Wow, I’m really hitting the jackpot here. First Nyan Koi, then Needless, now Sasameki Koto. Granted, I did pick up Nyan Koi right away, so it was more of a lucky find at the start of the Fall season, but still something I wasn’t expecting to be any good at all. Anyway, initially I wrote Sasameki Koto off as being boring as shit yuri melodrama. Sorry Zyl (and many others who like the genre), but for as awesome as it sounds, yuri stories seem exceedingly boring to me or are filled with completely over the top melodrama. Or both, and then some.
I know, Sumika! But out of boredom, I decided to randomly check out Divine’s post on Sasameko Koto and found myself laughing at some of the hilarious expressions and such. In the first line of his post, he even said:
It’s a shame more people don’t check out other genres of anime and see what they have to offer as this episode of Sasameki Koto was absolute gold.
So, I figured… what the hell? I may as well try it out. I’d already read Day’s post about it, and had heard spoilers here and there (as in, I knew that Akemiya was a trap), so I was prepared for what was in store. Whether that was good or bad, I’m not sure, but after watching it I certainly see where Day was coming from, Ushio really is the worst kind of person in romance. But then I came to a realization, Ushio is to this story what most useless male harem leads are in any given random harem anime. Completely oblivious to any and all advances, instead going after a random ‘love at first sight’ fling, or even not having any explicit love interest at all.

Well, if you’ve been following my twitter, you might have realized I just burned through episodes 2-19 of Needless in the past.. 7 or so hours. When I watched the first episode back in, what was it, Summer? I was left feeling like it could be something, but felt like it lacked any real direction. Boy was I wrong as hell. I had seen a few posts here and there by C.I, but I was never motivated enough to give it another shot. But I’ve found myself with really absolutely nothing to do until at least Thursday as far as Fall anime goes. Almost all my shows are concentrated between Thursday and Sunday, leaving me with nothing really new to watch in the beginning of the week. So, instead of picking up new shows I probably wouldn’t care for anyway, I decided to go through my backlog of stuff and see what I wanted to watch. It just so happened that a friend of mine also suggested trying out Needless again and linked me to a rather hilarious clip of the fight with Uten where Eve gets covered in that Dero Doro juice.
And caught up I did! I dunno if it’s just that the novelty is wearing off or if I just prefer anime in smaller doses now that it’s all around me, but it’s been a while since I’ve actually been able to run a really long anime marathon. I think the most recent one was episodes 15-26 of Darker Than Black, which I did in about a day a few months ago, but that doesn’t even come close to comparing with my 2-19 marathon of Needless today.

It seems I caught up to White Album with impeccable timing. All the drama is finally coming to a head with this episode.
No, and I wish I didn’t know. WHY RINA-SAMA, WHY?!

Let’s start it off on a different note again, this time, Seitokai no Ichizon~
How could you refuse someone that cute? :3

Wow, today was a good day for comedy. And apparently a good day for posting, even though I’ve got a pounding headache.
Oh noez! D:

So, I’m going to rename this combo posting, because I know I’m going to eventually lose track of what the hell week it is (or post two in one week). Anyway, enough about that, on to the important stuff~
This time, I’ll start out with Railgun. Well, I knew from Index that Mikoto was pretty awesome, so I was expecting her to be pretty much carrying the show. Surprise surprise, Saten is totally stealing the show away. In a similar manner in which Yuuki stole the spotlight from Saki (who I expected to be all over, considering she was voiced by Ueda Kana <3), Saten is stealing the show away from Mikoto.

I think I kinda like this idea of grouping all my thoughts into one weekly (sorta) post. Rather than trying to come up with stuff to say about everything in its own post, I can just babble on about what I like and then move on to the next one. And then I can also drop stuff out of my posts if I get bored of a series and not just stop posting about it entirely.
Anyway, what the HELL?! I never thought in a million years that Nyankoi would be the show I would enjoy most this Fall season. This show is just really doing everything right. The comedy is spot on and well timed, it’s not too obvious, bashing you over the head with the same old joke. And the series just overall takes a very light approach to the whole story, not trying to take itself too seriously, but still managing to move the story along.
