Anyone checked these out yet? Anime series during fall and winter 2007 were kinda slim pickings for me but so far there have been a bunch I really enjoyed:
- Seirei no Moribito
- Dennou Coil
- Moyashimon
- Minami-ke
- Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann
Persona Trinity Soul I saw the first episode for recently, it was alright. I'll be keeping an eye out for more of that later on.
Most definitely looking foward to seeing Kite:Liberator .

I've watched the first episode of Persona: Trinity Soul -- doesn't seem like it's subbed yet so I can't really comment on plot, but the animation is nice. Was good to hear some of the tracks kept from the P3 in there too.
Only other anime series I've watched recently was Darker Than Black which I really enjoyed.

I always hear two opinions about Gurren:
1. It's generic shounen
2. It's the most epic fucking thing 2007 has ever experienced
I'm willing to check it out...
Minami-ke annoyed me, not my type of series.
Darker than Black is worth watching just for the opening (NOW I'VE LOST IT), but it's also a good show. Never got to see the end, though, because it got liscensed early.

Darker than Black had some promise, but I thought Studio Bones could've done so much more in the end. Soundtrack by Yoko Kanno still kicks ass.
Seirei no Moribito - japanese fantasy
Denno Coil - sci fi
Moyashimon - slice of life in college plus some inserts of microbiology
Minami-ke - slice of life comedy centering around 3 sisters
Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann - sci fi
Much of the information about those titles is available on wiki and various anime blogs, so you can get a quick glimpse of what they're like before you decide to check them out.
Minami-ke had its funny moments but yeah, general turn-off was the redundancy. Pretty much turned my brain off and chuckled randomly. Not going to check out a second season of that though. Gurren Lagann I thought had a great build up until just a little over half the series, then I couldn't take it seriously. It is epic in all forms of ridiculous attempts at uber awesomeness, and the end result is subjective. The series was simply meant to be fun and not overly deep and engaging as some people tend to take it.

They only seemed to start giving answers with DTB right in the last few episodes... then it was all over. I have heard they're doing an OVA to tie things up. Not much of a cast left to continue with though.
I keep hearing about Gurren Lagann, going to have to give that one a try.
I really enjoy Gurren Lagann, but I really can't bring myself to watch the remaining episodes, for some reason.

Thanks for bringing my attention to it, looks nice, music even good.
so its actually serving ps2 persona3 fans, no luck for those who aent aware of persona?
Do oyu have directlink for 1st episode?
Pssh don't group up Persona with P3 & Trinity.
They're two entirely different beasts.
This anime would only be a true Persona to moi if it were dark, brooding & occult like the original games.
Which it will most obviously not be, because P3 wasn't.
I mean seriously, I see people speculating some wack ass shit
hm...i thought after Main Character blocked the darkness out of the world, there would be no more use for Persona's.
& they actually get rep for it.
I'd like to correct her, but I'm not going to bother since everybody is just going to neg me until you won't be able to see my post anymore.
As far as I recall Persona's are just "another you" within your subconscious that gets awakened through the bloody mary style game/ritual called "PERSONA".
Persona's ain't some super power shit that helps you save the world.
It's just a power that comes from within & could be utilized to do whatever you want with it.
Provided that your Persona doesn't kill or eat you first, lol.
Which is why I think Death Note is more true to Persona, because the relationship between Daeth Gods & Humans were kinda similar. Not only that Death Note also has a gothic overtone to it just like what Persona used to be.
however above all this anime rulz , just the trailer ulz alone and drunkee will surely love the hot chick, this anime has HIT written all over it
i love the chick
Anime = The Five Killers

This shit looks like the Silver Case, but with people who actually fight. (Rather than just talk a lot & then get shot in the eye ball, lol.)

I love the entire idea of this show. It figures that it was written by someone from America, because americentric anime seems to be the only shit out these days that's actually badass.
Five Killers & the new Golgo 13 tv series are my picks for this year.
decoy- 01-09-2008
Live action movie of golgo13, when did that come?
news to me.
Hmm, before getting carried away by tv series i want to make sure of animation cels/tone and sex scenes will be there resembling old golgo style.
Kitano Smith- 01-09-2008
I'm loving that 5 killers project. It looks absolutely awesome.
Kroni- 01-09-2008
Woah, there's gonna be a Golgo 13 TV Series? DO WANT, but I just hope they don't tone it down for the TV (as they did with the second season of Gunslinger Girl).
Five Killers looks to be good for the fight scenes, same with Appleseed EX.
I saw the first ep of Trinity Soul, it's actually alright. No "evokers" or "dark hour" BS, just mystery and occultish forshadowing. It's got a lot less poppy high school crap as well, so it might be good.
Yeah, I'd have to agree that badass anime is less frequent, the days of HnK are over. Oh well, manga's still badass with stuff like Biomega.
axl99- 01-09-2008
The youngest brother in Trinity Soul has issues, I smell a trap. The preview really piqued my curiosity, I saw someone who resembled P2's Yukino Mayuzumi in there.
decoy- 01-10-2008
Liked the first episode, the characters as usual not attractive but the other animtion, environments+sounds/music able to create atmosphere in some scenes.
i hope they will maintain the quality, which normally decreases in episodic stuff.
However the whole persona stuff is giving me jojos BA 'stand' vibe.
And while you are it , do check jojoBA OVAs on youtube, it has all, ....really nice anime, kick ass clever characters with unique stands.
Where personas just come to ususally fight, stands in jojo are not always face to face fighters/brawlers.

Persona. Second episode... Now I'm positive they're reusing/remixing songs from the P3 soundtrack.
