Well, well, well. More Fall first episodes, and things are still looking lively.

Dragonaut: The Resonance

This series had me bugged. I wasn’t expecting it to appeal so well, but it did. The opening episode was very nice and laid good groundwork. I anticipate watching the next ep, which will have to wait until tomorrow. Oh, and the characters are busty, but hopefully that will not distract.
WIN: Many character flavours. -
ef - a tale of memories.

SHAFTED! Hehe. So ef has a slightly dreamy vibe along with random SHAFT attributes. Definite harem setup, but still could be a simple love trianlge (or delusional male lead). There is a mystic feel, but perhaps that should be attributed to SHAFT’s cinematography; I don’t think it’s in the realm of Key’s story work.
Chihiro PATCH! Good character, her and miss “my parents are home” Miyamura Miyako are points of intrigue. I anticipate next episode, surely.
WIN: Atmosphere,delusionmystery, a few characters to keep an eye on. -
Shugo Chara!

Shugo Chara reminds me of Kamisama Kazoku in the family sense; Amu’s family is a good one. Though, instead of uber-cute Tenko, we get kawaii chibi things with little tools, books, pom-poms, bloomers, and more. I can dig mahou-shoujo, and it seems this will be more fun than drama (ie Nanatsuiro Drops).
WIN: Hinamori “COOL & SPICY”. Humpty Lock? Guardian Ran is addicted to winking.
These are good hopefuls; I hope they don’t disappoint. Mahou-shoujo SCORE! Anyway, more tiny blurbs about the Fall premiers this weekend (if I can finish my CS projects D:).
