Next Anime Season Bleak

Monday, Nov. 9 2009 | Author: Nopy

Every tv season chartfag comes out with a list of anime that have been announced for the upcoming season along with a short description of each series. Although the next season is still 2 months away, a number of anime have already been announced and the prospects don’t look good.

With nothing really standing out from the rest, viewers might have to turn to what I call “recycled anime” or in other words, anime that has been done before but has been rewritten with some different characters and maybe something else thrown in. Take for example Sora no Wo to, a group of 5 girls join together to make some music (sound familiar to anyone?), and they’re thrown into a war just to make it different.

Then there’s the anime that just makes you wonder what the writers were smoking when they came up with this stuff. If you read the description for Qwaser of Stigmata, it sounds pretty normal at first, then you get to breast milk. Really now, what kind of person gets special powers from breast milk!? The writers for Chu-Bra must’ve been high on something too, I just don’t see a story about a girl obsessed with underwear becoming successful.

Then again, I guess considering what kind of anime have been successful recently (like Queen’s Blade), it’s not surprising that anime is moving down this path.
