What are y'all watching from the Spring 2008 anime season? (Note that this is different from the "what anime are you watching?" thread.) Any suggestions? Anything anti-suggestions?
I feel like this season has been pretty hyped up, so I'm kind of excited (although the hype might just be from the Vampire Knight fangirls >_>;). I haven't had time to watch much yet. The variety seems pretty good this year (although my watchlist doesn't reflect that because I don't know what's actually good yet...).
Am watching:
Special A
Itazura no Kiss
Code Geass R2
Might watch:
Nijuu Mensou no Musume
Amatsuki
Himitsu: The Revelation
Wagaya no Oinari-sama
Only if I'm bored out of my brains:
Crystal Blaze
Nabari no Ou
Kamen no Maid Guy
Spring Anime Season 2008?

Macross Frontier
Allison & Lillia
Soul Eater
Nabari no Ou
Zettai Karen Children
Those are what I've watched episodes of so far. Might also check out Real Drive, Library War, Kaiba, and/or Kurenai when/if I have time.
Yeah, this season is somewhat more promising than Fall 2007.

Definitely watching:
Kaiba is from the guy responsible for the Mind Game movie. If the first episode is representative, this is the strangest and most interesting show so far this year.
Allison and Lillia is based on novels by Keiichi Sigsawa, who wrote the Kino no Tabi books.
RD Sennou Chosashitsu is potentially a good science-fiction story.
Soul Eater is flashy but fun.
Other possibilities include Kurenai, Wagaya no Oinari-sama and Library War. And there's always Chii's Sweet Home.

Allison & Lillia and Kure-Nai are my closely watched titles. Golgo 13 fits the bill for my espionage fix, but I do not recommend this to anyone on CAA. Soul Eater is more for relaxing Saturday afternoon shounen.

The synopsis for Allison & Lillia didn't blow me away, but I had no clue that it was related to Kino no Tabi. Now I have to watch it.

Special A is an anime now too? That is really cool. I've read the manga as far as the scanlators have gone, and like it. I also didn't know that Vampire Knight is an anime too, but it makes sense with all the fangirls.

"Kure-nai" is definitely on the list.
"Hakaba Kitaro" is really bizarre, based on the first ep. It's a redo of "GeGeGe no Kitaro" that's closer to the original manga (and uses the original manga's name.) Not sure what to think yet, but I may give another episode or two a shot.
"RD Sennou Chosashitsu" is probable, although the first ep was so confused I couldn't be sure
"Wagaya no Oinari-sama" has been good so far, although it could fall into a monster-of-the-week rut very easily.
I haven't seen "Library War", yet, but from the descriptions, I need to check it out.
By the way, is it me, or are the OP and ED for "Kure-Nai" completely mismatched to the series? They look like they go to some teen romance comedy.

Yeah, it's based on two light novel series he wrote]Allison[/I], and the sequel series Lillia & Treize. So far, I've enjoyed the two episodes I watched, although I have heard some people expressing disappointment.
It feels more mainstream than Kino, as it seems more of a straight up action/adventure series. I wouldn't go into it expecting anything quasi-philosophical.

Don't watch Crystal Blaze. It's pretty bad in terms of production quality. You listen to a girl whine the first half of the episode pretty much.
Nijuu is looking to be my favorite show this season, followed by Nabari no Ou. Amatsuki is pretty interesting as well.

Darn, I thought Crystal Blaze might be interesting. =/ Will probably pick up Nijuu and maaaaybe Amatsuki this week.

Watched all 11 eps of Hakaba Kitarou, and even though it's bizarre, it's a fun diversion from the normal horror anime out there. *coughLePortraitDePetiteCossettecough*
