[*Whatever By The Books*]

K-On: Will definitely be watching this, but not so sure about blogging it.
Shinkyoku Polyphonica Crimson S: Technobardic magic! Yes!
Queen’s Blade: We’ll see whether it gets too horrible, but yes for the moment!
Guin Saga: Hrm. Not quite sure wha to make of this one, yes? I’m kinda worried the twins will prove too annoying to follow, though. >.>
Saki: Quirky characters and CG mahjong! Yes!
07 Ghost: Bishounen overload! Yes!
Eden of the East: The first ep blew me away. I especially enjoyed the creative ED and…uh…interestingly-English OP. ;) Yes! (I’ll probably blog on this when ep 2 comes out, though.)
And the stuff I’m not watching… Continue Reading »

I liked Saki when I picked up the manga end of last year, and was psyched to find out the anime was going to be shown this season. Continue Reading »

(Just kidding about the twincest. :P) Guin Saga doesn’t immediately start off with Guin aka Conan — instead, there’s a visible lack of music, building up to an ominous thrum as we see a wave of black horses at night rushing across the land. Continue Reading »

I was going to title this ep “Carbon is the Root of All Evil”, but decided Overpowered Boomerang was more accurate. Shangri-La starts off with a somewhat-tantalising scene of someone undressing…we find out her name is Kuniko (though it was hard to tell from the people chanting her name), and she seems to be getting released from some kind of detention facility.

I was actually going to do Shangri-La today, but I’m STILL doing bits of my report…so you get a post I’d done up yesterday, against my better judgement.

I guess I shouldn’t have expected much from Gokujou!! Mecha Motte Iinchou, but I know I didn’t expect it to be quite this bad. It’s an awkward blend of 2D and 3D. While the last 3D anime I watched, Hoshi no Umi no Amuri, was stunning, this one was just…strange. The movements were awkward, and the transitions between 2D and 3D puzzling. Continue Reading »

Polyphonica starts off with an incomprehensible battle, and cuts to an unpopular kid with a heavenly voice in an orphanage (?) run by a nun. An armoured lady with long pink hair and long, incomprehensible name is drawn by his voice, and tells him she wants him. ._. (or ‘I want you to be my thing’ish? “Omae mo watashi dake no mono shitai.”) Continue Reading »

I starting watching Queen’s Blade expecting the worst, despite knowing from previous screenshots that the art was pretty darned competent. I should also note that it was hard to find a screenshot without boobies to put on the front page..SIGH. Continue Reading »
