Inuyasha

I just watched the first episode of this series. It seems to be about a girl named Kagome whose house is part of a thousand year old shrine with an ancient history that she’s not interested in. One day, the sacred well, which she knows nothing about, pulls her in, and she finds herself in the past. A demon is after her, Shikon no Tama (a.k.a. magic glass ball thing). She resembles Kikyou, a girl who imprisoned the half-demon Inuyasha, who Kagome frees.
I swear this show looks like it was actually created for Cartoon Network. It’s sort of interesting, and there’s a good chance that I’ll find myself watching more of it one day after being bored. However, it still seems to me that the creators were trying too hard to make an anime that fit some anime model. Also, I don’t know which group fansubbed this, but they’re fucking horrible. Their grasp of tenses isn’t very good, and their verb-noun agreement suck.

Sexy Commando Gaiden Sugoiyo Masaru-san

Sexy Commando is a very odd yet orgasmic series. Fujiyama, known as Fuumin to those in the Sexy Commando club, is a transfer student with the goal of making 100 friends. He meets Masaru, who is a master of the Sexy Commando martial art form. Sexy Commando is the technique in which one catches one’s opponent off guard by acting cute or fucke up. For instance, Masaru drops his pants before fighting an enemy. The other members of the club are the former captain of the karate club, the school principal, and an incredibly weak guy who wants to be buff!
This show is so fucking random. The characters do a lot of weird things, such as writing “meat” on the foreheads of defeated enemies. Sometimes the show switches to very short (couple seconds) scene that has absolutely nothing to do with what’s going on. There are also a lot of puns, which, of course, have to be explained in translation notes.
The show’s so fucked up and random. It really reminds me of myself and some of my friends. I need to get episodes 11+ >_>

Aishiteru ze Baby 9 -SPOILERS-

This show’s still great. No one gives Kippei a break though. I couldn’t stay nice like he does though. I’d end up asking people why they fucking hate me so much. I’m glad that Kokoro finally opens up to Kippei and that they kiss. It was kind of obvious from the intro that they would though. I like how Kokoro’s character was built even though it’s odd that she’d be living on her own. I can’t wait for the next episode! God this show’s so cute.

Aishiteru ze Baby

Linh-Nam mentioned liking Aishiteru ze Baby so I decided to watch some of it myself. Only nine episodes have been released that I know of, and I’ve seen the first five. It’s about a girl named Yuzuyu-chan. Her father died, causing her mother to become depressed and to abandon her. Yuzuyu-chan is left with family, and her cousin Kippei is instructed to watch her. Kippei is a high school student and a bit of a playboy, primarily concerned with flirting and dating. His life is changed when he finds himself truly caring about Yuzuyu-chan.
This series is incredibly cute. It’s a little unbelievable that they’d allow a high school student to watch Yuzuyu-chan though. He’s not just babysitting her; he’s basically parenting her. Yuzuyu-chan is incredibly cute (though she can’t compare to my cousin, of course). I’ve read that her voice-actress is nine years old. If true, that adds to the realism. I need to see more >_>
