So far this week...

I've watched more M3, Baby Steps and Daiya no A.  I'm really enjoying M3 - it's dark, well produced, and after the pretty slow first episode it's been moving along at a good pace.  Is it great anime?

Space Dandy returns! Episode 14

Wow as good as ever!  This episode contained so many anime references, I wasn't able to catch all of them, but I did get Dragon Ball, Attack on Titan, City Hunter..

Tokyo Ghoul first impressions

I've just watched the first two episodes of Tokyo Ghoul.  I will definitely keep up with this series for the summer - I am already bought into the journey that Kaneki will undertake.

Free! Eternal Summer

I watched the first two episodes of this on my commute home yesterday. Perfect after work fare - light, breezy, joyful. I much prefer the character of Rin this time round.  He has more depth now that he is no longer all about beating Haruka in the pool.  And check out that sexy dance in the ED... Maybe a new favorite?

Statement of intent!

Well, I only followed one series for Spring 2014...  And I think it was all because I was too conscious of trying to blog the anime I was watching here.  Too much pressure for myself!

Tonari no Seki-kun ep 20

My first reaction at the beginning of this episode was shock: Seki-kun is studying!  But of course he wouldn't do anything as mundane as that...

Yokoi is critical again of wasting time - so she wastes her time examining what her neighbour is doing. How does she square this with herself? She is very much aware of her fascination with Seki-kun and his pass times. Is her criticism directed at him or at herself? Or is she trying to find an excuse for herself: at least she recognises that he is wasting time in class?

As always Seki comes prepared with everything he needs, including some serious looking headphones. 

Yokoi hides her curiosity from both her friends and from Seki. How much of this could be because of growing feelings for Seki?

At the end of this episodestill don't get to hear his voice :) but we have learnt more about him.
