Recommended Anime of October 20090

A side story of four girls which considers to be the best of the season (by me). The protagonist Toma of the original story only showed up in a few episodes and only for a few seconds. The fight between Toma and Misaka was still a good point to watch. Hope there will be a second season of To Aru Majutsu no Index.

Fell in love with this series after watching/listening to the first episode. Lots of my favorite CVs around, including Kaori Nazuka (名塚 佳織) who is on the top of my list (love her voice since the Anime .hack//Roots). Lots of interesting characters in the series especially the rude version of Akane. If you like CVs and like girls, you should try it out.

I thought the story would be a love triangle among the main three characters. I was wrong, at least partly when girl characters started to grow in a speed that I cannot overlook. Sometimes too many characters, especially girls may course terrible disaster to the protagonist.

Just finished watching the first season one week ago and cannot stop keeping watching the second season. The story is quite well composed and the overall performance is above average.

If I read the novel of this series, I might fall in love with it. But the character design of the Anime is not my style and the characteristic of the female protagonist is…not acceptable to me. Though I don’t like the heroine the story itself is interesting, will keep on watching.

To be frankly I haven’t finished watched the first episode but the story seems to over emphasize relationship between the protagonists which is a little bit unreasonable. And sometimes the plot really scares me and I felt disgusting from time to time. Some how the story reminds me of Ai Yori Aoshi (藍より青し) which has the similar atmosphere as this one (but much more acceptable).

This is a unique series of the season. Some fans think Drama CD is a more reasonable way to extend the original novel story among the five student union members. If you haven’t read the novel before, try not to before you finish the Anime. The recent episodes show some sad stories about each characters and this is part of the sad side of the novel. Try to have fun with the Anime series and if you decide to have a series look into the original story which claims to be 90% fun and 10% serious, try out the novel, you won’t regret.

If you watched Rave Master (レイヴ) before, you may like this series. If you like Hiro Mashima (真島ヒロ), you may find lots of similar thing between these two series. The series is currently ongoing and am not sure the altogether 18 episodes can demonstrate the story well.
