〇 Maru! Rinne no Lagrange 1st Cour Complete!

Finally got around to watching all of the 1st cour of Rinne no Lagrange today! That's 12 episodes of fun, robots, and three very interesting girls!

I really didn't know what to expect, so I ended up being quite surprised by how much I enjoyed it. I really like the three main characters, although Muginami did take a while to grow on me. Lan was cute and awkward fun, while Madoka is just an all around great.

I guess I could try to do some full review if I'm up to it, but really I'm just itching to watch the next cour soon.

Until next time. 〇 Success! Woof!

Lan, Madoka, Muginami

Aquarion EVOL 1-5 : OSORE! 12000 Years After

[AQUARION EVOL]

After a long while, I finally started watching Aquarion EVOL, the sequel(?) to that oh so strange series Sousei no Aquarion. Apart from the excellent OP and great animation, the original Aquarion was not very fulfilling in terms of story. Though the random hijinks and crazy characters do make it fun.

This anime however, starts off somewhat differently and with greater success I believe. The main character is some lonesome guy and the supposed main girl is quite shy and is somewhat depressed about herself. Already opposites of the original pair of Aquarion. However some things never change, such as Fudo GEN ZEN, the little silver haired girl, and the Power of Love that drives Aquarion.

So far I like the differences. The plots seems to be constantly moving even with the random side-trip during the 5th episode. The bad guys are also quite different, in that most are humanoid unlike the original monstrous enemies. And that crazy silver and blue haired guy with the odd fixation for Apollon is there, but hasn't had much speaking roles up to this point. There's bound to be more awkward interactions to come.

And that's all for now, hopefully I can catch up on my backlog a bit now.
