogging: I don’t think one movie will hurt!
Other Blurbs
I was looking at the chart and wow. I can’t believe they’re doing a Lilo and Stitch remake. That’s what I call desperate. I just wish that they’d just leave the show be. Ah well…just….wow.
I was showing my other friend who has an interest in anime the latest shows, and she told me about Winter Sonata. Apparently she has the DVDs for the Korean drama. It’s a Korean drama? It’s pretty odd having it adapted into an anime. We’ll just see how it goes. O.o Not sure if I’ll be intersted int hat though.
Well that’s it for now. There were more I decided to omit for the list. This is not the complete list, just saying. But are the shows that caught at least a bit of my interest. I said no to blogging every single one, since I have not defintie in my blogigng unless I do short blog posts. I have a high drop expectation for this season, since the win shows are good enough already. xDD But anyways, ciao!~
