		<description>Clannad, Ef, Minami-ke, and Kimikiss are the only good shows this season. But they&#039;re all fantastic so I&#039;m cool with that.

Also? All action anime sucks.  :)</description>

		<description>I could agree with the description of Ef characters, but the art is fantastic! I sincerely hope that this kind of design will be more usual in the future. You can enjoy a anime even if the story is conventional. I do both. And a season with Clannad and Genshiken is not so weak...</description>

		<description>Last season was wonderful and this season... not so much.  I hadn&#039;t watched Gundam 00 since I just can&#039;t get into it so it&#039;s on the back burner right now.  Mainly I&#039;m enjoying Ghost Hound and Moyashimon.  Clannad is decent, but I can&#039;t really get into the first &quot;tragic&quot; story since it&#039;s such a copypasta of things in Kanon.  I agree with the poster above that this season is good to catch up on shows now watched last season.</description>

		<description>Well actually I&#039;m comparing this season with a several pass seasons. Like the one in spring 2007, we had a lot of good shows like claymore, gurren lagann, lovely complex, and more... but now some of the shows are slowing down this season. I&#039;ll keep watching them.</description>

		<description>@tj han, Vini
The first episode didn&#039;t really catch me, and I don&#039;t know of any blogs that have covered it so I really didn&#039;t have anything there to push me into watching it.  Has it improved a lot since then?

@Reslez, Choco:
I wouldn&#039;t say this season sucks outright, it just has more shows that will take some time to develop, and not many huge and overwhelming hits.  I still think there are a few strong ones in there, that&#039;s why I am still following nine of them intently.

@FlareKnight:
Well I always enjoy it when people agree with me, banzai =)

@DKellis:
Frankly I could do without your standard faire harem shows at the moment, I&#039;ve seen plenty ;)  Clannad is looking to follow along in a similar way as Air and Kanon, both of which I loved, including the sad parts.</description>

		<description>Reading all the &quot;this season sucks&quot; posts and comments kind of reminds me of &lt;a href=&quot;http://anime.jefflawson.net/2007/10/29/give-anime-a-chance/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Jeff&#039;s post&lt;/a&gt;.

Having said that, I&#039;m wondering where I&#039;ll be getting my happy harem fix for this season. &lt;i&gt;Clannad&lt;/i&gt;&#039;s bound to be too depressing (although I&#039;ve been enjoying the comedy thus far), &lt;i&gt;Minami-ke&lt;/i&gt; annoys me with Kana&#039;s antics, &lt;i&gt;Bamboo Blade&lt;/i&gt; doesn&#039;t focus enough on the girls (the teacher grates on my nerves)... I&#039;m not saying that they&#039;re &lt;i&gt;bad&lt;/i&gt;, and in fact I like them quite a bit, but they&#039;re not Happy Harem Shows.

Currently I&#039;m making do with &lt;i&gt;Da Capo II&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;Rental Magica&lt;/i&gt;. They&#039;re certainly harem, and they seem happy enough.</description>

		<description>Have to agree with you on a lot of points. With Goshūshō-sama Ninomiya-kun, I&#039;ve just enjoyed watching the episodes. Shungo is a pretty solid character so far. Guy can fight bears and do an impressive job going against a succubus&#039;s power. Will see how that one goes. Do like Reika&#039;s character and that is enough to keep me watching.

In terms of Gundam still trying to figure out why I&#039;m still watching :). Things look good, but have trouble caring about characters. Maybe it will get going sooner or later and I&#039;ll probably keep my eyes on it for the heck of it.

In terms of the ones on the edge. Dragonaught hasn&#039;t done much to make me fight for it. As you said it at least has some action though some characters  are overly distracting and things go overboard at times. But can probably keep on following.

I&#039;d give Myself;Yourself some leeway and see where it goes. There seems to be some darker secrets in Sana&#039;s past after he left and with Nanaka. So discovering what is going on there should be enough to keep following. The Hinako episode was pretty nice so easily reasons to keep on going.

Rental Magica has spent a lot of time getting the characters introduced so hasn&#039;t really gotten the plot moving along yet. Agree that Addy&#039;s episode could&#039;ve had more development for her. But don&#039;t think things are done with her yet.

Really hope Shana can get going. Has been a show bogged down badly with this love square they have going on. Episodes where Shana is just standing around and characters are dwelling on how jealousy feels like crap. Should at least get some meaningful battles back up. Right now it&#039;s just troublesome. Do believe they will turn it around sooner or later. My hope is sooner.</description>

		<description>For some reason this season just sucked. There really weren&#039;t many action series. Ohh I can&#039;t wait for Tsubasa Chronicle Revelations coming out on November 16. 

I&#039;ll still watch them, even though they might be boring. I still have hopes for Shana no Shakugan Second, just gotta wait until the real enemy comes. I need to get back on track. I&#039;m way behind on watching this season&#039;s anime.</description>
