So I sorta caught some flack after saying that CLAYMORE looked like a generic shounen anime. Okay, so it’s got a girl with a huge sword as the lead character! After watching the first episode, I’m still convinced this anime will suck.

I think Hayate the Combat Butler is probably the pre-season favorite for the Spring 2007 anime season. It has lolis, butlers, and an OP by KOTOKO! What else could you want in an anime?
Originally I thought Tokyo Majin Gakuen Kenpuchou was going to be a slice of life demon high school anime from the title. It’s more of an action title than anything. It features a lot of fighting, gore, and zombies. What about plot, you say? Not so much…
When I was previewing all of the Winter 2007 anime, Venus Versus Virus stood out to me because the art looked really good, plus it was listed under the awesome genre of yuri! I finally got a chance to check out the raw version of the anime. So how does the alliterative Venus Versus Virus stand up to the other Winter 2007 anime so far?
I’ve been looking forward to watching the Nodame Cantabile anime ever since that one Gin Iro no Chord anime disappointed the band nerd inside of me. So is Nodame Cantabile the band anime I’ve been waiting for?
Hidamari Sketch is the other “omega moe” anime out this Winter season. The other one is Gakuen Utopia Manabi Straight. Both feature school kids who are way too loli to be out of kindergarten. But which one is better? Can you even compare them?
Gakuen Utopia Manabi Straight! was one of the top anime that I wanted to watch this season. These characters are soooo freakin’ cute! This anime is based on a manga that’s being serialized in Dengeki Daioh. The very same one that brought us Azumanga Daioh and Yotsuba&! (but not the same mangaka).
Kyoshiro to Towa no Sora sounds like a fairly promising anime. It features cute girls, hot guys (not my personal opinion…), an ultimate student council, fanservice, vampires, yuri, mecha, catgirls, awesome horses… Pretty much everything. Too bad I didn’t catch everything because I was watching this anime raw…
Saint October is “that one anime with the gothlolis and amnesiacs” that I thought I wouldn’t watch. Well, fast forward today and I watched it. It was the best anime I’ve seen so far this year. It was also the first anime I’ve seen so far this year…
Pumpkin Scissors brings two of my favorite things together. 1: Pumpkins. 2: Scissors. Actually, this combination is about as bad as Nuts & Gum. But how does the anime fare?
