, posted Tue 8 Jul 19:43
Two more series watched from the new crop, and since Holiday wanted some opinions here I go...(Too lazy to look up other thread)
Cinderalla Boy: Too early to tell if it'll really click as the first ep was just a set-up episode, but it does have that late 70's early 80's anime feel to it. Ranma seems to be in the Lupin/Spike mold, though he does have an intresting flaw. To early to tell on Rella. I'm intrested in seeing how the handle the plot though, so I'll check out the next few eps.
Happy Lesson advanced: New School Uniform fashion show, with the Mom's! Other than that we have a more action packed start as we have a new character appearing that isn't too fond of Chitose...
Fun stuff for fans of Happy Lesson, though I'm wondering how the new character will work out.
Still waiting for more shows to hit digisub...

What happens in the ending to Divergence Eve? Catchy song? Lots of fanservice? Both?

Yeah the ending of Divergence Eve is pretty bouncy... both in the song and breasts. ;) It's actually kind of out of place compared to the serious tone of the first episode... but this is the hand maid may people afterall...
Cinderella boy has it's share of fanservice as well, full on nudity in the intro. The designs might look like Lupin... but it's really nothing like it. The animation in that show isn't too hot either, I'll still give it a chance though.

Happy Lesson Advance - Same fun and I like the new character's design. The opening and closing songs are not as great as the first season's, but still okay.
D. Eve - The ending is bouncy in terms of presentation and its song. Too bad it lacks some sort of direction.
I also saw Guardian Hearts. So much spirit and comedy, but so little fan service constraint. Don't know if I should watch more of this.
I will watch Cinderella Boy hopefully tomorrow.

It's the summer ppl!! this season is fanservice special i guess =D
I'm already following happy lesson adv. (no fanservice here but i love the series), i saw guardian hearts too i think it's nice but too much FS maybe :P
I'm downloading divergence eve right now ^^
I'm wondering... are the mizuiro ovas any good? i saw the character designs and i'm interested but i need to download it later.
And waiting for onegai twins ^^ (more fanservice but a good story too i presume)
There's no one without scars on his heart even if it exist it's just a shadow soul...

Guardian Hearts? After watching it, my fanservice tolerance = 5 level up. I like the opening song!
Watching some more Stellvia. By the way things are going, it looks like the staff of Xebec...
Lots of things revealed in Scrapped Princess ep12. Lots of butt kicking too.
Wandaba Style Gah, fansubs are slow for this series >_< Anyway, the PS2 game based on Wandaba Style will come with an original anime DVD. You can get a preview of the OVA at the game's official website. Click on the 1st "Get! Movie" graphic to download the .lzh file. Wandaba Style You can also download an ad for the game in the second "Get! Movie" graphic.
Hagane no Renkinjutsushi (Full Metal Alchemist) The manga by Arakawa Hiromu will be turned into an anime. Bones is going to handle it, hurrah! Official anime website Manga site
Chrno Crusade The anime will commence broadcast in October 2003. IIRC, Gonzo is going to handle this.

Rumic World: Wow, they kept the older Takahashi character design style instead of going for the sharper, Inuyasha look. Fits in nicely. Plus the first ep also has a character voiced by Megumi. Good animation too, but then given how big Takahashi is that's not too shocking.
On the whole it's intresting, and I do like the fact they're hitting Takahashi's more serious stuff (even in comedy). But it's also episodic, so that might not appeal to alot of people. Still good fun...
Holiday: Yes, I want more Wandaba style too..Suprisied it's moving so slow as is...-.-

Glad to know that Popotan is good. Green2 has a nude boy in the op... WRONG >_< Yeah too bad that it's bad.
De Capo is fun! I don't know why people are dissing it a lot. It's a something to take your mind off things kind of anime.
Narutaru ep2 is creepy, full of razors and cross-eyedness. The preview for the 3rd episode on the official site look even creepier. I can see that it's heading towards nasty evilness and violence soon, hehe. The op is to fool kids into watching it :D

I'm not a big fan of Oneti, but Onegai Twins was great...!
I like D.C. too, just not as much as OneTwins and Cosmos.

I just watched the raw of Onegai Twins, and I like it very very much now ^_^ And what's with all the fanservice this season?
Spoiler (Highlight to view) - You get to see groping and a nipple shot in this first episode already :)

Ikkitousen looks like another bouncy anime. Coming soon to you this month.

I don't know about the D.C singing, it seems like it? I think onegai twins is more moderated on the ecchiness though, it doesn't take up that much air time now.
I read the Ikkitousen manga. Here's the plot of the entire series: Girls strip each other while pretending to be fighting. And they do it again and again. Cue some 'story' for 1 page, and back to stripping! I'd be amazed if the anime has a storyline.
edit: OP for the Popotan game DVD version is now on the official website for people who have not gotten to see it yet! http://www.petitferret.co.jp/docs/dl/demo/opdemo.LZH This is different from the anime's opening.

Megumi's in it? That's certainly a name you don't hear now these days. You'll have to send me the episode or a link some time.
Besides Get Backers, I am also seeing Cinderella Boy and I'll get Da Capo soon.
Cinderella Boy - It has the '70's anime feel. Ranma is a mix of Lupin and Spike. Koyasu plays as him and Touma Yumi-san plays as his partner. Obviously, it has the elements of Ranma and Cinderella, but I find myself liking this. I want to watch more of it.

Never mind. I got a program w/ various codecs. As for D.C., unless anyone can say a counter statement for the seiyuu, I'm going to watch it still.

Some toughts that have been in my head after watching Happy Lesson Advance 2:
-Wasn't it a bit more dramatic than it should? Hopefully we'll have more comedy on the next episode to balance things a bit.
-Animation isn't as good as in the first series, but it's still decent.
-Yayoi still rocks.
-I love Kikuko Inoue.

Ikkitousen is kinda like Justice Gakuen meets TenTen meets Professional Wrestling matches.
Rid: Yeah, I want Happy Lesson to be a bit more happy as well. That, and I want to see more Uduki :) Since you love Kikuko Inoue, you should know that she's also going to be in Ikkitousen. Can't remember what character she plays as though.
For those who want to see screenshots for Onegai Twins, Wgalland has updated some for the 17th of July, as well as some Gadguard and Stellvia pics too. Hehe, Kouta's face is "censored"
Happy day today. Received my first doujinshiipon in the mail, among others :)

Hopefully she can redeem this show, because the manga is a steaming pile of dog crap.

Komugi rocks so hard, it's scary
Nurse Witch Komugi-chan episode 2.5 was released on the 6th of June, but I didn't buy it due to budget constraints :( It contains some bonus footage and goodies (booklet, figure etc)
Episode 3 will be released on the 10th of September.
Popotan just aired on the 17th this month. As of now, there are no fansubs of it yet. Give the fansubbers some time :)

"Wanadaba Style and more Anime thoughts"
, posted Sat 19 Jul 10:00: Wanadaba style has been licemnsed by ADV, which perhaps explains the glacial pace of the fansubs...
Happy Lesson Advanced 3 was more light hearted than 2, but still not as zany as the firsy season. Still good, though....
Ultra Maniac really isn't following the manga, and it's starting to hurt because of it.
And man, Holiday, Zepy, your really making me want Popotan....Somebody Sub it now...>.<

Actually don't expect a Digi-sub, as ADV has the rights to the series. And they don't really like Digi-subs of series they own...
Of course it means it coming out in shiny DVD form, and ADV's releases have been good so I'll take the trade off...Even if I have to wait longer.

2.5 was 10 minutes of story and 15 minutes of music video! And the full opening for super exhibition robo Big Site-tron. Cool things.
Popotan isn't bad, but it wasn't as good as I was hoping for. Cosmossou still remains my favorite of the season! Awesome show that. Edelweiss rocks.
