I Had No Idea Kanon Was this Funny
April 15th, 2008
I avoided reading anything on Kanon when it was airing. Pretty much, I thought Kanon would be a solid tear-jerker like Air, something that had a light hearted bit thrown in here and there to provide contrast, but really just wanted to make your eyes water. So far after eight episodes, Kanon has had me laughing a lot, very much more than I thought I would be. Yuichi, the male in this harem, is one funny SOB. I actually like the guy, which is an odd feeling for a harem show.
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.
Dead Flowers, Red Garden
January 25th, 2008
One volume in and I begin to wonder which Gonzo made Red Garden. Is it the one that made Last Exile and Gankutsuou or the one that made SpeedGrapher and Real Bout High School? Cheap-shot mentioning RBHS, I know. I guess either way, Red Garden promises to be horrific, though obviously I pray for the good kind.
Comic Party Revolution
January 22nd, 2008
Picked up the Comic Party Revolution thinpak collection. I originally watched Revolution through Netflix. It’s not great anime and probably not even mediocre anime, but it’s the kind of show I can easily put in the DVD player and watch again while doing other things like alphabetizing my CDs and breaking down those Hobby Search boxes for the trash. Plus, Taishi cracks me up all the time, so I grabbed it and watched it again over the weekend.
