Kanon — First Look

July 22, 2009 at 7:25 am (Anime, First Impressions, Kanon)

This is definitely one of those series where it takes a few episodes to really get a feel for it and decide if you like it even the slightest bit.

Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha–First Look

May 1, 2009 at 2:21 pm (Anime, First Impressions, Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha)

Okay, a quickie post about the latest series I’ve started (in order to keep me from steaming too quickly through Eureka Seven as it’ll be quite a few days before I get in another disc of it.)

Fighting Spirit–First Look

December 26, 2008 at 11:48 am (Anime, Fighting Spirit, First Impressions) ()

It’s been a month, but I’m finally watching some anime again.  It’s been even longer since I rode my exercise bike to anime.  Given the dreary weather, the poor condition of my DDR pad, and a recently purchased sports anime, I figured it was time to switch back to the bike.  But enough about my bizarre anime-exercise habits, let’s move on to Fighting Spirit, a.k.a. Hajime no Ippo.

Now and Then, Here and There — First Look

August 26, 2008 at 2:29 pm (Anime, First Impressions, Now and Then, Here and There)

Well, I’d heard this was a great series.  But I also heard that it was quite dark, so while I desired to watch it with my husband, I decided to forge on ahead without him as I’m home sick today.  He, too, wants to watch it, but is in the mood for something a bit lighter, ala The Vision of Escaflowne and Death Note.  Sometimes, I’m too impatient for my own good, but who cares.  This was well worth sneaking ahead of him.

The Vision of Escaflowne — First Look

August 10, 2008 at 6:53 pm (Anime, Escaflowne, First Impressions)

Once upon a time, five or six years ago, I popped a rented DVD into my DVD player. My neighbor had his music blaring. There was a perpetual “thump thump thump” coming through the walls. I was in a bad, bad mood due to this.

One episode was watched. It was then placed back into the DVD case and returned to the rental place the next day in disgust. That was my introduction to The Vision of Escaflowne. Surprising to none, I am sure, my second attempt at watching the first episode met with much more success.
