Strawberry Panic might very well be the yuriest anime in existence. And I don’t even know if “yuriest” is a word! Is the yuri factor enough to make this anime the hit of the Spring 2006 season?

Being a huge fan of the original School Rumble anime, I was really looking forward to the second season. To gear up for it, I even bought the import manga (which I can barely read)! So does School Rumble Ni Gakki suffer from the sophomore jinx, or does it continue the awesomeness of the first season?
The most notable thing about Soul Link is that it’s based off of a game made by the same company that created Shuffle! Does this single fact make Soul Link worthy of having its own anime? Should we really be expecting Shuffle! in space?
I wasn’t really sure what to expect from Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu (The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya) when I started watching it. What I saw was a poorly sung OP, a terribly acted anime, and lame production values. And I enjoyed every minute of it!

KIBA – Anime First Impressions
KIBA appears to be this Spring season’s popular shounen anime. Do the magic balls and summons put this show into the kid’s category, or does the art and plot make it something more?
After enjoying Full Moon wo Sagashite, I was hoping to find another shoujo manga that might be a good read. Does MeruPuri – The Marchen Prince pass the Basugasubakuhatsu shoujo manga test?
Going through my Shojo Beat Manga Sampler, I still haven’t found a manga that speaks to me. Maybe that’s a good thing, considering I’m not a 12 year old girl… Does Full Moon wo Sagashite have what it takes to bring out the little girl in me? Read on to find out!
Shinigami no Ballad is the other 6-episode anime that replaces Hantsuki in the same time slot. It seems like a good choice to follow Hantsuki, since this anime is also about death. Morbid? Yes. Entertaining? Read on to find out!
At long last, a group by the name of “Anime-United” has decided to fansub Tactical Roar. Was the wait worth it? Or is Tactical Roar an anime best left unsubbed?
