Very little free time, but hey....

Nodame Cantabile: Finale 11! the end. (of the tv episodes) Chiaki's thoughts were funny as Nodame inadvertently insults him, rejects him and sorta breaks up with him. Very nice ending. ~8/10 rating~ smooth transition from the previous season with the same likable characters progressing in their lives. The animation was the same mediocre, but not horrible production. Nodame and Chiaki are still my favorite anime couple, since they compliment each other so well and humorously.

Letter Bee 25! the end (of this season). What a terrible manga-to-anime production. The last 15 minutes were more interesting than the previous 24 episodes, and the point was only to set-up the 2nd season. We learn that Gauche became a Marauder named Noir working for Reverse, an anti-gov't org. He shoots Lag and leaves him...credits roll. ~6/10 rating~ for an anime with wasted potential. The first couple episodes set up something unique (mailman anime!) with twisted (sometimes perverted) humor, but the half-arsed writers threw in so many fillers that you forget all the interestingness. It seems like they are saving the meat of the original manga story for the next season.

Darker the Black S2 OVA 2! continues Hei and Yin's run, but now with more Yin craziness and a touch darker. It also had more fanservice...for the guys. The detail to the setting was really nice..HK?

Durarara 12! Felt like Celty, Mikado, and Harima & Seiji all had their tentative resolutions. Izaya keeps pulling strings though. Becoming a fan of Celty and the doctor, but don't see it lasting.

Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood 50! Mustang and his men/women continue their coup, while Ed and the others try to reach the Escaflowne-esque bearded bad guy. Good stuff. Wish the series had some hour long episodes.

So about Tegami bachi it´s better if we skip the filler hell episodes, and just watch the last one and keep our hope up to the next season? I was happily watching tegami bachi more or less till that corpse doctor thing, and I stop watching in the middle of that fake-elope-episode with Sugita Tomokazu. I just couldn't take it anymore... so I can just rewatch that remake of the previous ova, and the last episode so that I can continue to believe that tegami bachi it's a wonderful work, right? (didn't read the manga yet)

Thank you very much for your hard work (^^)"
I've been reading your lj for such a long time and never really commented.

thx for reading my sometimes-coherent babble.

yes, nothing happened in tegami bachi until the last 15 minutes of the last episode, where Lag remembers that hey, didn't he make a promise to find his boy-crush...drat, too late, boy-crush has turned to the dark side.

the manga is decent. there's not many chapters out in english. i just really wanted to see the story with Niche, but didn't happen this season.

thx again. :)
