Natsuyuki Rendezvous Review

Anime Spotlight - K

So "K" is one of the series on the upcoming Fall Season lineup. Why did I decide to set it apart and honor it with its own post? Well, to be very honest, there is nothing immediately impressive about the production studio or director, but there are a couple of eye grabbing facts. First, all the trailers released up to this point boast god tier animation. That's a pretty flashy entry into the stage if you ask me. I can't vouch for the story –  we know absolutely nothing about it , but one thing is for sure, the company is ready to throw in some pretty gigantic budget.

Second, and also why I made this post, the project in question has attracted a good number of well known seiyuu. The cast is grand and I mean, really grand. The list of names has a petrifying effect, even on someone like me who don't normally rave over voice actors. Let's take a look.

Daisuke Namikawa
Ulquiorra (Bleach), Fai (Tsubasa), Italy (Hetalia Axis Powers)
Daisuke Ono
Sebastian (Black Butler), Itsuki Koizumi (The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya), Shizuo Heiwajima (Durarara!!)
Jun Fukuyama 
Grell (Black Butler), Lelouch (Code Geass),  Ayasegawa Yumichika (Bleach), Shimao (Natsuyuki Rendezvous)
Mamoru Miyano
Light Yagami (Death Note), Masaomi Kida (Durarara!!), Tamaki (Ouran High School Host Club), Death the Kid (Soul Eater)
Miyuki Sawashiro
Celty (Durarara!!), Shinku (Rozen Maiden)
Satomi Satou 
Chitanda Eru (Hyouka), Ritsu Tainaka (K-ON!)
Takahiro Sakurai
Claude (Black Butler), Kira Izuru (Bleach), Suzaku (Code Geass), Yu Kanda (D.Gray-Man),
Yuichi Nakamura
Greed (Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood), Hotarou Oreki (Hyouka), Hazuki (Natsuyuki Rendezvous)

The cast parallels if not surpasses what we had for Polar Bear Cafe, and that was already one hell of a cast that got everyone talking. Well, if all things fail, at least the show will have commercial success. I'm pretty hyped up to hear Light talking Lelouch that's for sure.

Progress Report - Spring/Early Summer Edition

This is just one of those miscellaneous post about my watch list. There aren't gonna be a whole lot of info here regarding currently airing series or upcoming ones. On that note, I feel very reluctant about writing season previews, simply because I don't think I have what it takes to carry on the task. For one, it's extremely time consuming, for two, I would feel the pressure to prepare one for every season and I don't want to trap myself into the habit. There are plenty of previews out there written by excellent bloggers that offer more than enough to keep you informed, so I shall be the lazy bum I am and leave the task to the more experienced.
