Oh Lawd, I've been away for a while. During that time I finished Blue Gender, Mushishi, Cyborg 009 Call Of Justice, and Romeo X Juliet.
Blue Gender reminded me of Xenosaga/Star Ocean at certain points, I got into it whenever that happened. However, the series stands on its own without the resemblance to games that were released AFTER the series. Some episodes were pretty good, and the first half of the series was engaging. Then the second act happens and it all went to hell. Finished it, but left me with a sour taste, character development was awful and the main characters were incredibly irritating.
Mushishi is a masterpiece. Can't wait to watch season 2. The fact that this series creates compelling characters and engaging storylines in almost every episode, while most series struggle to do the same thing throughout their entire length, speaks volumes of how well the simplistic storytelling of Mushishi works. Definitely recommended.
Cyborg 009 Call Of Justice was alright, somewhat entertaining. Art style and animation were a little strange, not quite on the same level as Knights of Sidonia or Blame. Accessible series, a storyline that isn't overly convoluted, and some awesome opening and ending songs. Had to buy them on iTunes.
Romeo X Juliet was pretty good for the most part. This adaptation definitely took some liberties with the way it is presented and the world it features (flying horses lol), but it was well paced and the storyline was pretty well told.... For my personal taste, the series would've been finished by episode 22, as the last two episodes are absolutely stupid and generic. Anime rarely gets endings right, this wasn't an exception; less is more sometimes.
