Saya Kind of Sucks in the First Half of Blood+
March 14th, 2008
I burned through the first half of Blood+. Normally, it takes me forever and a day to get around to watching a box set. If I go the collected box set route, it usually means I didn’t find it worthy enough to spend the extra money to get the initial single volume releases. So box sets are usually a I’ll see it when I see it, instead of a must see this now type of thing. Getting a box set felt a little different with Blood+ since it was actually one of the shows I was eager to see.
Finished 009-1
February 4th, 2008
At first, 009-1 looked like it would be an action oriented spy story, lots of gadgets, infiltration missions, and spy duels. At least, that was the impression I got from the first DVD. The series changes tempo for the rest, slowing down into something more blue that’s worth it if you can take slower riffs on infiltration, gadgets, and spy duels.
009-1 Weird Look, but I Like It
January 6th, 2008
As far as current style goes, 009-1 has a unique look to the character designs which acts as both blessing and curse. It’s a new show that looks old, so to many fans that makes 009-1 a fugly show. Fugly hurts when the sex appeal of the lead, Mylene Hoffman who comes from the curvaceous school of character design, is supposed to sell the show. On the other hand, the retro look adds a lot to the mood of 009-1, if 60’s spy movies and tv shows have ever been part of your viewing pleasure. After a few minutes I got to liking the art direction and character design quite a bit, but even though I know and get that Mylene is sexy, she doesn’t turn me on. That’s actually OK though.
Eureka Seven vol.10
November 29th, 2007
Goofy episodes in non-wacky shows, do you love them or hate them? I guess it depends on the episode or series itself, but generally I like the goofy episodes much of the time. In Eureka Seven the goofy episodes are helped out by some of the fun stuff that goes on as normal in every episode, so they’re not that far out of place.
E7 v9, Gekko State, Combat Soundtracks

With Eureka Seven it’s a broken record comment, but it’s oh so true. Each volume gets me even more pumped than before and for a different reason than before. This time what got me were the actual events of the “Big Story” moving forward with a side of LFO.
