Finishing up the stragglers
Dec. 30th, 2007 10:39 amHey, was Sasuke and Itachi's fight really only 2..ok 10 pages? Hope there is more to that.
Mononoke 1-12! mentioned and recced by many people, I finally finished this up. Not sure if the medicine seller is as hot as all the fangirls like to say, but he is one interesting oddball. It's a beautifully-styled series with awesome set designs and animation. This was a spin-off of the horror anime, Ayakashi, which I never got into because of the ear-grating wailing woman. As with Mushishi and the following show, this did lag during some of the storytelling. Basically, the medicine seller purifies mononoke, but only after the mononoke scares the truth out of their victims. ~7/10 rating~ Not quite as horryifying as the show tries to convey, but beautiful nonetheless. The op/ed songs were horrifying.
Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei 7-12! happily finished this one, too. In episode 7, Sensei and girls delve into the land of doujinshi, more crossovers and Mikoshi. Not quite as funny as the previous episodes, but entertaining. Even more crossovers as Loveless gets a nod in episode 8. Ushi Kagerou's story is amusing. Episode 9 is about one's mistakes. 11 was unexpected, but not as unexpected as 12 as the writers disregarded episode 11's cliffhanger. Episode 12 introduces us to two other problematic students. ~7/10 rating~ The dry humor is well-made.
