Summer 2011 Anime

[A Black Falcon]

Nichijou 23 - Um, I'm not sure what to say about this episode. It was ... weird, that's for sure. Not many of the jokes this time were actually funny, I thought, they were more just bizarre, or strange but not laugh-out-loud funny. This was a very odd episode... I'm not sure whether it succeeded or failed, it mostly just leaves me wondering what their goal was this time.

There were some funny parts as usual, though. But a lot of it... I'm not sure.

On a somewhat different note, one of the things that makes Mai so creepy is that she never shows any emotion, and because she rarely speaks we never know whether the cruel jokes she constantly pulls on her "friends" are actually innocent, or whether she's just doing it all out of the meanness of her heart. I have no idea which it is, she gives us almost no clues...


Blood-C 10 - Um, huh. Yeah, that ending. That's kind of promising actually, anything else would be better than what's been going on in most of this show...

Other than that, this episode had about three minutes of action and about twenty minutes of nothing happening. Yeah. Clamp doesn't seem to understand the concept of "pacing", that's for sure.
