Note: All times are given in a 24 hour format, using what I call relative day time where times are extended to show which day they belong to. For instance, Friday morning at 1:30AM would become Thursday at 25:30 to show that the episode aired late Thursday night.
By no means is this list complete, these are just the series I’m planning to watch. Check out MOON PHASE for an entire listing and AndrewLB’s Winter 2006 Wiki for who’s tentatively subbing what.
A brief run-down on my choice of shows:
Nerima Daikon Brothers – The director is Watanabe Shinichi (aka. Nabeshin). For that reason alone, this should be pretty interesting.
Magikano – This series sounds like magical girl/harem-romance fluff, but I’m willing to give it an episode to see how it is. It’s airing on Tuesdays though, so if it doesn’t impress, I probably won’t stick with it.
Kashimashi – Boy gets hit on the head by a UFO, turns into a girl, and shoujo-ai ensues. This is probably the series I’m looking the most forward to this next season after having read some of the manga.
Hanbun no Tsuki ga Noboru Sora – Two kids hospitalized kids fall in love, one of whom is going to die. The introduction for this makes it sound like a fairly decent romance drama, and since it’s airing on WOWOW, I’m expecting good things from it. The series is only six episodes long…
Shinigami no Ballad – …and Shinigami no Ballad is taking its spot midseason. Another six episode series, this is looking to be another cute and heartwarming drama about Momo the shinigami. Again, WOWOW, so I have high expectations.
REC – Funny story about REC: not knowing what the story is about, I picked up volume four of the manga and opened it up. Lo and behold, there was the main girl sprawled out naked having sex with a man who wasn’t the main character. That was quite the eye-opener. I don’t expect the animated series to be quite so ero, but it should be interesting. Incidentally, REC is about that girl, Onda Aka, an aspiring voice actress, and her relationship with the male lead, Matsumaru Humihiko.
Fate/stay night – The series that needs no introduction, Fate/stay night is probably the best known of the upcoming series. This is looking to be the action series for the winter season, which is mostly why I’m picking it up. It helps that the Curtain Raiser made the production quality look really good (though I doubt that will fully carry over to the actual series).
LEMON ANGEL PROJECT – This has the potential to be good and the potential to be really crappy. We have what a group of singing girls, part of the Lemon Angel revival project, complete with a meganekko and a goth girl. I think how good or bad this series is will ultimately be decided on the music that comes out of this, so I’m being cautiously optimistic about it.
Kage Kara Mamoru! – A ninja boy protecting a girl sounds like another hit or miss show. The premise is interesting enough for me to give this show a try, and I’m hoping for some good laughs out of this.
There are three shows – Ergo Proxy, Bincho-tan, and Rakugo Tennyo – which I am very iffy about, enough not to put them on the schedule. I’ll watch the first episodes of these (or in Ergo Proxy’s case, the mini-program/preview), but they won’t get blogged unless I feel like I can commit to watching the show. I’ve also got my eye on a few JDramas, but I’m waiting for first episodes to air before I decide on any of those.
Suggestions/Corrections/Questions are welcome 🙂

ergo proxy looks nice, samurai champloo people involved in it. anyways looks like theres not really anything GOOD GOOD persay coming this winter. Gotta wait more till spring for the great shows coming what a a drag.
Doesn’t sound like theres a lot of harem/romance shows like the fall/winter season. Then again there isn’t as many shows this season as compared with last.
My opinions for the big winners of this upcoming season are probably gonna be Fate/Stay Night (maybe if they get enough viewers they might also produce Fate/Hollow Ataraxia), Kashimashi, and REC.
i’m looking forward to Kashimashi, Hanbun no Tsuki ga Noboru Sora, Shinigami no Ballad, REC, and Fate/Stay Night…. too bad some of the stuff are going to be short (i.e., 6-9 episodes), but I haven’t read any of the manga, so maybe that’s a good thing. 🙂
PS: First comment here, but I’ve been reading this blog for awhile, keep up the great work Omni! Happy holidays!

I’m looking forward to Fate/Stay Night, Hanbun no Tsuki ga Noboru Sora (It looks awesome, a romance anime focusing on a couple like Lamune but with better drawing styles), Utawarerumono, Demon Vein and Disgaea. Not many good looking harem shows, but I’m pretty satisfied with the run ups 🙂

-What the problem is, is that you are missing language packs. When you view a page in another language without language packs it will show up as ????? or sometimes squares. Also you are asked to install language packs when you view a certain page (you should in IE, Firefox should do it automatically). If it doesnt ask you you could always change a few things in the Control Panel > Language and Regional Settings (for XP, not sure about others)
-Also if you wish to view it in english… well (http://babelfish.altavista.com/) has a translate webpage function but be warned, Unless you can *somewhat* understand FOB/broken english or just a too direct translation. I’d give an example but I’ll let you see for yourself
DISGAEA~~!!
Warukyure thnks alot for the help
as for nunka…I WANT TO LEARN JAP!! U THINK I DONT WANT TO !!!! ITS SO HARD AND CONFUSING :'( if u got any good teaching site or sumthing plz give
thnks 😀
OHH OH YA 14 LAST MORE EPISODES OF NARUTO AND THEN ITS THE NEXT GENERATION OF NARUTO =D
chances of fate/stay night bleach are very Few in numbers bleach still owns all.
Are you going to check out the new Papillion Rose? I liked the first OAV, so I’m hoping it’ll be good. Only thing that bugs me is that they slightly redesigned the characters (Face shape and eyes) so they look like typical H-game series girls. Yuck.
Angel Mercury: I hadn’t even heard about it, but now that I’ve read up on it, I am a little intrigued. We’ll see when February comes around…
Disgaia is a niceeeeeeeee funny story the caracters rocks nicely( too funny)

The main ones are Ergo Proxy, Kashimashi, and I guess Fate/stay night.
Sorry for going off topic, but I wish that Tales of Symphonia would hurry up.
