Baikin bones

Well, it's a bit late but it's time to post a mid-season report!



Let's start with the top shows in my watch list.

Kannagi.
The crazy shrine maiden we all love, this show that has taken 2chan heart by the balls and then came with the "used" disaster, the art has been consistent and the animation has been overall good, in the story development department it feels kind of slow, as there has been little develop for the story so far and with 4 episodes to come it seems to be aiming for a rushed ending or a second season, I wonder what happened with all the "impurity" hunting? I guess I'll have to read the manga to find out more; either way this one is really funny anime well worth watching.

ToraDora.
Despite my reclutant attitude at this Tsundere anime (and Rie Kugimiya AGAIN), it has proven to hook me well. Acording to very reliable sources, the manga art is superior to that used in the anime, and apparently this has caused lot of RAGE among fans, since I haven't checked the manga I can't really tell, but the anime direction is well achieved, the Harem factor wasn't obvious until around the 4th episode and it's really obvious that Taiga and Ryuuji are falling for eachother, typical plot of this kind of anime/manga, but the characters are really enjoyable and just can't wait to see how things will develop further on, again another one with only 4 more episodes left, but this one has been constantly developing but yet no ending is completely clear at this point, let's just hope they don't screw this one.

Casshern SINS.
I had my doubts when started watching Casshern, but it quickly became one of my favorites as we get to learn bits of Casshern's past at the same rate he is, how from being the villain he is starting to become the hero. The story is slowly progressing and also is really touching sometimes, it's quite the dramatic anime and is good at it, a change from all the comedy from the rest of my watch of this season. In a different matter, the styled characters are quite eyecandy, the robots all have a something that makes them different from eachother and the backgrounds keep being awesome, I really recomend this one.

Michiko to Hatchin.
This one has been running a bit slower than the rest as it aired lot later and then soccer games interrupted the broadcast, but still, studio manglobe once again shows a great quality piece, the rookie director, Sayo Yamamoto, seems to be heavily influenced by other anime; the animation is great and the music is just awesome. The siyuu work is a bit odd for Hatchin as she sounds too old for her age, but otherwise is just fine.

Well, after being writting this for quite a while i got bored and tired, so for now this is it, soon i'll post more stuff (hopefully :) so see ya.
