|  "Winter Anime thoughts..."
, posted Sun 18 Jan 20:53:
Well, we're well into the new season for anime and I've finally watched enough of the new shows by digisub or Raw (Yes, this season HAS been slow) to offer up some comments. As always, take everything said with a grain of salt and what not...
And typical Spoiler warnings, though I try not to get into specifics.
Comic Party Revolutions: AKA - WHY IS THIS NOT A TV SERIES, YET WE HAVE DIVERGENCE EVE 2! IT'S NOT FAIR!!!
In non-fanboy speak, this had everything I liked about the TV series and more. Lots of humor, a nice touching plot, and Emi vs Hot Spring Panda. The only downside is they had no Multi cameo, but Taishi makes up for that. My favorite new anime and OAV of the season so far....
Jubei-chan 2: Siberian Counterattack - AKA, why they heck hasn't this been Digisubbed yet...(I'm guessing Bandai).
So far it's been as fun as the old series, with the usual Daichi mix of sillyness and seriousness. Action is well animated, and the new characters are quite nice. Probably my favorite TV series of the new season right now...
Mezzo: DSA - AKA The tv series with Paul Lennon in it, the son of Lennon McCartney!
Based of the Hentai OAV (Which I haven't seen), this series skips the ecchi and goes straight for the action. So far it's fun, enjoyable action and I like the characters. We'll see if it'll have a strong central plot to help pull it above good and into great, though the potential Desciple I saw in episode 2 does hold promise. And it has a rocking theme, and Paul Lennon and a Pink Beetle...Which is fitting in some odd sense...
Daphne Of the Deep Blue Sea - AKA My fanservice fill for the season
Saw it unsubbed, and while I didn't catch alot of the plot stuff I did enjoy what I saw. Some nice action bits, some nice story bits, and a pretty nice cliffhanger at the end of the episode. We'll see if it holds out when the subs come out and in future episodes...
Cosprayers - AKA Are they using the r instead of the L on purpose?
Caught it subbed today, and I'm split. The concept is neat, and it involves the Amaretsu in a cave story (Which I first read in UY...). Don't really care much for the main lead, though, and the training theme for the later epsidoes doesn't seem all that exciting to me. I agree with Momotato, though, that the ending is awesome. And it's enjoyable enough to keep watching...
Yumeria - AKA - We'll see this on DVD in NA, but hell will freeze over before the game comes over in English.
This kinda of snuck up on me. I wasn't expecting too much, not really keeping up on the game itself. But this was a fun little episode, with a nice opening and characters that are really enjoyable. You think they fall into stereotypes, but then they escape them very easily which makes them even more endearing. And Mone-chan is tailor made for a music Video with a Billy Idol song! (On second thought...No, that's a bad idea...Though Saikano to Who's Next would rock). Great fun, and I look forward to more.
Marie-sama ga Miteru - AKA YURI! And I'm not talking about Sakazaki Yuri...
Slow paced character drama set in a girls private school. Naturally, this is right up my ally as I like well written slow romances (be it shoujo or shonen). Others have compared it to Onnisama E, but since I haven't seen it (BAD RICHARD!) I compare it more to the parts of Utena where they delt with School life. Not as extreme as Utena got (Well, they may get there in later episodes) but it has the feel and look Utena had. If your not a fan of Slow shows you might wanna avoid this, but if you like them like I do then check this out...
Shows I'm still waiting to watch - AKA I'll wait for subs - Burn Up Scramble, Diamond Dust Drops, Gokusan.
Shows I'll pass on - Divergence Eve 2, Area 88 (Never cared much for the manga or the OAV, so don't take that as a comment on it's quality Area 88 fans...).
Anime I'm most looking forward too next season - Marmalade Boy Box 1! DOSHIO~!
Separated at Birth?
