Anime Marathons..... and Summer Season~

Fark.....
Anime Marathon-ing while watching current season stuff is mentally draining -_-
Since the holidays i've caught up on some completed anime, Utawarerumono, Yakikate Japan, Code Geass Lelouch of the Rebellion, a rewatch of moyashimon.
In marathon-ing these you don't really have much time to think about the story or its development or pass judgement as you would when you follow the current season ones like Kurozuka, Kuroshitsuji, Toaru Majutsu no Index, Clannad ~After Story~, Nodame Cantabile Paris Arc, Tytania, ToraDora, Ga Rei Zero, Tales of the Abyss, and Chaos; Head in my case.

Utawarerumono
Well, this was a surprise. I had originally wanted to see this because of the characters? can't recall, anyways it was an enjoyable ride. From first glance the world appears to be a fantasy type world with cat? fox? people. furries. and our masked hero. And later, through various wars and battles, we discover the truth of that world. Like most stories i guess, with each war there is always some hidden secret behind it, even if our main character was unaware of it. The Op and Ed was good, i find it slightly annoying that such a nice catchy song was for an anime that had more than half of war and battles. At least this didn't piss me off as much as Stellvia of the Universe. What a nice song, and when i watched that OP, i was gobsmacked -_-.... and hoping for better thigns didn't help -_-
Utawarerumono, desipte being an anime of wars between countries and races that unviel the truth of the world, is nicely done. Though i do wish for more peaceful screentime with all the characters. Almost loved them all ^_^

Yakikate Japan
I finally finished this after 3 years xD i first watched this in HS and had stopped at the beginning of the Monaco World Cup where our heroes got to France. The comedy and bread theories were still the same, hwoever if i went and sat through all 69 eps, i'd be TOO mentally drained, since i started with the monaco cup to the end and that was draining enough @_@

Code Geass
One of the most popular from recent anime series, and then many people said the second season was screwed up and was only saved when they rushed the ending.
Now who likes tactics? Strategy? I do. Thus i enjoyed this anime. Though Death Note should reign more, but the death of the orignal L still annoys me xD Lelouch on this hand i can relate to so *shrug*
What can i say after watching all 2 season in one go? Lelouch isn't that bad, and has some fairly interesting if you had time to discuss the morals, and views and perspectives it holds and you can relate to to draw out your own ideals and theories. That and nice mecha fights ^_^
Still... i do wonder what will happen to CC in the end *sigh*

Now for the latest season i've been following,

kurozuka.
this is interesting, started off in ancient japan (excuse my poor statement but i'm too tired.. my mind hasn't recovered from marathoning anime yet) then we get zoomed to the 'present' which is the future where tokyo has been destroyed. Yet the bond that was made in the past between the two (kuromitsu and kuro was it?) is still as strong as ever.
With Love, Bloodshed, Inhumane goals, this one i'm interested to see how far it goes.

Kuroshitsuji
Hey, another butler anime, and a DEMON butler at that xD
now the first ep was a bit "mmm....." with the 'torterous' of that man, i was thinking it was horror based, though now, its probably less, despite the introduction of shinigamis. I'm still finding it amusing with a one great demon butler and the rest of the useless staff. I'm also interested to see all that there is with the dealings of the contract made.
Its good for comedy, and i can't get enough of the ending scenes ^_^

Toaru Majutsu no Index
This one was one of the ones i was looking forward to, where magic and science mix. A girl who holds several thousands of magical tomes within her and a boy who has a right hand that can dispel all ESP powers and magic too. Originally i was interested to see how it would go, with our girl Index to be forced to only have memories that span for a year, and then a turn about of events in saving her, our guy Touma loses all his memories from the previous incident. I'm awaiting the big plot of this.... definitely....

Clannad ~ After Story ~
YAY! more Clannad! I already know what happens in the end *sigh* (stupid me for watching the movie) just yay for more clannad ^_^

Nodame Cantabile Paris Arc
Well i was anticipating this with just recently finishing the first season.
However, i've only watched 3 eps and am APPALED! (is that how you spell it? o_O?)
FRIGGIN HELL!! They took out so much of the music >_< !
and that forced me to read the manga.
and now i'm depressed at where that's heading and don't feel like watching more nodame since its so much rushed and chopped up. wtf is j.c. staff doing here?

Tytania
Well well, another super power anime. this one is in space. With no mechas yet as far as i can tell. And they seem to have a british like-age tot hem too. I'll see how this goes for plot. Doesn't seem too bad and doesn't seem too good yet. i wonder why so many people praising it.

ToraDora
School Anime. Comedy. Romantic Comedy? Who knows. This is comedy with the short tsundere? Taiga (Tiger) and nice, mould-killer Ryuji (Dragon). and the other cast of Ami, whats-her-name-that-is-happy-go-lucky-cheery girl and what-his-name-with-glasses yea... my mind is screwed so no names to remmeber yet -_-
Still, fun stuff this one.

Ga Rei Zero
Bwargh, i read that this anime is to be a prequel to the manga? i dunno i haven't read it, but the first ep left a nice impact, a lot of main? chars got killed quickly o_O which makes you think "so... what hapens now? o_O" and so we go and look in to the past that lead to these events.

Tales of the Abyss
man.. i should go watch Tales of Symphonia, i hear its better. i dunno why i'm stil following this. Its anoying me... hopefully it picks back up. Or i should play the game...?

Chaos; Head
Well well.... i was following this because of the cool di-swords. And man... that is definitely not a good enough reason to watch this anime -_- What i'm looking forward to now, is now the world wll be destroyed as was dreamt in the series. The main character is a useless guy. He hasn't reached the level of the Makoto in School Days because he hasn't screwed around with so many girls. but his friggin delusions and pathetic-ness is getting to me -_- not a good sign.
i'll see how this anime goes on and hope it somehow interests me more....

And so, ends basic conclusions of what i've been watching generally.
(i also marathond stargate! bt that was during exams -_- )

After all this though, i still think that mangas are better to marathon.
You go at your own pace and nto dragged into theirs which can drain you more *sigh*
That, or its coz i'm not moving much -_-

Btw, i've canceled my idea on wordpress, seems to much hassel right now. sorry.
