Noein – Episode 1

Oct 23 2005 Published by Mina under Fall 2005




Why should I repeat what many other bloggers said before me…to put it into a few words:
Noein looks sugoi!!! To be honest the story actually brings not to many new things compared to existing shows, but give me some good, well superb animation and I love it! On top, even if it was nothing new it’s a rather good first episode with a nice character introduction that leaves enough questions and a cliffhanger at the end! I hope the predictions of “the best show of the season” will be true!

Paradise Kiss – Episode 1

Oct 22 2005 Published by Mina under Fall 2005


To be honest it must be one of the hardest tasks to produce an anime based on a manga series by such an ordinary mangaka like Ai Yazawa. Still I’m more than dissapointed with the amount.
The animation is strange, I was already annoyed after the first two minutes when all those stupid animals appeared and it seemed that’s never going to end. Weird angles and those stupid flower/animals crossings got totally on my nerves.
The story is that of the manga, so there’s nothing to complain about that of course…well, perhaps besides the fact I don’t think Yukari is pretty! No way!
Perhaps I will watch this show in a row…someday, when there’s nothing else I have to do, but I’m going to leave it be for now!

This show takes itself ways too serious. The soundtrack is horrible and it’s all so theatralic I don’t know wether I should laugh or cry! I prefer to laugh ^^
At the moment it will keep watching, just because I have no clue where this is heading to…and I’m curious!

Mai Otome – Episode 2

This time I tried to watch Mai otome witha different attitude and I have to admit it’s a pure fun show. Still if it weren’t for the charcaters I wouldn’t be interested and so I’m going to skip the show this season. Perhaps later…
Sorry for the bad screenshots, but the quality of the sub was…ehrm…*cough cough*

Wow, this was the best first episode I’ve seen for ages!!! While some other bloggers had problems with the animation I’m totally satisfied and the soundtrack is unbelievable. It gives the show the right horror-kick, I love it!
Harassment at school is a big problem in Japan and besides the little fantasy/horror part of the story ^^

Well, I’d say this is a kids show. A good one, one you get traumatized by…like Lassie or Alfred J. Kwak…I often talk to my friends and say “Do you remember the first episode, where his or her parents died?” I think you know what I mean.

Mai Otome – Episode 1

Oct 12 2005 Published by Mina under Fall 2005



Hmpf, I’m totally disappointed!!!
This was a rather stupid ride through a strange fantasy world and if it wasn’t for the characters it’d be just a more or less cheesy Magical Girl Show. The new protagonists got on my nerves and…just everything!
Btw “Mai Star” sounds very similar to the German “Meister” wich means master or adept. And I was pretty sure the name of the school sounds exactly the same as german word “Garderobe”…that’s a wardrobe! Can this be?

Well, hm, ehm…eeto…anou…this is stupid. Very stupid, and hectic…and funny. Still I’m not sure if I can bear the dullness and bad animation. Is this really a kids show? That bunny dies several times, you know.
Oh my god, they killed Iyo!!!

Cluster Edge – Episode 1

Cluster Edge is strange…interesting but strange. There’s nothing to say about animation, very decent. The soundtrack is a bit…heroic, just like the whole show. The story a wild mix of Last Exile, Gundam Wing, Victorian Romance Emma and several others *lol*
I just don’t know what to think of it. Names (how can they name that boy Beryl…there’s only one, and that’s Queen Beryl of Sailor Moon *rofl*) and behaviours were weird. For example that meeting of Beryl and…Agate, I guess. LSD-Trip background colours, a 360
