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.

I wanna see R&J. Just looks like my kind of series. Plotless comedies bore me, as do anime that never go anywhere or have no character development and that leaves out lots of populat things.

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.
