Random Musings

It’s been a while since my last post. Life has come at me a little fast and annoying lately, but I’m back now to vent…er…write about some anime.

Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha

I’ve never really been one for the Mahou Shoujo genre, but after idling in the Animeblogger IRC channel, and getting thwacked by Fate-chan a few times, I figured I’d better find out what this was all about before I got into anymore trouble with Fate-chan. I’m happy to say that I’ve finished watching the first season of the show. I enjoyed it. I don’t think I got anything profound out of the show, but it was good entertainment. I’ll leave it at that. I will be watching Nanoha A’s shortly.

Rec

I still love this show. The small doses it comes in are very spot on, but I think a proper season of the show certainly would be welcome in my home.

Karin

I hate vampires. In fact, the occult pretty much annoys me. This little show about the blood making vampire Karin, really amuses me for some reason. It’s rather standard boy meets girl vampire, boy cleans up girl vampire’s nosebleed/keeps her secret, boy and girl vampire fall in love. The show has also had some rather dismal moments, but always seems to redeem itself when Karin’s family gets involved. I should be more specific, that Karin’s mother and father are actually quite a pair. Her brother is a little too bishounen for me, and the episode where they focused on his past was pretty lame. Karin’s grandmother, whom everyone mistook for Karin, even though her hair was about 10 times longer, also was somewhat annoying. But for some reason it’s amusing. Sort of a guilty pleasure.

Shuffle!

I posted a while back about me starting this show.  I haven’t gotten past episode 3.  There may be a post called “Stopping Shuffle!” very very soon.

Shakugan no Shana

The show ended at the 24th episode. It was left rather wide open, and they’ve already announced a movie, so open is good. I’ll watch more if they make it.

Neon Genesis Evangelion

I’ve been watching this show on Cartoon Network as it’s been airing. It ends next week, so I’ll have more thoughts on it after I see it to completion. Preliminary to that post: I think it’s a pretentious piece of crap. I’ve seen some creative ways to cut budgets in a show, but this one has more than I imagined. More next week.

School Rumble Second Semester

Words cannot express my excitement at the return of this show. This is one of my top all time favorite shows.

And finally:

Kage Kara Mamoru

Watching this show cannot be called a guilty pleasure. You’re just guilty of watching bad anime if you watch this. I’m watching it, but I don’t know why. I feel like a poker player that has a bad pocket pair, and I’ve bet so much that I just have to finish it to completion. You know you’re gonna go bust at the end, but you just have to see what the other guy has. I hope it ends soon.

Not much to say about this episode. It was funny, but if there was ever any episode of School Rumble that felt like a filler episode this was it. Lots of WTF moments here.

School Rumble Episodes 16, 17, and 18

Episode 16:

The gang goes on a “Tea Club” trip to a cabin in the woods. All the girls and guys go. Harima tries to confess to Tenma, Imadori chases after Mikoto, and Hanai fawns over Yakumo. All of the girls seem to keep falling for Harima, who is one lucky bastard, and he doesn’t even know it.

Episode 17:

They end the arc about Harima’s animals. It was cute, but that’s about it. A little boy comes over to hang with Yakumo, and the gang finally goes back to school.

Episode 18:

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. Hooray for Ichijou! In this episode she gets to go on a date with Imadori, who from now on will be referred to as “D-Cup Boy.” She goes on her date with D-Cup boy, we find out that she’s really strong, which is cool, although she still looks dainty in the show. I wonder if she’s all bulging like Harima when she takes her clothes off. So they go on a date, even though she knows that D-Cup boy is obsessed with Mikoto, who has D-Cups (or larger we even find out).

School Rumble 14 and 15

Episode 14

Hooray for Ichijou! Ichijou likes wrassling, and can probably kick Imadori’s butt. Too bad she’s after Imadori. Well at least she’s not fallen under the charm of Harima like all the other girls. And is it me or is the image of Harima the delinquent being slowly dissolved. I think he’s turing into a wuss, but he’s still hilarious.

Episode 15

Mikoto rules. We find out a little about her past and Eri’s as well. But didn’t I just say Mikoto rules. Yes, I did, ’nuff said. This was a cute episode. Harima apparently is still working on the manga thing, which is cool. Harima is so blinded by Tenma, he’s just entirely clueless about the other advances of the other girls. Harima you stud.

School Rumble Episode 12

First, a little background on School Rumble. High school comedy, a little like Azumanga Daioh, but actually has boys in it as actual characters. Plot, very little. Aside from certain characters being in love with others. Karasuma (not pictured today) is oblivious, Tenma (think hair antennae) loves Karasuma, and Harima (delinquent with the goatee) loves Tenma. That’s your plot and their failed confessions of love. It’s mostly slapstick comedy, but some of the best I’ve seen.

The swimsuit episode!!!! All sorts of funny in this episode. The new guy that we met last episode, Nara, is falling for Tenma. Harima is not happy and during her swimming lesson finds all sorts of clever ways to get in the way of Nara and Tenma. Eri (the blonde) and Harima have a minor (naked Harima) misunderstanding. And Mikoto and the other blonde guy get lost in some cave together. He then remarks how much he likes her boobies. I can always count on this show for laughs, yes I can!
