So I think I heard the Gosick trailer mention TV Tokyo? If so, that's good, since it's one of the shows I'm most looking forward to and that means it'll probably be simulcast on CrunchyRoll.

Yeah, I heard the same thing. Both look interesting. Gosick's protagonist sounds bland, and I'd hate if that's true. Which is weird because Bones' protagonists are usually rather unique (Heroman aside). Kore wa Zombie Desu ne? looked quite generic at first but then they presented that broken arm joke, and the protagonist getting stabbed. The music video looks adorable. I'll have to watch it. |

Kore wa Zombie Desu ne? is the only one I'm interested in. Hope it gets picked up by CR or ANN for simulcast.

Gosick's trailer sort of lost me around the time it called it's a "boy meets girl" story, what with the girl looking like she's 10. Maybe it was meant tongue-in-cheek... I mean, it's BONES so one is tempted to give it the benefit of the doubt.

Cute girls f!@#ing things up with unspeakable amounts of adorable violence?
Oh Japan, you DO understand me! And Gosick is sort of like a loli form of the show Monk? That works too! Love Live looks vomit worthy. |

Well, it's Kadokawa that put up the trailers for Gosick and Kore wa Zombie Desu ka, but they've been fairly prolific with Crunchyroll lately too. I do hope both of them get simulcasts as I'm looking forward to checking them out. |

Well, the boy is the same age as her, so I find nothing salacious in it. They're in the same class. I believe the light novel said they're 15.
Personality-wise, the girl detective from Gosick (Victorique) is actually more like House. Which makes it even more awesome. |

My enjoyment of Gosick hinges solely on whether she merely holds a pipe, or actually smokes it.
Magical chainsaw has pretty much sold me on Kore wa Zombie. |

Sweet. Gregory House is completely bromantic! But, I would have also accepted David Caruso. Male Lead: This man didn't move to Portugal, someone smashed him with a giant boulder! Victorique: It looks like you aren't the only one *puts on lolita headdress* that likes them flat. YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!!! |

Okay, I may have to actually check out "Kore wa Zombie Desu Ka?" now. That looked kinda cool with the chainsaw and the broken arm and everything.
The song rocked. |

Thanks! From the video alone he looked quite a bit older than her, like 15 vs 10 years old. Besides, I do think there's some tongue-in-cheek involved with the phrase, it looks quirkily fun for the most part. |

Gosick: LOLI SHERLOCK HOLMES. Loli Sherlock Holmes. Am I dreaming? And there was, like, zero fanservice in that promo (erm, the chick is British or something...well, not British, but still). I will watch it. I will watch with glee.
Kore wa Zombie Desu ka?: I've been waiting for this show. It had me sold with the title, but the VAMPIRE EFFIN' NINJAS only made me even more excited. And then there was the loli with the chainsaw. Now that I see Ayumu isn't the stereotypical pre-pubescent kid who suddenly gets surrounded by hot chicks ready and willing to strip (*lolrant*), and there are giant monsters ripping through classrooms WITH chainsaw lolis and vampire ninjas, I will be watching. Despite the fanservice of said chainsaw loli. If that doesn't lead to constant fanservice in the future, I'll watch and adore~ Love Live!: Oh. Crud. I want an anime out of that. Or at least a clean promo so I can chuck it in an AMV. Or, like, a live performance at Rockefeller Center. I mean, really? TOO CUTE FOR JUST A PROMO. And I will learn that dance if it kills me. I wanna name all those chicks. I dunno why...KAWAII!

Male lead has to be bland if there's a gothic-lolita prodigy tsundere thing involved, those are the rules. After all it's easier to push that character archetype on the audience faster by making everyone else around them boring and inferior looking rather than making than actually building a strong personality off of the character in question. I'm sorry but as as much as I'm typically a Bones fan I can't give them the benefit of the doubt on this one not being a run of the mill "submissive boy meets mysterious prodigy girl and wacky adventures ensue" story, which is exactly what all the summaries and testimonials about the manga make it sound like. Especially not after their recent efforts like Heroman and even Star Driver, the former of which was pretty typical superhero fare and the latter of which is mostly chaos incarnate so far...fun as that may be at times. Not even bothering with the Zombie trailer since the whole zombie fad as of late is kind of wearing thin on me. |
