Anime Relations: Mai-HiME, Blood+, Mai-HiME Specials, Bamboo Blade
Mai-HiME

Until yesterday I was sure that Mai-HiME can get 10 from me. It is true that first arc (1-16) was more or less about nothing and only presented characters who are nicely developped and unique. However, the second arc overcame averageness and story started to show some strength. So near to ultimate score...BUT that OMFG last epizode knocked it down!!! If contest of worst-worst-worst ending was announced, Mai-HiME would get my vote.

I do not want to spoil here but after several epizodes which showed me, for anime rare, emotions as despair and misery and I really enjoyed it, they totally messed the grand final. If you think that Claymore ending is a crap, you definitely have to see this one! SO sweet that my teeth still hurt... Anyway Mikoto rocks ^^

What you should not miss is the memorable music. Songs are absolutely da best I have ever heard in anime (including ef- tale of memories)! Choirs and classic instruments...flawlessness


Blood+

I have thought after longer series as Monster or FMA that long series can not offer much and they are more or less parazite on the plot. Blood+ is the first series which corrupted my belief. Actually I like longer novels which allow to you reveal characters and become a part of story. 50 epizodes were not sufficient for proper ending and it made me to think about it no matter that it was already gone. Have to mention nice OPs! Especially 3rd one.

Bamboo Blade

Kendo as school comedy? Who'd like to watch it? I thought so as well, but this comedy got me as School Rumble did. Ok, It is not same kind of absurd humor but I often laughed loudly. However, Characters are true strenght of this anime. Each of them is interesting and individual, I can't find in my mind any comparable series so you have to watch to learn the hard way;)

Lets call out: Tama-chan! Tama-chan! Tama-chan!
