New(ish) toons
So, the new season of COUP has started.
Kurozuka: The opening is done in the style of Noh drama. Odd. There's this samurai, and a vampire woman, and I'm not exactly sure what the plot is going to be after one episode. The samurai is being hunted (by his brother?), and there are some masked people who want to catch the vampire chick. Looks neat. I wish it were the third regular show, instead of the stupid shonen nun show.
Zoku Sayonara Zetsubousensei: If you liked the original, this is more of the same. It's got the weird humor, bizarre parodies, and puns that the first one did. I don't think I could watch too much at a go, but I like it in small doses.
GaRei Zero: So, there are demons, and some people can see them. They're fighting the demons, which are (naturally) trying to wipe out Tokyo. Tragic histories, chick with an awesome motorcycle, emo dude. Then the end of the first episode happens, and you're left going "uh, this continues? How?" I guess I'll find out next week.
Macross Frontier: I've discussed this before, and you know I love the mecha porn. I can safely say that having seen the ending makes the story so much clearer, especially starting right about now (episode 13.)
Daughter of 20 Faces: I'm so confused with this show. It started out one way, then about 9 episodes in, it veered right, and now it's veering left. I want to know where it's going, so the story is working, at least.
Toaru Majutsu no Index (aka the stupid shonen nun show): Congenitally unlucky guy finds a magical nun hanging on his balcony. He's unlucky, there's a rival girl who wants to kick his ass with her Level 5 Esper powers, and there are people who want to kill the magical nun. We're watching at least 12 episodes of this shit. I think it's got about 3 episodes' worth of interesting. (Though Ben pointed out that it's got a surly redhead, who may or may not be a bad guy. I gave him the finger. Somehow, I don't think the presence of a surly redhead who looks like the dude from Saiyuki is going to make me change my opinion of this show.) But at least it's not the fucking appalling shrine maidens show.
Next week: more of the same. How exciting.
