Too sleepy
Apr. 2nd, 2008 08:52 pmHyde's newly titled solo venture with Kaz has a gaudy & blinding myspace page, VAMPS (yes, the new name is gaudy, too). Actually, I have yet to see a nicely designed myspace page. Blech, myspace is ugly. Wish people would just simply update their official websites/blogs, but I guess the allure of 'friends' and 'communities' is too great.

Darker than Black 26 special! This is the DVD only episode that Japan is now fond of promoting. Y'know, to get people to buy DVDs. The episode is not a continuation of 25, but just a comedic flashback. It's pretty clever and funny, and I kinda wish the whole series was like this. It's very cute that Kiko makes Yin into a doushinji and fanfiction fangirl. This series would be a great Saturday morning cartoon if the powers-that-be wanted to license an anime that they didn't have to slice, dice and white-out.

Minami-ke -Okawari- 13! the end to a mediocre show. The first season was cute and funny, and with a seemingly higher animation budget for the second season, you'd expect better writing, but nope. While it did have a few decent moments, it largely lacked in true cute comedy. The last episode tied up the overseas study problem without any big laughs.
~5/10 rating~ for a disappointing second season. I wonder if they wanted to fill it with more fanservice as they did in the beginning, and then had some reason to back off.
