Poll of the semi-week: How should Hantsuki be resolved?

Hantsuki Hanbun no Tsuki ga Noboru Sora  54.jpg

First off, the results of the last poll, Anime Fillers: Yay or nay?

Yay – as long as something meaningful happens 60% ( 3 )
Yay – I watch every episode! 40% ( 2 )
Nay – fillers are junk 0% 0% ( 0 )

Wow, apparently you guys really like fillers. I guess since the people in the forum are really hardcore about anime, this wasn’t too surprising of an outcome. We still need more people over there though! Join in on the fun!

Okay, so here’s the new poll for the semi-week. If you watched
Hantsuki, or read my review, you’re quite aware that Rika could die!

Here’s a poll for you guys: What kind of ending should Hantsuki have?
Now, I dunno if Hantsuki the manga has already answered this, so
please, no spoilers!!! Please! Anyway, vote on how you think the anime
should end.

I personally think Rika should die and Yuuichi should live. I mean,
it’d be such a cop-out if she lives after the whole setup of her being
weak and soon to die, y’know? Call me evil, but this would be the best
ending. I know she’s mad at me for writing that. Just look at her

Gyagu Manga Biyori – Anime First Impressions

Gyagu Manga Biyori is an anime that actually came out February 2005. Back then, I had read about it and was hoping it would get subbed, because I dig the gag manga anime genre. Hits like "Sexy Commando Gaiden: Sugoiyo!! Masarusan" and "Boboboubo Boubobo" have a special place in my heart. Did this gag anime live up to my strict expectations? Read on to find out:

Hanbun no Tsuki ga Noboru Sora (Hantsuki) – Anime First Impressions

In my Winter 2006 anime preview, I noted that this would probably be one of the more dramatic anime of the season. Hanbun no Tsuki ga Noboru Sora (let’s call it Hantsuki for short) is a love story about two star-crossed (maybe) lovers. Ok, so it’s dramatic, but does that make it good? Read on to find out!

Hmmm, is it a little too late for Christmas anime reviews? I think not! When I saw Itsudatte My Santa listed on anidb, I thought, "awesome, another Ken Akamatsu anime!" Did Itsudatte My Santa really live up to the expectations that I attached to the Ken Akamatsu name? Read on to find out!

Kashimashi: Girl Meets Girl – Anime First Impressions

Kashimashi Girl Meets Girl 01.jpgKashimashi Girl Meets Girl 02.jpgKashimashi Girl Meets Girl 03.jpgKashimashi Girl Meets Girl 04.jpgKashimashi Girl Meets Girl 05.jpgKashimashi Girl Meets Girl 06.jpgKashimashi Girl Meets Girl 07.jpgKashimashi Girl Meets Girl 08.jpgKashimashi Girl Meets Girl 09.jpg

Kashimashi: Girl Meets Girl. The title says it all! This anime had me at "Girl Meets Girl!" Seriously though, after reading the description of this anime, I thought it would be a low quality ero-game type dissapointment. The character designs looked good, but would the plot actually work out? Read on to find out!

Magikano (Majikano?) – Anime First Impressions

Magikano (or Majikano?) seems like a pretty typical anime on the outside. It just looks like yet another magical harem where a few of the girls just happen to be the guy’s sisters. Taking a closer look though, I think Magikano has a lot of things going for it that set it apart from other anime coming out this season.

Akismet Plugin really blocks comment spam!

Wow, I just got my first comment spam! This is a milestone of sorts for my little anime blog. I actually joked about wanting to get comment spam on Anime on My Mind. Maybe the spammers listened…

Anyway, the odd thing was that the spam didn’t even make any sense! It wasn’t like, "check out my site!" or anything like that. Why don’t I just include the text (minus the links of course):

Great post! I’m looking forward for more. Rape Soldier is very good Pair, Compute Mistery is very good Opponents when Pair is Slot it will Make Grass, Player will Gnome unconditionally when Mistery Percieve Pair Lose

I mean, WTF? Rape Soldier? At first I thought that could have been some anime, but then it was apparent that akismet really picked up the comment spam. Maybe I can collect these, and when I have enough, I can write a really crazy book!

If you’re having trouble with these kind of comments, I really do urge you to install the akismet plugin. That is, if you’re on wordpress.

Kagihime Monogatari Eikyuu Alice Rinbukyoku – Anime First Impressions

Before I saw this episode, I only knew two things about Kagihime Monogatari Eikyuu Alice Rinbukyoku. For one, it has a really long name (let’s call it Kagihime from now on)! I also knew that certain characters would have bunny ears. After seeing the first episode, can I honestly recommend watching more of this anime? Read on to find out!

Poll Results: Which Winter 2006 anime are you looking forward to most?

The results are in! Well, actually I just figured that the voting was kind of getting out of control (read: only 6 people voted), so I ended the poll. Anyway, here are the surprising results to the first ever Basugasubakuhatsu official poll, Which Winter 2006 anime are you looking forward to most?:

#1 REC
REC1.jpg
That’s right, REC won! It probably had something to do with the small sample size and large bust size of the girl in the picture. 3 people voted for REC, that’s 50%!

3-way tie for #2: Fate/stay night, Kage Kara Mamoru!, and Ginyuu Mokushiroku Meine Liebe Wieder

Yup, the other three votes were split. Guess who voted for Kage Kara Mamoru? Fate/stay night at least got one vote, and Ginyuu Mokushiroku Meine Liebe Wieder got the other. The poll results were kind disappointing, but I gotta start somewhere right?

Hot off the trail of this poll comes the current poll: Fillers: Yay or Nay?

After writing about the whole Beach Episode cliche stuff, I got to thinking about filler episodes. There’s also been a bunch of talk about the annoying Naruto filler episodes coming out.

My opinion is that fillers are ok as long as something meaningful (like character development) happens. That, or swimsuits! I’m looking for a higher turnout rate for this poll, so please register for the forums and vote! This poll runs for 1 week, so vote early, and vote often*!

*oh wait, you can only vote once, huh?
