As the leaves begin to turn and the air turns cooler, many people look forward to spending their time enjoying the beautiful fall weather outdoors. Well, to hell with that. I'm staying inside and watching cartoons. I've compiled this list from the [url=http://fansubwiki.com/Who_Subs_What:_FALL_2008]Fansub Wiki[/url], where you can also find air dates. Here we go: [img]http://www.ibiblio.org/phil/fnordchan/fall2008/pen-musu.jpg[/img] [url=http://pen-musu.jp/]Penguin Musume Heart 2nd Club[/url] - And it's crap right out of the starting gate! Well, what else is new. [img]http://www.ibiblio.org/phil/fnordchan/fall2008/battle-spirits.jpg[/img] [url=http://www.nagoyatv.com/battlespirits/index.sms]Battle Spirits: Shounen Toppa Bashin[/url] - I think this is the [i]ur[/i] shounen kids show. I mean, they're holding cards that they'll presumably fight with. It doesn't get more shounen than that. For god's sake, the word "shounen" is even right there in the title. [img]http://www.ibiblio.org/phil/fnordchan/fall2008/mach-girl.jpg[/img] [url=http://www.tatsunoko.co.jp/machgirl/]Mach Girl[/url] - Holy shit. It's Speed Racer reinvisioned as a ganguro cowgirl. Is it any good? [url=http://www.tatsunoko.co.jp/machgirl/movie.html]Judge for yourself.[/url] [img]http://www.ibiblio.org/phil/fnordchan/fall2008/candy-boy.jpg[/img] [url=http://candyboy.jp/]Candy Boy Episode 3[/url] - Two words: Yuri incest. [img]http://www.ibiblio.org/phil/fnordchan/fall2008/hakushaku.jpg[/img] [url=http://www.myfairy.tv/index.html]Hakushaku to Yousei[/url] - This may be shoujotastic to the hilt, but it sounds interesting. Set in Victorian England, our heroine is a "fairy doctor" (whatever that entails) who meets up with a count, at which point they set off on a quest for an enchanted sword. Might be pretty decent. [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1QMV4aBfIvU&feature=related]Here's the trailer[/url]. [img]http://www.ibiblio.org/phil/fnordchan/fall2008/toradora.jpg[/img] [url=http://www.starchild.co.jp/special/toradora/]Toradora![/url] - Can you say "tsundere"? Sure you can! He's a nice guy who happens to look like a thug. She's "the school's most dangerous animal of the highest risk level". (No doubt that's a horrible translation, but you get the idea.) Cue romantic comedy hijinx from a decent director. [img]http://www.ibiblio.org/phil/fnordchan/fall2008/noramimi2.jpg[/img] [url=http://noramimi-anime.jp/index.htm]Noramimi 2[/url] - Awesome! More of the show about a corporate mascot that's guaranteed to never be subtitled! Given the chance I would totally watch this show, but I don't think I'm going to get the chance. [img]http://www.ibiblio.org/phil/fnordchan/fall2008/rosario2.jpg[/img] [url=http://www.rosa-vam.com/]Rosario to Vampire CAPU2[/url] - More oh-so-moe supernatural hijinx starring the hapless dork in the upper right-hand corner there. [img]http://www.ibiblio.org/phil/fnordchan/fall2008/hyakko.jpg[/img] [url=http://hyakko.jp/]Hyakko[/url] - Wacky slapstick hijinx about a group of four highschool freshmen girls. [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AiQSJuq03b8]The trailer doesn't tell you much, but here it is.[/url] [img]http://www.ibiblio.org/phil/fnordchan/fall2008/kuroshitsuji.jpg[/img] [url=http://www.kuroshitsuji.tv/]Kuro Shitsuji[/url] - Gothic comedy about the hyper-competent butler to a noble family and his twelve year old master. The [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHxKyLE0DNw]trailer[/url] plays up the twelve year old bit more than I'd like, but not so much that I won't check it out. [img]http://www.ibiblio.org/phil/fnordchan/fall2008/yozakura-quartet.jpg[/img] [url=http://www.tbs.co.jp/anime/yozakura/]Yozakura Quartet[/url] - Action comedy about a group of teenage superheroes and the city they protect, courtesy of the director of Red Garden.
