The second OP of the Anime To Aru Kagaku no Railgun was released. The new OP LEVEL5-judgelight- is also performed by fripSide like the first OP only my railgun. Really like the style of this band and the track fits the Anime pretty well. Guess the Anime is approaching the end and I still cannot see what will happen at the end of the story. The male protagonist Toma shows up from time to time in the series but still performs like a normal character. Will sure to follow the second season of the Anime To Aru Majutsu no Index.

Before we go for the recommended Anime of October 2009, I’d like to talk about the overall performance of the Anime of the month. I was not interested in most of the Anime of the month in the first place, and then after quick view of the first episode of several Anime I realized that there did exist some nice ones. And it also appears that most of the Anime of the season have lots of cute girl characters.

To Aru Kagaku no Railgun / とある科学の超電磁砲 (13 episodes)

http://www.project-railgun.net

A side story of four girls which considers to be the best of the season (by me). The protagonist Toma of the original story only showed up in a few episodes and only for a few seconds. The fight between Toma and Misaka was still a good point to watch. Hope there will be a second season of To Aru Majutsu no Index.

Kämpfer / けんぷファー (12 episodes)

http://www.starchild.co.jp/special/kenpu/

Fell in love with this series after watching/listening to the first episode. Lots of my favorite CVs around, including Kaori Nazuka (名塚 佳織) who is on the top of my list (love her voice since the Anime .hack//Roots). Lots of interesting characters in the series especially the rude version of Akane. If you like CVs and like girls, you should try it out.

Nyan Koi! / にゃんこい! (12 episodes)

http://www.tbs.co.jp/anime/nyankoi/

I thought the story would be a love triangle among the main three characters. I was wrong, at least partly when girl characters started to grow in a speed that I cannot overlook. Sometimes too many characters, especially girls may course terrible disaster to the protagonist.

Asura Cryin’ 2nd Season / アスラクライン (13 episodes)

http://www.starchild.co.jp/special/asura/

Just finished watching the first season one week ago and cannot stop keeping watching the second season. The story is quite well composed and the overall performance is above average.

Seiken no Blacksmith / 聖剣の刀鍛冶 (12 episodes)

http://www.blasmi.com/

If I read the novel of this series, I might fall in love with it. But the character design of the Anime is not my style and the characteristic of the female protagonist is…not acceptable to me. Though I don’t like the heroine the story itself is interesting, will keep on watching.

Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu 2nd Season / 乃木坂春香の秘密 (12 episodes)

http://www.nogizaka-haruka.com/

To be frankly I haven’t finished watched the first episode but the story seems to over emphasize relationship between the protagonists which is a little bit unreasonable. And sometimes the plot really scares me and I felt disgusting from time to time. Some how the story reminds me of Ai Yori Aoshi (藍より青し) which has the similar atmosphere as this one (but much more acceptable).

Seitokai no Ichizon / 生徒会の一存 (13 episodes)

http://newtype.kadocomic.jp/seitokai/index.html

This is a unique series of the season. Some fans think Drama CD is a more reasonable way to extend the original novel story among the five student union members. If you haven’t read the novel before, try not to before you finish the Anime. The recent episodes show some sad stories about each characters and this is part of the sad side of the novel. Try to have fun with the Anime series and if you decide to have a series look into the original story which claims to be 90% fun and 10% serious, try out the novel, you won’t regret.

Fairy Tail / フェアリーテイル (18 episodes)

http://kc.kodansha.co.jp/fairytail/

If you watched Rave Master (レイヴ)  before, you may like this series. If you like Hiro Mashima (真島ヒロ), you may find lots of similar thing between these two series. The series is currently ongoing and am not sure the altogether 18 episodes can demonstrate the story well.

Sora no Otoshimono / そらのおとしもの (12 episodes)

http://anime.webnt.jp/soraoto/

Cannot believe I forgot to mention this one. I was not very interested in this series in the first place since the commercial of the series is a little too ero and at that time I was more focus on the story side of the Anime of this season. But anyway I tried almost every series of the season and put this one into my list. It looks like a ero one in the first place (indeed it is) but later turned out to be some else in the recent episodes. Will keep on watching.

The ending single of Anime To Aru Kagaku no Railgun (とある科学の超電磁砲) has released. The ED Dear My Friend -Mada Minu Mirai he- (Dear My Friend －まだ見ぬ未来へ－) is performed by ELISA, a singer which I didn’t noticed until the release of the track. Quite sweet the voice, fits the ending MV well.

• ELISA – Dear My Friend -Mada Minu Mirai he-

The opening single of the Anime To Aru Kagaku no Railgun (とある科学の超電磁砲) has released. Voiced by fripSide, the OP only my railgun is really a nice track which fits the side story well. The story itself seems pointless somehow after watching the first six episodes yet Mikoto becomes quite cool when she is using her “Railgun” power.

New New Animes have arrived and the post seems a little bit late to arrive whatsoever, guess I was just lazy Back to the topic, the overall releases seem quite nice and there’re some of them really worth out expectation. Several Animes have already on air and you might have already watched them. But never mind, here we go.

To Aru Kagaku no Railgun / とある科学の超電磁砲 (13 episodes)

http://www.project-railgun.net

Guess this will be the hottest Anime of fall. A side story of Anime To Aru Majutsu no Index. No more description is needed.

Compared with Index in To Aru Majutsu no Index (とある魔術の禁書目録), I personally like Mikoto Misaka (御坂 美琴) much more. Check out the OP only my railgun by fripSide. The OP will be released on Nov 4, remember to check it out. And now, listen to it online.

Kämpfer / けんぷファー (12 episodes)

http://www.starchild.co.jp/special/kenpu/

The story seems interesting and the character design is so far acceptable. Will look into and decide whether to keep on watching.

Kämpfer (けんぷファー) is a Japanese light novel series by Toshihiko Tsukiji, with illustrations by Senmu. The story revolves around Natsuru Senō, a normal high school boy. One day he wakes up to find himself turned into a girl. A stuffed tiger “Harakiri Tora” comes to life and tells him to fight as a female psychic fighter “Kämpfer”. Having no idea about what’s going on, Natsuru is involved in the battles against other female Kämpfer. (via Wikipedia)

Nyan Koi! / にゃんこい! (12 episodes)

http://www.tbs.co.jp/anime/nyankoi/

Another new Anime of October. Seems quite interesting in the story. The first episode has been released, it may be as good as you think.

Junpei Kōsaka is a second-year high school student who despises cats and has an allergy to them. It just so happens that his high school crush is Kaede Mizuno, a girl who adores cats. One day, while walking home from school, Junpei kicks an empty can and unfortunately beans the local neko-jizō-sama (guardian deity of cats). He finds he can now understand what cats are saying, including his family’s own ill-tempered cat, Nyamusasu. However, if he does not grant 100 wishes from cats, he will turn into cat himself. (via ANN)

Asura Cryin’ 2nd Season / アスラクライン (13 episodes)

http://www.starchild.co.jp/special/asura/

Second season of Anime Asura Cryin’ (actually I haven’t finished watching the first season, just leave them to some day later).

Story: Tomo was a school kid with just one problem: he had a ghost friend for a while. One day, his life is turned upside down as his world changes into a new one, one which he couldn’t imagine before.

Tegami Bachi / Letter Bee / テガミバチ (13 episodes)

http://www.tv-tokyo.co.jp/anime/tegamibachi/

New Anime of this month. Very good Character Voice staff but not sure the rest of them.

The story takes place in the land of AmberGround, a place of perpetual night only partially illuminated by an artificial sun. Lag Seeing works as a “Letter Bee” (delivery boy) at the “Bee Hive” (a delivery service), with his Dingo, Niche, and her “pet”, Steak, traveling with him. He is entrusted with the “hearts” of everyone in AmberGround to deliver their packages. (via Wikipedia)

Seiken no Blacksmith / 聖剣の刀鍛冶 (12 episodes)

http://www.blasmi.com/

Think this is a good Anime, kind of being to Sword and Magic type. The characters are well designed and the overall quality seems fine. Will have further report after it on air.

InuYasha / 犬夜叉 (26 episodes)

http://www.ytv.co.jp/inuyasha/

Actually when I heard about this, I was shocked. What? Inuyasha? Is it an April Fool? No, definitely not. The series is going to the end in the next 26 episodes coming (not sure about the Manga). Suddenly I started to miss it and wonder when Conan, Naruto, Bleach and One Piece came to an end

Seitokai no Ichizon / 生徒会の一存 (13 episodes)

http://newtype.kadocomic.jp/seitokai/index.html

Actually I don’t have much interests in this kind of story. The pattern is that the story is quite boring but the girls are quite attractive. Not sure about this one. Will find out.

Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu 2nd Season / 乃木坂春香の秘密 (12 episodes)

http://www.nogizaka-haruka.com/

Second season of the series. Again, never watched the first season before thus I don’t have much to say about this. Any comments?

11eyes: Tsumi to Batsu to Aganai no Shoujo / 11eyes -罪と罰と贖いの少女- (12 episodes)

http://www.mmv.co.jp/special/11eyes/

A famous Galgame made into the Anime.

Satsuki Kakeru lost his sister by suicide and has been living a dull life ever since then. One day, he is transported into a bizarre world “Red Night” along with his friend Minase Yuka. In order to survive and escape from Red Night, he fights against Dark Spirits (Ralva) and Black Nights.

Kobato. / こばと。 (24 episodes)

http://www.kobato.tv/

Original manga by Clamp. Kinda looking forward to watch this series and don’t know why. Check out the content and you might know the reason.

Kobato is sweet and perky girl, but also extremely naive about the world around her. She has a “mission”, which is to fill a mysterious bottle of hers with the suffering from people’s hearts so her wish to go a certain place that she desires to go can be granted. However, she has a restriction, she is not allowed to fall in love with any person whom she heals the heart of.

Kimi ni Todoke / From Me to You / 君に届け (12 episodes)

http://www.ntv.co.jp/kiminitodoke/

This is originally a very nice Manga and it’s highly recommended. Though typically a Shoujo Manga type but the story is interesting and worth keep on reading.

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. (via ANN)

Sasameki Koto / ささめきこと (12 episodes)

http://www.sasameki.com/

The story, mainly set in a co-ed school, revolves around Sumika Murasame, a 15 year-old girl who is secretly in love with her female best friend, Ushio Kazama. Ushio likes girls too, but she’s only into cute girls, while Sumika is tall, good at sports and she has a cool personality.

Fairy Tail / フェアリーテイル (18 episodes)

http://kc.kodansha.co.jp/fairytail/

Lucy is a 16-year-old girl, who wants to be a full-fledged mage. One day when visiting Harujion Town, she meets Natsu, a young man who gets sick easily by any type of transportation. But Natsu isnt just any ordinary kid, he’s a member of one of the world’s most infamous mage guilds: Fairy Tail.

DARKER THAN BLACK 流星の双子 / ジェミニ (12 episodes)

http://www.d-black.net/

Two years have passed since Hei and Yin escaped the Syndicate after the events of the first season. Making their way to Russia, Hei encounters a young girl named Suou Pavlichenko, whose family is gradually pulled into the war between contractors and various intelligence factions. Meanwhile, Misaki Kirihara has quit her position in Foreign Affairs to begin her own investigations into Hei, the Contractors and the Syndicate. (via ANN)

All 24 episode of the Anime To Aru Majutsu no Index has finally came to an end. The head of Necessarius (surprisingly a girl she is) has shown up in the last scene which indicates that there will be a second season round.

The story ends in a scene that Hyouka Kazakiri (風斬 氷華) disappears in front of Index but will sure show up some day. The first season of the story left lots of questions, and too many side stories and characters that I cannot find the main line of the story. But sure waiting for the next season.

Big boss of the church of England. Voiced by Ayako Kawasumi (川澄 綾子).

Before the second season of the Anime, To Aru Kagaku no Railgun (とある科学の超電磁砲), the side story of To Aru Majutsu no Index, announced its Anime version. For more information, check out the official blog. Will bring more on this!

The new ending song of TV Anime To Aru Majutsu no Index sang by IKU, a singer of I’ve. IKU also sang for the ED1 Rimless ~Fuchinashi no Sekai~. The two tracks are about the same style which, to me, is a little bit different from the main eletronic style of I’ve.

This is the recent release of the Original Sound Track of Anime To Aru Majutsu no Index. Frankly the album is not very attractive to me. The tracks are dedicated by the famous I’ve that we have already known, the overall quality is just above average compared with their previous works, say, Shakugan no Shana. And the Anime is a little disappointed to me since the story became expanded and I can’t even find the main idea of this Anime. Doubt whether the novel will be better.

When I was just about to say that I’ve is not gonna make a new OP or ED for the Anime, I heard a noise of some electronic sounds from the speaker, noticing that I was watching the episode 17 of To Aru Majutsu no Index. Something wrong with my laptop? Suddenly the sound came to a clear mode, unveiling that a new track was coming.

The Single will be released on 4th. Feburary, voiced by Mami Kawada (川田まみ).

Title: masterpiece
