pacificpikachuMichiko to Hatchin looks like it could be the series of the season if it continues to be as awesome as the first episode. 8D I loved the first episode! Awesome animation, interesting characters and story already, fun use of music--it's just got everything going for it. I'm getting great vibes here!
I was going to watch a bunch of first episodes today, but after watching Michiko to Hatchin I think it'll have to wait until tomorrow because everything else isn't as attention-grabbing right off the bat.
So far the first episodes I've watched are:
- Shikabane Hime -- Not too impressed with this one so far because it seems to be reasonably standard monsters-and-action fare so far, but it's GAINAX so I'll stick with it for now and see if it shapes up later. And it could--while it didn't get off to a start that really made an impression on me, it might take some interesting twists if I stick with it.
- Toradora -- I've seen the first two episodes (and I might go watch the third now). I don't think this series is amazing or anything and I'm not really into romance anime, but so far it's quite likable and pleasant to watch, so I'm definitely sticking with it. :) I did rather like the second episode. I think Taiga runs the risk of turning into a stereotypical tsundere, but she could also turn into a fantastic character depending on what direction the series takes.
- Kuroshitsuji -- Hmmm, it was quite entertaining. Again, nothing amazing, but certainly likable enough to keep and with some fun characters. Also, Maaya as a twelve-year-old boy? Yesssss, she sounds awesome. I love how large of a range she's playing now; I remember she used to mostly just play girls with sweet-sounding voices so I'm really proud of how she's branched out. :D Also, the ending theme animation is adorable.
- Toaru Majutsu no Index -- A bit forgettable and shounenesque so far, but I'll watch a couple more episodes before I say for sure what I'm going to do with it. It's not bad, just kind of decent-could-go-either way type of stuff.
- Kannagi -- I am a bit ashamed to admit that I enjoyed the first episode of this. ;___; But--um, it was cute and has pretty animation? I don't know, I'll keep it for now because it's cute and pretty, even though I generally hate these series where the goddess type girl shows up and lives in the guy's house and blah blah blah. Whatever. XD The ending theme is pretty!
I still have to watch:
- Eve no Jikan
- Mouryou no Hako
- Casshern Sins
- Yozakura Quartet
- Ga Rei Zero
- Chaos;HEAd
Anything else you guys have seen that you urge me to check out the first episodes of? I may go back to the other entry about fall anime and see if there's anything I missed that I wanted to look into.
I'm hoping not because this is quite a few series to keep track of, but I don't want to miss out on anything good if there's something I should be checking out! As a note I've decided not to watch the Tales of Abyss anime; I'm not a huge fan of video games and anime based off of video games in general. ^^;
