New anime for 2009: Munto, Tears to Tiara, Minamike, and more!
[Cross-posted from Japanator]
As this year gets closer to ending, info on the new anime awaiting us next year has started to flow, starting with something of a surprise. Kyoto Animation will be completing their original OVA series, Munto, as a TV anime starting in spring 2009. Sorry Haruhi fans, but you’ll have to wait a bit longer. Those who haven’t seen the OVAs (yes, they are licensed) shouldn’t need to worry about being lost, as the TV anime will include a “director’s cut” of the OVAs with new content.
Next up, AQUAPLUS’s Tears to Tiara will be starting spring 2009 as well, lead by director Tomoki Kobayashi of Utawarerumono (also based on a game made by Leaf/AQUAPLUS) and animated by WHITE FOX. The cast for the consumer PS3 release of the game (including Yuko Goto, Mai Nakahara, Ai Shimizu, Rie Tanaka, and others) will remain the same for the anime.
The third season of Minamike will start in January, made by the staff of Minamike ~okawari~ studio Asreed, but with some changes — Hiroshi Ogawa will be director and Rie Koga will handle series composition. I’m hoping that it won’t be an okawari of okawari.
Other anime starting in January of next year include the second season of Tetsuwan Birdy: DECODE, a new Hajime no Ippo anime, Kurokami The Animation, Slayers EVOLUTION-R, and VIPER’S CREED.

Is Haruhi season 2 becoming the Duke Nukem Forever of anime? Well over a year since it was officially confirmed and still no title or airdate.
I wouldn’t mind waiting a little longer for Haruhi if we were getting something decent in its place, but a Munto TV series? The OVAs were pretty mediocre–I couldn’t even finish the second one. KyoAni seems to excel at adaptations of existing works, not original anime projects; I wish they’d stick to what they’re good at.
@Andrew F Yeah, I’ve heard that Munto wasn’t all that great (^^;;
KyoAni’s been kinda weird lately… Tonari no 801-chan announcement/sudden cancellation and all (though in that case I heard that it was a producer that brought it down). I’ve been hearing rumors for a while that they want to go to two production lines, but we’ll see about that.

I liked munto ova , even if it was pretty disappointed.
I hope the tv serie will be best…..
Sorry for my bad english , I’m french after all .
Hi there!
So far, I have watched both Kurokami and Maria+Holic. Both look pretty decent. As for all the sequels, I doubt I’ll be watching since I did not watch the previous seasons.
Happy New Year ^.-
