First impressions on my picks for this season

Watched the OP of RxJ. Dammit, if I didn't already confuse this show with Gankutsuou, the Japanese "You Raise Me Up," which thanks to CFUD's OOC comm is like *the* Franz/Albert song for me, is making things ten times worse.

In other news, I wish to remake the current Geass 300 trailer as it should be. Because as awesome as Suzaku is, ain't nobody can say "TONIGHT WE DINE IN HELL!" like crazy-ass Zero. With any luck, somebody with more skills and time on their hands will beat me too it, and the result will be a better product.

As I expected, Darker than Black did not win me over with its first episode. Lee reminds me too much of L and I'm not overly interested in the secret powers. I'll give it another go next week and see if anything snags me harder. Romeo x Juliet, on the other hand, was an instant winner, with Zorro!Juliet, flying dragon horses, adorable Benvolio and Albert!Romeo. I'm not sure what's up with the story itself since the Capulets are a bit MIA and I really hope that guy in the beginning turns out to be Paris and not Tybalt, but I like the twist. I don't think I will entirely despise the romance between the main characters this time around.

psst.

After reading a couple of your posts on Code Geass I decided to download it and am now hooked pretty dang hard. So even though you may not have been intending to give a recommendation, thank you! ^__^

*goes back to lurking and watching ep5*

Oh I am always happy to see more people getting into Geass. This makes my day. ^^

Dude, it rocks so hard! I was surprised at how much I enjoyed it, because normally political intrigue and giant robots aren't my thing, but the combination of writing and ooh pretty got its claws into me good.
