Spring Season Update

Sooo not good… there are too many new shows being subbed x.x

Darker than Black - Hmm. I don’t think it was quite as exciting as I was expecting. I’ll keep watching though.

Bokurano - I haven’t read Lord of the Flies, but from what I’ve heard about this, the premises of Bokurano does seem similar in some way. 15 kids (that’s a lot of main characters o.O) supposedly get stuck in this ‘game’ and it’s like real life except there are giant robots attacking them. So, they have to work together to survive… kinda thing. Once again, I’m recognizing the voices of certain seiyuus, which really throw me off because I don’t want to see the new character as the one that the seiyuu had previously voiced. It’s so hard. Anyway, giant robots are not really my thing, plus the # of eps is currently unknown (if a series is short, I give it less thought before deciding to keep it)… this is not a keeper as of this point.

sola - the main character is a freak for pictures of the sky. He takes pictures of the sky and even hangs them up in his house o.O I like taking pictures as well and sometimes I take pictures of the sky (I still need to capture a full moon at some point…), so I definitely like this show right now :D There’s also a girl that he meets, of unknown origin. I guess we’ll see where that goes.

Lucky Star - all I can really say is o_O and LOL. The main char is voiced by Aya Hirano, but it doesn’t really bother me as much as some of the other seiyuu, since I don’t see her other characters in this new one (Suzumiya Haruhi, Amane Misa, Trapnest Reira… though Reira’s voice does annoy me a bit). I guess that means she’s good at seiyuu-ing? hahaha. Anyway, the first ep was almost all full of pointless/weird/nonsensical conversations, but it was well-delivered in a way that I was like WTF but I still wanted to keep following the conversation wondering where it would go or what would come next. Ohhh my ^^ (Yes, I’m watching this!!)

Romeo x Juliet - When I saw a sub of this released, I was like, oh geez R&J in anime form?? And then when I watched it, the OP was a cover of Josh Groban’s ‘You Raise Me Up’. I laughed because I have a friend who is a big fan of him. It definitely would’ve be more interesting if she was also a big anime fan xD But back to the show. So I don’t know what other twists they plan to put in it, but so far there are flying Pegasuseses (’Pegasi’ looks weird), and Juliet is not quite in the same class as Romeo… So now I wonder - will they make an anime for Hamlet? Or maybe Macbeth?? OHHH - MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAMMM!! LOL.

I hope I don’t pick up any more shows… damn report that I still haven’t started…
