Hello, as this is a great anime season, I personally feel that I should recommend some to anybody who happens to read this post. Probably not for the J2s, but as for the others, you can check them out if you are free. xD.

Romance
1. Akane-iro ni Somaru Saka
	The primary reason I watch this anime is because of its talented cast. By cast, I mean that it has very good voice actors. I don't really know if the plot is going to be good though. The gist of this anime seems to be the relationship between the protagonist and his unwilling tsundere fiancee and if the storyline is good, this will surely be a success.
2. Clannad ~After Story~
	A continuation to Clannad, this is expected to be as good as the first series. Just ask anybody who has watched Clannad, you are bound to get a positive response. Enough said.
3. ef - a tale of melodies
	The sequel to ef - a tale of memories. I love ef for its element of bittersweet love so I am probably following this one. It's not really a continuation of the former though, speculation says that it is going to focus on the development of the remaining characters seen in "memories".
4. Nodame Cantabile Paris Chapter
	Yet another sequel. It's prequel, Nodame Cantabile, is really an enjoyable anime. Both series incorporate music into its storyline, with Orchestra and Piano being the mode of music in question here. Being able to appreciate classical music isn't a prerequisite for you to enjoy this anime, however. According to my past impression, it's soothing and slow to moderately paced. Expecting this to be good.

Shounen (It means that guys are the primary target audience)
1. Mobile Suit Gundam 00 Season 2
	The highly anticipated season 2 is finally here! I have just watched the first episode a few hours ago and it's excellent, in terms of quality of designs, actions and screenplay. I don't have to elaborate on the popularity of the gundam series and this one has the potential to defeat its previous franchise, gundam seed.
2. Kurogane no Linebarrels
	Another mecha anime airing this season. Honestly speaking, I don't really have high hopes for this anime since it's by Gonzo. I haven't watched the first episode, but it didn't receive good review as far as I know. It seems mildly interesting, which is the reason this is mentioned. Although Gonzo allowed online streaming on CrunchyRoll, it is, sadly, not available in our region. It seems tedious to find a fansub group on this project, so I may drop it altogether instead. Wait, why did I mention this anyway?
3. Tale of the Abyss
	Being an anime adaptation of Tales RPG series by Namco, this should be familiar to RPG lovers. Seems good and interesting enough. The protagonist "gained the freedom he's been dreaming of" and "what awaits him in the outside world will shatter everything he's ever known about himself" or so to quote from the synopsis.

Other nice animes
1. Jigoku Shoujo Mitsuganae
	Literally meaning Hell Girl 3rd series. It's probably the kind of anime I am looking for since I have been somewhat looking for psychological animes ever since Higurashi no Naku Koro ni. I need to watch Jigoku Shoujo and Jigoku Shoujo Futakomori before I can really comment on this though. By the way, Jigoku Shoujo is showing on Art Central every Wednesday at 11pm for those ignorant ones. =P. They are showing two other animes from this season too, such as Casshern Sins and Skip Beat!. Casshern is a mecha anime and skip beat is a shoujo anime, both seems interesting too.
2. Vampire Knight Guilty
	For some reason, a lot of girls seem to like Vampire Knight and have been waiting for its sequel. It finally aired today so these peeps can feast on their Kaname and Zero yet again! Nonetheless, it's quite entertaining to watch because the settings involved are rather dark (sinister?), which happens to suit my taste.

There are probably other good animes around like Ga-Rei -Zero-(action), Toradora!(Tsundere romance), Shugo Chara!! Doki(magic), but it's gonna take me ages to finish all of them. Those listed above are, in my opinion, the best of their respective genre this season anyway. And as to why I chose to blog about this, hmm, I guess really just felt like it. ^^.
