...what are you watching...

Tiger and Bunny 19! ...And people were wary of No. 6's BL overtones. C'mon, the date was on par with Nezumi & Sion's dancing scene. Hopefully, Bunny doesn't just sit there at the end of the episode.

Sacred Seven 6! There were some amusing 'polishing the stone' jokes in this episode, but dropped. The characters are darn boring even when the writers are trying to create action & suspense.

Mawaru Penguindrum 4! Fun to watch Ringo's delusions. The musical element was a nice touch.

Sacred Seven 5! beach episode...terribly dull. You learn that the butler is unappreciated. Not sure why, but none of the characters are likable. I'll see if the series turns around next week before dropping it.

Tiger and Bunny 18! Unlike Sacred Seven, these characters are quite likable. Kotetsu tries to tell Barnaby that he is quitting, but Bunny beats him to it, and considers quitting after his memories of his parents' murder become distorted.


Ouran High School Host Club 2! The acting settles nicely between being really bad and bad enough to be funny. I find it mostly funny..though the twin-cest scenes and Honey-senpai's scenes still weird me out; some characters just don't look convincing as live-action characters. The 2nd episode covers the high school health examine. While the drama follows the anime fairly closely, there are a handful of jokes missing. Makes me wish there was another season of anime. :)

Isn't it funny when your past comes back to entertain...like when you see the Transformers movies or see that Thundercats has a new cartoon. Or in the case of anime, Kenshin is coming back with a new live-action drama and new anime...And now, Hunter x Hunter is coming back with a new anime. :)

Tiger and Bunny 17! Uplifting father/daughter episode.

Ao no Exorcist 15! Time for Rin's secret to be revealed to his friends.

Sacred Seven 4! School festival episode..zzz..looks like a beach episode is up next week...zzz.

Natsume Yuujinchou San 3! Could watch Nyanko-sensei munching on food all 20 minutes and it would still be a great episode. A bully from Natsume's past comes a knocking.

Sacred Seven 3! It's sad to see that the butler character is fairly useless. Hopefully, he gets to be a magical stone boy, too. A new character who uses a Dark stone is introduced along with his moe girlfriend and an evil looking businessman or scientist (wasn't paying attention).

Sacred Seven 2! Some stupid comments about a very entertaining episode:
~ The opening song is really catchy until you get to the end.
~ Arma looks 7 feet tall standing next to the butler
~ Random girl gives rock to random boy and it's love?
~ A high school rock club is where the cool kids are at.
~ Not enough time to use a parachute...funny.
~ The battle was really lame, but the design of the evil alien rock monster was very cool.

Tiger & Bunny 15! was about Sky High's lovelife, and *spoilers* it was actually depressing.

Ikoku Meiro no Croisee 1! I wasn't going to watch this because of the loli-vibes the promo images gave out, but initial reviews were positive.

+ Lovely attention to the setting
- Zzz...

Quick impression~ 19th century 'Santa Claus' brings a young Japanese girl to France to work as a maid at a ironwork shop. I'm glad his cranky grandson also suspects he is a pervert. Ok, the preview for the next episode where Yune makes a face while tasting cheese for the first time is very cute. Unfortunately, the other 99% of the show doesn't appeal to me.


Kami-sama no Memochou 1! It's the only NEET thing to do...

- Zzz....
+ Decent JC Staff animation production

Quick impression~ The opening animation made the show look a whole lot more interesting than it turned out to be. A transfer student takes a part-time job with a NEET detective agency run by a bossy, know-it-all, loli-bait character, Alice. She reminds me of the Sherlock girl from GOSICK with more loli. There's a hodgepodge of other characters who declare themselves to be NEETs.




Sacred Seven 1! Sunrise's other shounen show, now with a slice of angst.

+ Entertaining opening & ending
+ Fast-paced quality action and production

Quick impression~ A young, anti-social boy gets something in his eye and develops powers which a rich girl and her company of maids and butler want to use. Gems or rocks are the source of the good and evil powers. Evil statues attack. Everyone joins the school geology? club at the end? Because of the slick animation and character design, this reminded me of Code Geass, but it actually leans a little more toward Star Driver with the whole magical boy transformation. All the qualities and characteristics of a successful anime are in this show which made episode 1 pretty darn likable. And while it didn't feel unique like Tiger and Bunny did right off the bat, it has potential.

Ao no Exorcist 12! Shiemi gets put into a regular schoolgirl's uniform which shows off her big chest 'cause apparently this show needed to compete with all the new moe-filled shows coming out this summer. And also because of that reason, the mysterious hooded student turns out to be a bikini-top wearing girl sent from the Vatican. (a tad disappointed that this won't be a show focused on the brothers...a la Hagaren).
