Top three shows this semester (since I can barely remember what happen last semester): Fruits Basket, Saiyuki, and I Me My Strawberry Eggs. Fruits Basket's content alone blows everyone else off the charts. The other animmes could not really compete. Saiyuki, one you can't take that show too seriously otherwise you won't be satisfied at all. You just have to enjoy what is happening and know that a small plot is in there. (I don't think it will get more intense until the second season. They do have a second opening and I have some files that go over 26 so I don't know if it will be continued next school year or not. I would like that though.) The show is for pure entertainment. Strawberry eggs was a show full of sugar and crack but I still loved it. That show had me going and literally punching the air to see what is going to happen next. It was cute and bittersweet with a glass of hope on the side.
Other shows: Hikaru no Go- good so far and I will watch it next semester for sure. It is intertaining, funny, and can be powerful at times. IR- shoot me now. I wanted them all to die by the third episode. The only good thing was the opening song, the breaks, and after the end song where they had a kickin' beat featuring a character in rainbow colors. SDK- the show was okay but not enough to keep my attention. It had it's moments but I just found myself leaving. I liked the opening and endings though. Xtv- WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY better than the friggin movie!!!!! Oh my god people LIVED! *GASP* That was way better than the movie...I cannot express my joy enough. I probably won't get the dvds soon but it could be a worthy choice in the future. It did drag out somewhat and people coming in during the middle of the show got confused. Still decent but not in the top 3. Gravitation- ah yes....the time where all the male hormones drop dramatically in Loomis. I liked Gravi and it was catchy. I still wanted to lay the smack down and a couple of boulders on Yuki Eiri. He was such an jackass. (Reminded me of Sanzo....scary ain't it.) I just wish they would have changed the costumes of singing more or had more episodes for that. I know an OVA is out and I might check it out but not now.
I think this is all the shows for this semester. I'm outta here cause my brain has now fried.
