seichanBLOOD-C 10! Saya only has one classmate left, but still sings on the way to school...uh huh. She's still downing the 'coffee' and marshmallows like an addict. CLAMP + Production IG's Tsutomu Mizushima make badly paced, rather mediocre anime shows; xxxHolic and this being examples.
Usagi Drop 11! the end. Well, Rin's two front teeth come out. It's been an adorable show. Kouki doing normal boy things was pretty funny. ~8/10 rating~ for the high quality, consistent production and a great optimistic slice-of-life series. I haven't read any of the manga, so I don't know exactly how they progress to that relationship, but I wonder if this will get another season to cover Rin's teen years...hehehe.
No. 6 11! the end. There's a sunset, kiss, and a baby. Who knew? ~9/10 rating~ Let's face it. I liked the BL fanservice. The production was also consistent and very lovely at times. The story was very rushed and obviously made for readers of the novels (or to create new readers). I think anime bloggers forget that anime is made for the Japanese audience, so if someone were watching this show, they could easily pick up the book at their local bookstore or library. Thankfully, there are at least 2-3 people translating the novels which entertainingly fill in the gaps. The dystopian sci-fi part was iffy...the killer bees?Yoming?pointless in the anime, but you get a sense that the story is mostly about the conflicting world views of the two main characters...which the anime does well enough. I'm glad for once that they animated a novel from beginning to end, rather than leaving off at a random place, or creating an original end.
Mawaru Penguindrum 10! the lesser-Shaft-like episodes are a bit dull, but the plot thickens. We meet another penguin hat.
