It took me forever to finish this series, and I probably would have dropped it if it wasn’t only one-cour. After a decent start, this show really went down the crapper and never pulled itself back out. The main problem with this series (aside from poor directing) is Tsutomu and since we’ll be seeing more of him in season 2, I’ll probably pass on that one completely. I’m pretty amazed I even managed to finish this season to be honest.

Other than Kannagi, I haven’t really been super-wowed this season so far. Some series started off fast, but many tailed off quickly. I dunno if it’s the weather or the holidays or what, but everything felt a bit bleh this month.
Top Five This Month:
- Kannagi: The voice work has impressed me more than any series in a long time. I just like all the characters, even if there is not really much of a story. Every character brings something each episode, and there’s even some Nagi mystery now.
- Michiko to Hatchin: I like the direction this show is going in, and it feels quite a bit like Cowboy Bebop in its pacing and stylishness. Of course, this probably means we will be in for some massive sadness in the final third.
- Gundam 00 Second Season: I’m rooting for Marie/Soma to pull a Villetta and shoot Allelujah in the kidney (before showing up as a gym teacher at a high school and then getting knocked up). The names of Ribbons’ henchmen have been getting dumber and dumber with every episode, and there is no end in sight.
- Soul Eater: I have to admit that I kinda liked watching Maka get punched in the face. I bet the next day her cheek was all Black and BREW.
- ToraDora: Taiga continues to tread water with me, but I enjoy the rest of the crew. Ryuuji is still my favorite, but I enjoy evil Ami and retarded-genki Minori.
