New Anime Today

Hanbun no Tsuki ga Noboru Sora – final, 6th episode is out. This is a short series dealing with a very sad subject, love where one person doesn’t have a long time left to live. I just finished watching it, it’s fairly nice and touching, but sad. It sidesteps most of cliches that are so common in romance genre, though there are a few annoying things – mostly some hard-to-believe stuff, like doctors and nurses beating up patients (no, really). Worth watching, unless you must avoid sad stories (I won’t blame you).

Petopeto-San – Ep. 7, finally, after who knows how many months of waiting (I just checked – 4 full months!). I really like both the opening and the ending songs for this anime. While it’s one of the more bizzare titles out there, to be sure, I like to finish watching what I started.

Aria, final episode 13 – and speaking of ending, yet another series ends today (for fansub watchers at least). Final episode of Aria is appropriately nice and recap-like. Not that there’s much to recap in this series – which actually means that the recap itself is not much, or in other words, it fits well with the rest of episodes. I kind of enjoyed watching this slice of life series, but many people will not – because, really, just about nothing happens. It’s people discussing their feelings, enjoying nice scenery or just enjoying life in general, by doing nothing. This is kind of show that has an effect on you by influencing your mood, and not by shocking you, teasing your mind or your hormones or just plain entertaining you. If you don’t like talking about feelings, you won’t like this. I heard there’s going to be a second season; we’ll see.
