Golgo 13 is scheduled for 50 episodes…and the first episode really rocked as in the snipe shot that he took was almost impossible..
Nijuu Mensou no Musumewas pretty good-lets see how this develops-well the thief is called Phantom thief precisely because he can elude all capture by his methods..even I was surprised as to how he pulled it off but considering his forte it was acceptable..

Mentar: originality? Just having originality in anime is not enough these days, buddy.

I’d say if you’re interested about Kyouran, just go for it. I thought it was good.

Yeah, it has all the stereotypes and all, but is that something you’d seriously have to consider in comedies like this? Potemayo-caliber shows are pretty rare as I see it. I think Kyouran has more going for it than say, Kanokon or ToLoveRu in comedic convention.

I had a terrible headache due to Kyouran. Kyoka is just way too energetic for my liking, and she tends to border on the annoying rather than cute side. Barring a total collapse, I doubt that she will change. With the pace this way, I am too old for this heart attack inducing series. Heh.

Golgo 13 seems cool, but too GAR for me.

My main problem with the thief is that he rides in a zeppelin. First of all, this isn’t the fastest aircraft, and second of all, he often uses it as an illusion-trick to leap away in the sky. My question is why nobody thought it was a good idea to issue helicopters or some other flying object to catch the guy. Especially if he keeps on sending out notes of his next targets.

I thought Nijuu Mensou no Musume’s was an excellent first episode. It raised this show into my early favorites of the season, along with Kurenai, Macross, and Vampire Knight. Too bad you can’t suspend disbelief for such a great character as the Thief. To me, the whole fantasy set-up worked like a dream. I thought the voice acting was very good, particularly from Uchida Yuya as the Thief and Hirano Aya as Chiko. And I loved both the OP and the ED.

Golgo 13 looks ok i might watch it in the future if someone decides to sub it since i have not seen any decent action anime lately and i also hope that Nijuu Mensou no Musume will be better in the future since i was kinda interested in it but at least Bones got one good show this season:Soul eater

Golgo 13 is a japanese James Bond. Well, speaking of Nijuu Mensou, I was expecting something like that because iof i remember right, that thief was famous for stealing in front of all and escape without problems. So, a zeppelin don’t sounds weird.

I admit that Kyouran Kazoku Nikki has some originality in the fact that it’s about a family with a cyborg, lion and jellyfish. My main problem with it is that female lead, who just feels really uninspired to me.

If you seriously deny originality to Kyouran Kazoku Nikki, I can’t help you :) … sorry. I couldn’t disagree more.

I was hoping that Kyouran Kazoku Nikki and Nijuu Mensou no Musume would be good, because I also have high hopes for them. But after reading your entry… x_x

I’ll just have to wait for subs and find out myself.
