'cause I didn't like Sekirei. I mean it's: boobies, panties, nekkid babe (and all over again) When I saw the opening I believed there must've been some terrible error, first dark and gritty and then... a happy weell-endowed girl almost dressed jumping and fighting against another girls in the same attire. "Sekirei" is "Rosario + Vampire 2": "don't care for the story, we have panties!" Maybe I’m too old to found any fun in fanservice… ‘cause I didn’t like Sekirei.

“Sekirei” is “Rosario + Vampire 2″: “don’t care for the story, we have panties!”

WHERE was all this different kind of action? I really was very disappointed with this show so far. I am willing to give it a chance, after all I gave Mnemosyne a chance!

Because i know the series easily coasts from absurd to dramatic without effort, and smoothly. But there is that slight "what's come before" problem, in that they are leaning on the old seasons (of course they are, its the same show). On Sekirei....*HISSSSSSS!* I've already said http://wtf.animeblogger.net/?p=331 all i need to on it. Well, on Slayers Rev, as an old time fan, I will be watching it.

The summer season so far hasn't produced anything good so far other than Telepathy Ran, but maybe it'll get better as the episodes progress.

It always starts out pretty cheesy and corny then builds up to something truly special later on. At least that is the hope anyway. The first three Slayers seasons were the same. The early episodes were iffy, but the comedy and action gradually gets better. Typical Slayers if you ask me.

Definitely biased as this was one of the first anime I saw and thus has a special place in my books. Just reminded you that the series was back and all is well. Nothing like robbing bandits/pirates, they usually have good stuff. Was everything one could expect from a first episode in this series. Group is back together and will no doubt run into serious trouble. I say serious trouble yet there will be laughs along the way. Poor fish girl had a few things to be scared of. #1 Lina Inverse is the enemy of all that live :). #2 She eats a lot, we're talking an entire menu 3x over. Will be enjoying this and should be a good season. In terms of Slayers, I loved the first episode. Definitely biased as this was one of the first anime I saw and thus has a special place in my books.

Here's hoping to clarify without spoilers. Minato finds he's failed to get into the college of his choice for the second time. He heads home trying to decide what to do now. On the way home a girl falls out of the sky and lands on him. Lightning hijinks ensue. After running away Musubi passes out from hunger. Minato takes her back to his place and feeds her hamburgers. She, appreciating his kindness, wishes that someone like him could be her Ashikabi. More hijinks follow. Minato 'wings' Musubi when they kiss making him actually her Ashikabi. Notes: 'Winging' occurs when a Sekirei comes into contact with the DNA of a person suitable to become an Ashikabi. This is usually done through the saliva in a kiss. It's both correct and incorrect to say that they're 'In Love'. With luck the next few episodes will make clear a bit more about what winging represents. Musubi does like Minato's kindness and gentleness, mind you. They haven't known each other for ten years. Their first encounter was when she landed on him. :) This isn't a series where there's only one male character (nor only one male Ashikabi). There are definite harem elements to it, mind you, but they make a certain sense in the context of the 'Sekirei Plan' 'game'. The 'rescued' kid wasn't Minato. And to call it a rescue is probably a misnomer. essesus has a point though the presentation could stand to be better. Here’s hoping to clarify without spoilers.

I see a typical fan-rating-first-impression post.. Come on, FIRST IMPRESSIONS! Its not like most of us have the time/patience to watch an anime several times over to indulge ourselves in that universe before analysis. A typical viewer would go through the first ep while it's on air and pass judgement as to whether to continue. If psgels is REALLY WRONG about the series, we WILL know after reading through a couple of other bloggers/reviewers/posters. However, if psgels had to go read all those impressions before the post, it wouldn't be a blog. On the otherhand, if a viewer didn't pick up the info that you did, then either the anime is ineffective in passing the info, or the viewer was delusional. Now, we have a knowledgeable-on-the-series verses popular-anime-blogger, so as of now, we're more prone to believing you knew the info. Anyways, I will be checking these out. Some of us do need the relief of fanservice once a while ^_^ (ah wait that came out wrong..) eh.. I see a typical fan-rating-first-impression post..

They're a good watch when you feel like turning your brain off and want to see some girls. I understand that you don't like them, but don't go calling people who do like them brainless otaku. I like these shows and sure as hell don't want to be labeled just because of it. I like fanservice-oriented series, and every season needs one or two IMO.
