July 2009 List of Picks



This past season has been some slim pickings for me. A few anime have been sustaining me, and some leftover episodes pop up, also some trailing anime. Sometimes I am interested in checking out new anime and want to list them, but then end up dropping a series or two and picking up others. This is a list of anime that I ended up watching this last season.

What I've been watching this past season:

  • Souten Kouro...the time for change has come and one man is at the eye of the storm, bloodshed and crooked politicians don't phase him (See Anime Spotlight)
  • Sengoku Basara...let's have some fun action with flashy characters, styled art, and two main characters whose rivalry takes them straight to the Demon King (See Anime Spotlight)
  • Genji Monogatari Sennenki...shield the children's eyes, it's the man that steals the hearts of maidens whose tale is told through the ages
  • Eden of the East...mysteries unfold around a young man found nude and armed, with a phone to die for (See Anime Spotlight)
  • Hetalia: Axis Powers...don't think, just indulge in the stereotype-seeped characters of Hetalia and how they go way back (See Anime Spotlight)
  • Hatsukoi Gentei...a kappa, a bijin, and a kaibutsu are a few of the trail mix of characters you'll get with this light high school comedy with underlying blooming romances
  • Valkyria Chronicles...if you've got the clueless commander, they've got a tank for him to command in this wartime story sprinkled with action, comedy and suspense
  • Tears to Tiara...don't be fooled by the first episode, this anime provides surprising laughs, characters straight out of an RPG, and some long-awaited mysteries
  • K-On!...this was light, airy fun with some high school girls banding together to experience being in a high school music club
  • Phantom: Requiem for Phantom...really want to finish this cold and slightly haunting anime about an assassin in-training (See Anime Spotlight)
  • Koukaku no Regios...this is good for some laughs, and a decent time filler if you mute the fighting music and don't expect too much
  • xxxHolic Shunmuki...I enjoyed the xxxHolic team, but think I would have enjoyed it much more if I had finished Tsubasa Chronicles
Picked up late:
Loose episodes:
Out of season anime:
  • Kurozuka...a romance borne at a gruesome beginning spires a familiar chase that spins on throughout the ages
Watched a few episodes and then dropped:
  • 07-Ghost...it got boring for me after a handful of episodes
  • Pandora Hearts...it got creepy and boring for me after a few episodes
Do you plan to watch any of these anime?
