Dang...my friend sent me what he said was the dubbed Naruto opening for when it comes out in the US. I thought it was strange but downloaded it anyway. Damn I'm an April fool!!

Mai-HiME
pros : well developed plot and great pace of storytelling, spotless drawing quality, unbeatable voice cast and good music
cons : character design (manga was inifinitely better imo), has bit too many cliches, wasnt all too funny with subpar humor
i wouldnt call Mai-HiME the best show of winter 2004 - spring 2005 season, but it did live up to expectations. sometimes it got too obvious the show tried too hard combine all the elements that are popular these days (school setting, priestesses, summoned beasts, maid robots and whatnot), which felt a bit awkward. some jokes seemed out of place... last but not least, the last episode was far from being dramatic enough considering all that tension that had been building up in past few episodes. its hard to mention specifics wihtout spoiling it for you, so i will just say they could have had a stronger finish. despite all short comings, this show really deserves some recommendation for its quality.
one noteworthy thing is Nakahara Mai, who did the voice acting for Tokiha Mai (funny, her name is Mai, too), seemed to have a breakthrough in her career imo, expanding her role to a more assertive and aggressive heroine when Tokiha goes nuts in later few episodes. Her best work in my book remains Mizuki Maia of Daphne in the Brilliant blue though.
oh well i guess i will try to finish ug ultimate girls and tactics over the weekend

yeah. who ever thought breadmaking would be interesting. makes my mouth water after each episode.
dude, making a Naruto episode is not that hard
play title song plus that Bandai sponsor (-4 minutes)
repeat the last 4 minutes from previous epsidode (-4 minutes)
Let the bad guy have the upper hand, then the good guy fight back to maintain status quo, and then let the good guy suffer a near-death moment until reinforcement arrive
scientifically explain each special move and ninja power by physic and chinese fung-sui.
have Naruto repeat his famous monologue "Hokkake wa watashi no yume desu"
say "damn it" when the enemy surprisingly dodged and countered your attack.
Repeat scenes from pass episode.
Repeat scenes from current episode.
repeat words like "Zooyugooto", "Dooyugooto", "Guuse", "Kakenoshinbun"
play ending song.
the end
profit

just finished Ultimate Girls, whoa that was quick the series is loaded with some serious barrage of parodies, ranging from classics like amuro gundam to less famous ones like arcade gamer fubuki. reportedely there is a fuzz over the change in the drawing style due to M.O.E's newer line of artwork studio selection, but personally i really didnt mind this one either. WHITE HEAT (OP) by yozuca was one of best anime songs in a while
for those who are wondering what AIR eps13 is about : it is a summary episode of eps 1-12. there is nothing new, no surprises here at all. with that being said, it does get its job done pretty well. watch it if you are kinda confused or oblivious after finishing the series.
