The Preview Guide is done, right? All that's left is Black Rock Shooter, and that doesn't even come out till February 3rd. I notice the Guide has disappeared from the main page too.

Apologies if an announcement has already been made, but I honestly haven't seen one.

A little disappointed I can't see the reviewers opinion on the second episode of Kikinasai. admittedly, I still hold almost no hope that it'll be anything more than incest bound drivel, but the second episode showed more promise than I had expected.

Otherwise the only series that I find worth watching this season is Space Pirates. I feel like every consecutive season of anime has less interesting shows than the last. I feel like in another year or so the only shows coming out of japan will be crappy romantic comedy harems or predictable sci-fi with terrible plots.

Where's a blockbuster anime hit when you need one.

I'm a little divided about a comment in Rebecca Silverman's review of Bodacious Space Pirates episode 2:

Quote:
"Marika's reactions, however, continue to underwhelm as she takes far too much in stride. ...... While it remains nice to see a heroine leave the hysterics alone, Marika just feels too understated in her emotions and thought processes"


I'm no stranger to the tracers whizzing overhead thing in real life and quite a few of the good combat leaders are dull, cold, distant or flaky in normal situations. But they're really good at handling when someone is trying to kill them.

But still this has to exist as an entertaining story line and being realistic can be very boring.

I decided to watch papa after all, after hearing him praise the second episode. I will be the first to say that the first episode had stuff that should have been edited out, and that it was weird with the fanservice, but it was also weird that a show that seems to be fanservicey had no new fanservice in it's second episode. I have made a conserable post about it on the ANN cast. they explain all the stuff with mother in episode 2, and prove why this show might actually have good writing

That makes me sad. I was looking forward to reading the review for it.

They'll probably skip Ozuma on Spring preview too, just like they skip all shows that air at the wrong time. Just read impressions on other forums if you want or watch the episode yourself.

So, this is the first time I'm officially reading the preview guide in time. And ZAC is quickly becoming one of my favorite reviewers. His style of writing isnt just hilarious, but also spot-on (Rating for High-School DxD = Boobs). With that said, I really like the other guys approach, so different and more in detail Smile

It's a plus that, sometimes, they agree to disagree when it comes to certain shows. That gives you more perspectives within a single website.

Now, to the shows:

I'll give Bodacious Space Pirates a try, after all those positive comments, it should be mildly entertaining, at least. Already watching Amagami SS+ (Same quality or lack of as the first season), I should get around to start Chihayafuru soon, as it sounds like something completely out of the comfort zone for me.
I'd be watching Nisemonogatari but I need to finish Bakemono first.

The rest of the shows don't interest me (Although, I must confess the redhead of Ano Nattsu De Matteru is telling me "Watch this!", but Onegai Teacher was just meh, so no)

Wouldn't that make the person hitting upon them a lolicon or something?

A month ago,I wrote a post here called "Second Review." Many of you got angry about it and I was banned. I wanted to say that my post wasn't an expression of obnoxiousness. I was just trying to be funny. I admit I should have done it better and I wanted to say I'm sorry if it was mispercieved as anything other than an attempt at humor. Once again,my humblest apologies.
