This is the last of the fall 2009 impressions series of posts.

Is calling Kuchu Buranko pretentious fair? Is calling Kuchu Buranko interesting fair? Is calling Kuchu Buranko fun to watch fair? Hmm, I have mixed opinions on all three.

Well, the fall season is indeed living up to the fairly low expectations I had for it. Besides Armed Librarians, the only other show I’m hoping to check out is Trapeze. Maybe I’ll also check out Fairy Tail if the initial buzz is good.

Aroduc wasn’t kidding when he said the power of the Persona force was strong in 11eyes. It was the first thought that popped into my head when Kakeru’s sister summoned that persona in the first scene.

So what is a shoujo show? Is it a guy singing the OP? Is it a girl being the lead? Is it the lack of any semblance of a harem? Is it featuring a guy who’s cool and competent, but sensitive and vulnerable? Is it flowers and pastels? If so, I guess Kimi ni Todoke’s got the shtick down pat.

After reading so many posts about how unbearably moe Kobato was (for better or for worse), I was actually surprised to find that Kobato’s actually a slut who’ll follow any number of guys like a dog chasing its tail, enjoys getting ravaged by ravenous animals, has a fetish for trash, and whores herself out on-stage the first possible chance she gets. Ok, I’m twisting the events a little bit, but I figured I needed to find something to say that hasn’t been said before. Because otherwise, I’d have nothing else to say except that Kobato is undeniably adorable.
