![]() ![]() Credits: 61,124 | Re: 2008 Anime Preview - Winter Season I'll be checking out Persona, Hakaba Kitarou, and Spicy Wolf. And I've been pondering getting into Zetsubou Sensei for awhile... a look through the 2nd season's website makes me think I will love it with a great and pulsating passion: so I'll grab the first volume of the manga tomorrow and see where it leads me. I haven't seen the first season though, so the 2nd will have to wait either way ^_^; Straight Jacket also looks phenomenal from the concept art... though it could be total style over substance crap. If I see it on the rental shelf: maybe. |

Newbie | Re: 2008 Anime Preview - Winter Season Watching H20 Rosario Minamike Season 2 Gunslinger Girls S2 Persona Trinity Soul They are my Noble Master Minami ke S1 is pretty good and funny. looking forward to S2. Gunslinger Girl Season 1 was suck. i think the english fansubs will have a very minimum of chances to do Season 2. So regardless of the manga, i will put about minimum attention to this series For Rosario, i will look forward to it, since the first first 2 episodes already give it enough attention to me to catch this series. H20, is from game, so i will see how this is goes for Persona, i will keep watching it for now They are my noble master is weird, but also contain comedy. i will give this one a go for now |

![]() Credits: 10,299 | Re: 2008 Anime Preview - Winter Season Well I'm watching Rosario+Vampire, Persona, and Wolf&Spice. So far for what I have seen of all three of them, I'm going to keep watching them. They all really seem to keep my attention so far. When I get some more time I'm also going to check our true tears and H2O. But I can say that I have seen the first one of They are my noble masters, I didn't really care all that much for it. So unless I have nothing better to watch I'm going to skip that one.
