First Impressions Part 5

Kaiba
Dreamy art style atypical for anime. Reminds me of those “Ma Me Moo” animated shorts with the green polka-dotted cows that used to air on TV. Some sort of Sci-fi story is going on; though the art might cause some viewers to find it too kiddy or arty-farty. Definitely something that moe-addict Kagamisumi would not even touch with a ten foot pole. Probably no one’s going to sub it. Pity, cos it’s got an exciting cast consisting of Kuwashima Houko, Park Romi, Mamimami, etc.

Kyouran Kazoku Nikki
Not bad. Its brand of energetic comedy is at least on par with the 2 HnG clones, if not better. Probably going to have tonnes of character-driven gags, since there’s a large amount of quirky personalities the scriptwriters can play with.

Chiko Heiress of the Phantom Thief
Where in the World is Carmen San Diego? My comments probably got stolen by the Thief with 20 Faces because I don’t have much to say about this show. Hirano Aya’s Chiko hasn’t got time to develop her awesomeness in the first ep, but I’m guessing she’s got to carry the show eventually. Wolverine has a cameo. I’ll upgrade this show to best of Spring 2008 if Storm has a yuri encounter with Jean Gray in ep2.

When does Real Dive start btw? Hasn't the first ep aired already? Can't find a decent, erhem, TV channel that shows it. And there's only one miserable uncooked copy of Uchi no San Shimai in the Library of Tokyo.
