As I wade through the onslaught of new anime series this spring, I hesitated before watching Studio Deen's latest show, Vampire Knight, because 9 times out of 10 these pretty-boy shows don't click with me. When they do work (i.e. Host Club) it's usually because the show is actually very funny, the situtation is unique, and/or the characters are compelling. Is Vampire Knight worth a watch? Read on.

In a season with plenty of promising series, there's gotta be a few stinkers so say hello to the first one into my FAIL folder: Wagaya no Oinari-sama. Bland characters, uninspired animation and a boring story all wrapped up in a derivative package that centers around a animal-god that turns into a woman. Meh. I'll stick with Spice & Wolf and Kanokon when I need some furry fun.

A multitude of HD shots have just been uploaded to the Soul Eater gallery. Plenty of great pics of Blair too. BTW she is my favorite new character, sorry Kurumu.

What do you get when you take three loli espers and pit them against a leather-clad homosexual who shoots pink beams from his crotch? Why you get Zettai Karen Children episode 1, of course.

Continuing our Spring 08 anime coverage comes a very pretty HD episode of Zettai Karen Children (translated, "Absolutely Lovely Children"). The shy one can sense things, the smart one can teleport and the tomboy can throw stuff (when she's not obsessing over boobs like a perverted old man).

Overall, it was entertaining. A straightforward magical girl show with some nice CG here and there coupled with a few funny moments. Maybe not as funny as Maid Guy, but ZKC is still worth a few laughs.

Snag the torrent here if you're interested.

Some nice shots from episode 1 of Kamen no Maid Guy have been capped, color-corrected, and composited into superscreens. These are from the uncensored airing of the show on AT-X, so some screens are NSFW!

Shounen adventure from Bones, top notch.

The latest gig from GONZO is Blassreiter, a good looking sci-fi action show that features lots of CG, crotch-rocket racing and naked women that turn into demonic robot ninjas.

Seriously, it wasn't bad. I think the Blassreiter armor is pretty sweet.

There should be a torrent here.

Check back for a gallery soon after I go through the HD rip and feel free to hit the jump for a Blassreiter trailer.
