Latest Anime releases...

October has just become my favourite month today. It's the month of the new season of anime and we have a fiesta for 2008. Lots of Season 2 this time, but we all pull a long wait for them. On top of that, they also release brand new series to get this new season more colours. Well, without further a due, here is the must watch list of this time's new season:

1. Vampire Knight Guilty. I was squealing with joy when I saw it in Crunchyroll this morning. And off course, this is the continuation of the first Vampire Knight. After the major cliffhanger in Season 1, Season 2 starts with Zero's comeback and the drama continues. More twist and drama will be revealed in this season as the truth will start to surface.
2. Mobile Suit Gundam 00 Season 2. Season 2 begins with 5 years after the major battle that ended Season 1 and left us with 'WTH, how come everybody's dead???' gloomy mood. Major Spoiler, Lockon is not dead folks, he'll appear in episode 2. Fans will start cheering again with a sigh of relief.
3. Nodame Cantabile Paris Hen. Who doesn't love Nodame?? All the 'Mukyaa' and 'Gyabo' are making the comeback to your TV screen, and all of us will welcome it with the tears of joy. Season 2 is about Nodame's life in Paris as the student of Paris Music Conservatory and the progress of the pursuit on the relationship with Chiaki *wink*.
4. Clannad After Story. The season 2 starts with the life of the 2 main characters, Tomoya and Nagisa, after their high school graduation. I didn't really follow this anime, but am sure this anime has a huge fan base to make it to the 2nd season. So, definitely, this anime is one of the watch list.
5. Toradora! Enough with the sequels. Toradora is the story of 2 often misunderstood high school student, Ryuuji and Taiga. And they're neighbors too. So stay tuned for the comedy and romance for this rather cute anime.
6. Kuroshitsuji. Loved the first episode of this anime. The story is about the 12 years old master of Phantomhive family and his perfect butler, Sebastian. Off course, there's more than meets the eye of this anime. The first episode didn't even reveal any explicit hint of what's the actual story of this anime except on the beginning. A very interesting anime.

Also there're some animes that just finished their season and it's sad to say goodbye to them:

1. Chi's Sweet Home. After captivating us with its super cuteness, Chi finally says goodbye in the 104th episode with a somewhat touching ending. Chi was sad in episode 103rd because her kurobuta cat friend's family has to move away after being found out having a cat by the landlady. But the memory of kurobuta will remain in the Moon according to Chi.
2. Special A. The series just ended at episode 24 but the rumour says that they will have a Season 2. The anime is based on manga with the same title by Minami Maki. The story revolves around the rivalry of Kei and Hikari. They're the No 1 and No 2 top student along with the next top 5 student were classified as a Special A class students. Lots of twist and emotion evolving stories that will make your heart move and cheer for Kei.
3. D-Gray Man. Yes, after a 2 year long reign, it finally ends with episode 103rd, for good, or not (?). Who knows, they will come out with another new season since the manga is far from finish yet.
4. XXXHolic: Kei. The sequel of XXXHolic. Always fun to watch Watanuki running around doing the errands of cooking dinner for Yuuko and the black Mokona. Only has 13 episode, but it's definitely adding some zest to your entertainment deficiency TV.
5. Macross Frontier. The direct sequel from the previous Macross series. Storywise it's similar to Gundam but Gundam00 displays a more daring controversial current political issues. And you'll wonder why anime (supposedly for kids) carrying such a heavy tragic storyline. That's why Japanese Anime is an entertaiment for all ages.
6. Ryoko's Case File. A sci-fi anime on supernatural phenomenon involving Yakushiji Ryouko, the heiress of JACESS but currently working in Tokyo Metropolitan Police, and her subordinate, Izumida.

And also, don't miss some of the still currently airing animes like:

1. Saiunkoku Monogatari II. Always love this anime since the season 1. Full of twist and turn of the plot with lots of strategic positioning of Shurei in maintaining her position as an officer. Further development in the romance department with Ryuki, or rather it's a downfall. Well, it'll soon reach the climax, so I always look forward for this anime.
2. Natsume Yuujinchou. I definitely always waiting for this anime to pop up on Crunchyroll every week. Each episode carries a heart warming ending. Natsume learns to open his heart to other humans and to understand the warmness of humans. Also, we always love Nyanko sensei for his obnoxious and glutton attitude.
3. Chiko, Heiress of the Phantom Thief. An advanture of Chiko after being kidnapped by the Phantom Thief from her evil relatives. Currently at the state of Chiko restarting her journey to look for the Phantom Thief again.
