I covered nearly everything I plan on watching in the last post, leaving out only 3 series. Those are They Are My Noble Masters, Mnemosyne, and Minami-ke: Okawari.
Noble Masters is an amusing butler series that is very much along the lines of Hayate, with a Klaus-clone and a full cast of characters who have feelings for the lead male. While it isn’t nearly as funny, it does have quite a bit more fanservice. It also has the voices of Domon Kasshu and Master Asia from G-Gundam as Ren (the male lead), and the Colonel (the head butler) respectively. It’s fun to hear these two VA’s reprise their old roles with these very similar new ones, plus the G-Gundam references that come along with it. I’ll be happy to keep up with this one.
Mnemosyne looked nice from the previews, but it doesn’t premiere until the second of February. However, waiting for this show isn’t nearly as depressing as waiting for Okawari subs. We’re approaching the release of the third episode, and not a single group has stepped up to the plate. It’s almost sinful.
Luckily with all of this new stuff getting started, another series has come to conclusion. The last episodes of Moyashimon were subbed, and I must say that I’m disappointed in the final product. The only thing I really wanted out of this series was the amusing interaction between the microbes and Sawaki, and while the Microbe Theater was a nice way to end each episode, it wasn’t really what I was hoping for. In the end, I was upset by the disproportionate amount of time spent on the human character relationships and the boring science talk. The oryzae are displeased.
In the meantime, I really enjoyed the second episode of Shigofumi, and it may very well turn out to be my favorite of the season. I also wasted a lot of time yesterday redesigning my MAL page after I saw how nice another user’s was. The finished product is: here. Sadly, Yoko perfectly frames the list only on my widescreen settings. It looks good, nonetheless.
Next up: Crusher Joe and Air. Hopefully they wont suck.
