Anime Report!

Yeah, well... I got nothing else to say except more "Screw Physics" stuff, so i guess I'll just post some random info onto my blog.

Currently watching:
1. Vampire Knight (24 episodes)
- Impressive dark atmosphere
- Good soundtrack ("Futatsu no Kodou to Akai Tsumi" was nice)
- Artwork a little bit off but still pretty good
- Overall: 9/10

2. Special A (24 episodes)
- Humorous but with occasional cliches.
- Artwork is fine. The characters are still classic bishoujo and bishounen, but they seem a little too thin.
- Soundtrack average.
- Overall: 7.5/10 (episode 2 was a little disappointing, but episode 3 pulled it back up)

3. Amatsuki (13 episodes)
- Science fiction turned fantasy (well, the guy is trapped in a virtual Edo where yokais, samurais and ninjas run around)
- Regular artwork
- Average soundtrack
- Main character is a nice guy who seems to just piss people (including me) off for some reason.
- Overall: 6.5/10

4. Persona ~ Trinity Soul (24 episodes)
- Impressive artwork but the fight scenes seem a little messy
- Nice mysterious touch to the heavy atmosphere
- I'd prefer it if they had kept the Evokers from the video games, though.
- Overall: 8/10

4. Tsubasa Tokyo Revelations (3 episodes)
- Impressive twist to the storyline!
- Nice artwork, but not as good as the manga. However, the fight scenes here are a lot clearer.
- Opening and ending themes are not nice, but I still like Yuki Kajiura's background music
- The change in atmosphere and tone from light-hearted to dark was a little sudden, though.
- They forgot to bridge the gap between the Land of Memories and Tokyo (the extra storyline for the anime).
- Overall: 8.5/10

5. Rental Magica (24 episodes)
- Similar to The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi, it doesn't follow chronological order, so it's a little tiresome trying to patch the story together.
- Wide variety of traditional magic. e.g. Celtic, Solomon, Omyouji, Alchemy etc.
- Decent opening and ending theme. Above average for overall soundtrack.
- Iba Itsuki sort of reminds me of Yuri Shibuya... (wimpy kid with insanely powerful ability, which, unfortunately, he can't control well)
- Overall: 7/10
