Recently, I have been spending most of my free time re-watching some of my favorite old anime series. To be frank, I hardly have any mood to watch the ongoing series. Among the many Fall series, I've only started watching a few. Here is my impression of them:1. Aoi Bungaku (Episode 1)Light look-alike!What's Hot? So far, 5 episodes have been released and I only just finished watching the first episode. I'm not going to watching the rest as it's night time now.Anyway, this series is an adaptation of six Japanese literary works by famous authors:No Longer Human (Ningen Shikaku) by Osamu DazaiRun, Melos! (Hashire, Melos) by Osamu DazaiKokoro by Natsume SousekiHell Screen (Jigoku Hen) by Ryunosuke AkutagawaThe Spider's Thread (Kumo no Ito) by Ryunosuke AkutagawaIn the Forest, Under Cherries in Full Bloom (Sakura no Mori no Mankai no Shita) by Ango Sakaguchi.The first adapted story is No Longer Human and I must say the story is intriguing and creepy. If I'm not mistaken, mangaka Takeshi Obata (Death Note) is the artist behind No Longer Human. Takeshi Konomi (Prince of Tennis) and Tite Kubo (Bleach) will also be involved with the production. I'll definitely continue watching this but I'll probably do it during daytime.What's Not?If you are already feeling depressed, please don't watch. It'll only make you feel worse.2. Fairy Tail (Episodes 1 - 3)What's Hot?The only thing I like about Fairy Tail so far is its main characters, Natsu and Gray.What's Not?Hmm... the first 3 episodes turned out to be quite a disappointment. Though it's not entirely boring, it's not very interesting either. In terms of action, there's nothing I have not seen before. In terms of humor, it's only average. However, despite the negative comments, given the success of the manga, I believe this series has the potential to be good.3. Thriller Restaurant (Episodes 1 - 2)What's Hot? This looks like it's meant for kids but for some reason I'm enjoying it! Don't be deceived by the lame-looking ghosts as this series is actually quite entertaining. Thriller Restaurant is supposedly a horror series but I actually find it more amusing than scary. The stories are all very short and I guess that's the reason why I don't feel bored while watching this series.What's Not?If you are hoping to have a good fright watching this series, I think you'll be disappointed.4. Miracle☆Train ~Ouedo-sen e Youkoso~ (Episodes 1 - 4)What's Hot?I admit I am superficial! The only reason I'm watching this is because of Roppongi Fumi and Shinjuku Rintarou.What's Not?The plot is boring and the jokes are sometimes funny, sometimes lame.
