Anime Analyze: Darker than Black: Ryuusei no Gemini (Gemini of the Meteor) (Anime)

So the next one I will be reviewing is another one that I really enjoyed.  This is Darker than Black: Ryuusei no Gemini (Gemini of the Meteor), the continuation of the anime Darker than Black.  Made and released in 2009 two years later than the original season, it is a little shorter than the first season having only 12 episodes in it instead of the regular 24.  There has been since a series of OVAs called Darker than Black: Gaiden, which explains what happens in the two year gap between seasons and I may have to check those out sometime.  The opening theme is "Tsukiakari no Michishirube" by Stereopony.  So lets take a look at the continuation of an awesome series, Darker than Black: Ryuusei no Gemini. 

Anime Analyze: Pumpkin Scissors (Anime)

So the next series that I watched recently was Pumpkin Scissors, a somewhat comedic military anime.  It was originally a manga started back in 2002 and (unfortunately) it is another one where the manga is still going, even to this day, but they decided to stop the anime for whatever reason, leaving the majority of the series as well as many plot points left unattended to.  Anyway, the anime adaptation was made in 2006 by Gonzo (think Afro Samurai and Kaze no Stigma) and consists of 24 episodes at regular half hour length each.  The opening was "Aoki Flamme" by Yoko Takahashi, and here we go into Pumpkin Scissors. 

Anime Analyze: Clannad (Anime)

So the next anime that I watched was definitely a different one from the last few.  It is definitely not as "actiony" as some that I have seen and the main reason that I watched it is that Hikachan told me to.  He said it was good and I do have to agree with him in some respects.  And while this genre of Anime is not one that I usually watch, I will say that I enjoyed watching it.  This is Clannad, a slice of life anime that was released originally as a visual novel for the PC in 2004 and was adapted into an anime and released in 2007-2008 by Kyoto Animation.  It has 23 episodes, 22 of which are normal while the last one is a special OVA based around an alternate timeline where two different main characters are dating instead of how it normally worked.  The series has a sequel series called Clannad After Story which is considered one of the greatest anime series of all time, but we will get to that one later.  The opening for the series is "Megumeru ~cuckool mix 2007~" by Eufonius.  So, here is my review of the series Clannad.
