Smooth and Flat

Got these yesterday.

Nice soundtrack indeed, but I wouldn’t go beyond ‘nice’; although there are some tracks I like, the mini album by Yousei Teikoku remains the best (for me) out of music releases related to Kurokami (counting the opening singles, and the 2nd ending theme).

Finished School Rumble’s second season. I liked it even more than the first one – maybe because the stories became a bit deeper. However, the lack of any progress makes me a sad taiga.

Kurokami, a new series produced by Sunrise, has completely astounding animation in the first episode. Especially during fight scenes; and I really hope they will keep up the good work. I’ve already mentioned the series before, however; I thought the main character would be a geek as someone told me – but from episode 1 he looks like a pretty normal person.

Minami-ke Okaeri (the third season) is produced by asread, and there’s the so-called quality in the first episode. However, they finally got rid of stupid gradients used on various characters’ hair in Okawari.

In other news, I got ga-rei: zero encoded for PSP and seems like I’ll be finishing the series quite soon – I can watch it on my way to work and back.

Some screenshots from Kurokami follow.

Not really much to wait for. However, I’ve yet to watch Natsume Yuujinchou, and the second season, Zoku Natsume Yuujinchou will air this Winter.

We’ll also get Slayers Evolution-R; I don’t expect it to be better than Revolution (which wasn’t really good, to be honest – just a bit above average), though. In other news, MariaHolic – if done right – might be pretty entertaining, and Sunrise will present their new series, Kurokami (which involves a geek as the main character yet again – and this sucks, I suppose, I don’t like this trend).

Considering the other series, we’ll see when the trailers become available.
