This seems to be a much better season than Spring 2009, which was much better than Winter 2008. \u00a0I’m pretty inexperienced at these things, but is it always like this, with fall being the climax of the year (because fall 2008 certainly was better [on the whole] than the rest of 2008)?<\/p>\n

Needless<\/strong><\/p>\n

Darker than<\/a> Shakugan no<\/a> Cardcaptor<\/a> Lagann<\/a> seems pretty nice for a maybe-parody, maybe-shitty stereotypical shounen show with an interesting ED (to say the least).<\/p>\n

6\/10<\/p>\n

"Hey, this looks like fun!"<\/p><\/div>\n

CANAAN<\/strong><\/p>\n

I wasn’t that interested in this beforehand, and now I’m kind of interested… though this episode felt like a big set up for failure to me – I don’t know why.<\/p>\n

7\/10<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Princess Lover<\/strong><\/p>\n

With a shitty title like that, humongous breasts like those, Queen’s Blade censoring like that, etc., you’d expect this to be one horrible anime… but it’s not – rather, episode one’s somewhat of a toned down version of Hayate no Gotoku!: funny, awesome, and an amazing intro.<\/p>\n

8\/10<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Umi Monogatari: long subtitle blah blah<\/strong><\/p>\n

[has not watched episode 2 yet] Likeable characters, likeable loli, likeable art style, chibi done right and placed at the right time, loli, good humor, cute loli, etc. make this a very likeable show, though only time will tell if it can evolve into something more or degenerate into something less.<\/p>\n

7\/10<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Hey, this looks like a pretty nice anime wit- WHAT THE HELL<\/p><\/div>\n

Umineko no Naku Koro ni<\/strong><\/p>\n

[has watched episode 2] Awesome – \u00a0a very nice successor to Higurashi, and an incredible anime in its own right. \u00a0(UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU isn’t as appealing as, say, something like uguu~ though.)<\/p>\n

9\/10<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Bakemonogatari<\/strong><\/p>\n

The beginning with all the obligatory introduction junk was pretty boring, but after it picked up a little, I started to get really interested.<\/p>\n

8\/10<\/p>\n

All other anime: I don’t feel like watching any other anime until after I finally finish E7, so first impressions\/first+second [episode] impressions of other anime like Zan SZS that have been rotting in my Anime folder for a while will come out in a week.<\/p>\n

You can blame my one-sentence first impressions not on innovative first-impression format, but on my laziness to type anything more than a sentence for each anime.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
