You Dropped 6 Rabbits in My Soup [First Impressions of Some Shows]

The backgrounds are amazing

I’m positively in love with the artistic stylings of the new anime, Usagi Drop. While I initially cast off the rather strange artwork as being a byproduct of a lack of skill, I can see that’s not the case. This isn’t one of your moe-blob shows, so don’t expect anything along the lines of K-ON or Baka to Test.

Unrealistic situation, touching story

I’ll be the first to say that this sort of development is really far-fetched. What 70 year-old goes off and has a child behind his family’s back? But I digress, it’s a work of fiction and so, my suspension of belief will have to hold for now. Once you look past the odd set-up, you’ll be able to appreciate Usagi Drop for what it is, a touching tale of bonding between the black sheep of the family. (PS. No. 6 is also in this post.)

Summer Anime 2011 – What Are You Going to Be Watching

With all of the shows out there that are soon going to debut, it’s going to be tough to keep track of them all.

That’s why I’m holding this poll – this way, you, the readers, can potentially decide what’s going to be reviewed in the upcoming weeks.

Huzzah for author-reader interaction!

Sacred Seven and Ikoku Meiro no Croisee – First Impressions

I wouldn't be caught dead putting on this get-up

HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY – Wow, there’s a lot of anime coming out this Summer 2011 season and it’s a bit difficult to get everything under control. My blogging schedule in regards to this new season is tentative at the moment. I plan to do them as they come out, but between a boatload of work that needs to get done and the short periods of time between episodes, things may get a little sporadic.

Kick-ass maids? Check

Sacred Seven’s main character Alma immediately gave me a Lelouch vibe. You know, the dude from Code Geass? The horribly misguided and troubled youth who thought he could save the world? Eeeh, anyways, it had a strong first episode, and I’m not throwing the praise around lightheartedly. There are some shows that I’ve watched (like Ro Kyu Bu) that I will most likely never review this season since they were just plain horrible. So sit tight, kiddos, as this anime is killer.
