[Anime] 2011 Summer Season Anime: Recommendations and rants

A summary of the summer season animes that I've been watching~ (^^*)/

The main series that I have been following this season were (will write separate blog entries for these later):


- Natsume Yuu-Jin Chou: Story of a boy and his interactions with the yukan (ghost) world.... Love it! brings warm fuzzy feeling to the heart~ \(^////^)/

- Hanasaku Iroha: Tokyo girl ends up living in a countryside traditional Japanese hotel as a waitress~ Love this also~ was surprised that this was not based on a manga... but have mangas based on it~

- Ao no Exorcist: Story of the satan's son (who gives off blue flames) wanting to become an exorcist~ Started off really good~ even cried through one episode (the one with the cat demon... Q.Q poor kitty)... but then the story kinda turned mediocre... :T still follow it in hopes that it'll go back to how it was~


Natsume, Ohana and Rin from the above series~ <3





I also dabbled in watching these (may or may not write further entries depending on how bored I am):


- Beezlebub: Highschool deliquent fun~ X3 but I had already read most of the manga up to date so thought I'd spend my anime time watching other things... though the filler episodes are pretty funny~ X3

- Usagi Drop: 30yo single guy through some weird twist of fate adopts an adorable 6yo girl~ loved this anime so much ended up reading all the manga, hated the ending... D:... heard rumors that there may be a continuation in the manga in the future... please change the ending... Q.Q

- Kamisama no Memo-chou: NEET detectives~ Great first episode/ arc! Loved fact that it's about not very NEETy NEETS... and that the protagonist... was not a NEET working for a NEET detective agency... @-@; lol~ but then the subsequent arcs were not as good as the first... so did not follow this every week since... :T
- Kamisama dolls: Something about training your own robot/God(?) that plays a little tune when it's on.... and use it to fight others who have these robot/Gods (?)....  first watched this as I had mistaken this for the above... quite interesting concept with the robot/God(?) machines... watched a few episodes.. and not sure why I didn't continue... :T

- Ikoku Meiro no Croisee: Japanese girl living in France...  quite a cute and charming anime.... but was a little slow for me to really get hooked... may catch up on this again later... maybe...


- Idol Master: A idol producer surrounded by a girl harem.... (=.=;) watched a few episodes mainly out of curiosity (I'm not that into loli moe type of manga/ anime... @-@;) and then kind of just lost interest.... the anime is based on a video game... which looks more fun to play than watching the anime...


Which have you watched and any that you'd recommend? (^-^)/
