My-Otome #26 Final Episode
Actually a few hilarious moment during the final episode.
Music is appropriate, animation is consistent, which is always a plus for a TV series (who doesn’t hate it if their favorite character suddenly looks like a cheaply drawn version in some random scene?)
Arika is incredibly annoying at many moments as a main character, but that’s her [...]

Starship Operators #13 Final Episode
Well, it’s definitely passable. Animation was consistent, actions (when available) were well planned and actually had some good moments. No fillers here for this quick 13 episode series adapting the sci-fi novels of the same name.
A little bit of drama, some good dose of military science fiction, mixed in with some aspect of space opera.
Most [...]

Honey & Clover #1 First Episode
Absolutely superb.
The series was mentioned from time to time from various sources, yet it can easily go unnoticed from its simple premise. Don’t make that mistake! A must watch. Wonderful first episode. Great music, tasteful animation style, laugh out loud humor, interesting and well rounded characters. Everything that says, more please.

Pumpkin Scissor #1 First Episode
Not too shabby. First episode was well executed and entertaining — definitely developed enough interest to keep watching. The characters are the usual suspects: a man with mysterious skills that may have a troubled past, and a noble but semi-naive altruistic girl who doesn’t know when to call quits.
As you watch the anime [...]

Blood+ #50 Final Episode
Fairly enjoyable and certainly not one of the worse series out there. Great music, decent action and animations — though there were the occasional hiccups with the animations. Plot was well rounded, except for a few holes here and there. Plenty of characters and none of them completely worthless.
Blood+ certainly won’t redefine [...]

Mushishi #1 First Episode
Hmm. Can’t seem to find the words to describe it. There’s something about this series that makes it feel spooky to me, even though it’s not scary at all. It’s definitely different from your usual fare. Watching it made me sleepy — but in a good way. It’s a supernatural [...]

Mai-Hime #1 First Episode
1-2
Was quite interesting. Who’s that. What’s that? Hah, that was cliche but it’s still funny. Hmm, so magical powers eh? Oh well, interesting enough to keep watching.
3-7
Hmm. Some very corny action. Lots of intentional parody and exaggeration on anime within the genre. Character developments are slow, but apparent. [...]
Soukyuu no Fafner: Right of Left OVA
Another surprise. A prequel one-shot OVA to the TV series, Right of Left introduces some new characters and manages to build up relationships within a 50 minute time frame.
Consistently showcased strong dialogue and beautiful backdrops. It carried on many of the melodramatic themes from the TV series, but it also had its own [...]
