Magic User's Club
Well the other day I completed Magic User's Club, both the OVA series and TV series. I can certainly say that this was a highly entertaining and addictive show to watch that I found it hard to put it down to go "Well I best finish this other show I started first". It had a nice plot, good humour and innuendos without going to over the top.
Though not for all, the dub is pretty decent too, if Sae's voice doesn't grate your ears (as I said she's kinda like a cross of Chiyo-chan and Sherry Lynn), Lisa Ortiz, Kevin Collins and Mike Pollock.
I guess it was luck that UP1 had some copy's at their stall at the Expo last weekend, and thanks to Marty who knocked 4 pound off from the retail price. It defiantly was a better choice then getting Magical Meow Meow Taruto.

Genshiken2
The second season off genshiken places Sasahara at the helm off the club. Expect lots off geeky jokes and ecchi compared to the first. I really need to go over it and watch it again, but what I could get the animation company didn't do a bad job taking over what the first one did, also you can sense how the cast get into the flow off the characters. It loses me sometimes to think this is just another anime. Just listen to Bill Timoney playing Madareme again is something else, he's like the Derek Steve Prince of New York. I think it might be worthwhile to read the manga on it as well just to see Shimoku Kio's work on it, I always read how diligent he is on creating the scenes.

Astarotte no Omocha!
Also I got through watching Astarotte no Omocha! just yesterday, and am planning to read the manga shortly. Law's mentioned about the manga being better, but I hardly see the anime being entirely bad. To me it shows off a young girl -with such a high status- finding it hard to fit in with daily life and being recognised by her mother. I do find that after ep 5, things started to go at a more even pace and exhausted most off the "drama" by then. It's plot is very simple and mundane, only set in an alternative realm.
It's been a very busy week ;-;
