Finally, a break

Towa no Quon 1 (out of six ~47 minute movies)! Randomly watched this because it's from Studio Bones and featured Hiroshi Kamiya voicing Quon. Another X-men-plotted show is born. There are humans who awaken with supernatural powers. Quon and his cabbage-loving friends try to save them and teach them how to control their powers. There's a dark organization that uses humanoid robots to try to capture the awakened humans. In movie 1, Quon saves a little boy who can make bubbles of void and a young girl with a magical voice. It's an uninspired story, but the animation production is nice. And the cabbage theme park was cute.

Tiger & Bunny 23! Again, Kotetsu cracks me up. Gotta love the interaction between him and Barnaby. Maverick decides to use an android robot to attack the heroes now that they've all got their memories back.

Ao no Exorcist 21! Throwing in some more character discrepancies and odd plot directions to finish up the series. Just as well. Although the manga has gone in an interesting direction, there isn't enough to feed the anime. At least the beginning of the anime got a large audience interested (judging by the way the Blue Exorcist manga has topped NYTimes sales ranking), but it's a little too bad this has gone the way of Soul Eater and the first Hagaren series. You'd think that the anime production team would realize that more DVD sales would be had if the end of the anime was as good as the beginning. Anyway, in this episode Yukio joins some anti-demon laboratory group after an older masked man gives him some sort of sob story. Rin apparently doesn't need training anymore.
