And we start again with more Nyanko-sensei

Natsume Yuujinchou Shi 1! unexpectedly delved into another Matoba storyline which started off the new season with a surprisingly darker tone; well, as dark as this series can get. The opening and ending theme songs were pretty forgettable, but there were cute chibi-Natsume visuals in the opening and a nice scene at the end.

Fate/Prototype OAD! is a short one-off animation of the original creater's initial concept of Fate/Stay Night. It's interesting that Saber was initially a male character; in keeping with being King Arthur's reincarnation. And that his Master was an angst-ridden, megane-female character. The OAD is a decent trailer-like episode, but I think that's only because the production team is that of Fate/Zero and not FSN. Saber being a prince-like character is nice, but I think Saber being a female character brings a great dynamic to FZ; (probably more appealing to the fanboys, too). In FSN, Saber was unfortunately under-utilized for much of the story and not very interesting to me. I suppose I should expect more possible anime from this popular franchise? Well, as long as ufotable is in charge of the animation.

And the second season of Sherlock has started. The first episode was great fun. I think the fact that Steven Moffat being the writer makes a large difference in how entertaining the episode is for me; same level of enjoyment goes for his Doctor Who episodes. Irene Adler was unexpected, and the end was a bit of sweet fluff. The next two episodes like the first season are not written by Moffat, but I'll try to stay awake through them.
