THAT Animeblog

THAT blog of various wonders!

How I gathered from the feedback…

null
Just to make sure I am not making any point here.

Gathering from the feedback of various commentators, I have decided on the series that I will hold on to the very end.

First choice: Ga Rei Zero

Verdict: Until it screws itself up, which is generally likely (the skeptic speaking in me), I am staying with this pretty awesome show. A heads up for Sacchi for pointing that show out to me. I wouldn’t have watched it if people did not mention it.

Back up choice: To Aru Majutsu no Index

Verdict: This was not in my plans, but I might just as well blog it since many of you are interested in swooning over Index, you pervert lolicons (yes, generalization is the new cool in blogging etiquette). I will give Ga Rei Zero a chance to slip up in Episode 3 to see if I should blog Index instead of Ga Rei Zero.

Back up choice 2: Mouryo no Hako

Verdict: This would probably be my first choice, if only I understand the subtleties in the series. It’s so freaking confusing. It makes itself hard to blog when I technically understand 95% of all dialogue and yet understand only 20% of what is going on. It’s way too deep for a superficial me. I cannot even start trying.

Back up 3: Kuroshitsuji

Verdict: Too busy, but I think RV is committing herself to this series. Hopefully she does.

Thanks for your feedback!

    out of these shows, To Aru Majutsu no Index is the only one I care about.

    Ga-rei seems a tad too serious for my liking. But I think I’ll hang on until Shiro comes out (hopefully)Plz keep up with the good work (I’m sorry I mildly trolled it, I’ll try to refrain from now on =.=)

    The only one I haven’t seen is Mouryo. One horror one is good enough (Shikabane is freaky to watch at night)

    I suggest replacing Kuroshitsuji with Machiko to Hachin. It just came out, from the same studio that did Samurai Champloo.

    One Outs has been getting a lot of buzz lately too.

    I hope you choose To Aru Majutsu no Index. And by the way Impz, most of us love the show is not because of Index since shes nothing more than a MoeBlob, we love it because of the story & 2 characters, Toma as he such a smart ass unlike other wimpy dumb male leads like a certain mecha pilot in Gonzo latest anime and Misaka cause she one Tsundere you gotta love but you don’t wanna piss off or you gonna get Biri “Biri”!

    A bit iffy about Index - I would probably rather read a Mouryou no Hako post, even if it didn’t make any sense, instead. Everything else sounds good.

    Is anyone doing TotA? The OP was an absolutely unexpected development that basically blew away any skepticism I originally had towards the series.

    Personally I like Ga-Rei-Zero and hope you stick with it. But it seems to me that you guys are sleeping on Kurozuka. which is also awesome

    I’ll be satisfied with the Ga-rei and Index. I’m checking out the ga-rei manga so hopefully I’ll have more to grasp onto while watching the show.

    you better keep Kuroshitsuji since RC hasn’t posted anymore of it (which immediately pissed me off BIG TIME) and i’m also paying attention to mouryo no hako, although that series confuses me too xD

    So it’s my fault you’re seeing Gai Rei Zero?

    Huzzah!

    LOL Impz it looks like you (as all of us are) are up to your neck in promising choices ^_^ Just rest assured that anything you pick should be really good… Probably. Maybe. Alright, so it’s a gamble! But at least it’ll be cool to see you out of your shoujo element for a change.

  11. Maipeisu October 16th, 2008 3:22 pm

    @E: I’ve changed my mind about Tytania and plan to take Kurozuka, assuming that you’d care to know that ^_^; I’m sure I won’t do it the justice that the great IMPZ would, but I will give it my best!

  12. Blist October 16th, 2008 4:07 pm

    Glad that you can make your choices now, Impz :)
    I also made my choices for this Fall season too.. and all of them are Shoujo!! lol (except Kuroshitsuji)

    Index is entertaining and the fight scene was pretty cool. The bad things you say about the levels between the espers can be said the same about Ga Rei’s levels with Category C, B, and A (LOL @ the A’s fearsomeness). Ga Rei tries to be serious but it corny because it’s has too much anime cliche in it with the girls in school uniforms, women in form fitting clothing, samurais defeating gunmen with automatics… even the part where they estimated the category B’s power (with what force is needed to exterminate it) reminded me of the internet meme, “It’s over 9000!” The motorcycle stunts made me laugh and the scene with the bigwigs meeting was ridiculously played out.

    Someone mentioned Kurozuka which I say is very beautiful. I wish it were done in HD. Kind of reminds me of Ninja Scroll.

    Is Skip Beat being blogged? I heard it’s a pretty funny anime. If you’re doing Kannagi, I’m pretty sure Skip Beat should be enjoyed by a similar audience.
