Sigh, the end of summer! My precious anime-filled summer! *cough cough* So I have two new anime reviews coming up shortly: Special A and Itazura na Kiss. They are both close to wrapping up their storylines, so my reviews should be out in the next month or so. I don’t know why I’m stuck with shoujo anime right now - I swear I was looking for some decent action anime to watch (and review) but they all truly sucked. Oh well - I’ll have to look harder. For now, here’s what I have:

Itazura na Kiss: This romantic comedy revolves around Aihara Kotoko who has loved Irie Naoki all through her high school life. However, Kotoko’s object of love seems almost impossible to reach as Naoki is super smart and handsome while Kotoko is in the rock bottom F-class. Kotoko brings up the courage to confess her feelings but is rejected without a second thought. Fate intervenes and her house is destroyed by a earthquake. Thus Kotoko and her father move in with his high school friend - none other than the Irie family!

Special A: A romantic comedy almost as hilarious as School Rumble, Special A is all about the never-ending rivalry between Hanazono Hikari and Takeshima Kei. Hikari has always been second to Kei in everything, and her sole aim in life is to defeat him. To that end, she has joined the elite private academy Kei attends, and is part of the S.A or the Special A class. The S.A consists of the top seven students of the school who have special privileges and are nothing like the ordinary high school students. Special A follows these seven in a comical story of finding love.

Thats it for now! Hope everyone had a great summer - and looking forward to some great Fall 2008 anime!
