July
It's been a busy month! Let's see, i've got a boatload of anime i've watched.
Ergo Proxy
i managed to catch up on more than just the first four episodes. i really like the look of this anime. it's crisp and has a strong style. i absolutely love the opening and ending songs. the opening, in particular, is very well put together.
the story is also pretty interesting. as the story progresses, the characters develop more depth than i expected. i have seen a few episode i did not like. i would also argue many episode only contributed minimally to developing the story, but it's hard to find fault with that when there are series with dozens of filler episodes.
Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS
i've caught a few more episodes. this series feels a bit adolescent, but there are elements of it i really like. i've watched up to episode 12. most of the early episodes are developmental and i found myself longing for the story to really kick in to high gear. episodes 11 and 12 feel like they might be the start of that.
i wish the quality of the animation were a bit better. there are times the quality seems really poor. for example, when Suburu creates her Wind Roads.
Bleach
i really hate Bleach right now. the most recent three episodes were pure filler. having read the manga, i know what's coming and i'm not looking forward to it. the manga has _just_ started to pick up with the battle between Ichigo and GrimJaw, but that means there are dozens of episodes to snore through before the anime becomes interesting again. it's like the seemingly endless trek through Soul Society all over again.
Naruto Shippuuden
Naruto, on the other hand, i'm finding more and more interesting. in this case, knowing the manga merely keeps me glued to my seat waiting for more.
Mai Hime/My-Otome/My-Otome Zwei
there seems to be popular sentiment that Mai Hime is better than the others. that just leads me to believe most people are gullible saps who succumb easily to having their symapthies plundered.
don't get me wrong, i find Mai Hime interesting. i like the interaction between its characters. i find the concept compelling. i just find the execution to be poor. it's way to easy to play on people's symapthies with an easy sob story. beyond that, the story is pretty weak.
My-Otome isn't encumbered by the same emotional baggage. it's genuinely funny and enjoyable. it may not have as much depth, and it may be a simpler story, but it works for me. i like the concept much much more.
My-Otome Zwei is wonderful. let me just say, episode two is probably the one anime i have watched more times than any other. i actually watched it multiple times even before watching the complete My-Otome series. it makes a lot more sense now, of course. even after repeated watchings, i can't help but chuckle at Armitage's megaphone march to the bus. the animation is solid, the concepts are great, and i absolutely love the background music.
My-Otome has just somehow managed to elevate too many of its characters into my heart! i love so many of them!
