<\/a><\/p>\nKobato.<\/span><\/h3>\nThank God I don’t read summaries before I watch shows (though I probably should have before plunging into the shithole that was Miracle Train). \u00a0Had I known this show was shoujo, I probably wouldn’t’ve given it a chance.<\/p>\n
My history with shoujo shows has been something like: emo vampires + unimpressive guys changing into random animals + Miracle Train + Mecha Mote Iinchou.<\/p>\n
But this show was different. \u00a0Sure, as 2009digitalboy says<\/a>, “…everything in it has been done a million times,” but hey, I haven’t seen much shoujo (mostly to avoid emo vampires and ugly talking train stations), and since the dojikko nature isn’t exactly for sex appeal (as opposed to shounen, where the clumsy things are often accompanied with ten thousand panty shots), there’s a different feel.<\/p>\nAnd talking of “feel,” this anime felt like my favorite manga:<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\nMaybe it’s the innocent\/naive nature that Kobato shares in common with Yotsuba? \u00a0I don’t know, but while I was watching this episode, I kept thinking back to Yotsuba. \u00a0It’s a lot harder to like Kobato (given that she’s not a six year old with green hair), but hey, it helps. \u00a0(It’s like how I keep thinking “Mushishi” while watching Natsume Yuujinchou.)<\/p>\n
tl;dr I liked Kobato.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\nSora no Otoshimono<\/span><\/h3>\nCLICHESCLICHESCLICHESCLICHESCLICHES<\/p>\n
That pretty much sums up this show. \u00a0The angel is not attractive in any way, shape, or form, I found the male lead to be one annoying bastard, and the moral of the story was… wait, why is there a [cliched] moral in episode one again?<\/p>\n
But I liked the show. \u00a0I must be a total retard. \u00a0This episode was 100% shit, and the show will probably continue to be shit until that blue haired girl comes in, because she looks cool.<\/p>\n
But I liked the show. \u00a0So in order to please my moronic side, I have placed this show under “The Good” over there –><\/p>\n

<\/a>but I actually suck. A lot. So much that the entire episode shows how much I fail. I hope that I can do what I do in the OP soon, but people would probably scoff and say 'fat chance, fanservice girl.' Come to think of it, why is my armor fitted around my boobs? Do they have to make new armor if my boobs grow?"<\/p><\/div>\n
The Sacred Blacksmith<\/span><\/h3>\nCecily Cambell, knight from the Knight Guards of the Third Independent Trade City, reminds me of Yoko Littner for some strange reason.<\/p>\n
Things in common:<\/p>\n
\n- Red hair<\/li>\n
- Emphasis on boobs<\/li>\n
- Character design<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Things that don’t match up:<\/p>\n
\n- Fighting skills<\/li>\n
- Degree of coolness<\/li>\n
- Length of speeches<\/li>\n
- Weapon strength<\/li>\n
- Boob armor<\/li>\n
- Attractiveness<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
tl;dr Yoko is better, and Cecily’s boob armor isn’t exactly a smart idea.<\/p>\n
I like this show, but that could just be me liking the character designs.<\/p>\n
