Well, I kind of failed at doing part two on this post. Life has been pretty crazy. Midterms.
Jigoku Shoujo Mitsuganae
This season has started out as quite the mystery. At the end of second season it seemed as if everything was over. How could thing keep going if Enma Ai was in Hell and not coming back. Well, it would seem that she is, to some extent, back at her usual gig after a hot vacation. Except now instead of having an actual body she possesses a school girl who unfortunately bears witness to the horrors of revenge dealt out by Ai and her companions.This season seems to have new mystery attached to it and new acts of hatred that make you hate the human race. Why I watch such a depressing show is beyond me, but how can you not be interested to a psychological extent.

ef - a tale of melodies
So far I have not been totally blown away by this season of ef. Based on the second game of the series, ef- the latter tale, I was hoping for a bit more. The first season really captivated me, but this current season is leaving me feeling like the really cool art style is just lost. I am really glad to get to understand Yuuko's past, but this season is really lacking to me. Hope fully it will get better.Subbed episodes at Chihiro.
Vampire Knight Guilty
Yay for season two of every girls favorite shoujo plot! I am just as pleased with this season so far as I was last season. Kaname is still just as cool and Zero is just as hot (I don't like manga Zero but anime Zero is yummy)! The opening credits at very very nice, and as you can tell by the fact I dedicated an entire post to the ON/OFF single, I really really liked the song. Animation style is quite nice and rather original. I won't go into detail on it since if you are watching this season you probably watched last season and know what I am talking about since you probably heard it all before.I was rather upset that the anime cut out the other pureblood from the vampire gathering in episode 2. She was really pretty and in the manga it added a good amount of say "competition" for Yuki in her longing for Kaname. Oh well. To last to change it.
I have watched at least one subbing of the show from all groups with it on their projects docket and have come to the conclusion that Shoku-dan is still the best subber of the show. They are not the fastest in getting episodes out but with all the shows airing this season plus stuff still being released from last season, patience is necessary.
Chaos Head
One of the best shows featuring a crazy main character in a long time. I am very very happy will how this show is evolving. The last true horror show I watched was Higurashi no Naka Koro ni and Higurashi no Naka Koro ni Kai and this new slice of life horror story falls into the same category 100%. Who knew an otaku could have such vivid delusion. The really funny thing is though that it isn't his delusions of seeing a supposed friend and classmate nailing someone to an ally wall that freaks me out, it is the fact that he really true believes that his favorite anime character lives, talks and comforts him in his room that really gives me the jitters.Chaos Head: mystery, otaku lifestyle, horror and school life. What could be better?

Hakushaku to Yousei
This shoujo anime is totally adorable!!! Earl and Fairy can make any girl swoon; I honestly can't believe I haven't had a nosebleed yet while watching this show! If you liked Ouran High School Host Club, Perfect Girl Evolution, or Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles, I highly recommend getting into Earl and Fairy.Lydia can see and talk to fairy and other magical beings which has lead her into the profession of being a Fairy Doctor. The story takes place in turn of the century Europe. Edgar, an Earl, is out in search of what he calls his birthright, the legendary sword that will allow him to claim back his life of wealth and fortune that was striped from him years before. With the help of his trusted companion, Edgar kidnaps, rescues and hires Lydia for she skills and they adventure together while being chased by a mad scientist and villain in this reverse harem show. Sounds silly, I know, but if your a girl how likes to looks a pretty boys and need a show to make you giggle, this is the one for you.

Ga-Rei -Zero-
This show has me completely lost. It is very nice looking though, with a large amount of CGI.A friend recommended it to me and I am very glad he did. The action is really really great. Plot starts to make more sense by episode 3, so if you'd decide to watch it, be patient.

Nodame Cantabile: Paris Chapter
This short season of Nodame follows the plot laid out in the live action specials. Just as hilarious as ever I am actually a bit disappointed with this season so far. They have left out a lot of stuff that was in the original plot. Episode 2 should have been about two or three episodes long if they had gone with the original plot.I am gonna watch it all though, just because Chiaki and Nodame are sooo funny together.

Mouryou no Hako
Yet another series that has me completely confounded. If you have any insight on what is going on in this series, besides hot Clamp character, please leave a comment. I am sooo confused.How do you "meet" the person who is going to be your reincarnation???
*pulls at hair* So CONFUSED!

Kurozuka
Bloody, historical, twisted. Vampire, immortal, romance.Woman hugging her lover's talking severed head.
My mind has been scarred.
Another series that someone needs to explain to me. I am just so confused with the plot. Is it just me or does the plot skip around on the time line?
This show has a very Death Note kind of look, if you into that kind of thing.
Junjou Romantica 2
I put it last because it is self explanatory and it lightens up this post since most the shows I am watching this season seem to be bloody, depressing, and twisted.Season two of Junjou is just as cute as ever. Read the manga too everyone!
