Trigun: Finished this last week. Spends too much time on slapsticky anime humor, which generally does nothing for me, but it's a decent series overall. I don't know how in the hell Vash expects to reform someone like Knives, but I guess it would've been against the spirit of the show to kill him at the end. That is one thing the series gets dead right: Vash pays for his pacifism, constantly. Enemies don't just fall over to help him because he's so darned nice (in sharp contrast to too many RPG leads).
Hell Girl: Overwrought. Princess Kaguya forces her way into a Persona plot. They make no pretense of the condemned being anything other than walking sacks of excrement, so it gets repetitious right about the second episode. Oh well. There is a flying chariot with a Wanyudo wheel, though. I guess that's something.
The Girl Who Leapt Through Time: Watched it, it was good. See Soppy hype, I guess; probably less enthusiastic on my end, but yeah, it's fun. If your average high school student got time travelling powers, this is pretty much what the results would be, I figure.
Red Garden: Finally got around to seeing the last two episodes of this. Ending was okay but likely would've had more impact if I'd watched it in sequence instead of like four months later. Eh. Also, Funimation tossed the OVA onto the final disc to pad it out (would've had only the two final episodes otherwise). OVA is very uh. I don't have enough "what." for it. It's like four hundred years in the future and the main characters are wandering bounty hunters, the main series's side characters are all there in some bizarro version, Rachel builds a FABULOUS mecha, Lisa is robo-Myria...right. And given how the main series ended, all this nuttiness could actually be canon. Oh well, at least even the girls seem to know that their theme song sucks.
