Summer Update

Are my updates so infrequent that I only get off one per season now? So sad.

COMPLETED SERIES THOUGHTS:

Agent Aika R16 8/10
Looks good and delivers the goods. Girls showing off their white cotton panties whaling on each other. I wonder if they'll make more of this?
"Successful sales of an OAV rely on one or more of the following gimmicks" rules.
1) Naked girls (CHECK!)
2) Big explosions
3) Horrible graphic deaths
4) Hot lesbian action (CHECK!)

Black Blood Brothers 7/10
Nice show, good look. Doesn't really go anywhere. A second season would be most welcome. I've been getting sick of anime based on manga that don't have a proper ending.

Black Lagoon Season 1 8/10
Really liked this but again, no ending. I bet the second season doesn't really have anything either since I hear a 3rd season has been announced.

Flag 3/10
Bah. The "gimmick" of this show being shown through a camera lens gets old fast. Surprise, surprise that the director of this crap is the same idiot behind the mess that is Gasaraki. The ending was HORRIBLE. Fuck this show. It has so little animation and what they have looks terrible most of the time. The main girl looks OK, everyone looks lie crap. WAY overhyped.

Galaxy Angel S 7/10
What was this? 1 episode? Same score as AA since it's pretty much an episode from that season. For one episode it was better than average for this franchise. I hope X is good.

Kashimashi 8/10
I really liked this one. I had a really nice, original look to the character designs. The story was pretty good as well. I haven't seen a Yuri-Fan show yet that sucked. Bravo Media-Blasters.

My-Otome 9/10
I liked My-Hime which I never reviewed here and this newer series is a great follow-up. Same characters, different universe. A little less tragic than the previous series and I missed Mai during the bulk of the series. I'm keen to see My-Otome Zwei now.

Project Blue Earth SOS 6/10
It didn't really play out well as an OVA series. Again, another OVA series without any of my "Successful sales of an OAV rely on one or more of the following gimmicks" rules.
1) Naked girls
2) Big explosions
3) Horrible graphic deaths
4) Hot lesbian action
There were big explosions but not Big explosions.

School Rumble 10/10
I loved this show. I looks fantastic. Has awesome OP and EDs I never skipped once. It also has a great mix of comedy and kind of realistic drama I really enjoyed. I hope Yakumo is in the second season lots. Fuck her sister, she's an idiot.

The Third - The Girl With the Blue Eye 5/10
When the art is good it's great. When it's bad it's some of the worst since the crappy episodes of Ranma 1/2. What the hell was going on? The story kinda never really went anywhere either. Desert Punk was a better show with pretty much the same premise.

Witchblade 9/10
So good. The idea of having the main character have a little daughter to protect really saved this show from being crap. If you also liked Witchblade so see Devil Lady. A little older but pretty much the same idea and also very good.

Zegapain 9/10
Wow, another great show. Kinda like the Matrix with more mechs and good. A little too vague ending for my liking but excellent. I prefer my End of The World anime to have a happy ending and this show delivers pretty well.
