[...] So Umisho hasn’t given me sudden urges to swim [ or be naked ], but it is one of the better ones of Summer. I think it may have a contender if I decide to rocket through Potemayo, which I think I just decided on after reading Demian’s post. My only scuff with it is that Umisho is scheduled for a quick 13 episodes, so I hope the end leave room for more. [...]

Theres alot to be said about Lucky Star. Two reasons : you can relate, and dialogs are actually meaningful, if somewhat leisure.

Oh, and to hell with the Zetsubo crap.

Agreed. Relationship anime is fun to write about because you can speculate endlessly on how things might turn out, how stupid the protagonist is, etc. That’s why School Days seems to be so popular on the blogosphere. Comedy tends to be impervious to analysis; it’s the old saw about nothing killing the joke faster than trying to explain it.

I had the exact same problem when I tried to blog Zetsubo Sensei (lol. subs, where, etc.) and there’s really no way to get around it. To truly appreciate the lulz in comedy anime, you have to watch it, no summary can effectively convey the jokes.

Which is why I blog loads of harem =D
