Anime? To rec or not to rec?

Gun X Sword.

is. amazing. and boring.

I'm not sure whether I'd rec it or not. It has something for everyone, I'll admit. It has guns! Swords! Mecha! Boobies! Sci-Fi! Western! Tall lanky men! Cute women! A little romance! Yeah! Action! Drama! Bloody history!

Yeah, it has it all, but it's filled to the brim with cliches and while I personally like it (if only because I have this effing little crush on Wendy now; she's absolutely adorable), I'm going to imagine that the plot is going to get predictable very soon. The art is nothing to laugh at, but the characters are a little weak, and I don't feel any special pull by the plot. I've only seen two episodes so far, so I'm going to reserve from making a complete judgement, but overall, it's a decent series with good art, an entertaining pair of main characters, but be wary of the obvious rip-offs of more well-known anime.

Or, you know, it could be making fun of them. I kept getting the sense there was a little bit of teasing in regards to how popular CB and Trigun were...

But seriously! There's mecha in a gun n' sword western! That's pretty cool in my books. =)

Emma: Victorian Romance is another one of those little series I think goes beyond the limited audience it was marketd to. It's short; thirteen episodes, but it's a well-animated, realistic portrayal of the life of a Victorian-era maid living amid rigid social codes and a social hierarchy that limited relationships in many ways. Lovely series.

Still waiting for Speed Grapher 16. ;_;
