Tbh on tora dora I thought the decisions they made although stupid were very fitting.  Maybe I'd just rather have an anime end with couples getting married and having a family rather than the couple finally being boyfriend and girl friend even though they were much more than that throughout the entire series ne ways.

Hahaha! I only wish I'd done that on purpose ._.

Also, it doesn't seem like the Top 5 in my sig is updating any more. I think V3 took away support for top 5s in signatures, which is a pity. I'd switch to one of the others, but my stats are unimpressive, and a five-strong watching list would only be scratching the surface =/.

Also just noticed that K-On!'s your number 3. I guess we all have our differences, even if that one is less reconcilable than most.

Morning.

Nice to hear from you again.

Yes. Maria-sama ga Miteru. Wow. I did not expect much from it honestly. After the first six minutes I found myself flying through episodes. It had my full attention. (It has been less than twelve hours since I saw the first one and I am already half-way through episode six. I may be finished by the time you read this.)

As for the anime itself, not as much fanservice as SP or Otome wa Boku ni Koishiteru. It really follows a Blue Drop pace. Slow, steady, plot issues take two episodes to solve as opposed to the usual one and a lot of facial expressions and built up drama, but nothing hysterical or off-putting.

The animation style is nice, even though it is not my cup of tea. (Make up your own mind on it?)

As for Simoun, I am at episode 18. To me, it pulls at heart-strings, but not like Voices of a Distant Star, but more like Gunslinger Girl. Difficult to describe. It is definitely interesting and worth a watch so far. (Even though the protagonist's looks leave a little something to be desired for.)

I should finish Simoun in the next four days, so leave me a comment once I set it to watched.

Take care.

Well, it's great that you're enjoying it. I was a little worried (still am) that I went overboard in my review. Although I do sincerely love it as a 9/10 series, a not inconsiderable amount of the love is down to the utter hypnotic cuteness of it all, which gave me goosebumps on a regular basis. It's a quality magical girl show regardless, but I think that was the element that pushed me over the edge in terms of my adoration for it.

Ohhhh Patches. Patches, Patches, Patches. I hope you're not watching Shugo Chara! just to find out why I like Nadeshiko. Cause that's around 30 episodes away >_>. It's a great anime in its own right, of course, but I wouldn't have thought it was your kind of show. Still, I hope you love it. Because it is full of love.

I'll promise not to thrust any more unnecessary recommendations your way. At least not on purpose <_<.

Take care
