It'd be great if more anime took the risk of attempting a new formula and try out something new. A new anime starting next month with art production by the artist who does the cover-art for Asian Kung Fu Generation: Yojo-Han Shinwa Taikei [youtube trailer - 1min 24sec] Spring 2010 Anime list Any on that list you're looking forward to? I'm keen to see the next OVA for Darker than Black 2. Yojo-han could also be interesting. --------------------

High school of the Dead http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MI7BPRafgPo

Verdict: Way too much fan service... It gets so stupidly ridiculous to the point where in one scene a girl is being devoured by zombies then the camera focuses up the skirt. Any potential for a half decent zombie anime gets spoiled by unecessary clevage and jiggling breasts.

UPDATE
26.10.10

Satoshi Kon, one of the truly brilliant Japanese filmmakers, passed away yesterday due to pancreatic cancer. He was 46 years old.

While still in college, he made his debut as a manga artist. Upon graduation, he worked as an assistant for Akira author Katsuhiro Otomo.

He went on to create and direct some of the most impressive and striking anime of the last two decades.Kon was working on a new film called The Dream Machine, which was slated for next year.

On August 23, the last tweet was posted on Kon's Twitter site. It reads: "I might be old-fashioned, or maybe it's just that I still admire the old values."

I suggest you read his final diary entry (translated on Japanator.com).

Some might see it as a "girl's anime" but it's really charming and light. Indeed, it's an anime worth of having Chatmonchy as its OP music! -------------------- chatmonchy Kokuhaku NOW SHIPPING!!

Mr T Group: Global Moderator Posts: 889 Member No.: 39 Joined: 24-September 07	Anyone else watching Kids on the Slope/Sakamichi no Apollon? It's by Production IG so the animation and story is excellent plus the story revolves around jazz music. I can't recommend this enough regardelss of wether you have an interest in music or not this is one of the best anime this year! Kids on the Slope (AnimeNewsNetwork) On top of all that, Kanno Yoko is in charge of the music production for this series --------------------
