So spring is already here (well, for few weeks already but whatever), so I was doing some spring cleaning up (i mean, HD and online clean-up, cause god knows you'll never see me cleaning anything real --or god forbid dusting... eeewwww). So I arranged my manga, and anime on HD (like, with folders and all), then I removed bunch favorites from TV.com favorite list (and also added bunch of anime), I blocked/deleted 20-30 people on messenger, I added couple on djs on my manga page on mal... and I decided on my spring line-up aka SHOWS (AND ANIME) I'LL WATCH THIS SPRING:
First, shows. Well this spring there are only three comebacks I've been expecting (and all three are among my top ten favorite shows...)
1. Doctor Who (4th season)
Woot! Rose is back !!!
I mean... not yet, but still. Can't wait. Also, Donna --I love her. She's just hilarious and I think that she had way more normal reaction to Doctor in last Xmass special then Rose and Martha together. Unfortunately, somewhere along the season Martha will be coming back too, and than hopefully Rose and Donna will kick her doctor butt all the way back to Earth.
2. Battlestar Galactica (4th - and final - season)
Another series I've been waiting oh-so-long to come back... Of course, I deprived myself of seeing Razor until final season airs (so I would prevent another "All along the watchtower" aftershock), and now when it's finally here I can finally see Kara and Lee again !! ...And the rest of the cast, too... BTW, Lucy's coming back this season, which means MADNESS.
3. Greek (2nd season, or continuation of 1st)
I've seen only first episode, and I love it. Especially how focus is not anymore on Rusty, but Casey instead. I'm not sure how I feel about whole Rebecca/Cappie thing though... I guess I'm fine with it now cause Evan won me over as Casey's boyfriend in last season. And woot for Ashleigh and Calvin being friends again... both of them are awesome characters.
BTW, there might be some spoilers above... LOL.
Now, as for anime I'm watching this spring (and I don't count Bleach in 1st cause it's not springy but neverending, 2nd cause i kinda dropped the anime till fillers begin and now I'm just reading manga).
1. xxxHOLiC - Kei (2nd season of xxxHOLiC)
Holic started with a boom this season - no introductions, or unnecessary fillers - nope, we're continuing right where we left off - with Spider's curse arc ... or whatever it's called. Still, even though I forgot what's the name of the arc, I can honestly tell you that it's one of the best Holic arcs, and watanuki is so kawai in it !!! I love him sooooo much. Of course I love and Yuuko, Doumeki, Himawari and Mokona, too.
2. Code Geass - Hangyaku no Lelouch R2 (R2 stands for second season)
Now I'm gonna say what everyone's been thinking ever since first promo pics came out - Suzaku may be a whiny hyper-idealistic emo (now without a girlfriend) but he looks smoking hott on those pics. But I will not post those pics here so I wouldn't be mistaken for Suzaku supporter by accident.
Still, he's not the only one who's hot - everyone's favorite kitty Lelouch (also known as Lulu) and everyone's favorite green-haired I-talk-to-your-dead-mother witch are also back and they're kicking some serious ass. I mean, it's been only one episode of this season and Lulu already managed to massmurder enough (bad) soldiers to make worlds top terrorist organizations envious, and C.C. ... well, she managed to get shot --again (not that she mind or anything). New things are Li-the-hottie from the Chinese federation, Kallen in a bunny costume (flashing her ... boobs at any enemy she encounters), and we have a family switch - blind, overly optimistic and dumped-by-Suzaku sister Nanally is gone or she morphed into a not-so-blind, obedient, looks-like-he'll-be-the-next-uber-psycho-of-the-series little brother Rollo (and wtf is with his black & white wings in the ed??).
Before I finish with CG I must add that Villeta still looks hott. Even though I have no idea WTF is she doing in Lulu's school. But still hott. Milly, too.
Unfortunately no Lloyd nor Cornelia in this episode.
Now as for anime airing for the first time this spring...
3. Kurenai (also known as Kure-nai)
Story seems like it'll have few good plot twists, art is generally good - kinda like Haruhi, though I like big eyes. I'd love it if the heroine wasn't 7 yo, but I guess I'll just go with the flow "she's mature for her age".
4. To-LOVE-Ru
Not much to say here... it's ecchi, so if you don't like the genre plot won't make up for that. I, however, love randomness of tlr manga so I plan to keep watching. (Can't wait for Yami and Yui to show up ((: )
5. Zettai Karen Children
This one won me over by it's sweetness. Also Hirano Aya is voicing Kaoru (big plus, I'm Aya fan). Basically, it's about three little girls who are level 7 Espers (means they have all sorts of powers (telepathy, telekinesis, teleporting) and as such are kept afar of other kids and are utterly spoiled by Mayor. Still, they do have to wear dog-like collars around their necks so their power will be kept in check. Sad... though, funny. And a little bit ecchi.
6. Vampire Knight
One of my favorites of the season, it's so well drawn and unreal and guys are sexy and has a nice plot and mysterious and vampire and did I mention guys are are sexy VAMPIRES? And good ones, non the less. Except for few, but we'll forgive them cause they're so SEXY.
...Plot is also very good.
7. Soul Eater
I really didn't like this one at first (there's something about the art that's giving me creeps), but at that scene when Maka's crying this anime won me over. It has similar concept to Bleach, so I'm already familiar with terminology. I think I might read manga while waiting for new eps.
8. Special A
My favorite shoujo of the season !!! Seriously. Girl dislikes guy cause he's better from her in everything, guy secretly likes girl even though he's teasing her all the time... and both of them are pros in prowrestling. LOL. Where else do you get a heroine that kicks ass like this??? (Well Kaichou wa Maid-sama!, but that's another story.) I heard people complaining about too-similar-to-holic design of characters, but I like Clamp-like artwork so I don't mind.
9. Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's
Subs for first episode of this one are still not out, so I'll have to refrain on commenting. But I'm a fan of Yu-Gi-Oh, so this is a must see for me. (I mean, card games on motors !!!)
Anyways, I have a 2000 pages long exam in Monday - I still don't have a clue about anything from those 2000 pages, so I might as well start studying.
Kudos to all, S.
@HumbleNewb - Lemons... 18+? Just see this link... *LINK*
@Llama_guy - Ending of Evangelion wasn't confusing but profound !!!
