Hello.
And no, no Air Gear today. I decided to write a mid season short review of the anime winter season.
Beelzebub
I have seen 7 episodes so far, and I have to say that it’s more comical that I expected.
I had seen a few manga pictures before but not read it and I thought that it seemed more serious.
But anyway, I am annoyed by all the nakedness! Can’t that child get some clothes? Sometime?
I can clearly see that it is a shounen, a comedy shounen. But I suspect that like most comedy/gag manga it will be a more of less serious arc later on when it’s better established.
Anyway, I find it kinda good, I don’t know if I would continue watching it if it is to be a long runner but for now I’ll follow it.
Fractale
A 11 episode original anime. 6 of them so far.
I liked the first few episodes but not so much anymore. The boy annoys me, Phryne annoys me now as well, her name as well.
But I really like the opening song. But the story, well, to be honest. I don’t really get it. There is a system, fractale, the is designed so that humans don’t need to worry about anything but they get brainwashed in the proses. And there is an organist ion that is against that and wants to destroy it. By killing nuns? I’m not that sure about the last part but that’s what I snapped up.
And what? Why? Gah! And that bath scene in the latest episode? Ugh. (Is she the innocent fan service girl?) Same as that underwear scene in episode 5. . .
Anyway, I will finish this. To see if I grow back to liking it.
Gosick (Is the title engrish for Gothic?)
A mystery historical story. Currently watched 6 episodes.
The characters might not be the most likable, but I don’t dislike them.The design are kinda. . . But the setting is nice. Victorique is the most questionable character. I would like her but she annoys be the way she treats him. (who’s name slipped my mind).
At the point that I’m at right now it explores her, or to be more exact, her mothers background.
Hourou Musuko/Wandering son
I’m following the manga, as much as you can with the unregual outings(?).
And as everyone else that had read the manga I noticed (duh) that the anime starts when they enters middle school instead of when Nitori transfers in fourth(?) grade. Why? I don’t know. To get to the juicy parts faster? If you ask me, I liked the beginning better. And I deffidenty prefer the manga over anime. I dislike plenty of voices, especially Nitoris. I wonder if the ones who only watched the anime get confused.
Since I read it I already knows about what happed earlier, the character development. And how they first got into cross dressing and so on.
Mahou shoujo madoka magica
At first I thought, oh Magical girl, seems pretty decent I’ll watch that. And then, Oh, serious magical girl, Nice!
And then. OH MY GOD! IS THAT EATING WHAT I THINK IT’S EATING?
So yes. Not as happy as it seems on the promoting pictures. But I like it. Plot twist and lot’s of angst. This sure is a keeper. 
By the way, no magical madoka after 8 friking episodes!
That’s it for now.
Sket dance and Air gear is comming up, sometime. Haha
