Higashi no Eden

Best OP of the season, right here: pretty good song and fantastic animation. It stands out for using real English. The concept is interesting and intriguing. The writing has been pretty good. It’s not an adaptation of anything, so it’s completely original. This should be a winner.

Sengoku BASARA

This is just… There are no words.

Guin Saga

It looks like fairly standard serious fantasy. Kingdom in peril, prophecies, heirs to the throne, warrior with amnesia, evil empire, etc. This seems to be a really high budget production. I mean, the art and animation look fine and they managed to get Nobuo Uematsu to do the music. Of course, the characters are a bit on the uninteresting side. I’ll keep it for now.

Hatsukoi Limited

I’m tempted to give this one a pass, being what appears to be a romantic comedy that is being adapted by JC Staff. It’s not their big project of the season (that’s Hayate). It was kind of amusing. It’s the only thing in this genre for this season though, but I’m not sure how long I’ll be staying. I guess it helps that it’s only 12 episodes, but I guess that fact didn’t help Munto TV.
