Rejoice Social outsiders, it's the Autumn series thread!

I also torrented Blue Literature for more wonderful! (Horrible) Takeshi Obata designs. I can't say I'll hate it, but I don't expect good things.
 
lol, I just started watching KG and all the time I'm thinking "so this is what Ryo meant by "it's like Mai-Otome" ^_^

I'm loving the silliness so far though, way too many awesome funny cuteness.
 
Actually I believe that the main plot of Kiddy Girl-and has already started, it's just being disguised by tomfoolery and yuri themse jiggery-pokery.

It's like with Kiddy Grade, a lot of the early fun tied in with future events, and it looks like they're pulling the same schmidt here, five episodes in and I believe that three of them are plot based rather than just character building.
 
Well, I assumed that the break in and revamp of the security systems in Episode 2 wasn't entirely for shits and giggles, but that's as far as I've seen so far.

Click to expand...

I'm actually assuming episodes 1, 4, and 5 are linked, but 2 could be also... :)

Ah, well I guess I might come to that same conclusion after watching a few more eps. In fact, I think I might just be being stupid and really unclear with my wording there, just running eps 1 and 2 together, as the break in I meant was the guys who were trying to kill Hiver in ep 1, and it was just the security revamp that carried over into ep 2.

Spent my last five or six days off tidying, have fallen at least 3 eps behind with everything bar Cross Game, Blacksmith and Railgun. :(

Yeah, I fell way behind on basically everything apart from the three I mentioned in the post above, but caught up with everything apart from Needless about two weeks ago.

I agree with you about Kobato. It's a nice series, but not great. I'm glad I'm caught up now, because marathoning a few eps of it was not so entertaining, but one a week is nice enough.

Aoi Bungaku has been the second best show this season after Railgun, imo. Not quite in the same league as the best-show-since-Gankutsuou (Mouryou no Hako), but yeah, very reminiscent. Very much looking forward to the last two eps. I like that they decided right from the off that they were going to be pretty liberal with their adaptations of the source materials. Ningen Shikkaku is not a fun book, and I think they were always intending to make a fun series (of a sort), but I still think they were able to capture some of the essence.

I was moderately surprised that that got four eps and Kokoro only got two, at first, but supposing they had the manner of the adaptations planned out well in advance, it makes sense when you see what they did with each of them. Sakura no Mori... was just an outstanding bit of animation, as good a two episode arc as you'll find in any series. Hashire Melos! was slightly meh, as I thought they didn't really do enough with the added-in content. Given the brevity of the original, I would have been happy enough with a one episode direct adaptation like the Akutagawa stories are getting.
