Quick Anime Thoughts

Over the weekend I took in a number of shows that had just came out. There's some good and some soso.

  • Haibane Renmei - This is kind of an odd little show, but one I like a lot so far. I'm not quite sure how to describe it yet. The main character is a girl who is born from a cocoon and grows some grey wings. She's taken care of by a group of girls who also have wings and they give her a halo. The animation style reminds me of Witch Hunter Robin in that it uses a lot of muted colors. I'm really curious as to where this show will go.
  • Witch Hunter Robin - Robin has taken a pretty abupt turn with the latest episode. I don't want to to say too much about it right here, since I have friends who haven't seen it yet and I don't want to spoil them. I will say that I was really not expecting things to take the turn they did.
  • Saikano - The end. I felt the ending to this series was just right. It was a downer. It wasn't has harsh as I expected, but it was definitely sad. I think this may be one of my favorite shows, possibly making it into my top ten.
  • Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex - The first episode of this didn't quite grab me, but with the second I'm finding myself liking it a little bit more. It feels episodic at this point, but it's only the second episode in. I'll keep watching it a bit longer.
  • Gundam Seed - The latest in the Gundam series. I'm not sure what I thought of it. It felt like just more of the same. And I think the name is kinda lame.

Still up to watch: Kiddy Grade, GetBackers, and Spiral
