The only thing airing today was Cool x Spicy Wolf. It was really weird to see a period anime set in that time frame, and the music they used didn’t help me think otherwise. Horo reminds me of the firefox mascot lol. Lawrence was compared a lot to Lulu from Code Geass by NicoNicoers, but since I chose to ignore that show I could only think of Keita from Inukami or Kazuki from Busou Renkin. ON the topic of Inukami, I had the exact same deja vu’s due to the whole dude with wolf/dog/fox thing with him. I’m not sure where this show is going to go, but the studio also did Rizelmine and that LoveLove/Hit wo Nerae/Cosplayers series. All of them had really dumb fanservice, but they all had romantic comedy too so I’m hoping I’ll get to see that in this series as well. I’ll give it another ep or 2 before I make a decision about blogging it. Anybody know how long it’s supposed to run?

So because I was busy shopping for beds and mattresses today I didn’t get a chance to watch this stuff until later in the evening. Lots of premieres today so let’s get the [snow]ball rolling.

Persona -Trinity Soul-: I said “ew” more than once but at the same time it was kinda interesting. I also LOLed at their bizarro music selection as well as the scene where the guy has a sword come out of his crotch stomach like in Utena or something. I think I’ll give it another shot, it’s only 13 episodes so picking this up wouldn’t be too painful, especially on a Saturday when I only currently have 2 shows to blog. Continue Reading »

So the only show today was that Hatenko Yuugi show. I’m sorta in a dilemma about this and here is why: All the manga covers have the girl and the guy in these cheesy shoujoey poses which = romance. However after watching episode 1 I could barely make it through. None of characters had caught my interest, things happened really fast without any flow. I mean one minute they’re in a forest, the next they’re in the old guy’s house? Wth? Has anybody read the manga? Does this have the potential to get better and/or have some romance?? Or is this gonna be a lame boring gag show. I mean next week’s episode features rabid dogs and a shota Perhaps this story has potential but the way Studio Deen executed it made it no better than Tits + Vampire (which by the way I enjoyed chapter 1 of the manga lot more than the anime. Rant forth coming.) I dunno, I may check out next week’s ep but this was so incredibly boring I doubt I’ll pick it up for my blogging schedule let alone bother watching the rest.

I could start this post with how much I hate Vista with the fire of a thousand suns, but let’s just skip that and move on to the fact that most of my shows will now be watched through niconico because that doesn’t freeze and crash my computer but anyway. So we begin the winter lineup with the good the bad and the ugly, but mostly the ugly because looking at everyone’s pre-season posts the lineup looked as exciting as the crowd on the morning commute at the NY Subway.

Let’s begin with the atrocities of this evening:
Rosario to Vampire: Or as I’d like to call “Rosario to Pantsu”. Someone shoulda started a panty counter, and I have no doubt in one of the other niconico uploads of this how someone probably did. I think if it wasn’t for everyone’s comments I woulda just stopped watching 10 minutes in. Continue Reading »

Double your pleasure, double your fun, it’s the statement of the ranting in Hinano gum. On to part 5!

Rental Magica - This COULD be a cool show…10 years ago. Something about it just reminds me of something I must have seen ages ago and it almost feels like a deja vu to me. The only thing I can really think of is Gatekeepers and xxxHolic but there’s definitely something familiar about this whole atmosphere. Unfortunately it fails to impress me and nothing about it stands out enough to keep me glued to the screen. Frankly it seems like “rental case of the week” until some random plot happens surrounding the Shacho Iwa guy and his eyeball. Continue Reading »

Continuing with the trend of the shitty emo fall season here’s part 4 coming at ya!

ef -tale of memories - I HATE YOU SHAFT DIE IN A FIRE YOU RUINED WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN A GOOD SHOW. No seriously, why the hell do they gotta insert weird scenes every 5 minutes? This isn’t Zetsubou Sensei or Negima, for a serious anime couldn’t you at least toned down your stupid effects? We don’t need one every second to get the point accross, in fact you are throwing me off my emotional train of thought here by inserting random shit that totally disrupts the flow of the show.

The short end of the stick! Here’s part 3 coming at ya!

Dragonaut - The Resonance - Alright now normally I don’t really care for shows like this, but for the hell of it I watched the whole episode…and it’s just one big joke lol! Every few minutes I went “hey this is like ____” then a few min later “no wait it’s like ____”. Most prominently it reminded me of Infinite Ryvius meets Zegapain with a side of Code Geass.
