@lolikitsune: I expect a lot of fun when I mention H2O later on… kekeke….

Shit does that mean I actually have to watch the show now?

@Mikoto: (Yay it’s Mikoto! Good to see you alive every now and then.)

What? Me? Biased for the megane guy? … a little … :P

I can definitely see where you’re going at; there haven’t been any true magical girl shows in recent memory in the same sub-genre, of sorts, as CCS or Shugo Chara. These are the ones that aim stuff both at children and at an older set, as opposed to Pretear or whatever that sets the bar too low, or eroge adaptations like NanaDrops. Both, probably have some sort of appeal, but not as much as shows like this.

Well, hope you enjoy continuing on with SC! ^^

@FuyuMaiden: Glad to see the resident Shugo Chara person on my side. :P Yeah, episode 33 and thereabouts was definitely a high point for Kairi, and he’s made very few missteps, in, uh, Kairi fashion…

Hahaha, not making a girl blush is a ‘problem’? What of ye old paradox ‘being around the girl you love and want to be happy causes her emotional anguish’; I can only imagine if he ever comes back, Amu’s thought train of ‘oh god he confessed to me he confessed to me what what what’.

Well, if Ikuto or Tadase haven’t done anything more interesting by then.

I said it once and I’ll say it again. Kairi…coolest fourth grader ever. He was always ahead of the other boys in Amu’s…erm…male harem. I still remember episode 33 when Ikuto and Tadase run off in their little fight and Kairi comes in to give Amu a present that she really wanted. Boys need to pay more attention to girls (like Kairi!). Ah. Even being an AmuxIkuto supporter, I can’t help but cheer Kairi on.

…Maybe it’s because he never had any chance. ^_^; A boy that can be near Amu without making her blush…but I suppose he rectified that problem in the end, didn’t he?

You’re finally mentioning a show that isn’t terrible. *limp clap*

Kairi totally didn’t save the episode for you with his megane…ness!

Most of the “newer” magical girl shows never really hold my interest long enough. Moetan was just a service to the pedophiles. Nanatsuiro Drops was cute enough, but I never fully enjoyed it. Karin was animated FAIL. Sky Girls and Strike Witches… similar to mahou shoujo, but not quite, and not as good either (ESPECIALLY THE LATTER, dammit :/). Shugo Chara seems to more reminiscent of those [older] magical girl anime back in the day (not that I’m THAT old. I’m not even of legal age yet, but I can surely tell you that I’ve enjoy more of the older magical shoujo shows than the new…), and I’ve enjoyed from the amount I’ve seen (25 episodes?). If it manages to actually go up every time it goes down, then I’ll be satisfied. Not Cardcaptor Sakura-worthy, but definitely not bad. Definitely.
