Natsume Yuujinchou

At first, I thought this was one of those serious type animes, and so I stopped at the first 10 minutes and decided that the drawings of the unnatural beings are too childishly freaky. The idea of such things existing in the real world could give me nightmares! Anyway, upon watching it again, I found that it was actually quite fun. Especially when Madara, or Nyako-chan came into the story.

Well, I'm actually already looking forward to watching the next episodes.

Clannad

Clannad sort of has the same feel as Air. It's a lite anime. I particularly like the art, graphics, and animation. Especially the background music and sound effects. This is to be expected from the same producers as with Air.

It also has that serious, fun, mystery, and sad mix that can really move you. Laugh, cry, and enjoy the scenes. The same with Air, Clannad also has that theme of weirdness, a deep serious story behind the cuteness and funny scenes.



Weird, but adorable characters. The ache at finding that some of the characters are dreams, fading. The company of friends. I'm just babbling ideas that come to mind when I think of Clannad, but I guess it summarizes some of what this anime is about.

Itazura na Kiss

I found this anime quite okay. But it gets better in the later episodes. It's sort of a school love story, that progresses (sort of jumps) from high school, to college, to their adult life. Now I'm not so much into mushy animes, but I found some scenes quite sweet, and I can relate with some of the challenges faced by the couple Naoki and Kotoko.

So I guess I'd say Itazura na Kiss is worth watching. There are fun episodes too, there are some could-have-been-better scenes, but over all, this is not really a waste of time. Despite the few not-so-good scenes, I still find myself looking forward for the next episodes.

Shaman King

Back when this was still on TV, I found it quite an interesting idea to have the ghost of a samurai as your source of power. So it's a battle between shamans who can use the power of their comrade spirit and gain the skills of that certain spirit.

This was the type of anime where I just couldn't wait until the next episode. By today's standards though, I don't really feel too attached with this anime. Aside from the idea of controlling their spirits and gaining their skills and strengths.

All in all though, this anime is not so bad. The ending didn't turn out so bad either. It was good, in it's time, and it's still worth watching.
