Once again, in order of completion (most recent at bottom)
Ladies vs Butlers! - Really enjoyed the series. Started it for the ecchi, but by the end I was watching it for the characters (with humorous ecchi situations thrown in as well of course
). The president was really awesome, and the various stereotypes were met (loli, clumsy maid, ojou-sama, glasses, tsundere, otaku...). However, rather than relying on those too heavily, they each had their own individual, unique charm. I'm not really sure how to put it into words, it was just a really quality show, and enjoyed watching it week by week. Gets a
9.5/10 from me
Chuu Bra!! - Watched this show as well as it seemed like an ecchi show.... but wow, wasn't expecting a pantsu-drama xD um, the story was.... unique xP iono, it wasn't a bad show, hell, I think I learnt a little haha. Just wasn't all that engaging at times, and the quality fluctuated on an episode-by-episode basis. Ended up giving it
6.5/10Kobato - Saw this title and was all "OMG NEW CLAMP ANIME" *fanboys* ... however, a couple episodes in, I found myself to be rather underwhelmed. I could tell I wasn't the target audience, with the simple, slow language.... but not being the target audience hasn't stopped me loving Card Captor Sakura xDDD Was an 'ok' anime, with things becoming more interesting towards the end. Not something I'd recommend, but .. wasnt too bad
6.5/10Ookami Kakushi - This one was meant to be similar to Higurashi, so I checked it out. The first few episodes were a little slow, but I was still interested. However, unlike Higurashi, the flow of information was too quick, and I had figured a lot of things out rather quickly. Furthermore, there wasn't as much action for a while, and the little that was present wasn't enough (or rather, was less than I had anticipated). The story was relatively interesting, but could have been revealed in a better way I thought. I did like the omake last episode though xD
6.5/10RahXephon - At first look, the series had a lot of promise, however I didn't find it developed in a very coherent manner. Explanations made weren't expanded upon, and the 'leader' of the ... shit wat was the name... Barbose? (began with a 'B') organization's situation wasn't explained well at all [although his continued existence from the organisation's creation was referenced a few times]. Didn't like the main character, nor the characters around him... Especially Quon (or Kuon... was Quon in the subs I had). I don't know... I watched unenthusiastically to the end, but was not satisfied in the slightest. Had interesting bits, but definitely not something I'd recommend to anyone.
5.5/10Kimi ni Todoke - Loved this show. Anticipated it on a weekly basis. The characters were all developed really well (well, the main ones
), and I loved Sawako's character towards the start, and her continued innocence towards the end. The art style was really well done, and the animation was decent [wasn't really paying too much attention on fluidity and the like, but I didn't notice anything that bugged me]. The ending was nice; based on the characters, I wouldn't have expected anything else, and the development/realisation of relationships was lovely. A really nice romance anime, with humour akin to my liking thrown in throughout.
9.5/10
