Fall 2008 Anime Watchings: Day 1
Saturday, October 4th, 2008Toradora! was pretty entertaining and funny. It looks like it’s going to be solid. People say it’s like watching Shakugan no Shana or Zero no Tsukaima all over again because of Rie Kugimiya going URUSAI URUSAI URUSAI and all, but because I haven’t seen those, I can still enjoy it.
The Lucky Star OVA is everything you can expect from Lucky Star. The OVA feels like it’s just a longer TV episode, since it’s the same bunch of small stories stuffed together format. Because of that I’d much rather they did a second season instead. Still, if you enjoyed Lucky Star, you’ll like the OVA.
I can’t remember what I read to make me interested in Linebarrels of Iron, because I thought it was pretty terrible. It’s being streamed right now on Crunchyroll by GONZO. I don’t know what it is with GONZO and CG. They love it to death, but I can’t stand it. The only time that I thought it was cool was in Last Exile. Their CG Druaga ruined Tower of Druaga for me, which was alright because it was near the end anyway.
Casshern Sins was something that I wasn’t going to pick up based on the few promotional shots I’d seen of it, but once I saw the actual screencaps from some blogs, I decided to have a look. I really love the art and animation style. Everything else, like the plot and characters, are still a little cryptic, but I’ll be sticking with it for a few more episodes.
