Wow, it's been awhile. New scorecard; not much has changed, except that I tried (and didn't pick up) a few other shows and dropped Kimikiss. Once you've played the game long enough, you get a sense for when a show starts heading down south never to come back up; Kimikiss 5 had that unmistakeable scent all over it. Oh, if only I'd been able to do this while watching the first dozen eps of Blood Plus.
Anyways, the season is turning out to be a lot better than I had initially expected. Nothing is really groundbreaking (well, maybe Kodomo no Jikan, but not in a good way), but a lot of it manages to be great fun. And funny as hell, Shion no Ou and Kaiji are probably my favorite series at the moment (aside from old chestnuts like Genshiken). I am at a loss to explain how this happened, given that neither is the kind of show that I am wont to rate so highly. It's been a strange year, folks.
