-I wanted to try out this series since it was in the NOITAMINA block, succeeding Honey and Clover II. The animation was actually pretty good (better than expected), and I really enjoyed the music, but the story itself just didn’t pull me in at all (as a side note, I’ve never read the manga). I laughed when Hiroko went into her working mode because it felt really ridiculous, like she was a superhero, only not.
-Like I said though, the music is good. There were a pair of insert songs from Sambomaster, one of which was Baby Yasashii Yoru ga Ki te. I recognized the other one immediately because it was the ending theme from Densha Otoko, Sekai wa Sore wo Ai to Yobun da ze.
-Odds are pretty low that I’ll continue blogging this, or even that I’ll summarize this first episode. My time is better spent Thursdays on Kanon, CODE GEASS, and homework/projects…

    Not my type of series. Code GEASS and Kanon 2006 are definetely better and worth more to watch.

    I’m gonna try it. I know its a bit ironic, but most of the time I usualy go for most of the anime you dont. lol!

  16. yellowjello at 1:38 am on December 26th, 2006

    the plot is so repetitive and the series has virtually no meaning. Yes, I know that’s what the anime is aiming at real life, which is often boring, but at least put some action into it. I’m still watching to see if anything interesting coming up
