Here is the starting list for the shows due out this Winter ’09 / ’10 season. Thanks to ChartFag for such nice work! I am currently assembling a list of shows (based on his list and research on my own) and including links to the official sites as well as trailers for the series. I hope to have the initial version of my list out later this week.
I have started my list and it can be found here…
I’ll keep this page updated as well as new versions of the chart are released.

For those of us who don’t live near a local store that sells items like the figurines we so want to collect, we have to depend on online stores. Another respected store has now added an English portal to make shopping that much easier.
Alifista posted this article about Amiami and their new portal. At this posting, prices seem pretty good…

Looks like one more place to check when participating in the “pre-order race” to get that must have poison…
Japan Probe posted an interesting entry today titled “Otaku Rooms”. NTV apparently did a story on the popularity of anime in the United States. They visit the home of an Otaku to see his 30 years worth of collection.
Also in the story they cover some Americans learning manga drawing techniques. The otaku house was interesting… I wonder if he is in Otacool

Naruto to premier on Disney XD tonight!
From ANN
When I first heard that Disney would be adding this it kinda threw me for a loop. Here I am being someone used to the Mickey and other characters as well as the regular movies they produced. And now there is this high action Anime showing?? Disney XD is turning out to be interesting…. I wonder what they have planned next.
Don’t think my kids will be watching it soon though, I think the show is a bit out of their age range.
Browsing some links this morning, I came accross this story on the BBC website. Japan is what I would call a tech crazy country. So much so that we here in the US seem to be lagging pretty far behind in some ways. (Cell phone features and speed of Internet access come to mind).
I have on my wish list to visit there someday, in particular Akihabara and Shibuya. Since I also enjoy taking pictures though, I will really have to plan on visiting longer than just one week. My dream trip would be to NOT take the tourist trap tour but to actually meet somebody that lives there with similar interests. I suspect that a tour by someone not stuck to a planned path would be much more entertaining. For example, hidden shops to satisfy Otakuism or better restaurants with more authentic cooking (aka, not toned down for “wimpy” American taste buds)
In researching for this blog entry, I came across that Tokyo has 23 wards (another link) of which Akihabara and Shibuya are parts of. Looks like if I am going to plan a trip there, I better start soon. 
Something tells me there is LOTS to see.
Here is my version of the Fall 2009 Anime Lineup… Enjoy!

Your input is welcome. This is my first go-round creating such a list so suggestions are welcome.
A number of new Anime series coming out this Fall have caught my attention. One of these anime is an adaptation from Manga called Kimi ni Todoke (From Me to You).
While looking for a trailer I could share, I came across this well done fan created video based on the Manga.
I was not able to locate a sub’d version of the trailer, yet. When I do, I’ll update this post. Until then… here’s the trailer, in Japanese.

From ANN:
Kimi ni Todoke is about a girl named Kuronuma Sawako. She is nicknamed Sadako (from the ring) because many people see her as strange and often mistake her for a ghost. A boy called Kazehaya kun becomes her friend and, to her, is “100% refreshness.”
Kuronuma Sawako’s one wish in life is to make friends. That’s a difficult proposition when everyone who meets her cowers in terror. She admires her classmate, Kazehaya-kun, a popular, easygoing and 100% refreshing guy who is nice with everyone, even with her.
More of what is coming out this fall can be found on zotaku.com. The fine bunch of bloggers there went out of their way to put together a pretty good list. Now if I could only get caught up with my viewing list…
Ok guys, you know who you are… Those of us who are old *cough* enough to remember seeing the original Tron movie in theaters when it debuted (that would be in 1982). Well, it looks like the movie is getting a fresh coat of paint so to speak and brought into the modern age of movie making. Admit it, you either wanted a light cycle, one of the tanks or a paranoid.
Me, I’m partial to the light cycle…
Original Movie Trailer
2010 Release Trailer
Aniplex to release anime by one-man animation team Atsuya Uki this year..
Cencoroll’s story begins when a giant monster sends a town’s citizens into a panic — except for a girl named Yuki and her acquaintance Tetsu. Tetsu happens to have his own strange creature named Cenco as a pet. Another boy appears in the town and controls the monster threatening the people, and the stage is set for a battle.
Looking at the preview, this looks like it might be interesting. Although the quote above, I’m not sure yet. It is impressive though that it was created by a single person. I also appreciate the fact that the drawing / animation style is just a little different that what appears to be common these days. Looking forward to seeing this one. Looks like New Yorkers will get to see it before I do… bummed.
