Spice and Wolf. Zan Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei (well it's getting a bit old, but still fun). Umineko. Ok, now with that precedent. Let us look at this season. Railgun. Darker than Black. Uhh......????? Yeah I'm out of fairly good ones already. Nyan Koi is like the child of Hatsukoi Limited, and is the generic harem show with a random hook. Kaampfer is like trying to watch a show that's grappling between fan service and plot. Sora no Otoshimono IS fan service. Seitokai no Ichizon makes me go WTF. I had such high hopes for the show after hearing great things about the manga/light novel. Now I see the poor job that Studio Deen (what?) did with it. YOU'RE IN THE WRONG GENRE STUDIO DEEN. Asura Cryin' 2 is the "sigh" anime of this season because I wanted so much for the story and characters to impress me after last season. Now I'm going uhh.... soo... why are there so many weird things going on? 11eyes is one of the few shows with promise, if it can only pick up the pace. Letter Bee... Meh. I don't know if it'll turn out to be anything good. Ok, that's my rant on several series. Another problem with Fall 2009 is the lack of ANY good carry overs. Summer 2008 at least had Code Geass (at least it was something) and Macross Frontier (another fun thing to watch). This season... Needless and three Bakemonogatoris? Not enough. Please don't disappoint Winter season. Edit: kona: Unless you mean the Summer 2008 season, where there was NOTHING. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.  I turn once again to this almighty thread for advice; Suggestions for something Azumanga Diaoh-, K-ON-, Lucky Star-, Sketchbook-ish? ( except minami-ke ) Seitokai no Ichizon is probably the best you're going to get this season in that regard. Uhh... Yeah. | ||

As for Summer vs Fall, definitely Fall for me. Summer was carried entirely by bakemonogatari, it might not be fair to be complaining about zetsubou and umineko because the original media is better. But the former is no more amusing than seitokai of this season and the latter plain sucking in comparison to what it should be. Just that is enough to have 11eyes+DtB+Railgun beating Bakemonogatari far as a season goes. Spice and Wolf season 2 I can't say a thing though, since I am going to read first before anything. But that can't be better than Kobato + Kimi no Todoke. | ||

Kobato. It's like any other CLAMP anime. I'm not impressed. Kimi ni Todoke is far too slow paced. By episode three I'm tired of the arigatouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuus. Please introduce something new. Please DO more stuff faster. And the only reason Summer felt carried by Bake is because it was so much better than the other animes by a long shot... Except Spice and Wolf 2. If you don't watch that one, you're missing out on the show that's just right below Bake in terms of awesomeness. Shame it got overshadowed by the hype surrounding Bakemonogatori. Please don't judge summer until you've seen it. The style of shows across seasons has also shifted dramatically. What is the deal with all the harem and moe shows this season? It's very, very disappointing. | ||

Shauni::KyoAni, Mystlord::CLAMP? Kimi ni Todoke pacing is fine, but I also watch Aria on a normal basis instead of for relaxation. I am not watching Horo till I read the novels, that's that. Also, the reactions to it from what I've seen are a long shot from the kind of acclaims that you are giving it. Personally I am going by pure enjoyment, since a more serious look would obviously favor those with better storyline, which spells doom for those harem and moe shows. Fine for a show, perhaps, but not exactly a fair method of comparison for a season. | ||

I don't hate CLAMP, it's just that most of them follow a predefined pattern in terms of how they play out. I sense some elements of Chobits in Kobato. I tend to lean away from those shows that lean heavily towards fan service. That axes a lot of the shows of the fall season. Then add in shows that seem to have mixed goals and messages for the fall season and that means that I get bored. Or maybe it's just that I had high expectations after seeing so many good Summer animes. I'm also sad because so many shows have the potential to become the best of the season, but there's just something holding it back. | ||

Yeah, there are elements of Chobits in Kobato, namely the characters appearing You have to keep in mind that CLAMP more or less shoots after a certain audience, to have it play out different in that situation would be strange.I am fine with shows with fan service, until I get fed up with fan service. Seitokai just balances the humor and the random and the fan service (what little of it there are) nicely enough for me to enjoy it greatly. To be honest, I don't try to hold standards across seasons. After all, I have nothing against myself, no reason to let my love for Bakemonogatari screw over my enjoyment of practically everything for the next 6 months. | ||

I'm not exactly sure why I can't get into Seitokai. It's very Lucky Star in terms of its jokes and references. I always judge shows relatively. I can't watch something made by CLAMP without comparing it to their other works, and I dunno. None of the shows here seem to be showing the animation studio's true potential. Or maybe their good teams are taking a break. I don't know. | ||

EDIT - and forget everything I said about fan service and Seitokai, this week's episode has more than enough to overload the whole season thus far. | ||
