By popular demand ^^ ...
Hikaru no Go: Well, Kaga showed up ^^. That is cool (although I have a feeling he won't be showing up too often, if ever again). Hikaru had better tell the the go examination guy that he played all three go games at once. And I have a feeling that he isn't actually supposed to beat the examination guy, just play well (but from the preview, it looks like that is what he assumes to be the case).
Kyo: Ugh. The last few episodes of Kyo have not sucked (although they have not been too good either). But this episode (at least near the end) takes the cake for the dumbest Kyo episode yet. Why did they have to bring back the nurses?! The two dumbest character ideas in the show (and that is saying a lot for Kyo). Not only that, their "special powers" are freaking retarded! I mean, this has to be a joke, right? The author could not actually believe that these characters are "cool" in any way? Or so I am hoping...
Although I did like how Kyo almost killed Yuya when he was asleep - if only Kenshin had been as insane as Kyo ... ^^
Infinite Ryvius: Well, of course the plan to make everybody stop fighting is not working out so well ^^. I am wondering just why the Kouji is the main character? He really doesn't actually *do* anything in the series (err, proactive at least). Of course, maybe that is why he is the main character - the one that remains as an observer throughout all the troubles. But at the same time, he does have the gun that Blue gave to him, and he seems to have some weird connection to the girl in red (err, the girl who can apparently control the ship and read minds). So maybe he will do something at the end? Or maybe not ... Actually, most likely not, he will just whine until the end while everybody else does the actual work.
Fruits Basket: The first episode was pretty good. But I am confused as to the actual relationship between tiger-girl and sheep-boy. How exactly are they related again? The second episode was okay, especially the part when Yuki's fanclub was talking to the lockpicking girl, and one of the minor club members was daydreaming what *she* would do if she had lockpicking skills ^^. IIRC, wasn't she the only fanclub member *not* to be cursed by Hana's younger brother?
XTV: They did not kill anybody this episode. And the Princess apparently is evil, or something (maybe due to the enemy Dreamseer?). Ahh well, more angsty stuff, blah, blah, blah. The heart of the show died when Subaru left ...
Gravitation: I liked the sniping bit ^^. And I wonder if Yuki admitted that they had a relationship to the press just because K wanted him to do it, or if he actually wanted to help Shuichi. Who knows ... But we did (apparently) get to see Yuki's first love. Err, maybe.
Strawberry Eggs: Thank the heavens for that old lady on the bike - if she had not shown up, who knows what would have happened! Ugh. The (male) teacher needs a girlfriend fast, and the annoying student needs a boyfriend fast. The two should definitely not hook up ... Ugh again. Otherwise, the show is just as stupid as before. The girls wear outrageously stupid outfits and the guys just sort of hang around.
Saiyuki: Goku goes crazy, kills everybody (not really). I think that it would be neat if by going "crazy" he didn't become a raging psycho - instead becoming an emotionless killer. That would be a little different, at least. Did they manage to get both scrolls, or did they save only the one they had originally?
