秋番上陣——下一站大熱？

這邊Wendy還抱著最新那本《夏目友人帳》唏噓啊感嘆啊，那邊一大堆十月新番已經(jīng)在摩拳擦掌拼萌點(diǎn)拼收視拼人氣。雖然夏娜第三季證實(shí)只是個(gè)謠言，但《絕望先生》推出了2.5季OVA來?yè)屽X，新一季的《高達(dá)OO》、《吸血鬼騎士》、《地獄少女》、《交響情人夢(mèng)》、《CLANNAD》、《ef》也紛紛回歸—在這么多有名續(xù)作的包圍之下，哪部新動(dòng)畫能夠殺出生路，成就年底大熱？

Someone told me this fall would be “one of the greatest anime seasons and possibly the best for this year.” Well， I’m not that sure. But we do have several new adaptations that look， well， at least interesting. If the studios get them right， they might be the next “it” shows!

Tales of the Abyss

17-year-old Luke von Fabre is forbidden to leave his home. One day， a mysterious[神秘的] girl named Tear suddenly appears. A magic explosion blows up when she runs into Luke， and the two are transported out of the house. The journey begins as Luke gradually

discovers the truth of his existence and the world…

Let’s face it – game-adapted anime can hardly

succeed. Basically， the fun of a game is in PLAYING it， not WATCHING it. But don’t forget Tales of the Abyss is part of the “Tales of ” game series. The games have decent[相當(dāng)好的] plots and beautifully designed characters. If the anime can be half as awesome as the game， I will jump in ecstasy[狂喜].

Black Butler

Sebastian is the butler of one of the noble families of England – Phantomhive. He has perfect manners and

various talents. Gracefully brewing[沏茶]

the world’s best red tea， however， this perfect butler is a demon under contract to a 12-year-old master…

MAIDS are so yesterday; BUTLERS are

today’s mainstream. Yana Toboso’s original manga has aroused heated discussions among girls these days. To me， though， England， nobility，

Gothicism[哥特派]， weird cases…all bring back

memories of a Shoujo classic: Count Cain. How far can this one go? Let’s just wait. Meanwhile，

Sebastian， I want sugar in my tea!

Tytania

After venturing[冒險(xiǎn)] into outer space，

humanity built many planetary cities. Most of these cities joined the Federation. However， the tribe[族]

of Tytania seceded from[脫離] the Federation， changed sides and received the title of Lord from the Emperor of Vardhana. From then on， Tytania has actually held hegemony[霸權(quán)] in the galaxy. But a war begins between the city of Euria and Tytania， pushing the whole world into a tempestuous[騷亂的] time…

It’s based on Yoshiki Tanaka’s novel – one of my favorites， in fact. His works are always sharp， deep， funny and witty. And you have to admit that it’s a tough job to turn his sophisticated[老練的] yet entertaining words into scenes. A lot of people from Macross are working on this anime， and the character designer is Haruhiko Mikimito. It has the potential to prevail[盛行]， but I won’t be surprised if it falls into plain disappointment…

有人告訴我，這個(gè)秋天可能是“（歷來）最棒的動(dòng)畫季之一，也許就是今年最棒的動(dòng)畫季”。喔，我可不那么確定。不過，我們確實(shí)發(fā)現(xiàn)有幾部全新的改編動(dòng)畫看起來—呃，至少還蠻有趣的。如果動(dòng)畫公司能將它們拍好的話，這些動(dòng)畫有可能就是下一批大熱！

深淵傳說

17歲的路克·馮·法布雷被關(guān)在家里。一天，一個(gè)名叫“提雅”的神秘女孩突然出現(xiàn)。在她撞上路克的時(shí)候，兩人觸發(fā)了魔法爆炸，結(jié)果被傳送到房子外面了。他們踏上了旅程，而路克逐漸發(fā)現(xiàn)自身存在以及世界的真相……

面對(duì)現(xiàn)實(shí)吧—游戲改編動(dòng)畫很難成功。從根本上說，游戲的樂趣在于“玩”，而不在于“看”。但別忘了，《深淵傳說》是“傳說”系列游戲的一分子。這些游戲的情節(jié)構(gòu)思都很巧妙，角色設(shè)計(jì)也很精致。如果動(dòng)畫能趕得上游戲一半的強(qiáng)大，我大概就會(huì)樂得蹦起來。

黑執(zhí)事

塞巴斯蒂安在英格蘭貴族之一的法多姆海恩家當(dāng)管家。他的禮儀風(fēng)度無懈可擊，而且多才多藝。然而，這位優(yōu)雅地沏著全世界最好喝的紅茶的完美管家，其實(shí)是一只與其12歲的主人簽下契約的惡魔……
