And even more anime....Jun Fukuyama time...

Code Geass - Lelouch of the Rebellion 1! may make me watch mechs again.

+ Nice to know Britannia Empire is code for American ass..on that map.
+ Excellent character designs and amusing personalities. Everyone has a big load of highly entertaining arrogance.
+ Good animation with pretty good action scenes.
+ Asuran and Kira rabu rabu lives on. Jun Fukuyama does a nice insane character with Lelouch while Takahiro Sakurai plays his love bestest childhood friend, Suzaku.
- Skating mechs look very lame.
- What was with the trumpet 'wonk wonk' and jazz during the forced suicide scene?
+ Flow's opening song will probably grow on me. Ali Project's ending song is interesting as usual.
- ACK! There is a pink-haired Lacus clone...noooooooo! The other female (non-military/rebel) characters look very squeal-y.

Quick impression~ This mech series like those before it showcases a plethora of slashable characters. uh...right. Britannia has taken over Japan and renames it Area 11. Colonies always rise up when forced to eat things like haggis and spotted dick. Lelouch gains a power that controls people. He has an attractive evil face. The story seems fast-paced and action-filled. It's also a bit melodramatic (the go Japan sentiment?), but the eye-candy makes up for it. If only Tsubasa were as such.



Busou Renkin 1! Only read one chapter of the manga a looong time ago.

- Mid-quality production, I foresee times of bad animation.
+ Seems like a decent shonen fighting anime along the lines of Bleach.
+ Jun Fukuyama voices the main character, Muto Kazuki, who is amusingly dorky.
+ The monster designs, alchemy-tool designs and fighting scenes are pretty interesting and violent.
- No opening this time. The ending song was a typical slow pop ballad.

Quick impression~ Boy tries to save girl, dies, comes back with alchemy. The monsters are homonculus made by alchemy; not unlike those of Hagaren. I'm sure Kazuki and Tokiko (the Rukia of this show) will fight more and get stronger. Not sure if I'll continue this anime especially if Naruto and Bleach resume their manga storylines, but it seems like a fun action-filled anime.

~ah...only one more new anime on my list to view. then, gotta find those doramas.

i think it should be entertaining. all the characters seem quite fun, but i do hope the pink-haired girl doesn't wear dresses in which her girl-parts are barely covered. >_
