Continuing to taste-test
Are there any good live-action dramas this season? Can't say that any story or cast looks promising enough to try...
on with the anime...
Minami-ke 1! I needed more girl action, so decided to try this show. It's plain funny; not stupid funny or fanservice funny, just funny. It's about 3 sisters' day-to-day lives. Yes, sounds quite dull, but...
+ Excellent animation & bgm
+ Funny almost real-life humor
+ Cute character designs
Quick summary - The Minami sisters are made up of the eldest, quiet sister, the loud, middle sister and the smart-ass, younger sister. The first episode shows us how the middle sister torments the younger while the younger manipulates the middle and how the older keeps order. It's a cute, non-fanservice-filled, pure-hearted comedy that hopefully will keep the quality continuing. If you have a sibling or two, I think this might appeal to you. Parents seem to be a non-essential item in fictional families. Random note: Minami-ke Okawari will be an alternate retelling of this series in 2008?
Dragonaut 2! while brain-washed Kazuki gets a buff, manly dragon-person, Jin sadly lusts after Tao who turns out to be a badly-designed cgi dragon. That's enough of the human x dragon slashing for me. The characters don't hold any sort of 'new' quality for me to continue this show and yeah, those dragons are clumsily designed.
Gundam 00 2! While Code Geass's character and plot structure was initially similar to that of Gundam Seed, Gundam 00 obviously takes after Gundam Wing...but the Wufei-like character seems stuck carrying a chick around...poor guy. The Gundam Meisters take on their 2nd mission.
We learn that Japan isn't really part of those 3 gov't orgs (according to that map), so they may have created whatever power source the Gundams are using? hm. The meisters take out a 2 sides of a battle in Sri Lanka. I wonder how much the writers are grabbing from modern day conflicts. The one character's comment makes me think that the 'Celestial Being' wants the world to hate them enough to unify themselves, but it can't be that simple. Anyway, enter a main mech rival for Setsuna. His name is Graham Acre?...lovely. *dum, dum, dum* No matter how serious the writers are trying to make this, I enjoy all the dorky, geek details of this show, but have yet to form an attachment to the story or characters; though that scarred man who looks like he's supposed to be in Star Trek is still interesting...
