I’ve been feeling a bit bummed lately that I have not been able to post as reguraly as I would like. Work and family life has been keeping me on my toes of late. I have been able to keep up with some of my anime viewing list at least and order a couple figurines here and there. My appologies for not posting the Summer 2010 show listing. Just to busy to commit to it.
One nicely put together list can be found at Chartfag. It presents a nice easy view of the shows coming soon.
Ok, so I’ve shared some of the links I used to see what is happening in anime this Summer. What do I think of the shows so far? Well, to be honest, I have not dove into the Summer season. I’m still trying to get caught up on the Spring season. There is one series I just had to peak at and that is “Highschool of the Dead”. You could say it was like driving past a car wreck. You just have to peek. Well, HotD is NOT a car wreck. Plenty of flesh ripping, head smashing, running away from zombies. I was thinking I might pass on this series when I saw the first hints of it a few months back but instead I have enjoyed what I have seen so far. If that is your type of action, check it out.
So for a quick review using a simple method. Here is what I think of the Spring season releases.
Senkou No Night Raid – Watched one episode and decided to pass on the series…
Hakuouki Shinsengumi Kitan – Pretty good story line. Been watching at lunch. Like it.
Arakawa Under the Bridge – Strange, like me. I really enjoy this series for its blatant weirdness.
Giant Killing – Did not think I would get into this sports anime but now I find myself routing for the team. Good show.
Rainbow – This is a difficult one to watch. Really can make one think and can be direct at times. Intentionaly violent.
Mayoi Neko Overrun! – Fun series. Strange it seems to be more about the friends than the cat character.
Seikon no Qwaser – Umm, yeah. Blatant excuse to flash people. (Especially if you catch the directors version)
I’m ashamed, from the Winter season, I’m still watching these:
Yumeiro Patissiere – not to bad, light hearted. I watch an episode to improve my mood or after a really heavy anime.
Winter Sonata – YES, I am watching this, slowly but I am watching it. You can say it is a soap opera and I won’t disagree.
What am I reading… not much but I do keep adding to my library. In my backpack at the moment is Blood+ Volume 2 and Spice and Wolf volume 1.
Well, that’s a quick update. I’d like to do more here so if you have a suggestion or 2, feel free to let me know.
