I don’t think I can come up with any line that can make this show make more sense, in the good sense of the word.

THIS IS SO UNFAIR. How come male characters in those shows can fondle with breasts as much as they want and don’t get their balls kneed to the groin?

I went into this wanting shoujo and comedy and that’s what I received. I didn’t really go in with any expectations so some things didn’t matter to me, such as the animation. Sure it’s not perfect but the content more than made up for it. Kotoko is such a funny girl and I can tell I’m going to enjoy her character. Naoki is pretty much a douche at the moment but it’s going to be interesting to see how he matures out of that mindset. Still though, it was rather hilarious how he immediately rejected Kotoko on the spot. Dream aside, his first line in the show was “I don’t want it.”. Man that’s cold-blooded.

The music was pretty nice and I liked the OP and ED themes. They’re nothing special but still nice to listen to. I won’t be blogging this though since my shoujo fill will be coming from Vampire Knight. ^_^

Now ends our three-part 2008 spring season preview. I wouldn’t necessarily say we saved “the best for last” but there are some interesting ones in here that have caught my eye. Four of those being Itazura na Kiss, Amatsuki, Blassreiter, and Himitsu - Top Secret. My blogging choices here aren’t as plentiful as they were in the first two parts but things can change once all the first episodes are seen which has happened countless times.

Thats said, the the jump to see our thoughts for the final few shows of the 2008 spring season.

Long story short: was supposed to post this sooner but came across some… maintaining issues. Sorry, everyone. This is the second post for the spring season. You’ve probably noticed now that we’re quite interested in blogging many shows. It’s really no surprise to me that we all wanna have out eyes-on review for R2 and SOUL EATER. You’ve seen the first 11 previewed, now here’s the next 11. Hard to say what we’ll wanna blog from this. Maybe we chose the good ones early? Don’t be so shocked to see my comments waver though. Oh yes, I’m just THRILLED. Read more

The time has come again and another season is about to dawn upon us. Most of what I’m blogging is about to end (or has already ended) and I’ve already chosen a few of the upcoming shows to blog. I won’t say how many I’ll be picking up this time around but with my graduation imminent and my career picking up it won’t likely be as many as I have done in the past. If you frequent KZI then you should have an idea of what shows I’ll be watching and those I’ll be blogging. The offerings this time round, like last Spring, are a bit overwhelming but there are more than enough titles that catch my eye and so the only decisions to be made is when I’ll watch and blog what.

That all being said, my usual criteria revolves around the summary and plot, artwork, production, and seiyuu talent. Of course, that isn’t in any sort of order. Also you can expect team posts on about two or three of the titles.
