It's a reindeer

*click* preordered the special x-mas box edition! along with their new album.

*smooch*

You know how much of what is aired now is influenced on what was previously popular? I wonder if this is the anti-Mushishi...

Moyashimon - Tales of Agriculture 1! It's about a boy who can see and talk to (CUTE) bacteria. He's a new student at a school of agriculture. The gross, old professor and a dominatrix-like professor find out about his abilities. The opening and ending are absurdly cute with the cgi bacteria. Japan has the BEST educational shows. Although the characters are pretty bland, the show is well-made and cute.

Continuing to taste-test

Are there any good live-action dramas this season? Can't say that any story or cast looks promising enough to try...

on with the anime...

Minami-ke 1! I needed more girl action, so decided to try this show. It's plain funny; not stupid funny or fanservice funny, just funny. It's about 3 sisters' day-to-day lives. Yes, sounds quite dull, but...
+ Excellent animation & bgm
+ Funny almost real-life humor
+ Cute character designs
Quick summary - The Minami sisters are made up of the eldest, quiet sister, the loud, middle sister and the smart-ass, younger sister. The first episode shows us how the middle sister torments the younger while the younger manipulates the middle and how the older keeps order. It's a cute, non-fanservice-filled, pure-hearted comedy that hopefully will keep the quality continuing. If you have a sibling or two, I think this might appeal to you. Parents seem to be a non-essential item in fictional families. Random note: Minami-ke Okawari will be an alternate retelling of this series in 2008?


Dragonaut 2! while brain-washed Kazuki gets a buff, manly dragon-person, Jin sadly lusts after Tao who turns out to be a badly-designed cgi dragon. That's enough of the human x dragon slashing for me. The characters don't hold any sort of 'new' quality for me to continue this show and yeah, those dragons are clumsily designed.

Gundam 00 2! While Code Geass's character and plot structure was initially similar to that of Gundam Seed, Gundam 00 obviously takes after Gundam Wing...but the Wufei-like character seems stuck carrying a chick around...poor guy. The Gundam Meisters take on their 2nd mission.
