78 - Mahou Shoujo

With the magical girl genre, it's all about the transformation scenes and flashy magic spells and plot advancements!!!

In Nanatsuiro Drops, plot advancements are present, though there isn't much flashy magic spells and totally no transformation scenes. But being a plot-based person, as long as the plot's good, it's a good anime to me (though the art, characters has to be at the very least decent).

Edit:
Ok, transformation is present, but only in the middle of the story and only shown o.n.c.e. Before that, she was wearing an outfit her mother sent (her mother was a magical girl in the past, before marrying her father and quit being a magical girl, thus the outfit). Somewhat acceptable number of spells in the show.

On another note, Neo Angelic Abyss ~Second Age~, which ended last week was a really annoyance. Showing Angelique wielding a sword and fighting in the opening song, it makes viewers expect her to kick enemy asses, but no. After learning some swordplay from a ship captain on a ship, the only time she uses her sword is during the last episode and for only 1. attack. >.<
The attack pierces the last boss and her proceeds to purify him... Z_Z That's it, I don't want to say anymore about this...

On other stuff, today's the debut of Toradora on Central!!! Yay!!! After reading the 12 chapters on Onemanga, I'm really looking forward to the show today. ^_^ Tomorrow is Skip Beat. Looking forward to that as well, though not as much as Toradora ^_^

77 - 21k hits?!?!

Well, that's not my intention in this post (yes, I'm misleading you). This post today is about an anime series I've just finish watching. However, as some of you might feel, I don't write good reviews...

Ok, back to the topic (or not, seeing as the topic is misleading...). The anime series is 'NHK ni yokoso!', or 'Welcome to the NHK!'. I won't going into a review of it (that's not my intention). My only reason for this post is to post my feelings of this particular anime.

'NHK ni yokoso!' is a 24 episode anime. It slowly develops the characters and the story/plot. It has 2 main events, the offline meeting event and the Misaki event (which is by the way, the last event to occur). The second event is a really touching story. It makes watching this anime totally worth it. Although it is somewhat awkward half way in the last episode, it is pretty good overall. Just because of this, this anime ranks pretty high in my opinion. :)

76

Sian... During this Industrial Attachment Project(IAP), it's pretty boring... Add the fact that there's not really any good NDS game recently makes it a really big bummer. Later this week sees Star Wars: The Force Unleashed being released and later this month, Disgaea DS. I'm kinda looking forward to Disgaea DS while Star Wars's a time passer. Knights in the Nightmare, a Japan release looks interesting too. I wonder what kinda game it is. Hopefully, it's a decent game.
