~Season in Review~ Summer and Fall

It's that time of anime season again, everything that is good must come to an end. After the jump you will find my short thoughts on many of the shows I have been watching for the past 3-6 months like Mawaru Penguindrum, Fate/Zero, C Cubed, Boku ha Tomodachi Ga Sukunai, The iDOLM@STER, Kyoukai Senjou no Horizon, Maji de Watashi ni Koi Shinasai, UN-GO, and Ben-To.

There are a few other shows I am stalled on watching right now.. Tamayura ~hitotose~, Mashiroiro Symphony, and Working'!! either because I have not watched them yet, or the fansub groups I follow for those shows have not finished subbing yet.

~Sasameki Koto~ Episodes 1-4

Once again I am defeated by not correcting the aspect ratio.
Too lazy to screen snip instead of use the screenshot tool..

Sasameki Koto a show about unrequited love, yuri, and touch of comedy? This is pretty much the perfect show for me to watch ^__^ .  With the comedy thrown in to balance out the amount of emotional crap Sumika has to deal with about her so far one sided love interest in Kazama.  Oh I do pray for a happy ending.. somehow I just don't think it will happen. None-the-less this show is pretty fantastic so far.

~Beat of the Week~ PiPiPiPARU - EastNewSound

Electric loli should be a music genre.  A fun little song from the Touhou music circle EastNewSound.  After reading the lyrics.. kinda feels like a tsundere song.. and its adorable.  This song is off their Comiket 79 album Split Theory, arrangement by crouka, vocals by Tsubaki, lyrics by くまりす.Enjoy please!

~Beat of the Week~ The Homework Never Ends!

Well it's the second Beat of the Week.  Why? because this is what I am doing right now. Homework.  Deadlines. Uwah~  At least the Touhou girls are having fun. Enjoy!

~Beat of the Week~ CYTOKINE - a.shi.ta (vocal Aki)

A wonderfully sweet song from Linjin of CYTOKINE with vocals performed by Aki.  I just can not get enough of Cytokine's music, they are pretty much my favorite Touhou music group.. although Foreground Eclipse is a very very close second.  I was even nice enough to search out the English translation of this song for you as well.  Anyways, enjoy the song!

~Rozen Maiden~ Swear to me on this Rose Ring.

Hikikomori, dolls, battling, and finding oneself. What is this you ask? This is the premise behind Rozen Maiden. Sakurada Jun has dropped out of middle school and spends his time buying dolls on the internet and then returning them before he has to pay for them when one day he inadvertently orders a strange doll by placing a response in his desk drawer.  Enter Shinku the adorable Fifth Doll of Rozen Maiden.

Possible spoilers after the jump as this is a review.  I don't have many screen shots for this show since I watched the majority of it on my Archos 43 media device thingy and the aspect ratio got screwy when I tried to take them on my computer..forgive me desu~

~Beat of the Week~ Dai Hinmin by Supercell

I love this song despite having no idea what the lyrics are about.  The emotion in the singers voice is just spectacular.  You can find this song on the single for the opening song of Guilty Crown, which I might add, Ryo from Supercell does the music for that anime.
