So, I decided to go with "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya." I'm not entirely sure it is bloggable, but it certainly is a riot. As you can see below, I posted the screenshots for episodes 1 + 2, the reviews will follow. Thanks to my master programmer, the 100 pictures per episode limit was lifted, and you can expect fairly elaborate episode walk-throughs from now on. I already see myself frantically hitting the P key in BS player.
On another note, I might pick up Fate Stay Night. Sounds funny, but it has grown on me. In contrast, none of the new shows (with the exception of HaruSuzu) does this for me. Soul Link, Kiba and Utawarerumono show some promise but then feel so predictable. Simoun so far is just too much fanservice, even by my fairly liberal (I believe) taste. Not sure. Any other suggestions?
