Noein – Episode 4

Nov 29 2005 Published by Mina under Fall 2005




This must have been my favourite episode so far. Someone called it a filler episode, but I guess it was important to know more about Haruka and her friends. Also she starts to controll her power or at least some mysterious voice – could it be noein – helps her to learn it.
I was a bit disappointed the show is named after a mask, but I’ll see!

Noein – Episode 3

Nov 21 2005 Published by Mina under Fall 2005



I feel like I’ve used all my energy on the Elfen lied entry some days ago, no I don’t no what to write on other shows. this noein episode was like always awesome, especially the animation. Besides all the action the story developement is slow, but it doesn’t matter. That does not mean i think it doesn’t matter but i feel like it’s not boring or anything, it just has it’s on pace, in a very fascinating way!

Mushishi – Episode 2

Nov 10 2005 Published by Mina under Fall 2005


Damn, that was creepy. Here we go again with a totally tranquille atmosphere, astonishing music to emphasize it and the georgeous animation with all the green. The fact that is so quiet and pretends to be (mostly) harmless makes it even creepier for me. Others think it’s only mystic and Gibhli-esque, but that always depends on the spectator. I’m easily scared. I watched the X-Files for years because I totally love them (or was it only Fox Moulder? *cough*), but I was sometimes scared to death because I’m just that type of person.
So I don’t know what to do with Mushishi, it’s so beautiful and you know how pretty animation draws my attention on it. Perhaps one more episode to decide?

Jigoku Shoujo – Episode 2

Oh my, again ten caps…but I’m so in love with the animation style, the colors and everything…I mean, it’s all pink where Ai lives. Perhaps that’s the reason she’s got that unhappy look. Hell girls prefer black but she of all things got the pink home. All other hell girls life in green and blue and black homes, but she’s the one with the pink house…
However I got two phone calls now and don’t remember what i intended to write. *arg baka*
After two episodes the structure of the sries is clear, in about the first half of the episode we get to know the main character and his or her problemes, that person meets Enma Ai and the second half shows the revenge. Btw I thought the first on was more creative and maybe a little longer?
Do you also feel the guy really earned the revenge he got? HA! Damn, that’s the real intention of the show…hate people, start hating people around you…I will absorb all your negativ energies…WUAHAHA!
Revenge granted!

Lamune – Episode 1

Hm, what to say about Lamune. The character design looks like Izumo – that sucks. Actually Nanami’s face looks fat! And there’s no story at all, at least not really.
Still I somehow enjoyed the episode. Lamune seems to be a very quite show, the comfortable atmosphere was accompanied with beautiful music, so wether I’m going to watch it or not I will keep an eye on the soundtrack.

Another show I did not make it halfway through. i read in some other bloggers’ entries it might be good, but I’m just not interested in the story, I’m not very fond of the character design and the transitions just got on my nerves!

Cluster Edge – Episode 3

Nov 05 2005 Published by Mina under Fall 2005


So far it was really boring. It kept me only curious because I couldn’t believe a show can stay like this…now I got my big bang at the end and it was so damn stupid I’m in a state of shock.

I only made it halfway through this episode. Animation is pretty cool, but the rest more or less…well. To be honest I think the character design of that girl is creative…but it looks so stupid!!! And she makes those baby sounds!

Noein – Episode 2

Oct 27 2005 Published by Mina under Fall 2005



Noein really is sugoi. Animation or rather character designs were slightly different this time and I liked it even more. Yuu is totally fascinating…if I understood correctly our dimension is very close to that of the “birds”, there are counterparts of every person in both dimensions, so Yuu would be Karas…right?

I felt like I’ve already seen most of the new and “important” shows, so I did not count on Mushishi to be another highlight of this fall’s season. I’m deeply impressed with the beautiful colours, the fascinating use of almost no music and the mysterious, let’s say spiritual, story.
There’s only one problem for me, it’s covered in such a calm atmosphere I was strolling towards boredom, but only almost!
