I saw Kenshin in this trailer and I first thought, "Whoa, he looks pathetic". Then it hit 0:30 (the preview image) and suddenly he's a stone-cold badass.

Well to his credit when he is Kenshin he's supposed to give off that whole clark kent vibe. Trailer looks good.

Yeah, I got that, it just took me a little while.

They've been pretty careful in how many official pics are released, but the official poster looks almost as awesome as the trailer:



Here's a shot of Sanosuke's actor in costume:



Finally, a production still of Kenshin and (I think) Jin-E:



I'm REALLY hoping that the rumors of an international release are true.

Alt Text = Hey, I like Street Fighter, too. Did you pick me up a digital video disc of freaking LEGEND OF CHUN-LI. OH I ALSO LIKE SPEED RACER. Actually I hear that one was kinda okay. As soon as I work through the skin here, let's pop up some corn and have movie night.

So.... we get it next year?

Have you guys watched any of the new shows this season?

If your looking for a little "edge" to help you in your attempted suicide, I suggest Muv-Luv: Alternative. Watch ep 1 and 2, you'll be over the edge in NO TIME.

Sword on-line is the only one so far which actually looks halfway decent.

[Darkmatter]

Jinrui wa Suitai Shimashita has been really good so far. It looks very light but its hiding a darker underbelly just like Madoka did.

Kokoro Connect 1st ep was surprisingly good considering I wasn't even going to watch 1 ep. The summary made me groan and roll my eyes but they're handling it a lot like if it happened IRL. First ep also had a few really funny lines.

Rendezvous looks like it will be pretty good. Although I must admit that I am biased because the main female char is totally my type and its a look you don't see very often in anime. /sigh must find me a real life version of her....


I also just finished an older series. Uchuu no Stellvia. I found the first half a bit slow but it built up some good tension and the pace picked up 1/3 of the way in. It also handled science stuff quite well I thought, and was surprisingly well planned out solid. There are a couple plot holes but I think thats because they had planned for a 2nd season but it was suddenly cancelled due to "internal problems." *shrug*

So far out of the new season stuff I've started on the following:

-Binbougami ga!: Girl with lots of fortune meets the god of misfortune as she trys to remove her good fortune to balance out things. Funny series, comic in nature with tons of references to other anime shows.



-Campione!: Guy kills god, gets god like powers, fights other folks and gets a harem of girls it seems. So far it's so-so. I'll keep watching it though.



-Sword Art Online: I really like this show so far. It reminds me of .hack but with a darker tone. 10,000 people get into this mmo with no magic, and like .hack you have to connect in from the outside and play like it's real life. But once in the GM decides that this is his best test ever and not only does he make it so you can't log out of the game he then reverts every player to what they really look like IRL and tell them that they can die as well. If you die in game, you die in the real world as well. If someone removes the equipment outside of the game you will die as well. To get out the game has to have all 100 floors cleared. By the end of the first show they note that 2000 people have died so far.



-Oda Nobuna no Yabou: Guy gets sucked into the three kingdom's world some how, but in this world the male version of the generals are all female. He knows the future, blah blah blah. Typical stuff but the artwork is neat and the story is not that bad so far.



-Natsuyuki Rendezvous: Good show so far, some have said they did not enjoy it but I really like it. Has that whole slice of life feel with a twist. I'll keep watching it just to see how things progress.



Still Watching:

-Fairy Tale: I really enjoy the filler arc this time around. I've yet to watch a show in the last few seasons that I disliked.
