I'm actually keeping up with some series. Scratch some. A LOT OF SERIES. This isn't going to last at all. XD; I tried watching some series from summer and spring, but they haven't kept my interest. There's something about following series as they come out that makes them more appealing.

Tegami Bachi 1-3

I'm enjoying this one so far. Don't like the 3D monsters too much, but I like the main two (three?) characters and the atmosphere and the fact that this is a series about postmen. I was surprised by who the main character turned out to be though.

Kampfer 1

Boy transforms into a girl and is forced to participate in Kampfer fights, which is limited to girls. This would be interesting if he kept changing back and forth between a guy and a girl, but it looks like he's going to be stuck in girl form for the rest of the series. This is turning out to be like all the other boy turned into girl or dressed as a girl series where the boy just looks and acts entirely like a girl. Really, what's the point.

Kobato 1-3

Very peaceful anime so far about Kobato's trials in healing people's hearts and collecting candy in her jar from that. She has a mean stuffed dog called Ioryogi, who provides much of the comedy. Kiyokazu, the guy on the right, works at a kindergarten and has been mean to Kobato so far. I like the cute designs from this CLAMP series.

Miracle Train 2-3 )

Inuyasha Kanketsu hen 2-3 )

Kimi ni Todoke 2-3 )

Nyankoi! 2-3 )

Aoi Bungaku 1

This series is disturbing. Very dark. I think 6 (or was it four?) Japanese novels are going to be animated for this 12 episode series, so that's...2-3 episodes per story, I suppose. The character designs for this first one, Ningen Shikkaku, was done by Obata Takeshi. I'm looking forward to seeing Konomi Takeshi and Kubo Tite's designs for the other stories. The only novel I've read is Natsume Souseki's Kokoro. I'll be looking forward to that one.

Fairy Tail 1-2

I started reading the manga for this after Fanime when one of the people I hung out with dressed up as Gray. The manga hasn't interested me all that much yet. The start of Akaboshi Ibun Suikoden reminds me a lot of Fairy Tail, which is another series I couldn't get into. I think it has something to do with how Lucy joins an already established organization with so many characters. Hm, I guess the same thing could be said of D.Gray-man...

Oh man, out of all these, I'm probably only dropping Kampfer. Still planning on checking out other series too, though I'm not sure what else there is now. XDD

fall series!

I usually end up following only one or two series on a weekly basis each season and go back a long time later to series I missed. Spring was Eden of the East...huh, I didn't follow anything for summer season. I did just watch Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 though. Made me cry so much. ;___;

Mm, checking out new series is always fun.

Miracle Train



This anime has me snickering. People refer to it as...a cross between Hetalia (because the train stations are now human) and Ouran (lots of bishounen, I guess). It's also directed by Kasai Kenichi who's famous for series like Honey and Clover and Nodame. Just, what the heck? The first episode was actually pretty serious, though I don't think the series can get me attached to any of the characters. Roppongi on the right is voiced by KENN, haha. I would keep on watching this series if it had been about the Chou line, the line I took everyday in Japan. I wanted to see Kichijoji! But alas, this is about the Oedo line, which I don't know much about. You do get...random bits of train trivia from this.

Nyan Koi (such cute kitties!) and Inuyasha (if only they'd do this for some other series too) )
Title: Ages Upon Unnumbered Ages
Day/Theme: 22 ages upon unnumbered ages had elapsed between my two visits
Series: Inuyasha
Character/Pairing: Inuyasha, Kagome
Rating: PG
Words: ~296
Notes: for [livejournal.com profile] 31_days_exchnge. Inuyasha meets Kagome in the present. (This is me exorcising a very nasty plotbunny~)

Her scent was nostalgic. )
Photobucket has died for me (no images show up). All these new decks are being released over at [livejournal.com profile] anime_lj_tcg and yet I can't see any of them. It seems that photobucket images show up for most people but not all at the moment. =/ It feels weird because people are still trading me cards when I can't even see my own cards.

I've been catching up with a lot of manga lately (my brain is dying from reading so much manga...I caught up with over 100 chapters each of Naruto, HxH, Eyeshield 21, and Negima). And then I read that Inuyasha ended, so I had to read that too. I left off with volume 42, so I started around there even though I didn't remember what was happening. Haha, I wasn't too lost, since it was the same hacking and slashing going on with some new detachment from Naraku. -___-;; But then there was Kouga! And Sesshoumaru! And Kouhaku! That got me more interested~

end of Inuyasha...never thought I'd see this! )

I had a plotbunny invading my mind a few days ago, but this pretty much killed it.

...I still haven't brought myself to read the ending to Prince of Tennis either, since that has more sentimental value for me and I'm a bit wary of the ending.
