w00t. Here it is and it does have that kukui piece I wanted from the first drama! I am in heaven now.

Each of the 7 Rozen Maiden traumend character drama discs featured a new song from kukui(Haruka Shimotsuki & myu) or ALI PROJECT. Various arranges of those tracks were used as BGMs in the stories and now they are officialy released on this Barasuishou drama bonus soundtrack CD. Love is in the air.

Well, hey, it’s 4 more than what I was waiting for in the October season. Having said that, I’m sure I’ll enjoy 2 or 3 out of these and my favorite show of the season turns out to be something not listed below… (in no particular order)

I like the pic and Yasuharu Takanashi (Jigoku Shoujo, ayakashi, Yamanade) is composing the BGMs.

While the anime pic looks awesomely serious, the original manga is apparently a comedy. Add Gonzo to that and I’m not really sure how this might turn out, but hey, I’m optimistic - Yamanade turned out great (but it wasn’t by Gonzo).

 Title: Seirei no Moribito
 Japanese Title: 精霊の守り人
 Synonym: Guardian of the Sacred Spirit

Where do I begin? Kenji Kawai (GITS movies, Higurashi, Fate/stay night, Patlabor, and so on) doing the BGMs, Kenji Kamiyama (GITS SAC) directing the show with GITS SAC writers responsible for the script again. Oh yea, and the trailer looks awesome.

On the other hand we have Production IG and their inconsistent animation quality…. Anyways, this is a potential insta-win.

 Title: El Cazador

I liked NOIR, I loved MADLAX, I love Yuki Kajiura - I’m so watching this 3rd part of BeeTrain’s “girls with guns” series.

 Title: Darker than Black - Kuro no Keiyakusha
 Japanese Title: Darker than BLACK ‐黒の契約者‐

Where do I start again? Yoko Kanno (do I have to list shows?) doing the music, Okamura (Wolfs Rain) directing and writing, BONES animating. Another potential insta-win?

 Title Tengen Toppa Gurren-Lagann
 Japanese Title: 天元突破 グレンラガン

Why? Taku Iwasaki (Read or Die, Kekkaishi, BLACK CAT and so on…) is scoring the show and maybe Gainax does a good TV series finally.

 Title: Bokura no
 Japanese Title: ぼくらの

Looks promising even though I know nothing of this Gonzo production. Chiaki Ishikawa is doing the OP/ED songs.
