Fall 2008 Anime Review

Akane-iro ni Somaru Saka: not watching. these days, harem anime aren't exactly my domain...
Bihada Ichizoku: i'll probably watch it after i load estrogen into my body. (read: no way.)
Casshern SINS: i'll watch this sometimes when i'm not under the malady of depression. but overall, this bleak series is something to watch for.
LAKNNAD After Story: not watching. look, it's like this. Jun Maeda makes good story. but as he advance in age, the story also advance toward maturity. this is where i must part with his awesomeness. dont get me wrong, this anime is good with or without the overwhelming marketing, but that's my opinion about it.
Kisruh;nDAsE: it's somewhat good. the premise make me facepalm, but i really like it when it was unrevealed, as it's kind of like The Matrix (and i was hoping the explanation is world-shattering like that). if anything, it has Aoi Sena...
Earl and Yaoi: while it has a really cool onee-san, the ending turn me away the way good DnD cleric turn undead. ugh.
ef - a tale of parodies: not watching. harem AND drama aren't exactly my domain.
Ga-Rei -Zero-: if there's an anime i'd be proudly admit to be biased toward, it is Ga-Rei -Zero-. i can probably tell you its good points, but it will take a full article. let's say that i <3 <3 <3 <3 Yomi. (the last time i had that intensity was when Chikane... they're kinda similar.)
Goku Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei: only the most refined and cultural individual possess the finesse to enjoy this anime.
Gundam 00: not watching. gundam always carry some sort of (anti-war) philosophy, but these days i disagree a lot with their tract. furthermore it's full of subtext-y (and, sadly, some not so subtext-y) yaoi. so overall: YUCK!
Gundam MS IGLOO 2: why do i see Mana in my otherwise perfectly good Gundam? o_o;;
Hokuto no Ken ~Raoh Gaiden~: i'm bipolar about this one. on one hand it's Hokuto no Ken and some of the awesome aspects of the original is transpired, but Raoh simply doesnt action enough.
Hyakko: it's an OK anime... perhaps. *kills 75% of the characters*
Jigoku Shoujo Mitsuganae: not watching. i'm a particularly irreligious person, and the idea of a divine agency that gear toward Lawful Evil is really, really distasteful for me.
Kannagi: Good show. "it's a SONY". i hope this will continue in the future, and preferably without scandals (even if they're amusing... fufufu).
Kemeko DX: as i stated before, harem isn't exactly my domain. but the ED is especially MARVELOUS, so yeah...
Erogane no Linebarrels: what an awful anime with an awful protagonist. I AM THE HERO OF JUSTICE. it's this kind of anime that GONZO should avoid making, if they're to regain their dignity.
Kuroshitsuji: one massive wallbanger after another. i actually like Sebastian... they wasted a perfectly good character with overall crap execution.
Kurozuka: i watch this, and i must say that this is awesome. Kuromitsu rape your mind harder than any oppressor can torture you.
Kyou no 5-2: not watching. the way this anime is drawn is awful to those who watch the OVA. the lack of Bible Black Face doesnt help. it probably have its own merit if it were to be THE adaptation of the manga.
Lucky Star OVA: the plotted a perfectly good waste. again. and people are buying it. again.
MAcademy Wasshoi!: it's a good anime, especially because it pander to the otaku. i kind of like it, especially because Hapxiel is around to wreak Good-fueled havoc.
Michiko to Hatchin: this anime is actually great, but i dont like anime that break outside my dreamland japan. probably.
Mouryou no Hako: this show is much, much underrated. it's basically just a Master Kyougokudou's Talk Show, but it's a talk show full of awesome. especially when his pupils are smaller, BEWARE.
Rosario to Vampire Capu2: meh... it's probably good if you incorporate watching it into a punishment game that you play with your friends.
Seto no Hanayome OVA: the legend of chivalry continues. i want to see the continuation...
Shikabane Hime AKA: this anime is Great, especially the big-boobed yuri stalker, lol. also this anime will make you consider necrophilia in addition to your existing deviations. anyway: Kessei ;_;
Shugo Chara! Doku: my hawt trap is gone, and since he chose the path of manliness i can't fap to him anymore. ;_;
Skip Beat!: only watch eps 1, and then dropped. it's just awful. if i were the main character, that guy wont escape death from my judgemental wrath. it's because women can't punish those kind of men that we, as men, feel cheated in our effort.
Tales of The Abyss: the anime is good, really. i like the characters. the part where they kick the main character when he's down is especially amusing */me sadist*
Tentai Tenshi Sunred: haven't watch this. perhaps if someone would be so kind as to send me a DVD full of fansubbed episodes?
To Aru Majutsu no INDEX: this anime, this anime, this anime... it's a massive carnival of wallbangers! they really perverted a lot of otherwise perfectly workable concepts, and the way the characters think is the primary source of my facepalm. furthermore the OP is awful, it could be a lot better than that.
Toradora!: the Palmtop Tiger is, for the most part, pisses me off. why can't she be a bit more reasonable?
Tytania: yaoi in outer space? no, no, no, and no. i dont like it when they recycle plots in outer space, and i'll absolutely get nowhere near it if it's yaoi. (Garasu no Kantai!!!)
Vampire Knight Guilty: they yaoi'd a perfectly good plot! (not watching)
Yozakura Quartet: dropped. the sound direction of this anime is just awful. the other parts are fairly decent though. gotta love the kotodama girl.
