Spring 2009 Anime Lineup

2009-03-08_00001

It’s that time again! With April and the first day of Spring just around the corner, it’s time for the new Spring anime line up for 2009! There’s a lot of anime on the list this time around, unlike the previous lineup for Fall and Winter 2008. First up is series many of us have been waiting for is the highly anticipated second Fullmetal Alchemist series, which will be a retelling of the story that will follow closely to the manga. Then there’s the HD remastered Dragonball Z series, renamed “Dragonball Kai“, that will be edited to follow the manga (read: a shorter series, which is good news for fans who despise the dragged storyline in Z).

Granted, there are better anime on the list than in 2008, but many of them I will have to wait and see–possibly before the Summer listings. Hagaren 2 is definitely on my watch list, but for DBK, its a low priority despite the changes. What’s on your watch list? ^_^

  1. I’m looking forward to a few titles myself but I’m definitely looking forward to Sengoku Basara the most.

  2. FMA! Actually, I’m kind of excited about this show now that I’ve seen the trailer. Ha, I thought the DBZ remake was just a DVD re-release. So it’s a brand-new series? Didn’t know that. Is it becoming a trend for studios to remake old series? First, it was Madhouse with Casshern Sins….

  3. Naturally the series I primarily want to watch is the second series of Hagaren. XD I’ve been dying to see it.

    I’ve also found myself anticipating: Senjou no Valkyria, Sengoku BASARA, Shangri-La, Queens Blade, and 07 Ghost. The snippets I’ve read all seem interesting and I hope to find a few new series that will captivate me. We’ll see though. After all, I had high hopes for Gundam 00 Second Season and it disappointed me badly.

  5. Wow seeing this post got me excited about anime all over again. I’ve kinda gotten away from watching much and focused on Drama more, but I’m really interested in checking out second Fullmetal Alchemist and Senjou no Valkyria. ^_^

  6. Damn so much anime, I’m still stuck with old series :( though my philosophy of life is that I’ll have plenty of time to watch anime later on, so I’m not worried ^^ and I’m also aiming to be able to watch them without subtitles understanding 100%, which is still a bit far as of now
