lupin III: Green vs Red

overall: 10 (would put more but am trying to create a scale)
Sadly I understood only half of the story, but it was brilliant. I actually felt a rush and half of the time I was giggling like the little girl that I am.
No great organization or killers to go against this time, but lots and lots of Lupins running about the place. i like how the story was focused not on the gang but on the impostors.
Bags of eye candy for all Lupin-lovers, especially with a little R-33 license plate at the bottom of the river in the beginning.
now have to find a review to understand how exactly it ended, since can't make heads or tails and it's eating me alive.
Am happy, happy, love, love

Mushishi

Finished watching Mushishi and discovered that it's rather OK. I was led into it with wrong expectations, but when I got into the swing of it the the slow pace and Ginko saying "The cause is Mushi," became quite close to my little yaoi-loving heart. At least it didn't really have much of a point, which is very nice. It led from nowhere and into nowhere.
The style is alright apart from the rare comedic faces they try to put on, which just don't fit anything.
overall: 9

xxxHoLic Kei

Have seen 5 episodes, am thrilled.
The music is even better, Watanuki and Doumeki even slashier and the animation top notch!
Am happy about being in a tent

Mushishi

Watched three episodes, somehow doesn't seem to work for me. I think it was meant as a horror series, judging from the sparse dialog and the really quiet music.
The story is similar to Mononoke, but since has no distinct visual style and actual horror then it ends up being a bit boring. Oh well, will push on.

Cowboy Bebop


Watched the first episode of Cowboy Bebop.
it's everything I thought it might be. Pure Lupin, but set in the future and has even more jazz. The art style in nice, the music great. Will have to see and decide what to make of it

xxxHoLic Kei

Oh, lovely, lovely!
Second season of xxxHoLic. The opening theme is catchy and Jun still rocks my various bits of clothing. Am recognizing more and more seiyuu's :D

Zoku Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei


If Harms ever got into anime this is what he might have created. Sayonara Setsubou Sensei and it's second series, Zoku Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei, have descended from absurd heaven. The style is marvelous, the animation good, the language-based humour marvelous. I also like the fact that basically, I can take any episode and will get just as an enjoying experience because this series has no actual plot. Somehow it's refreshing.
Overall: 10
