CODE GEASS – 08.5

The episode was pretty much a full recap, with only a few new shots. While there really weren't any new scenes added in, Lelouch did voice over the entire thing. The end also featured a cell phone promotion/contest for merchandise such as the OP single and a Lelouch figure.

Random Musings – The Shortlist of Fall 2006 Anime

Earlier this week, a friend asked me what my favorite show this season was. My answer was "Negima." If I had to say my top-three series for this new season, they'd be:
Negima!? is number one because it wowed me like no other show did. Maybe it's because I didn't have very high expectations or maybe it's because Shinbo Akiyuki's style and approach to the series appeal to me so much. The animation production by Gansis/Shaft is also better than almost every other series out there. The show is weathering a lot of vocal criticism, but I personally love it and eagerly anticipate the type of alternate retelling that future arcs of the story will get.
