Kimi ni Todoke #3. Not much to add here. This will probably be my last report, but I am definitely watching it. If you liked the first series, you'll probably like this one and if you didn't you probably won't. There simply isn't much that's new. The biggest frustration I have with the show is that the main couple has regressed so much. It seems like a cheap trick to artificially lengthen the story.

Hourou Musuko #3. I am continuing to enjoy this show. It seems like a show Rob might enjoy. Despite the penchant for cross-dressing of the main characters and their gradual discovery of sexuality, it is done in the most respectful manner. Even when the main girl stripped to the waist to see if she really needed to wear a bra, it was handled in a completely natural and demure way, without a hint of fan-service. And it has a nice central triangle that looks like it could blossom and take several different paths.

Houkago no Pleiades is now announced to start Feb. 1. The latest YouTube trailers look pretty good.
