A little late for the fall anime watchlist but then again, who cares? Fall at least has a few more shows than I would catch for summer, but I still hold only a certain level of hope for specific shows…notably sequels. As for new ones…meh. Consider that I have no faith.

This post contains major spoilers if you have not watched episode 10 of Sekirei ~Pure Engagement~, even for manga readers, because it is a huge move away from the manga. So please read on only after you have finished watching episode 10. To avoid spoiling others through the title, I left it as such.

The long-awaited (and I do mean long) arrival of Cat Shit One did not disappoint – Cat Shit One is the most anticipated series for me this season after watching the first episode. I must admit that despite it being an original net animation, the animation quality was fantastic, and the premise is right up my alley.

The rest of my summer impressions follow for the series I am currently watching – Seitokai Yakuindomo, Highschool of the Dead, and Sengoku Basara 2. Honestly I was not planning on watching any more than the three I mentioned in my summer anime watchlist, but there was hype about certain series that made me pick them up.

Well I actually missed Senjougahara Hitagi’s birthday on the 7th of July, the day of the Japanese Tanabata Festival (for lovers; the Chinese also have a similar day in their culture). So, here is a belated happy birthday to our novel tsundere queen, Senjougahara-sama. Not surprisingly, her birthday puts her squarely in the month of Cancer. Hitagi Crab much? Above image by Sutanri.
