My bro and I watched the first two episodes of Rio -Rainbow Gate!-, one of the new anime shows in Japan for this season. It was pretty awful. I was expecting some kind of neat gambling show, but instead we get some stupid fanservice show with a bad art style (the breasts have blushes, I'm not even joking). The first episode was painful to watch, and the second one even more so. We're both dropping this waste of time.

There's also Gosick, some kind of detective show featuring a unlikely duo; a girl who is extremely perspective (think Sherlock Holmes), but is completely clueless about the outside world; and a boy that goes to the same school that has common sense and more knowledge of the outside world. It has potential to be interesting, although it's too early to tell right now.

Also watched Kore wa Zombie Desuka? which may prove to be entertaining. The show doesn't take itself seriously which makes it more tolerable to watch. I have feeling that this will be a show that'll lose some of its appeal if it keeps using some of the same jokes and the like. Too early to say right now, but I'll keep watching it and see what happens.

The first episode of Mitsudomoe 2 was hilarious. I couldn't stop laughing at it. The entire first episode was based on the Gachi Rangers, the Power Ranger/Super Sentai parody show. If you liked the first Mitsudomoe, you'll probably love this too. Still gotta get around to watching all of that.

Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magika also looks to have potential. It's a not-so-typical magical girl show that actually looks like it has a dark theme. Also, it's being worked on by Shaft, so it'll be interesting. Witnessed some funky backgrounds but it's all cool. Looks like it could be very interesting to watch, but I'll give it a couple more episodes before I give a solid opinion of it.
