Infinite Stratos: Well, it seems like a promising show from what I can tell, but I'm usually not a big harem fan, so we'll see I guess. Oh and is it just me, or does Ichika have the same voice actor as Touma from "To Aru Majutsu no Index"?

Oh alright then. Weird though, the voice seemed pretty similar.

Level E 1: I have to say, this grabbed my attention pretty quickly. Probably because of the fact this isn't your typical moe/school girl anime(like everything else). It turned out to be a pretty decent watch. I might continue it just because it's not moe blob, like Yakumo last season.[/COLOR]

The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya
My patience has finally been rewarded. I've been waiting for KyoAni to animate this before I'd read the light novel, since I prefer the medium of anime over light novels. And boy, this really didn't disappoint. Disappearance blew me away.
One thing I really enjoyed and loved about Disappearance was how it referred back to familiar points from the series up to this point. The reference to details like Mikuru's star-shaped mole, the Fall of Hyperion, Kyon helping Yuki to get her library card, and the meaning of the symbols from Bamboo Leaf Rhapsody as well as in-dialogue references to events in the story like a reference to the events of Endless Eight made the series feel new all over again, since it brought up my own memory of everything in the series. The story really blew me away with the mysteries and twists; I can really see why this is usually THE favorite from the series. The animation was amazing, I'm glad there's no more of that K-On animation; and it was even more than a return to season 1 animation. The whole movie looked gorgeous; the animation seemed to be in better quality and was more refined than season 1 animation, and the 3D look and some live action from time to time were good and welcome additions. The visuals and shots were really nice. Since I bring up visuals, I'd also like to say that they treated Kyon's monologues very well, particularly the one towards the end.
All in all, it's great. Will watch again some time.
Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica 01
![[Image: 92d709e7.jpg]](http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa143/SirPablo_The_III/92d709e7.jpg)
I'll watch this further.
The opening was somewhat of a letdown to me, but I still think it was good. I was expecting Princess Tutu-sort of dark visuals for the opening and I was let down in this aspect. Still, it's not bad. The transformation sequence was really interesting, and the shot of Madoka in the bedroom through a window with raindrops was really well done. The song was alright. Likewise, I would have liked something a little darker, but it comes close to dark around the middle of the song. I prefer the less pop-sounding parts with the heavy bass sound.
It managed to get my attention from the beginning, even though it was a somewhat boring and slow beginning for the series after that first minute and the opening. Pretty cute so far, though. It got really interesting when it got to the parking lot. Really amazing art from SHAFT. Also, Unlimited Gun Works.
Hm, I'll just have to wait and see where the story goes. I have faith that it'll turn out really good.
Also, the music by Yuki Kaijura is great; and they use the music at the right times and very well.

Oh wow. I liked this show. I didn't have high expectations for it, but gave it a shot, and was pleased with the results. Liked the ED song.

I know, but still. I haven't picked up the manga yet, but I'm really tempted to right now to spoil myself.

Kimi ni s2 ep1: Man. This just always has to happen, doesn't it? Some misunderstanding comes up, and then Kurumi has to show up and make things even worse. Can't stand her. Hoping things get patched up next episode.

Fractale - 1 - Ok, a bit light on stuff and what not, but I really really hope this lasts more than 1 season, cause it looks like it has loads of promise. Love the cyber-steam punk feel it gives off. Just hoping/wishing it will get more than a 360p release, cause it would look alot better in a higher resolution.

Just wait until blondie starts making things worse. Haven't read the manga, but it's obvious that's what they're going with at this point.

Ugh, if that's the case, dunno if I'll be able to handle it. First season made me rage a lot already. And by blondie I assume you mean that blonde guy who noticed sawako holding the chocolates?

Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica 02: Mami is an absolute boss. Still, SHAFT looks like they're cutting a lot out of the budget. The BluRays will probably be amazing though. Can't wait to see Homura, Sayaka, and Madoka's weapons.
Waiting for some fucking Infinite Stratos because Whine decided it was an awesome idea to release a sub labeled [720p] when it looks like an upscale with what sounds like <128kbps lossy mono mp3 sound.

Well, we kinda already know them from the official site images, but I don't think I'll spoil you on them if you're really waiting on their reveal.
That aside, I wonder what exactly happens when you run out of witch eggs to restore magic. Death? I'm practicing watching this without subs, but I don't recall hearing an exact explanation on what happens, so if it was explained somewhere and I missed it, let me know.

It wasn't explained anywhere.

Mami's Erupt Finale wasn't on there though, right?
Fractale 01: What the pineapple did I just watch. Where the pineapple is my Hanazawa Kana?!?

Ah, okay. You mean like their finishers and flashy magic weapons. Yeah, those we don't know, but their base weapons are known.

Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica - 2 - Hmmm, its still interesting, but im really not sure on this still :c\ Great artwork cannot sell an anime alone.
Hourou Musuko - 1 - Confusing as pineapple. I thought it might be an interesting thing to check out to possibly watch, but I dont know who is who, or who is what. Probably wont go beyond the next episode.
IS - 2 - Very satisfied with the fight, but it could have been a bit longer. Annnnnnnd harem aspects are showing.

Infinite Stratos 2:
Very enjoyable. Probably my 2nd favorite this season. I hope it'll get serious too in a few episodes if possible. But I kept thinking of Freedom vs Destiny from Gundam Seed Destiny during this episode. D:
