Apr. 10th, 2008 11:25 amI am so stocked about the current Japanese anime season. As mentioned earlier, I'm checking out Vampire Knight and loving it. I also finally got to watch Code Geass R2 which is...really weird so far. Like, I have no clue what is going on @_@ But I think that's the desired effect at this point, so let's go with it. I don't quite see the point of not picking up right where it left off though, the year gap just seems awkward. But yeah, one episode in it is hard to tell.
In better sequel news, xxxHolic Kei jumped right into the action and into one of the best story arcs of the series. It is really different watching it after reading the manga, rather than the other way around which is what happened with the first season for me. The art is still ridiculously bad at points, but the story is what matters most and that is dead on. I love xxxHolic so very much.
I'm still waiting for the sub of S.A. to come out, because it's a manga that has interested me in the past though I haven't read it.
I also have been checking out Macross Frontier, because of the hype. It is okay, so far...very high cost production so at least it will be pretty.
And I still need to finish watching Love*Com and Sailor Moon R. So much anime, so little time!
(Oh, and I have the last disc of Roswell season one that I want to finish soon as well).
Edit: And to make it even better, my favourite anime blog reviewer is covering Vampire Knight, Code Geass, and S.A.! And maybe xxxHolic too, since he followed the first season and has looked at the first episode of Kei, even if it's not listed in the current series.
