do i want to watch more: Yes.
* Kemeko Deluxe!
the premise: this is madness!
initial level of expectation: High.

initial level of expectation: High.

* Mouryou no Hako (for yuri)
the premise: it has got 4 men on the promo art and they're designed by CLAMP. it has gotta be yaoi.
initial level of expectation: Negative.
what i got: zOMG it's LITERATURE! furthermore, it *actually* gives out yuri vibe, so i can't be missing it. the story is quite complex and the psychology aspect is kind of thrilling, as expected from early 20th century Japanese literary circles.

* Seto no Hanayome Jin
the premise: the chivalry is back.

initial level of expectation: Weak No.
what i got: that, and that is that. however, even if the anime is rather plain, there's something about me that makes me want to connect with Taiga and allow her to flow her RAGE to me. i guess that's my nurturing side. also the ED is kind of good.
do i want to watch more: Weak No.
