Casshern Sins is pretty good and making sense now, though I'm still on the fence about whether I like it that much. I like it enough to keep watching, though not necessarily enough to go tell people they should watch it. That said, the animation is very pretty.

Okay - I'm a fan of Digimon. I think that TK is awesome, Patamon is adorable and that the newer seasons blow. Or it could be that I was younger when I watched the original seasons, and I'm just hanging on nostalgia.

But... Bio-Digivolve? ...What?!?! It's getting to be like Power Rangers. Sorry - POWER EXTREME WILD TIME DRAGON FORCE RANGERS.

I just sat down with a friend and watched a few of the English dubs. They're... they're really bad.

Seil has no taste. The Third Season of Digimon was my favorite out of all of them. Having a Cosmic Horror as a final boss whose source of power comes from screwing with the mind an emotionally broken girl? Awesome.

On another note, To Aru Majutsu no Index is ok. Episodes 3 and 4 were a bit boring, but that's mostly because it's an introduction set of episodes. Basically, it's a guy who can negate special powers with his right hand - which is great considering that pretty much every major character shown has some form of power.

Unfortunately, it also cancels out all of his luck - so he tends to have very bad days very often. It's probably why he ends up getting into so many fights, actually.

As of the latest episode, he managed to get amnesia except not really until you find out he really does have amnesia and was just pretending he didn't so that other people wouldn't be sad, and now has to act like he remembers everything for the rest of the series...probably.

I believe that's literally what it's called. Plus, they did change some things. Most noticeably, L doesn't introduce himself to Light in college. After the second Kira incident, he just calls him to some ridiculously hidden theater to watch the tapes.

I guess it could just imply that all went according to the original anime story and Ryuk only killed Light after he was fully owned and shot up, since it's not made clear when exactly Light dies, but that's even worse. We already know from day 1 that Ryuk will kill Light; showing it happen "eventually" without explaining what happens to Light's vision for the world is massively disappointing.

We knew this like, ten seasons ago. Get with the program.

Puns are fun.

Mmmmmmm, it does start integrating the cast more as things go on, but on the whole it's probably safe to say that if you didn't like it after ten episodes you probably wouldn't enjoy it too much more after that.

I think I'll give it another chance, solely for the reason that I did love the character design for Maka. However, I won't hesitate to say fuck it if I have to stand another episode of Excalibur bullshit.
