Hyouka ep 1

Hmm. I can see a lot of people not liking this because it's slow and hardly has a plot to speak of, but it's right up my street. I'm getting Maria-Sama Ga Miteru vibes, despite the fact that the premises are different, so I think i'm going to enjoy this a lot. It certainly looked good at times and I quite like the use of the music.

Is that any good? I've seen Sakigake Otokojuku mentioned a few times (mostly through Cromartie High School's referencing it) and I keep meaning to take a look at it, but I've never gotten around to it.

I love this series,it seems to go under the radar for some reason and i dont know why considering it was directed by Nobutaka Nishizawa and has character design by Masami Suda thats what sold me to the show when i did research on it,the best way to describe it is a mix between a high-school comedy and Fist of the North Star,its all very macho and manly,and starts of as abit of a parody then it turns is to a manly fight fest lol,so yeah i,d highly recommended it.

Before I post about this, I will sum it up by saying that I instantly went and ordered the novels and preordered the BDs once I'd watched it, so you at least have someone else along for the ride. ^^;
 
Rock Lee and his Ninja Pals 3

Did Naruto just admit that Neji has a bigger penis than him? xD

And damn, more TENTEN. That outfit she wore in the second half should be her new main outfit..

Way better than the main series. At least it acknowledges that it's a big step for boys when they stop wearing pants and start wearing boxers...
 
so far one piece is such a bad ass show its awesome

it might look wacky but its a dame good show. i could rewatch this series over and over and over and over again and not get bored its awesome naruto eat your heart out.

watching one piece collection 3 disc 2 and 3 tomorrow

......................... its awesome

Fantastic! I would adore to read the novels myself, as it seems like it could be a really well written tale. Have the novels finished in Japan?

Polar Bear Cafe eps 2-3

Enjoying this far more than I expected! It's comedic effect hits all my right notes. Although for some reason everytime I watch this I get a sudden craving to rewatch Cromartie...
 
The novels don't seem to have finished in Japan, but since they are actual mystery novels rather than LNs, they are not produced at a particularly great rate (the author has other series and one-off volumes that have come along since the Kotenbu series started with Hyouka in 2001).
 
Oh! Edo Rocket 1-7

Moon girls, murderous monsters, a young boy obsessed with fireworks, anachronisms, fourth-wall breaking, and some (but only some) utterly deranged character designs. This show is insane. So far it's been mostly comedy with some hints of drama, but I understand it goes the other way in the second half.

I'm not really sure what to make of Edo Rocket; it's fun but unfocused, and at this point I'm not seeing why the story couldn't have been told in 13 episodes instead of 26.
