Some quick first impressions: Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni, Renkin San-kyuu Magical Pokaan and Himawari
These series, good and bad. You have to give them credit for one thing: the ones that have OPs, have amazing OPs. In Himawari’s case, I haven’t found anything to give credit to, though…
Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni
Oh, my. I think I’ll have lot of fun watching this. Even if it was because of the extremely enjoyable and powerful cliffhanger. I can imagine why this was so popular. It’s of course certain that the girls didn’t commit the murder themselves, as we see a man commit it at the beginning of the episode, but still, they have got something to do with it. I can’t wait to find out what. This will certainly be on my list to blog. The only thing I didn’t really like was the ridiculous amount of hair each character has, but I doubt that’ll cause a problem in the future.
Renkin San-kyuu Magical Pokaan
I really have diverging opinions about this series. On one hand, it’s just stupid, but in a good way. It doesn’t make any sense, all the scenes are Haruhi-ed together and the jokes sometimes really work. On. The. Other. Hand. It’s just stupid. In a bad way. Most of the airtime just consists of useless fanservice, when the jokes don’t work, they really DO NOT work, and the characters are just plain boring.
Himawari
I think I can describe this series in one word: mediocre. That’s what it is, mediocre. It isn’t totally bad, it isn’t totally good. We just have a classis love-story involving a wannabe-ninja and a normal person with an age-difference of about ten years. Of course, this wannabe-ninja has a background, she’s special in some kind of way. This normal person becomes a teacher in a ninja-academy, at which all the ninjas are after his life. This is nothing special, and judging by the preview of the next episode, it will never be.
Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni: If you watch the pre-OP, you’ll see that the man is our man character and the ppl he’s beating up have the same hair type and color as Mion (green haired) and Rena (orange head)….lol
