Dragon Crisis 01 was pretty bad. Super generic, iffy art, very bland look apart from those butterflies... it didn't leave me hating it so much I ruled out even considering watching the second episode, like, say, Asobi no Iku Yo did (I hope I won't continue with this series, but we'll see, perhaps I will anyway), but that's about the only good thing I can think of to say. The characters are idiots and they all know backstory we're not being told, which is frustrating. I can't say I was disappointed because I had zero expectations from the show, so I guess it was pretty much exactly what I thought it would be... bad and probably a waste of time.
Coyote Ragtime Show 06 - Yeah, I definitely like this show. It's half over already, which is too bad, but the fast pace and good action really make me want to keep watching. The story's just decent, but eh, it's good enough. It's the action that really carries the show, and there's a lot of it. Oh, the characters are all pretty good too. :) The big battle in the giant transportation warp gate just finished, are they at Graceland? And how will Mister and the thieves open whatever it is with Marciano in possession of the key (and psychosis, and killer assassin goth (loli?) robots (they're creepy, they obviously were not programmed with the slightest shred of regard for the lives of the people, innocent or no, they kill while attempting to accomplish their missions... Mister does bad things too, but they seem more evil somehow.))... and then there's the inspector of course, we'll see what she does.
Madoka Magica 02 - Woah, this show is awesome. Really, I like this a lot. It's got great, very original visuals, great music, a decent story with some depth, and more. On that last point the bit about being so privileged that they can't think of anything to ask for really stood out, an accurate assessment indeed I think. The visuals for the witch fight were really cool again too. A completely different looking style from the first episode, I think, but no less awesome looking. The backgrounds in the normal world are quite well done too though, nicely detailed and cool looking. And it's all accompanied by that fantastic music, too.
The story does seem somewhat stereotypical, and the same is true for the characters, but still, this is pretty good.
Oh yeah, and yeah, I also wouldn't be surprised if this show takes a darker turn. I don't know HOW dark a turn it might take, but somewhat darker at least wouldn't surprise me at all. We'll see what happens though.
