It took a long time, even though there are only 13 episodes, because it&#8217;s so unrelentingly intense that I often had to pause for a while between episodes, or even within an episode.  Harsh, harsh series, but very good.  Don&#8217;t watch it if you have a low tolerance for pain.<\/p>\n<p>In other anime news, I&#8217;ve sort of been watching a smorgasbord lately.  Caught the first episode of <cite>Nurse Witch Komugi-chan<\/cite>, which was fluffy and entertaining.  The last two episodes of <cite>Earth Defense Force Mao-chan<\/cite> came out, and I watched them with my little boy; a cute ending to a cute show.  And in the cute vein, I watched the first few episodes of <cite>Full Moon wo Sagashite<\/cite>; it&#8217;s well-executed, but for some reason the main character&#8217;s voice doesn&#8217;t click with me, and since the focus is on her singing career, that might be an obstacle.  I&#8217;ll give it a few more episodes to see if it&#8217;ll grow on me.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve snagged the last two eps of <cite>Stratos 4<\/cite> but haven&#8217;t gotten to them yet.  Like <cite>Kiddy Grade<\/cite>, this one started out looking like total fluff and then snuck in an intriguing plot.  (I enjoyed <cite>Kiddy Grade<\/cite> more, though, partly due to the character designs.)  The first episode of <cite>D.N.Angel<\/cite> was sufficiently entertaining to make me check it out further, and <cite>Scrapped Princess<\/cite> is off to an excellent start.  Definitely looking forward to more.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, <cite>Naruto<\/cite> and <cite>Hikaru no Go<\/cite> are still cranking along with fine episodes.  On deck: <cite>Narue no Sekai<\/cite>, <cite>E&#8217;s Otherwise<\/cite>, <cite>Last Exile<\/cite>, <cite>Ningen Kosaten<\/cite>, <cite>Mermaid Melody<\/cite>, and <cite>Texhnolyze<\/cite>.<\/p>\n<p>So much anime, so little time!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I just finished watching the third and final disc of Ima, Soko ni Iru Boku (Now and Then, Here and There).
