Summer 09 anime cover judging 3
The trilogy is complete.
Zan Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei
By now, you should know if this is for you or not. If you don’t, then you probably haven’t watched the first season, in which case, do so immediately. Otherwise, you’ve already decided whether you love or hate ZETSUBOUSHITAs, the obscure and obtuse humour, and general SHAFT antics.
Spice and Wolf II
I wasn’t a fan of the Amber Melancholy OVA, so I was really happy when this episode made me smile all the way through while watching it. I’d already read the volume that this one is covering and the episode unfolded pretty perfectly. This has vaulted back up to one of the shows I’m most anticipating. I love the OP too, with the constantly shifting backgrounds, but no more apples on the witch’s tree this time around. Oh well.
Tokyo Magnitude 8.0
The first episode was a setup for the earthquake (SPOILERS) that happens near the end of the episode. The characters are all pretty realistic. The second episode should be full of wanton destruction and it’ll be interesting to see where this series ends up. It’s also kind of funny how, even though this is set about twenty to thirty years after Eden of the East, everything about it feels a lot closer to the world of today.
GA: Geijutsuka Art Design Class
This is pretty much Hidamari Sketch and Sketchbook, but on crack and with actual art and design jokes. I liked the ones they had in the first episode and I’m crossing my fingers for some typography jokes. Also, this is one of many Horie Yui shows and also has Tomato Haruka.
