Just to post an update of where things are currently:
- Inu-Yasha - I just finished episode 43. This show just keeps dragging me along helplessly. I personally think the writing on it is great. Every time you think you know where it might be headed there's a little twist thrown in. Currently I feel like they are continuously upping the tension every few episodes. I also watched the Inu-Yasha movie the other day. Very good I thought. It felt like a much longer episode, but told a very cool story.
- Hikaru no Go - Another one that I am still liking. I just got up to episode 40 the other day. The last few episodes have been a little slow, but have given a little more insight into the whole world of Go. There was one scene in particular where people were talking about their lives outside of Go as they were waiting to be tested. I'm assuming the show is fairly accurate as to the Go scene over there, and if so I don't think there's anything quite like it over here.
- Saikano - Anxiously awaiting episode 8. Though I love this show, it is so hard for me to watch sometimes. There's a level of sadness that makes it a little hard to start up each new episode. A friend of mine told me she heard the next episode is particularly harsh.
- Ai Yori Aoshi - I haven't been as thrilled about the last two episodes. Though the show is basicly a harem show, I find myself getting annoyed with them not focusing enough on Kaoru and Aoi's relationship. Instead they seem to be setting up all the other women to love him. While I like this show a lot, there's a level of unevenness in it. Though when it is good it can be REALLY good.
That's it for now. I'm sure I'll have more to add in the next few days.
