ef is good. I’m definitely going to see it through to the end even if future episodes bring elements that I don’t like. Contrary to the content of this post, I’m not a very picky viewer.

Monkey butt…LOL…

“A good example of this is the symbolism in ef – a tale of memories.”

I’m sick of hearing about and that line just convinced me to watch it. I’m watching ef right now, literally as I type this I’m letting the opening run. It’s quite catchy.

You know, I was honestly considering watch Ghost Hound if I had any free time, now the whole monkey butts thing….O_o..

Owen, I don’t intend to write off Ghost Hound just yet. As you mentioned, it was a bit of a shock to the mood. They were doing such a good job of keeping the show “spooky,” which is extremely hard to do with animated series. We’ll see.

I agree that Myself; Yourself can’t turn back now. The show has been hinting at some type of frightening undertone to Sana and Nanaka’s past, which will probably be some good stuff.

Shugo Chara just has to keep doing what it has been doing, and I’ll be pleased.

Heh, I’m with you on the monkey butts; distracting, yes, but not something I’d use to write off Ghost Hound as a whole. The experience so far has been riveting, almost drowning in its atmosphere. I’d say that they included monkey-butt as a light-hearted contrast and foil to the serious, almost spooky scenes they’ve been doing so far. Just my thoughts.

As far as the other two shows go, I don’t see Shugo Chara going wrong as it never fails to entertain me week after week. Myself; Yourself is a different beast, though. I’d be terribly disappointed if they return to the norm after deviating into what seems like a setup for AWESOME at this point, and my hopes have reached the point of no return. It’s slice-and-life or bust. Besides, if they return to something resembling normalcy right now, there’s going to be a lot of red herrings they’ll have to explain eventually.

Oh, and I almost pissed my pants during the part in the latest episode where Sana discovered the letter with “HELP ME” written in red all over it. ’nuff said.

You know when an anime character literally falls over because of something either surprising or ironic? I think I flopped over like that while watching that episode.

It totally killed the show from that point forward. Though, I’m willing to give it another chance.

Totally with you on the monkey butt. Episode four of Ghost Hound started off very very creepily, the apparition pursuing Taro down the hallway had me on the edge of my seat, and the heavy breathing and sweating while they were experiencing their own hallucinations was just eerie. Add to that the sound effects, and it was fantastic.

Then that. It completely destroyed the whole atmosphere the episode had been building toward. What were they thinking?
