Since I’ve reacquainted myself with the joys of Xanga, I think I’ll blog stuff I watch/read on a daily basis… presuming I can keep it up…. and that’s one HUUUUUGE presumption.
EDIT: Oh how little I knew back then of what was to come (AND FUCKIN’ LOST).

Gun X Sword [2]

I caught the first ep a lil while back due to it’s supposed popularity but it just wasn’t that interesting. For no reason whatsoever, I gave it another whirl and this ep was even less interesting than the first one. It has the potential to be a damn good action series but it can also become something unoriginal, rehashed and boring. Due to this, I might hold off on more eps for a bit.

On the other hand Inoue Kikuko does the voice of Carmen 99 and, well, it’s hard to not at least watch a few more to check her out. Plus, this is a role that’s not usual for her and that makes me even more curious.

Decisions decisions…. to be continued!

Hanbun no Tsuki ga Noboru Sora [1-4]

You truly get that “hopeless” feeling when watching this one. Don’t misunderstand that word. Take it for what it’s suppose to mean… the lack of hope or having no hope. Many things you watch, no matter how dire the situation, you might think “Oh, but it’s gonna be alright. It’s got to.” You always grasp at something to give you that hope. For this one… I got nothing. I just keep thinking that no matter how happy the outlook seems during a scene, it’s just gonna end sad. I hate that. But sadly, it’s shows like this one that hook me hardcore-like.

Ichigo Mashimaro [1-2]

Hehehehehe… I couldn’t help it, I had to re-watch it.

This series is just too cute and too funny and too random and uh… too cutely randomly funny….ly….

Miu is just so weird and silly that I can’t help but laugh at everything she does. I can’t handle too much cuteness but I think I have a soft spot for this one. Beyond the cuteness, it has so much random comedy that I can ignore all the cuteness. Plus, it doesn’t try to be cute to BE cute, it uses it as a means for the comedy… or something like that. This is one anime series that I enjoy more than the manga. The comedy just flows better in the anime.

EDIT: Haha this is completely the opposite of what I posted in a previous IchiMashi entry. I noted then that the manga was better than the anime. How silly.

Finished Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha A’s and started up Noein, Gun X Sword, and Lamune.

I have no idea what it is about the two Nanoha series’ but they were so addictingly good. I call it “Sailor Ball Z.” Yes, it’s about magical girls but it’s also a show intended for guys… sounds strange but that’s the truth. I can’t comment much… I just know that it’ll go down in history as something I liked. Am I ashamed? Hell no…. maybe…. Idk. Once I figure out why I actually liked them then maybe I can find out.

Noein is more of a mind fuck then I expected. It’s different from the few things I read about. I’m not sure I want to keep following it but then I’ve only seen the first episode.

Gun X Sword started off alright. Everything I read about it is true. The MC looks like Spike from Cowboy Bebop, sounds like Spike and acts like Spike. Then the rest is like Trigun, except instead of a gun, the MC favors a sword but it’s all set in a western backdrop with futuristic technology. I didn’t expect the mechs though. I’m not too fond of mechs… especially when it’s kinda randomly thrown in. Oh well, guess I need more then one episode to make a judgment, huh?

I’m enjoying Lamune. A laid back romantic comedy. Reminds me of Ai Yori Aoshi, a manga I’m reading btw and am thoroughly enjoying. Way better then the anime.

I finally have a couple days off after work tonight so I can check out Full Metal Panic: The Second Raid. It’s complete and I have all the episodes but I kept putting it off for fear of watching it all in one sitting and losing sleep from it. Yep, I know exactly how I get with anime. The more I read about FMP: The Second Raid, the more I get interested. The first series fell a bit short, what with all the action and comedy not spliced together very well and the pseudo-second season, FMP: Fumoffu, was more of a side story filled with comedy. Of course, I loved that one. One of the funniest series’ I have ever watched. Anyway, for this official sequel, FMP: The Second Raid seems really really good. High ratings and reviews all over the place. I hope it’s not a let down.

Oooh, this anime blogging is kinda fun. Probably won’t last but at least for a lil while, this Xanga gets used.
