Sasa on the Autumn

A rather longish list is up on Heterochromia. Sasa is behind on most shows, but for me it's not a problem. I've just finished Toradora 03 yesterday too. I love it when people make an effort to summarize the shows briefly, even when we strongly disagree (e.g. Sasa is into yuri in general).

Michiko to Hatchin: Brazil is one of those countries I really, really want to go to one day. Ironically, it’s the movie Tropa de Elite that initiated my special interest for it. So, even if the story were horrible, I would still watch Michiko to Hatchin just for the setting.

Heh. From what I heard [*], Brazil is not far removed from Russia, and thus is not high on my list of places to visit. Also, here's a piece of advice: do not go to Manaus.

Toradora!: After the second episode, it’s settled: I really, really like the Palmtop Tiger. And oh how I am rooting for them.

Indeed, the way Toradora subverts the usual paradigm is delightful, and I am glad that I saw beyond the 1st episode bloggers who only talked about tsundere aspects of it. I am somewhat spoiled to know that Ami is going to add a whole new dimension to it as well.

Nodame Cantabile Paris: What can I say, I’m surprised that I actually like this show especially since I dropped the manga around volume 13 and never watched the first season. Puri Gorota est superbe!

So there you have it: an expert opinion of a polyglot! Take that, belly-achers of French inserts. Another thing, I am with those who consider the original season superior to the Paris sequel. But I am quite curious to know what Sasa would think of it.

Macademi WAsshoi! : Another guilty pleasure. It’s this season’s “Getsumen to Heiki Miina” for me, this show that nobody watches besides, well, me. Unlike Miina however, a bunch of people have watched the first episode and disliked it besides, well, me. XD

Umm, have you read Aroduc?

Kannagi: Considering how everybody loves this show, I will definitely give it a second chance. It sounds like it has a good premise and is a 13-episodes-show after all.

Well, about that... I'm still stuck 7 minutes into 02. Same sentiment, pretty much.

There's lot more where the above come from.

[*] A Dutch colleague of mine spent several years in Brazil, and even got married there. While in Holland and Brazil, he was a proponent of typical leftist bullshit and even ran a website with "a picture of free world": a global map with all countries except America. Imagine my surprise when they moved to America... and even settled in New Hampshire because Massachussets, where our office is, was (and is) too socialist. I guess Brazil is not really a tropical paradize.
