chii’s Does Not Want List
So since I did a favourite anime of all time list I decided to do a list of anime that just didn't do it for me. Like the favourites, making this list has some requirements. It had to have pissed me off a lot and be bad according to my tastes. I generally let a lot of bad things slide by without much thought so these anime ended up leaving a nasty enough impression on me that just made me not able to forget. I have absolutely NO desire to re-watch any of these shows and I generally can't stand the attention they get from most anime fans. Some are failed potential that betrayed my feelings so much that I just can't let it go and some are sequels that completely let me down.
If one of your favourite anime happens to be on this list do not bother leaving flame comments. It will be deleted. Take note that everyone in this world is completely different and so their tastes are different as well. Some people are more compatible than others. If one anime happens to be a masterpiece for someone could be another's poison. These happen to be my poisons! Like my Favourites List I'll update this one when something decides to be a terrible anime that just has to make the list.

Review of 2010 Anime Part 4 ~Fall~
Fall has proven once again to be a very enjoyable season. Having so many shows airing certainly helps. I always feel a little overwhelmed with Fall and Spring anime wise though because there is just so much to check out.
The only 2 shows I didn't start were To Love-Ru and Pokemon. The first because I just haven't watched the season one of and honestly I have no real desire to watch it. It doesn't look like the type of show that I would enjoy in the slightest. The second being Pokemon well... I'm working on it very, very slowly with my Pokemon workout. I'm totally going to be starting that back up again come January.
I'm glad that I enjoyed this season a lot. There are only 5 shows that are under 5 out of 10 rating wise. I think that's pretty darn good out of 25 shows. I'm sad that it does hold the worst show of 2010 for me though. It would have held the best show as well but honestly Katanagatari is a pretty darn good pick for my 2010 best overall.
Best Show of fall for me aside from that adorable little dinosaurs would be Kuragehime. Every character was simply awesome. I'm completely in love with everything about this show it's impossible just to pick one moment.
Worst Show of fall for me without a doubt is Yosuga no Sora, actually no I'll make that one the worst overall for 2010. So next in line for fall is Fortune Arterial. Did anyone honestly even watch this show and enjoy it? Granted I didn't keep up with any chatter about it.
Here's my big list of Best to Worst shows of fall 2010:
- Kuragehime 10/10
- Omae Umasou da na 10/10
- Arakawa Under the Bridge 9/10
- Sora no Otoshimono 9/10
- Star Driver: Kagayaki no Takuto (still airing) 8/10
- Bakuman (still airing) 8/10
- Letter Bee (still airing) 8/10
- Otome Youkai Zakuro 8/10
- Ironman 8/10
- Shinryaku! Ika Musume 7/10
- Soredemo Machi wa Mawatteiru 7/10
- A Certain Magical Index (still airing) 7/10
- Ore no Imouto ga Konna ni Kawaii Wake ga Nai 7/10
- Super Robot Wars: Original Generation (still airing) 7/10
- Hyakka Ryouran: Samurai Girls 7/10
- Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt 6/10
- Yumeiro Patissiere 6/10
- Togainu no Chi 6/10
- Hakuouki 6/10
- Psychic Detective Yakumo 6/10
- The World God Only Knows 4/10
- Tantei Opera Milky Holmes 4/10
- MM! 2/10
- Fortune Arterial 2/10
- Yosuga no Sora 1/10
Surprise enjoyment: Bakuman I personally can't believe I'm enjoying as much as I am. It's slow, slice of school life, and about making manga. I have pretty much NO interest in any of these subjects. Not to mention the romance thrown in here and there. So what keeps me watching and not bored to tears like most people with it by now? I honestly am not sure. I've just been really liking it. I think it heavily has to do with the characters though because they are just all amazing.
Surprise fail: Psychic Detective Yakumo not so much a surprise as a disappointment. I watched the first episode like everyone else and had the grrr reaction to it. The very end held my interest but it still failed. This show made me very sad because I was so looking forward to it.
Honorable mentions: Omae Umasou da na DINOSAUR! Enough said. Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt I didn't enjoy for the most part but I give credit where credit is due generally and it certainly deserves some of that. It was totally unique in a strange and odd kind of way. Yumeiro Patissiere what kind of ending was THAT?! I'm still very angry that they changed the OP from the amazing fluffy macaroon song to the shitty who know what OP. Don't get me started on the lame ending. They should have just kept going with the other series or nothing at all. This is why I generally hate shoujo!
OP 1
OP 2
Thanks for reading!

Tuesday Tally Week 1 Kick Off
Tuesday Tally brings you a huge list of what I have watched in the past week. I figured it would be a fun way to keep tabs on everything I watch. Especially just to see how much I watch in a whole week! I've kept things as spoiler free as possible.
Ok so here we go with some short thoughts here and there on each episode with some pictures that I thought were interesting. Bare with me as I figure out just how I want these posts to go for the next few weeks since they are a tad jumbled. ^__^
November 8th - November 15th
Monday:
Milky Holmes ep 4-5
Overall: I feel this show is quite similar to Twin Angel comedy wise sometimes but sadly overall it really isn't as good. I hope Twin Angel really does get that series that I keep hearing rumors about soon.
Bakuman ep 5-6
Overall: The show is progressing rather nicely. It is slow at times but it picks up interest wise that way. I enjoyed seeing a glimpse of what their manga is all about and wonder if it'll actually be made into one we can actually read at some point or possibly already has. I just thought about checking around for that right now and will do so later if I remember XD I like that they took their feedback from the publisher guy well. It wasn't all positive but it wasn't all terrible either. I really REALLY like that they are going to start giving feedback to each other now as well. Nothing can properly get done unless all parties involved feel 100% comfortable with how things are going.
When the publisher said to them "Gold = Cell Phone Number where Copper = E-Mail" I really laughed. Something about that was really cute to me.
Imouto ep 5-6
Overall: I can't relate to people "hiding" their hobby, but I know a lot of others out there can so I see why this particular subject was brought up. All I can say is a friend is not a friend if they don't accept everything about the other person, good and bad. The grandparents brought a lot of laughs to episode 6 and I think it was by far my favourite episode yet of the series. Especially since it didn't have the annoying little sister in it either except for boring fan-service. Why people want fan-service of that kid is beyond me yet it's anime so it'll happen no matter what. lol
Zakuro ep 6
Overall: The show has 100% gotten my pure love at this point. I'm in love with all the characters and it was delightful to learn about the twins sad past.
Bleach ep 293-295
Overall: I've noticed that when Bleach is actually dealing with plot episodes the recap bit in the front seems shorter. It use to take up a lot of time I found. Aizen is a huge jerk who loves to mess with people. I can't decide if I like this or not but I have a small feeling that Gin will end up being the full mastermind behind everything. I think we're in for more filler episodes very, very soon with the way pacing has been for these recent episodes.
Naruto ep 183
Overall: Whatever, untold fillers from the past. >.< *kicks naruto*
One Piece ep 472-473
Overall: Luffy takes a really, REALLY long time to run up to Ace. I think it's been going on for like 50 episodes now or something. If not, it sure feels that way. 😛
Leda OVA - 80's person in a strange world romp 4/10 very forgettable.
Ai no Kusabi OVA - 90's yaoi with a PLOT other than fucking even though fucking has a lot to do with it XD 9/10 Super interesting and I can't wait to watch the upcoming series whenever that'll actually be released. I'd love to see this ova more fleshed out. harharhar.
Tuesday:
Yosuga no Sora ep 6
Overall: "From now on I can squeeze you everyday!" this show has turned into a hentai...
Heroman Extra 1
Overall: I'm not sure how this is an extra since it all did happen in the show if I remember correctly that is. at 3 minutes or whatever it really was it wasn't hard to watch. Maybe it'll make more sense when more extras come out?
Arakawa 2 ep 6
Overall: She has Parents??? The chick secretary reminds me of the snake chick from One Piece. I'm not sure why I just made that connection after all this time. "Will you come to Venus with me?" is such a great question and leads to some hilarious imaginary of them living on Venus. In the end the episode ended up being more serious than I expected it to be.
Victory Gundam ep 1-15
Overall: The youngest boy to ever pilot a gundam show. We have a pantsu masked man whom I'm not impressed with at all. The Gundam's transforming is super bizarre and just weird to me @[email protected] The thing I notice most is the moving music score that follows these intense scenes when shit is going down. There is already a huge body count and people do not know how to handle these things very well. I still hate Haro and the bad guys in this one aren't as likable as they have been in past Gundam's for me.
Wednesday:
Victory Gundam ep 16-36
Overall: Episode 26 was very @[email protected] You just gotta see it to understand. Episode 36 was also another @[email protected] moment that had to do with Uso's mother. The body count rises greatly and at this point I'm wondering exactly who will be left at the end of the series.
Ika ep 6
Bleach ep 296
One Piece ep 474
Overall: Not much to say here. Some laughs for Ika but the others just more slowly growing plot lines.
Thursday:
Victory Gundam ep 37-END
Overall: More lovely @[email protected] feelings with episode 38. No other series has actually made me make those kind of faces that often. Props to you V Gundam! The most memorable thing of the series is the body count and the fact that half naked ladies were sent out to "distract" Uso... YEAH! I still give the show a 5/10 but I may reconsider bumping it up after I mull it over a little more. Doubtful though.
Naruto ep 184
The World God Only Knows ep 6
Overall: Again not much to say about these 2 episodes.
Kuragehime ep 4
Overall: This show is win. The brother is pure awesome.
Friday:
Hime Chen Lilpri ep 31
Overall: Pumpkin time! Adorable Halloween episode and the girls were completely amazing in their costumes for their singing act. The cats in the show are now reminding me of the Onegai my Melody cats. I still have NO idea why I "like" this show...
Hakuouki ep 17
Overall: The show is ungodly slow. I'm still in love with the backgrounds since they are so beautiful. I really wish the story wasn't about vampire like creatures though cause that's a mood killer for me right there. >.<
Gundam 00 ep 1-13
Overall: The graphics are AMAZING and seriously make me drool. I haven't seen anything this pretty in quite some time. That's what I get for watching a lot of meh series though for the most part. So far I have the feeling that this is an updated Gundam Wing. I just get that feeling with these characters I suppose. I'm not too fond of the civilian sub plot right now and I really hope it has more to add than just comic relief in the future because that's all I'm getting from it at this point. The Russian commander is pure love at the moment. I can't really explain why. It might be that scar XD The drunk strategist is a nice addition but I don't like that a lot of the males look like females. I'm looking at YOU Tieria lol Celestial Beings are pretty darn awesome at the moment.
Saturday:
Gundam 00 ep 14-15
Overall: Shit is hitting the fan.
Sunday:
I DIDN'T WATCH ANY ANIME ZOMG
To be honest though I was sleeping because I was working at a rave all day/night Saturday.
Monday:
Arakawa 2 ep 7
Overall: Those bottle thingies in the beginning were so cool. I laughed a lot at the girls and boys spending time together underground to practive going to Venus.
Sora no Otoshimono 2 ep 7 -
Overall: A sinister angeloid appears and makes things complicated. The epic watermelon issue was hilarious!
Soredemo Machi wa Mawatteiru ep 5-6
Overall: Not sure what that creature is that randomly appears. Pedobear? A dog? I do actually think it is a raccoon though. The show is starting to be very hit and miss comedy wise for me. LUTHERRRRRRR. CZARRRRR. <- funny stuff!
MM! ep 6-7
Overall: The show is just an excuse to have girls in M wear -.- Really tired of seeing this chick give this dude just what he likes thinking it will "fix" him.
Bakuman ep 7 -
Overall: They decide on another sci-fi manga to submit which I find a little risky but the point is to make the publisher see how much they have improved which is a good move to do if they want to compete with that HIGHLY eccentric prodigy kid.
Fortune Arterial ep 6
Panty ep 7
Overall: *Shrugs* I did enjoy some of the music in the 2nd half of panty though.
~~~
There we have it! That really is a lot of anime up there... lol...

First Impressions of Fall Anime Batch 1
Fall and Spring always have the most anime airing and there's generally always something to make people happy. Here are my first impressions on some fall anime so far. They are based on the first 3 episodes. Only one dislike in this batch! Woooo!
* Means I approve and look forward to watching each week.
*Ironman
Well it actually came out this time hehe and I was impressed. It wasn't anything mind blowing but I'm totally entertained by Mr. Stark speaking Japanese XD. I kind of hate the reporter chick but maybe she'll get better as the show moves along... I really hope she does anyway. I'm very interested in this Zodiac enemy that Tony has to face delaying his retirement.
Just so people know I have not read any comic books or anything else relating to Ironman except those 2 movies that are out so I'm just sitting back and enjoying not comparing it to anything.
*Bakuman
Lots of people were excited about this anime emerging from it's manga pages and I can see why. I was afraid that it was going to fall flat for me but the characters pulled through wonderfully for me. I'm going to look forward to seeing these boys work to make their dream come true. The ending of episode one was priceless and episode two's ending left me feeling all warm and fuzzy inside.
MM!
Episode one didn't impress in the slightest. So what he gets off on getting whapped around a few times. Insert an angry school girl that will somehow cure him by hitting him around more... Yeah right... Seems like another excuse for a girl to physically abuse a man anime.
I can't say that as I watched the next 2 episodes my feelings changed to like either. It tried to make me like it though I'll give it that much. It got a little bit of a story with the chick who can't help to hit men because some senior of hers abused her. But that's not really all that interesting to me at all and honestly just makes things a little awkward for me. I think the anime it trying for drama but there's too much "comedy" there to take anything really seriously.
My Little Sister Can’t Be This Cute / Ore no Imouto ga Konnani Kawaii Wake ga Nai
Yet another anime that was one that a lot of people were looking forward too. With episode one I couldn't really figure out why honestly. It was your typical anime obsessed person trying to keep it a secret from everyone but oh whoops someone finds out! I can't relate to that since I never once in my life kept liking something a secret except for maybe a crush on a boy LOL
Episode 2 though wow. It won me over because of the inserted extra characters. They made the show 10 times more funny and omg these children have TWO parents AND they appear in the show! How much more they will appear will depend where the story goes but that's ok as long as her new found anime friends stick around. Saori Makishima is love.
Psychic Detective Yakumo / Shinrei Tantei Yakumo
I'm disappointed with this anime but it's not all that bad, since it could be worse. It's really slow and so far the story hasn't been all that interesting although there was one part at the very end of episode 1 that caught my attention. Can't say much else about the rest of the episodes. A lot of people have been comparing the show to Ghost Hound. Which I have haven't watched but I can totally see why they think that way looking at the synopsis. I'm worried that with this pacing it won't really go anywhere since it is scheduled to have 13 episodes. Unless things start to pick up this will be tossed into the potential anime pile but fell short.

~A Look at Anime to Come~ Fall 2010
Wait what happened to Summer 2010 you ask? Basically I was too busy with real life stuff. We threw an event that I made a lot of decorations for in July and since then there's been plenty of travel and birthday parties to tend to. Now that fall is on it's way and things are calming down again it's time to get back to being a hermit for me and watching current airing anime. Looking at this countdown site and some charts here and there, I've put together this little look of anime to look forward to for fall.
* means I'm looking forward to it... There's not much... Lets start with some season 2's!
~SEQUELS~
*Sora no Otoshimono 2
I love this show to bits. It's loaded with fan-service and the story is pretty darn cliche but I love all the characters to no end because they make me laugh.
*Yumeiro Patissiere 2
Ichigo Amino keeps up with her dream to be a great pastry maker! The show started off pretty meh to me but grew on me a lot as episodes flew by. Now I can't wait each week to see a new one. HAPPY HAPPY MACAROON FUN FUN GO!
*Arakawa Under the Bridge 2
The wacky cast is back for more adventures under the bridge they call home.
Hakuouki: Shinsengumi Kitan 2
S1 wasn't that great but it wasn't too terrible either. I'll watch it for the sake of completion.
Letter Bee 2
I hope there's less crying...
*A Certain Magical Index 2
Unlike most, I really enjoyed Index 1 and disliked Railgun. So I'm quite pleased that this is being made and hope it's just as entertaining as its S1.
Motte To Love-Ru
I know nothing about this show as I haven't seen the first one and have no intention of getting around to it this year or ever probably. Maybe when I run out of anime. Could be sooner than later. Bottom line. This is the only anime I will not be watching.
~NEW~
*Psychic Detective Yakumo AKA Shinrei Tantei Yakumo
Well his red eye there gives him a special ability to see ghosts and spirits! Makes me think of Natsume Yuujinchou but with more mystery attached to it because he wants to help them get to the afterlife.
Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt
Idol angels sent to Earth to fight ghosts... The animation looks totally interesting so I'm game.
Bakuman
Lots of manga fans are looking forward to this one. I have a feeling it may fall flat for me. But if the characters win me over it could be amazing. Boys helping each other make a manga just doesn't seem all that interesting to me. But if it is mixed with great characters and some comedy, it'll win me over like Doujin Work did.
The World God only Knows AKA Kami Nomi zo Shiru Sekai
About a guy who is good at playing games and winning 2D girls hearts... Righto. This one has a lot of hype around it like Bakuman but I'm skeptical about this one not being all that great.
*Ironman
Hope it actually comes out this time 😛 I'm a fan of the live action movies and read a few comic here and there. So it shall be interesting to see in come to life in anime form.
Invasion! Squid Girl AKA Shinryaku! Ika Musume
Moe teaches you not to pollute the oceans or squid loving girls will come for you! lol I can't even begin...
MM!
This one makes me think of B Gata H Kei but it's the males turn to be all weird and perverted. (Like "normal") Instead of making it known like the girl in B Gata H Kei he tries to hide it.
Yosuga no Sora
Harem...
Togainu no Chi
Makes me think of Bus Gamer but I think this will actually go somewhere. Probably not far but I can hope. Survival, crime, war. I hope for lots of action and blood. The, from what I can tell, all boy cast seems interesting to me as well XD
Tantei Opera Milky Holmes
I like detectives so it was only a matter of time before moe got it's hands on it.
Star Driver: Kagayaki no Takuto
Interesting robots I'll say that much. Kinda creepy actually. The idea sounds so generic though but there's a lot of people from a tonne of series I love working on this so who knows.
Otome Yokai Zakuro
"It’s the Meiji Era in a slightly alternate Japan" This sentence is so hilarious to me because looking at the picture above... DO YOU REALLY HAVE TO SAY "slightly alternate" XD I'm not sure who the target audience is here because of the "fox" ear girls and pretty boys in uniforms. It probably will be slow and boring but could be interesting if given a chance.
My Little Sister Can’t Be This Cute AKA Ore no Imouto ga Konnani Kawaii Wake ga Nai
Lolicon bait. Sure to be a hit with most loli fans.
Soredemo Machi wa Mawatteiru
A maid who wants to be a detective... oh why? Could have some laughs, but I'm not holding my breath.
Hyakka Ryoran Samurai Girls
Maybe not quite Queen's blade since it's about "school girls". So I'll go with perhaps it's going to be what the Real Bout High School anime should have been!
Fortune Arterial
Has a Vampire in it... Harem... Eroge Visual Novel... It has already failed for me.
Kuragehime
I don't know about this one. It feels like it's going to be this seasons Yojouhan Shinwa Taikei but instead of a male it's a female. Throw in some otaku stuff of course.
Nougyou Musume AKA Agricultural Girls
This is going to be short 3 minute episodes about some girls that love to grow things. Hope it's good cause it looks adorable.
There's a bunch of ova's coming out but who knows when most really come out and well there's a lot of them that I haven't seen their series or really want to see. I'm looking at you Hidamari Sketch. >.<
At this point I have no idea which titles I'm going to blog. Suggestions welcome ^_^ Overall I'm kinda meh with this line up. I generally never complain about such things because there's always SOMETHING to look at. When only 2 new shows out of like 20 or so that I'm really interested in are airing it's kinda a let down.
