Well, I am on Maybreak from school and so I decided to do another
themed month. I mean, why not? It’s been a while since I did a themed month, by
that I mean two months.
This time, the theme is “Guilty Pleasures”. Now, in anime, there are those titles that are either infamous
for some reason and/or so out of bounds in terms of mainstream standards that
it’s hard to get into. Titles like that include Panty and Stocking w/ Garterbelt,
Queen’s Blade, Ikki Tousen, Elfen Lied, and others. You know, those shows that
when you mention liking them in conversations with your anime friends, they
give you weird wide-eyed stare like ‘what the heck is wrong with you?’.
Granted, I haven’t watched much of Queen’s Blade of Ikki Tousen as they
seemed too much for me (too much as in being too stupid). Eiken I would consider a 'guilty pleasure' if it wasn't so dull, boring and insipid, so I don't. Elfen Lied I watched
all at once and that was it. Panty and Stocking I watched around the time and
enjoyed it quite a lot and hope on getting the collection on DVD this summer,
perhaps reviewing later in the year. Not at this moment, unfortunately.
Of course, being a personal blog of written anime reviews, I have
chosen three titles that I consider ‘guilty pleasures’, at least in my opinion.
Here’s my schedule, returning to Sunday releases:
May 6th Anime Review No. 30: Magical Witch Punie-chan
May 13th Anime Review No. 31: Golden Boy Part I
May 20th Golden Boy Part II
May 27th Anime Review No. 32: I Dream of Mimi
Once again, I am doing a two part review on Golden Boy as I own it on a
2-DVD collection.
If you haven’t heard of any of these, then prepare for it. If you have
heard of one of these (and you probably already know which one that is), then
still prepare for it. It is going to be interesting.
