AnimeTV first impressions


After checking out the first two videos of AnimeTV, I have to say that it looks like it has potential. There hasn’t been any industry authorized show like this yet, so if it were to be brought to actual television, I have a feeling it would do pretty good. I doubt it would become as immensely popular as an actual hit anime show like Naruto or Bleach, but I think it would do good among mainstream American fans.

Naruto Shippuuden eps 1 to 2 review


Well, after almost 2 years of the Naruto anime being stuck in a rut of inferior filler episodes, it’s finally getting back on track with the manga…

Code Geass Hangyaku no Lelouch first impressions


I didn’t think I’d be able to cram this series into the very limited amount of free time I have between work, school, and keeping up with the other anime I’m watching. But everyone says it’s good so I decided to check it out(and I now officially have no more room for any new series’ until I finish one I’m currently watching, LOL.) Luckily only 11 fansubbed episodes have been released so far, so I’m not too far behind(I just finished watching episode 6.) To tell the truth, I’m not that thrilled with the series so far. But it has been getting progressively better since the first couple of episodes, so I’m willing to give it a chance…

Mushishi eps 1 to 4 review

Mushishi has been on my computer in my “anime-to-watch” folder for a while before I finally sat down and marathoned the first 4 episodes last night. I’ve heard a lot of good things about the series, and after watching these few episodes, I think it definitely deserves the praise it gets…

Asatte no Houkou eps 1 to 3 Review


Asatte no Houkou is one of the other new series’ I started watching recently. I picked this one just because it sounded “different.” And it is, but in a good way…

Sumomomo Momomo eps 1 to 4 Review


As of today, the only new fall 2006 series’ I’ve been watching are Death Note, Kanon, and Pokemon Diamond & Pearl. Though I would like to, I don’t have time to watch every new anime that comes out. So I read about each one, pick a few that sound the most interesting, and watch those. Usually they all sound good to me, LOL, so it’s hard to pick just a few to dedicate my time to XD But Sumomomo Momomo was one that sounded like it might be a lot of fun, so I sat down today and marathoned the 4 episodes of it that have been released so far…

Kanon eps 1 & 2 Review


 
I’ve actually never watched the original Kanon series from 2002. But a while back I felt like reading up on what the new fall 2006 anime series’ were going to be about, and after I read about Kanon, it sounded like a very interesting story. Plus I really enjoyed Air, and since it’s by the same company, I figured Kanon should be worth checking out.

Death Note eps 1 & 2 Review



I was originally planning to write a review of just the first episode of Death Note. But it took a while before I finally had the time to watch it, and by then the second episode was already out, so I figured why not write a review on both instead =P Anyway, just so you know, this review is written by someone who has never read the Death Note manga. I’m not as big a fan of the style of manga as I am of anime, so I decided to wait until the series was made into an anime. Before I watched the episodes, I only had a vague idea of what the series is about and that’s it, so my mood is that of a very satisfied new fan ^^ The series sounded interesting and I heard good things about the anime, so I decided to give it a try…
