Lineup
Ah, the joys of having transportation really washed over me this week. However, traveling around means I have less time to relax at home and watch my backlog of anime. Since somebody decided to deprive the world of useful reviews of new anime series *cough*, I decided to list my current lineup.
Series whose torrents I actively look for:
–Naruto: Still trucking along, although we’ve hit the lull before the storm. I’m hoping that the story picks up a little before the end of the 50’s. At least the episodes are coming along at a steady clip.
–Kimi Ga Nozomu Eien: This one is my pet shoujo series of the moment. Don’t be misled by the first episode! It might be generic and leave you with a warm happy fuzzy feeling, but neither of these will last! This series is so full of pain and hurt, and makes me depressed at work with that background music in my head. Of the new “h-game to anime series genre,” this is my favorite. So far I’m up to episode 4 and wanting more =).
–Full Metal Alchemist: So what if it rips off everyone? I like the art, and Al is rather humorous. The stories so far (up to episode 4) are kinda preliminary, but there seems to be potential for a very good over-arcing story.
–Gunslinger Girls: The first episode was ok, but the second was really good. Too bad with all the recap, it probably could have been fit into one episode. This one is getting subbed sloooooowly…
–R.O.D. TV: Curses! Licensed!
Series I download when I have nothing better to do:
–Mahoujin Guru Guru: I liked the manga, and I’m surprised someone is actually subbing this. It’s not that new. Kinda silly, but I like it anyway.
–Bottle Fairies: At times funny, but I don’t think it’s nearly as good as Azumanga Daioh. It is really cute though. They should be the Lilly Four or something.
–Avenger: More Hack Sign than Noir. I don’t consider that a compliment. I’m hoping it will pick up, or else I will just have to get the OST without watching it, lol.
–Yami to Boushi to Hon no Tabibito: I’m still in the first few episodes. I don’t get this series at all…
–Tenshi na Konamaiki: Mildly interesting, but I really can’t get over the poor art quality…
–Cromartie: This one is pretty funny. I don’t like the art style too much, however. I’ve heard this one is really well-liked, but I don’t feel it’s anything to go gaga over.
–PeaceMaker Kurogane: This is more of a rip-off gone bad. In spite of the lame main character (I really don’t like him), I keep watching it and I even find the bad engrish songs kinda catchy. Plus I like Okita. A lot of the rest of the series makes me cringe, though.
Series I have yet to watch:
–Da Capo: I have a bunch of these. Still waiting to get around to them.
–Scrapped Princess: I saw the first 3 and now I’m waiting to finish downloading the mega folder of them. I’m worried about the allegedly disappointing ending.
–Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu: I liked the original, and I hear the sequel is better and hilarious. I hope to get around to downloading it, but I don’t know if I can deal with anymore blue-haired girls whose hair weighs more than the rest of their body at the moment.
Thank goodness for unofficial versions of Bittorrent! Otherwise I’d be forced to enjoy the gorgeous weather we’ve been having this week, or something =).
