Sora no Otoshimono (Post date: 2009-10-14, Views: 4001) Chikoku chikoku chikoku!!! (I'm late! x3)... finally finished all my "episode 01"s of this fall season anime.

"Nani ka okashii"... *recites that 15521 times* Weird, somehow I find myself not annoyed despite Kyoto Animation repeated the recent Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu 2009 "Endless Eight" episode for the fifth time.

Hayate no Gotoku Season 2 (Post date: 2009-05-21, Views: 3558) I am still hooked by Hayate no Gotoku since ep1 of the first season but there's something missing in the 2nd season, so far (now ep 7) I haven't heard any bleep censor nor seen the "can't show this" sign in the 2nd season :( In season 1, there were tons of parody and the characters were bleeping out words in *almost* every episode...
