TSUKAI FURUSARETA 'AISHITERU MO'

Reminds me, I still need to catch up to Yakitate!! Japan. …wait, I already did long time ago. Crikey.

As predicted, I had a wonderful week-end… outside of my room, mainly. And I quite like it. :P

So yeah, delays and stuff, and yet another week breaks in this fall season… either way, here is -finally- the last batch, with Sora no Otoshimono, Letter Bee, The Sacred Blacksmith, Railgun, Winter Sonata and Yumeiro Patissiere. Late comer: Kaidan Restaurant swiftly joined the fun, too.

Enjoy!

PLEASE DON'T SAY YOU ARE LAZY DATTE HONTOU WA CRAZY

Reminds me, I still need to catch up to K-On! Later, later.

Following last week’s sudden revelation, I kind of got… busy, if you know what I mean. Never thought RL could be this entertaining. :P Meaning, my impressions got delayed quite a fair bit, and five weeks into the season, others might already expect previews on the winter season… Just bear with me. ^^;

All I can hope that like me, you haven’t gotten around to check out the Fall season yet, so you could relate to these impressions. Though, even if you ARE following any of these series, let it not hinder you to read it and tell me if it’s close to what you felt when you first watched it, and if it gets better or worse. Then again, for some series… it was quite a swift and clear verdict.

YAMI WO KIRISAKU OH DESIRE

Reminds me, I still need to catch up to Umineko. Later, later.

After finally clearing all minor and some major hindrances (I sadly couldn’t manage to clear my anime backlog yet though), here’s finally my go at this Fall ‘09 season, 3-4 weeks in already (hence “belated”).

I believe summer should be all about watermelons, big melons, small melons, and mysterious purple cocktails.

I believe summer should be all about watermelons, big melons, small melons, and mysterious purple cocktails.

Okawari! Yep, I am not sated yet. With so many potentially good series this summer, it is hard to make a decision which series to effectively watch and perhaps even blog. So here’s to confirm or veto my first good impressions on the eight series I picked. Don’t worry, I will (try to) keep it short this time.

Of course, I hope to reduce that number to a strict minimum. After all, there still are plenty of long seasoners from spring (Basquash!, Cross Game, Phantom, Saki, Tears to Tiara, Valkyria Chronicles) I am currently watching and blogging, so I will have to limit my choices here. (Even if I rarely do episodical posts now anyway, but it still is a lot to watch and muse about.)

I believe summer should be all about melting popsickles, hot girls, and a guitar + amp combo to rest your boobs on. On the beach, naturally.

I believe summer should be all about melting popsickles, hot girls, and a guitar + amp combo to rest your boobs on. On the beach, naturally.

Last night, I’ve had a nightmare. The first in years. It was about volcanoes, as always. And when I went onto the internets in the morning – clear mistake – I ended up relapsing in another “omgwhysofewcommentsomgwtfthissucksomg” craze, kind of like Kanon freaking out in Umi Monogatari. MWAHAAHAHAHAHA. In my bed. Ugh, I hate nightmares.

Last time, I picked the least interesting shows at the last part of my spring impressions series. Will it be the same this time again? Judge for yourself!

I believe summer should be all about the beach, the blue sea, and girls in bikinis with light swords.

I believe summer should be all about the beach, the deep blue sea, girls in bikinis and, of course, light swords.

Thanks everyone for all the comments to the first batch! Maybe this summer isn’t as draughty as it seemed to look like. And without further ado, here are five more series to muse about.

Note, if you don’t want to be spoilt on certain series, you can simply click on any quicklink in the post and you should only see the series you want to read about. (I wrote enough crap per series to fill the height of a 1050px screen, so you won’t see what’s above or below.)
