Hiatus and wishlist for Fall series

I don't usually put up hiatus notices but since I'd be away for 3 weeks without internet access, I thought it'd be the responsible thing to do. This tanuki will be back only in mid Nov, hopefully a leaner, meaner rodent with a voracious appetite for anime after missing out for a while. Anyhow here's a wish-list I hope to see in the Fall series when I return in Nov.

DCII - Yoshiyuki dumps Koko for Nanaka. Yume begins to take an interest in knives and Koko in chainsaws.... NOT! Hoping they would at least begin the Otome/Yume arcs.

Myself, yourself - I have only seen 2 eps and I. absolutely. hated. Nanaka. Hoping the series starts embedding elements for a Canvas2-esque upset with Hoshino. I would have preferred Hinako but lolis NEVER win.. *Shakes fists at harem gods*

ef ~ a tale of memories - To have lose some of that visual clutter and invest in creating more endearing characters and a more inspired storytelling.

Clannad - Honestly I don't know how I can hope to get back into the series when I can't connect with the characters. I think my issue is they feel too much like copies of each other. Hoping I can somehow get back into the series with the subsequent eps.

Rental Magica - A proper setting up of the harem premise. I want to know which bishoujos are in and the main rivalry. Actually I have no doubt it'd be between Honami and Addy. But I have a deep suspicion about Kuroha as the dark horse.

Kodomo no jikan - More about Rin's dark past would be nice. For Rin to be so liberal, I hope it's not because she was sexually abused when young. Looking forward to Rin growing out of her cynicism via her increased contact with the idealistic sensei.

Shana II - Ooooh... looking forward for Konoe to raise a SERIOUS challenge for Yuuji's heart. I'd love to see how Kazami/Shana lose their pace/balance with the intro of such a lolicious haremette. GO GO HEKACHAN!

With that, I bid my farewell and may Haruhi keep nice boats quietly docked at harbours.

  1. *starts up the boat crusade mwaahahahahh!

  2. See you in November! Rest assured, Rin definitely wasn’t, although recent events in the manga have me wondering if she will…

  3. Have a good trip!

    More about Rin

  4. If you wondered where little liberals come from, look no further! Actually I think Stripey meant “promiscuous”, but it’s a fun slip of the tongue.

  5. I LOLed at the myself urself comment. sad but true, lolis never win. (cant hate the harem gods or they’ll give us divine punishment)

  6. I am raising the probability of Nice Boat ending for the D.C. II to 2% after seeing Stripey and Hinano’s comment.

  7. See you in six weeks then. Have fun with whatever you’re going to do o/

  8. Have fun with your retreat and may you share with us your newfound insights of lolis :P

    Maybe it’ll start with an encounter like that picture above.

  9. I’ll admit being culturally deficient and ask who the cute anime girl with the cat and turtle is that you’re adorning this article with.

    Wah…. 3 weeks. I’ll have to set my calendar so I don’t keep visiting in error.

  10. Series you probably ought to take a look at when you return:

    Sketchbook ~full colors~ (absolutely Aria-ish slice of life wonderment)
    Sayonara Zetsubu Sensei (hilarious in all the wrong ways)
    Minami-ke (oddly satisfying — echoes of Ichigo Masimaro but grown up)
    Goshuushou-sama Ninomiya-kun (just for the moe-blob, tsun-clutz idiocy of it all)

  11. Aaaaaand I’m back! XD

    Thanks all for your well-wishes. Had a fruitful but more importantly safe 3 weeks :) Am catching up with DCII, Myself/Yourself and rental magika. Reports soon :)

    Vexx: I’m not sure who the bishoujo is except that’s it’s a CIRCUS illustration :P Checking out sketchbook soonest. :)

  12. So are you a leaner, meaner raccoon dog now? :3

  13. Welcome back! It’ll be interesting to see what you think of D.C. II…so far it’s The Koko Show, which is just killing me…

  14. So the Tanuki is back form visiting the elementry schools in the area.

  15. Last week I saw a tanuki being carried around by a loli maid and I thought of you.

    While you were gone, Koko and Yoshiyuki didn’t break up, and the Shanamobile went off a cliff into a sea of oblivion. Fortunately for everyone, there’s still ef – Tale of Memories and Minami-ke (Strawberry Marshmallow Plus Plus), and fortunately for us J.C.Staff fanboys, there’s still Kimikiss.

  16. Zyl: LOL! Unfortunately no. Combat rations are a lot more nourishing than they seemed XD

    suguru: I just saw ep 5 and my worst fear is gaining strength – We might have a Koko end. That said, I’ve began to recalibrate my expectations to ensure I’d still enjoy DCII regardless of its route :P

    Xellos-_^: LOL! I think I saw less than 5 lolis in all 21 days XD

    sixten: I want to be that tanuki.. erm wait a min.. XD I’m catching up on Myself/Yourself and rental magica now. Will be onto Shana soon. As long as there’s harem tension, Shana’s good for me. I enjoyed season one solely for that XD
