Random Anime Stuff
I seem to be keeping up with a lot more of the spring anime, than I have in the past. And for that matter, I was thinking this spring's selection was gonna suck. XD Looks like I was wrong!
I think my favorite series would have to be Pandora Hearts. It was boring at first, but I've become very addicted to it. And I don't really care how the animation looks, despite what some people say. You can have a good series, and not have the best animation around, you know. Besides with a good main cast, plot, and music selection by Yuki Kajiura, it more than makes up for it; IMO. My only complaint so far is that this series needs more Break and Sharon! Nonetheless, I think this one's going to be my new obsession, at least for a little while.
In second place, we have Ristorante Paradiso! It was a very close running between this and Pandora for first place, but Pandora won out, obviously. This calming series has a lot of elements that I enjoy; megane, food, character study, and a relaxing atmosphere. (I may like action, but I enjoy some stress-free anime, too.) What's really odd for me, though, is that my favorite character is tsundere-ojisan Luciano. While I know I have an intense dislike for the tsundere characters, he's one of the few that I actually like. I'd dare say that he's more like a straightman, like Tokiko Tsumura or Giroro. I also really like Gigi, as well. ^^
While I'm not as devoted, I'm also following Shangri-La and FMA 2. Shangri-La is, probably, my choice for third place. It's one of those series that everyone's ignoring or hating on, but it really isn't all that bad. I'm highly amused by how the setting is like a jungle-fied Tokyo, but the human race is still making the same stupid mistakes that we're making now. In other words; it's quite realistic, with a fantasy-like setting. My only real problem is the economic babble. As some may recall, I didn't exactly do well in economics. ^_^'
As for FMA 2, I'm only following it for the seiyuu lulz and for something to watch during G00's former timeslot. (BTW, the G00 2 dub starts at the end of the month! YAY!) While I was freaked out about my favorite science duo voicing Lust and Gluttony, I've come to highly enjoy them. I even found a cute pic of Lloyd, Cecile, Lust, and Gluttony on one of the Lloyd fanart sites I frequent. ^^ I'm not obsessed with it, but I am enjoying it.
Finally, and this is totally unrelated to the topic, I noticed that Yukiru Sugisaki finally updated her blog again. It wasn't anything too important; just her saying that she's sorry for not updating and to read Ascribe to Heaven...along with a little picture of Zero Enna from Megami Kouhosei. Now, I know she was referring to her blog when she was talking about the updates, but still, don't be so vague, woman. Some might interprit that as "Oh! Sorry that I haven't worked on Megami Kouhosei in seven years! I'll be getting back to it, soon!". >.> YEAH, I WISH!!! -sigh-
