Finished a bunch since last i posted:
Marimite 2: Liked this one a lot more than the first one - interesting plot twists... not so much *starry-eyed* "onee-sama" *glomps*. The outtakes were fair cool too haha. But yes, the sinister atmosphere that developed towards the end was awesome!!! Didn't like how long they spent on sending off the 3rd years episode-wise... but meh.
8/10Egao: Was cute and all, and uplifting etc etc. However, theres just not enough substance to warrant a particularly good vote
I thought the hamster thing was cute tho xP
5.5/10One Piece Movie 4 (Dead End no Bouken): Liked this one the best so far - had a really cinematic feel to it, and delivered true to the One Piece feel. Characters interacted well and mmm - was what one would expect from a One Piece-related showing. As a stand-alone thing though, it pales in comparison to the series (which i have been avidly trying to get up to date with as fast as my monthly quota lets me
)
7.5/10One Piece Movie 5 (Cursed Sacred Sword): Didn't find anything particularly brilliant about this one - was the same, but didnt hold the same interest that the other movies have. Maybe it was because i was rly tired when i started and found myself with drooping eyelids at a couple points xDD Twas still ok, but mmm not as good as the others
6.5/10One Piece Movie 6 (Omatsuri Danshaku to Himitsu no Shima): This one was ok - kept me entertained for the duration, and was kewl n all that etc etc. same as the others
7/10Hajime no Ippo - Chamion Road: When I found out there was a new HnI series airing i was like 'omfg must watch!!!' .... only to find out there's a special and ova in between! So i watched this one, and it was gooood to get my HnI fix again. Watched it intently the entire time - held true to the original imo; ippo's character was the same, and the match was carried out interestingly, although i could've picked the outcome even before i started it
<3 my ippo
9.5/10Blood+: Had this one sitting on my HDD from like right at the start of my anime watching "career", so decided it was about time to get watching.... on my ipod to and from work in the mornings/evenings
Was quite interesting
i was a bit worried after the first couple episodes, which were good, but then it slowed down for a bit... hadn't immersed myself in the world enough for it to drop pace yet. However, it picked back up, and the story moved along nicely without any real "omfg power level up tiem!!1!!" ala dbz
semi-realistic zombie-esque show (as realistic as a zombie-esque show can get of course haha)
8.5/10Seto no Hanayome: I rly quite liked this show - im always skeptical about starting comedy-related anime, and especially this one, as i had heard good things about it
i had heard the same about slayers.... <_<
but anyway, this was brilliant!!! the facial distortions, the characters themselves, "masa-san" *gleaming eyes* (and then San's reference to it later in the show too...!!!). Episode 20 was seriously one of the best episodes i've seen in a while - laughed a lot throughout the episode. Lunar's dad is awesome too xDDD but mmm - thoroughly enjoyed this ^_^
9/10Slayers Excellent: More of the same.... which is to say... it wasnt all that good =.= the best part about this ova is that it was only 3 episodes long.... although naga was a nice breath of fresh air compared to lina constantly whining at gourry or however you spell his name
4.75/10School Rumble: Ichi Gakki Hoshuu: I really enjoyed the first season, and had expected a bit much of the ova it would appear. Not enough Harima!!!! Whilst it was still decent in its own right, it held nothing on the original... especially the prehistoric bit; was rly quite disinterested in that segment. on the whole it was still enjoyable tho.
7.5/10
