Whoa, I almost missed the month entirely! It’s been an extra-long time between this and the previous progress sheet, but it was a great month of anime. This was mostly due to the underrated series from spring, as I was kinda disappointed with many of the summer shows. Now we’re in that limbo period in between seasons; I’ve amassed enough of a backlog to make it through the limbo period, but it will be exciting when the fall season starts up. Almost all of my series that I am blogging will have ended, so it’ll be fun to hop on and start mocking some new series.
Top Five This Month:
- Code Geass R2: This series had an awesome end and has been the very model of consistency. The best part is that since C.C. is still traveling around, they could always do a spinoff with a non-Lelouch main character. Isn’t it funny how Anya went to Marianne’s house to learn some manners only to get hijacked by Marianne and then hijacked again by Jeremiah?
- Xam’d: Lost Memories: So far the pacing, the story, and the characters have all been excellent. I can’t help but wonder, however, what would happen if you got shot in the willy with a hiruko? Speaking of which, Furuichi is such a jerk that he makes an awesome pseudo-antagonist.
- Soul Eater: Noooooo, Nurse-mode Medusa! Oh well, the ending of the arc was fun and now it’s time to meet the Death Scythes. How come the top Weapons get to patrol huge tracts of land while the top Meisters just end up becoming professors?
- Real Drive: Although rarely very exciting, Real Drive tells some interesting stories. I’m still a bit behind, but I’ve been enjoying Minamo’s adventures.
- Macross Frontier: The final episode did just enough to keep this series in my top 5. I was hoping for more from this series, but at least we got loli-Klan Klein piloting Mikhail’s VF-25 and sniping.
