Okawari! Yep, I am not sated yet. With so many potentially good series this summer, it is hard to make a decision which series to effectively watch and perhaps even blog. So here’s to confirm or veto my first good impressions on the eight series I picked. Don’t worry, I will (try to) keep it short this time.

But that’s stating the obvious (why would I keep writing if there’s barely no feedback at all), and apparently that’s asking for too much anyway. Bah, I’ll address this ever recurrent problem some other time, the main dish comes after the jump!

Besides, this is the 200th post on this blog! Yay~

Well this being my ‘official’ first post, hopefully it isn’t terrible. :3 Maybe this “# Weeks In…” could be a regular occurrence, like a check-up at the doctor’s office.
So here are just a few impressions of this season’s shows so far. After 5 weeks lets see how they are coming along!
Pictures, spoilers, and more after the jump.

After today’s episode, I was diagnosed with a severe fit of laughter. Funniest ep so far!

Sadly, no new Hyakko next week, it seems. (No info on TVTokyo timetable either, it’s a huge blank shortly after Tora Dora.)
