Zero no Tsukaima 03 (princess of Rondo or whatever) sucks, and I'm ranting about it.

So here I was, hoping JC Staff would go epic with ZnT3 after ZnT2's brilliance finale, but they didn't even bother trying to fix the trainwreck that was 02. Instead of getting 02 without all the boob jokes and going back to 01's formula, JC instead tries to go 01 with boobs, and ugh, is it terrible. To make matters worse, they've switched Louise

The first season was decent, if not forgettable. The only thing that made it truly epic was the endgame was mind-boggling, but other than that, I thought it was immensely "meh". The second was much, much better, but dammit, it knew how to kill a mood like nobody's business. So I had high hopes that this would continue the trend of slowly improving, but it seems like they only focused on the boobs. BO-RING

Macross was way better than I'd expected. I only just started (I've only got two episodes OTL), but I really like it so far. I always feel like such an asshole for not having the patience to sit through Captain Harlock , which I kept hearing was awesome, but I really couldn't stand how the first episode kind of throws you into things and it feels like a "hey, you should know these guys" type thing. I just couldn't get into it because of that, and I KNOW I'll get punched in the face for saying it. I think I'll start it again eventually though.

Thanks for the ZのT stuff. I've been really bleh about starting it and now I feel I don't even have to (because I trust your opinion for some reason?)

But God yes @ Soul Eater. I tried to think of something else I gave a damn about this season but I could not.

Well, if you're blah about starting the series as a whole, I say ignore the above rant, because I really think the first two seasons stand on their own rather well. The first is somewhat boring but at the same time it's sincere in a sort of fruity way. The ending has its crazy epic moments, and I still like Saito's rather hax "IF IT'S A WEAPON I CAN USE IT" ability (which also applies to planes, lawl). The second series improves on the first massively, I think, with the most epic final showdown ever, but it proves its inability to live up to the source material by, well, cockblocking itself or something like that. I don't know, I really, really love the first two (the second especially), but I can't recommend the third to anyone at this point. I mean, I hear it gets awesome and all with Louise even punching someone (although I can't verify that one OTL), and Saito's slow digression of character, so yeah. But anyway, if you haven't picked up the first two, I think they're pretty nice. Louise > Shana anyway, IMHO

Nah, I've watched the first two seasons and thought the second was a step down, personally (many would and do disagree with me on that), so naturally I was skeptical about the third. Maybe I would have to read the original novs to "get it," but that's not something I have any plans of doing.

I actually started the Soul Eater manga not that long ago and Bones is doing a really good job with the animated portion. Also I think Excalibur has died forever, so there's another bonus. Just annoyed at all the Black*Star fans who exlaim: "It's like watching Naruto twice a week!" Anyway, I don't think it's spoilers to say that 21 will probably be the best thing ever

1. Soul Eater farkin ROCKS

2. I'm up to like ep 10 now or something. It has good moments and bad moments. It seems like every other episode is either ok, or really bad. They haven't managed to capture the original feeling of the series though... it's just kinda turned harem. And the maid is getting ridic. For sho.

First of all, MOAR SOUL EATER NOW OHMYGOD Soul Eater, will you ever disappoint me? Nevermind, I'll forgive you even if you OH GOD I CAN'T STOP STARING AT YOUR DAMN ICON FORGET COHERENCY I'M JUST GOING TO STARE AT IT

[sailorss]

Haha, my icon is from Golden boy and I love it lol.

I need to know what happened to Maka... like NOW. The new subbed ep CAN NOT come soon enough, goddamn. Oh, and can I just say that I love Kid? The whole symmetry thing is PRICELESS! I AM GARBAGE!! lol.

There are ZnT novels? Or manga? If there's manga lemme know when I can get that shit scanslated.

Otherwise, I'll just have to deal with all the booby jokes. And trust me. They get worse. And then there's an episode devoted almost entirerly to lesbian kissing. I kid you not.

(Yay Kid! XD!!! )

[melfra]

alkjdflkjfldkj Can't wait until 21 is out! I want to see Maka go berserk crushing Chrona's face into a wall IT WILL BE EPIC JUST WAIT AND SEE. Anyway, speaking of Kid, I was well and prepared to hate him, but I luff him to bits now. Although the character who's grown on me the most is Black Star, which really baffled me because I hated him SO MUCH at first. But after the Tsubaki episodes and his "I'll give you a hug!" line, I turned into a complete pile of goop for the guy. And I can't get enough of Soul in his pinstripe suit, seriously
