Fill my craw with anime

astillarI know I should be working on cosplay, but screw it. It's getting on my nerves.
So instead, I've been watching random animes that have been on my to-watch list. Or that just randomly drifted across my screen at the right moment.
Jigoko Shoujo - A little old to still be available as fansub, but I haven't been on the bleeding edge of anime for awhile anyways. At first I thought, "Oh hey, it's like Vampire Princess Miyu." Now, I don't think so. It's not nearly as interesting. Way too repetitive. "Watashi wa Enma Ai, blah blah blah." If I wanted to watch a heartless supernatural girl, I'd watch VPM. If I wanted to see people suffering, I'd watch Paranoia Agent. JS just doesn't seem to be on the same level as those two.
Utawarerumono - I still hold onto the first episode solely for that tail-grabbing scene. Heh heh heh. Ah, the production value seems good and the story fairly interesting, though I can already see where it's going. I wish I could get the game to work, but it's all buggy. That's too bad. The art and gameplay looked pretty good, like a contemporary successor to Brave Soul, which I consider the best hentai game, in terms of art and replayability. Maybe they'll port Uta over here. *crosses fingers*
Victorian Romance Emma - Actually, I just recently finished it, but damn, I was disappointed. I thought for sure it was gonna be 26 episodes. But then they cut you off at 12. What the hell? Man, that stunk. And it was such a decent, humble, sweet anime with solid character development. Oh well. I'd like to see Emma cosplayed too, by the way.
Honey & Clover II - I'm undecided on this one. I like the cute character designs and gentleness of the series, but at times it borders on soap opera melodrama, which is a big turn-off for me. And the bishonen character design and wardrobes, yeah, those kinda irritate me too. "Let's all have sexy, tousled hair and wear untucked dress shirts. And we're all rich artists/designers. etc" Oh well, we'll see how it goes.
