Ah, i was misinformed on that anime it seems. Oh wells.

My mood changed from this morning anyway, i'm reading Deadman Wonderland atm. It's pretty damn awesome, if not a little too gory.
Well, it seems fairly serious (Episode 2 ended with a policeman sniping two civilians), but, I'm watching it alongside my third rewatch of Geass, so...

It'd peg it as fairly serious, but not on GitS or Geass levels.

Yet. I've only seen two episodes, mind you.

Wow, CureCom is impressing me lately. Same week they release episodes 11 and 12 of Fresh! PreCure, they release 13 and 14. And in ep. 14 the Labyrinth villains get hands on with battling Pretty Cure instead of sending their monsters to do their dirty work :P

You mean Star Driver was on to something since last episode ^^;; It's half-way through the season, so I kind of expected a story to develop from before. Next episode will definitely be quite the show though.

The new Pretty Cure Abridged is awesome as well. Gangsta Nagisa and an evil minion who's a David Bowie wannabe make for some very hilarious watching.
Oh, and the Fresh Pretty Cure Abridged episode that's out is also awesome. And so is Fresh PreCure ep. 15 which I'm really surprised they were able to release so quickly...

And so ends another one of my Pretty Cure-themed watching updates :P

Ah, yes. Lol. I meant from the previous episode (forgot about it); too lazy to edit.

I haven't watched anything other than Star Driver today, but I am thinking of giving RahXephon a try. Anyone here tried it?
As i recall RahXephon is really similar to Eva, but I haven't seen it first hand, our anime club is watching in their oldies lineup, so it's gotta be good in its own right.

Just as i'm starting to lose interest in Hayate it comes along with a brilliant episode...

-snip hamfisted mockery of Gurren Lagann-

Fight the power.
That picture embodies everything I loathe and despise about Hayate the Combat Butler. It has no substance of its own, so it resorts to hamfisted mockery of series that are objectively superior to it in every way possible in order to compensate for its own massive deficiencies.

Bah, HayaCon never tried to be be good, hell, the author constantly makes fun of how stupid it is, and how it wouldn't have lasted more than a volume or two of running for being a parody manga which it is. I for one give it props for being able to keep up with, and incorporate current memes into the series. Plus the fact that Nagi's getting some really good development helps with that. It may not be original, but it's definitely still enjoyable (the manga, to the very least).

Higurashi, eh?

Hauntingly good theme song, interesting characters, and enough plot amidst all the (very clashing, if I've heard correctly) cuteness.

To be honest, the fact that an anime that is about murder, conspiracy, torture, and similar stuffs... Well, the cuteness just makes it outright disturbing. That, and it makes it look like the show has ADHD.

But I've only seen a few episodes so far. I'm hooked.

I watched most of the first season of Higurashi and some of it was pretty disturbing, you're right the cuteness of the characters was misleading. I watched it when i wasn't really an anime fan so i don't think i finished it. I'll rewatch it soon though.

Currently watching Sasuke Uchiha getting his emo butt kicked, it's pretty satisfying to be honest with you.

What really sucks about Sasuke is that he was...

Not emo early on in the show.

And by early on I mean when the show wasn't a total farce.

And by that, I mean the Zabuza Arc.

He didn't come off as a total emo, he came off as...

A prick. And not just any kind of prick. A smug prick.

COOLER STYLE.

Much better characterization, IMO.

It's funny to me how the discussion switches to Naruto and then the thread dies... then again I never liked Naruto so maybe that's why I find it so funny.

On another topic, I finished watching episode 16 of Fresh Pretty Cure where I learned that skeletons are too lightweight and too delicate to make good monsters when battling teenage girls with pretty magical powers. And also that even evil minions from alternate dimensions can enjoy Earth treats like doughnuts :)

*Apologises for bringing up Naruto, although the thread was dying a little before, I guess that little ninja could have dealt the final blow ^^

Girls with magical powers, I just finished downloading Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha. 10gb of flashy magic, fights and moe.

I probably won't watch a lot of anything tonight mind, last night I had a massive Kekkaishi marathon, that was actually really good.

Yeah, since the subbers for Fresh PreCure had that mass releasing of six episodes in one week, I think they're slowing down for a bit, so my watching will be minimal this weekend.

They also did about four episodes of Yes PreCure 5 GoGo which I can't watch because the first season of YPC5 was only subbed up to 25, and those two seasons do share continuity.

I've heard that Higurashi is a pretty cool show.

It has a lot of blood and doesn't afraid of anything.
Ooh, sounds like something that wouldn't be my cup of tea... It probably is a good show, but there's a lot of good shows out there that just don't capture my interests.

@LeSabre: I'm a major pansy. I've been waiting one year to watch this show, for that reason. However... It's not out-and-out horror, just blood splatter shots, and mindf-screw-ery. So far.

Machete Rena is awesome, though.

@Lapras: They're red sweetened bean paste sticky balls in the dub, and I don't think anyone knows what the hell those are, much less the recipe.

Oh, and Keiichi's a moron. Both for eating the food, and for squeezing something that most likely has another needle with his bare hands.
