This is an excellent show. I'm not quite ready to throw in my lot with
herongale and call it the best anime ever, but it's definitely top-notch.
So much love for Riku. So. Much. Love. If anything horrible happens to him during the course of this show, I will call heron all sorts of nasty names.
speaking of trauma buttons,
octopedingenue, why didn't you warn me about the dog in Her Majesty's Dog, oh godI blame my weakness for innocent younger brother characters on Mai-HiME; I'm pretty sure I didn't have that before I got hit with the sweetness that is the Tokiha sibs. I don't even
have an innocent younger brother. I have an innocent younger sister...and when I say innocent, I mean, innocent like she writes fanfiction in which Edward Elric is tentacle-raped by a carnivorous animated tree. That kind of innocent.
In conclusion, watch Mai-HiME. And Blood+.
