[QUOTE="Laughing Manji, post: 90474, member: 700"] Passed on this. I am waiting for a group to settle down on it. Ah. On my hunt list. I think he is great too. I thought the April season was very solid - it was huge, and it introduced many great shows only by broad scattergun effect. The summer season had a filler-ish quality to it (as usual), but there were many solid shows there all the same. But I would agree with you that the autumn/winter season is really hitting it for quality and diversity. Fansubbing has been slow lately, so there is a very good chance that some of the best stuff hasn't even been widely seen yet. For instance [b]009-1[/b] [url]http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=6862[/url] is meant to be excellent, and surprisingly unfansubbed, considering how well serious action shows are loved over here. Anyways I have been keeping on top of some shows and I have prioritised finishing out stuff. I finished [b]Good Witch of the West ~ Astraea Testament[/b] - on the whole I liked this, but I have to acknowledge that it wasn't anything particularly special. The plot moves way too fast and it can't keep up. Huge amount of Deus Ex Machina too. I finished [b]Space Runaway Ideon[/b] - I can see where some of the Eva associations/inspirations come from. THough I hope the group translates the second movie too (aka TV episodes 40-43, basically the real ending). I finished the TV aired episodes of [b]Yomigaeru Sora - Rescue Wings[/b]. Waiting for the special, but it does end properly in the TV run. [i]What an excellent show[/i]. Realistic characters & motivations, a believable work environment and excellent non-sentimental, non-patronising drama. Its hard to compare this to anything, but I would say that this show is close to [b]ER[/b]. Many of the sequences are actually genuinely moving, and its not all fairytale rescues either. Watched the [b]REC 7.5[/b] special. Its always good to reacquaint with REC. Disposable, but that was a fun show. Of the new season I am keeping up to date with just two: [b]Kanon[/b] which I am really starting to like, and [b]Red Garden[/b] which is actually very interesting indeed. Very strange show, but quiet creative. [/QUOTE]
