And I&#8217;m very amused by <cite>Gokusen<\/cite>; it has great characters and fun plots, and some of its character designs are less than attractive, which I actually find rather refreshing.<\/p>\n<p>In older shows, I&#8217;m grabbing <cite>Yawara!<\/cite> as it&#8217;s coming out, and really enjoying it.

And <cite>Cosprayers<\/cite> has the typically cute m.o.e. character designs, but the show itself isn&#8217;t too substantial.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So, what am I watching lately?
