Just watched Beyond the Boundary and I'm not yet sure what to think. It obviously had tons of potential and it was gorgeous to look at, but the blend of interesting supernatural story and generic moe didn't mesh well with me (and that deus ex machina didn't help). Sort of reminds me of Ga-rei- which had a similar mix of action and out of place moe (or yuri).

I dunno...any thoughts?

The story for that is just all over the place.  Interesting characters and semi-interesting setting but the framework somehow felt paper-thin.  Could simply be too much material for a short anime, though I know it has a special coming out.  I'd grade it as slightly above average, mostly because it had some good dialogue and character interactions.  The climax and resolution were disappointing.

In other news, I just watched Isuca ep. 1.  Heh.  A Battle Harem revolving around a tsundere loli, huh?  You know, though, the thing that really annoyed me was how the immensely powerful monster just bloody stood there waiting to be attacked.  Awfully nice of it to let the girl request the boy's coat, put it on, and tie her hair up so that she could slowly point her bow at it, all after blowing her clothes off with pin-point lightning strikes to begin with.
