This is a definite watch for me – at least the first episode. I can tell it’s going to be good because…well, I just know (hope I’m not wrong!) Firstly, it’s got very good character design, second, pretty good quality which means decent-high budget, and third, it’s mecha! Hooray! Seriously, the last good mecha I saw was Gundam Seed. I mean, come on! Not all mecha has to be Gundam right? I had high hopes with Zegapain…but they were just hopes. Same with Innocent Venus – and it wasn’t even mecha at all (well, it was a little bit…) So now, all hope resides in this, and so it shall dare not disappoint…muahaha!

Btw, take a look at the entry I did on the trailer here.

For some reason, I just know this will be one of my favourites this season. And that is not because of how everyone else is highly anticipating this. I never listen to what anyone says (sorry ^_^”) and by that I mean no matter how much a show is belittled, I will try it, and no matter how much a show is praised, I will still try it – all the same. BUT, this is different. One reason is KyoAni is doing it! But I’m not sure of the other reasons…Doesn’t matter though, as I guarantee myself that this show is going to just blow me away.

And also, the entry I did on the prelude is here.

“Abe no Masahiro is a grandson of the great Onmyoji, Abe no Seimei, but Masahiro is still inexperienced and an apprentice. According to Seimei and Masahiro’s monster buddy, Mokkun, Masahiro’s spiritual power is strong enough to be the successor of Seimei.”
Hmm…seems like a shounen show. Not sure about this…

Ooh, storyline seems interesting, but a cop show?
