Fall 2008 Anime Season Preview

Look at all that nice anime line up we’ll have this fall! I know some of you are less than charmed by this current season so this surely comes as a relief. Personally, I think this summer’s been kicking ass but hey, there’s no denying Fall 2008’s appeal.

Code Geass R2 - 18

In this episode 18 of Code Geass R2, the Geass turns on Lelouch… again (last time being the episode where Euphy went mad). The consequences are even more devastating this time around.

No reason to pass on Odin Sphere and Disgaea anymore.

Odin Sphere and Disgaea, two of Atlus‘ best publishing efforts are getting the Greatest Hits treatment. This means they will be available at the extremely low price of $19.99. This is no doubt a great success for Atlus and shows just how much they have grown this past generation.

While Atlus didn’t actually make these two games (Credit goes to VanillaWare and Nippon Ichi Software, respectively) This achievement speaks wonderfully about their plans to expand in America. Their in-house games like the Trauma Center and Shin Megami Tensei (Persona) series no doubt benefit from their competent publishing and localization house in ATLUS USA.

Think I’m sucking up too much? Screw you, these guys rock and they deserve every bit of praise. In the meantime, look forward to Persona 4 (PS2) and Dokapon Kingdom (PS2/Wii)

Anime, a giant waste of time?

Waiting for Code Geass R2 18 to show up? When it doesn’t show up, do you go watch some anime you missed before? Ever stop to think it could be a giant waste of time? It can be hard for some of us to entertain the possibility, the answer to that question sometimes yields profound and important implications. I think it’s important to solve this question because I feel we should all feel confident about what we do with our lives and we should always review it exhaustively.
