Haven’t taken a look at Zombie Loan since I’m not even sure what gender it’s targeting. The premise sounds interesting and has shades of Tsukihime (in the main character) but I’ll probably only pick it up when I run short on anime.

Hashihime: That’s what I’ve been hearing a lot of, that Code-E is a very old-school style anime. Luckily all those hooks you mentioned don’t appeal to me drastically so I’ll have to look forward to the next few episode.

Anon: Read up on Jeff Lawson, and he didn’t seem to mention it a whole lot. Haven’t really watched R.O.D. either so can’t speak of any comparisons to that.

Will agree that the male protagonist is bordering annoying; he seems good-intentioned but his naiveity/density is almost becoming cliched at times.

I should probably clarify, when I said that he compared it to R.O.D, I meant he compared it favourably, but he just said that the anime community as a whole seemed to be veering away from shows like that.

Might be worth you checking out.<br/><br/>I saw the first few episodes of it, but what really made me lose interest was the speech that the guy gave about what science was "for". It just seemed really silly, of course.. that's no good reason to dismiss an entire show, just because of one character, but it's obvious he was the love interest so if I found him annoying, the show probably wouldn't do much for me.<br/><br/>Like hashihime said, the subs are a bit eratic too, mostly done by 'anon' now. I may give it another go after reading this post.

It does move slowly, but it has actual characters and actual feelings, as opposed to just surface pretense. And the plot is odd enough to be unpredictable. It's not perfect, but it's more interesting to me than 90% of the shows that are on right now. <br/><br/>Don't look for the normal hooks, however: no fanservice, no fighting, no fancy animation, and no stupid jokes. Like the opening theme (which I enjoy) it's rather old-fashioned. In a good way. I’m up to episode 11 (raws and Chinese subs), and this is one of the shows I look forward to every week.

Nothing in it really compelled me, unlike, say, Zombie Loan. Have fun catching up on it. Let me know! (: Subs were erratic after episode 3, which is where I stopped watching it.
